balance- simplicity only equal fun until you are more advanced. For example chess is harder to learn buy more fun to play than checkers. It might take longer to learn the ins and outs of chess but when you do it will be much more entertaining

It actually is more simple. It's changing "you can only rescue Lost Souls in opponents' lands of bondages except with these two particular cards" to "you can only rescue Lost Souls in opponents' lands of bondges."

Many people are surprised when they first learn the game that they can use SoG to rescue their own LSs. I have to actually TEACH that as a "strategy tip" to all my new players because at first they assume that they can't.
I didn't like the "only opp LS" when I first heard about it, and now like it even less. I think that rules that make sense, even if they are complicated, are preferable.
KING'S DAUGHTER SAYS I HAVE ACCESS TO ANY SITE SO I CAN RESCUE MY OWN LOST SOULS IF THEY'RE IN A SITE
Why not? Any means any, right?
Because you still have to attack the player you're rescuing the soul from, and you can't attack yourself. I can't rescue a soul from someone I'm not attacking in multi even if I have access to the site their soul is held in, also.
than to make an exception for two specific cards that don't get to break game rule.
Pol, there is no game rule that you can only rescue opponent's souls. Only that you can only make a RESCUE ATTEMPT against your opponent, and not yourself.
making the new change ALSO doesn't violate any game rules, it just creates one
Which is why I think it is more complicated. It limits Sog/nj to disallow them from doing what their ability says they should do.
There is no practical difference when the discussion is in relation to simplicity. "You may only rescue your opponents' souls"="you may only attack your opponents" with SoG/NJ being the only exception.
Brandon, if I activate Jacob's Ladder, can I rescue one of my own lost souls?Why not? It doesn't say it has to be in an opponent's land of bondage. It just says I have to have "access." If I have access to the Lost Soul in my territory to rescue with Son of God, then don't I have access to rescue with Jacob's Ladder?
