New Redemption Grab Bag now includes an assortment of 500 cards from five (5) different expansion sets. Available at Cactus website.
For simplicity's sake why not just leave it as a convert ability since "fall" is virtually synonymous?
because angels/demons otherwise cannot be converted
Just had a thought about Sorcerers. I assume it's intended for "take it to hand" and "or discard it to discard a good card" to be separate clauses, but the way it's worded it could be construed to mean you can either take it to hand or discard it to end up with the "discard a good card" benefit.
So how does Polycarp work exactly?
If your opponent plays something like dream where they interrupt, draw 3, then play an enhancement, how much of that gets insteaded? dream would have to resolve before he could activate, so another enhancement will have been played because of the instead, what happens to that?
When the triggering event occurs, the ability with the instead activates immediately, inserting itself before any additional abilities complete.
If a removing ability is negated (or cannot reactivate after an interrupt effect is played) and the negate (or interrupt effect that prevented reactivation) is later undone such that the original removing ability reactivates, this would trigger a separate instance of Special Initiative.
Also, with peter out, can't you just heal him when he gets discarded, making it so he never dies and all you NT enhancements become almost effectively CBN? (correct me if I'm wrong, but heal is not an instead ability, so he is still paying his cost by being discarded and his ability works, but them peter heals him so he returns to territory)
When a character is healed from being discarded, it is placed in the territory of the player with permanent control, and the discard is not considered to have completed for the purposes of abilities or conditions that trigger based on a character or card being discarded.

One of the resulting changes is that when a character is healed from discard, they are never actually discarded. If you heal a martyr who discards himself as the cost for an effect (such as Polycarp) then the cost was never paid because the character was never discarded. The entire martyr theme would be broken with Peter if that was not the case!
Two situation/combos were discovered which would have led to Lamb's Righteousness being able to rescue a captured Hero on the opponent's turn...one of those situations we were okay with, the other not so much. Can you figure out what those situations/combos were? Consequently, the condition for Lamb's Righteousness will be changing from "If you have not rescued a Lost Soul this turn" to simply "If rescuing." We probably should have just remembered KISS -- Keep It Simple Silly.

So after setting my spreadsheet for the new set there are a few things we can decipher from the numbers for the cards yet to be released:
My initial reading was the way it was intended as well, just thought I'd mention the possibility of ambiguity since the cards are still editable if needed.
