I will be the first to admit my favorite brigade's got a few problems right now, but having Rahab almost helps alleviate the Soul Gen one.

I don't think that you'll have issues with soul gen after the new set releases. If you do it'll probably be because you're choosing not to use it. 

A few comments/spoilers Yay! Spoilers!

1) If you like Red Warriors, get excited, Benny is like the third best card they're getting this year.

2) I wouldn't worry too much about losing Rahab, you'll find a couple ways to generate souls next year.

3) No crazy speed for Red, but I've never considered them to be slow... David and Ishmiaih get me where I need to go usually

So multi brigade  O.T. heroes like Dave the Shepard and Joshua, Son of Nun won’t turn off new Benaiah?

Correct, the way we have the unity ruling worded, having brigades or identifiers in addition to the unified clause doesn't turn it off.

Love is a perfect way to get around a good brigade restriction on your Unity clauses. Now we just need to be able to add or change references, identifiers, and Warrior statuses. I got it! New Soul Idea!

Lost Soul

(Edit) X = # rolled on any # sided die

When put in territory convert a character to any brigade of matching alignment. You may have that character gain or lose warrior class, an identifier, name, artist, rarity, trade value, and/or a book reference. Redistribute ability points on the character as you choose. If the card has no ability Character gains the ability to search anywhere (including the internet) for a card with an errata and play it time as written regardless of erratas, restrictions, physically being present, and judges rulings. Copy these effects at any time up to X times at any point after this card has been played (including any future games). Must be rescued X times. If this lost soul would be fully rescued rip this card in half X times to begin a new game instead.

Note: I started this out as a legit ability in my mind but then I was like nah, lets go crazy.

Old themes revisited. Feel like we're going in circles.

Taking from the Emperor Caius Caligula example, does Unity imply that have to be "yours" as in, owned and controlled by you?

As the example with Emp. Caligula, if you banded him into battle from your opponent’s territory, and all of your ECs were not Roman then his ability wouldn’t work. However, if all of your ECs happened to be Roman then his ability would work, even though you temporarily control him.

I was more thinking along the lines of, if I use Stalk's of Flax to take JD's Children of Light, does my Shamgar still work?

His ability would turn off since CoL is a NT warrior. But why would it matter if his ability worked anyways? You’ve got your opponent’s CoL that you could use for a couple of turns! Hopefully she’ll be full loaded too.

I'm not sure if an elder wants to confirm this or not but the way I understand Unity is that it is a direct replacement for the text "if all of your x are y"

Thanks! Also, would the converted weapon's ability be able to be used by Benaiah (so long as it didn't target another Hero)? Like if it was Namaan's Chariot & Horses, would he be able to do the D2 + play?

So his ability is negate other characters and enhancements (except good weapons). I’m assuming this means all enhancements played on him and him alone aren’t negated, but why would the “except good weapons” clause be in there? Is that because of any heroes banded to Benaiah who use good weapons?
