Does it have a negative effect or is it super powerful???

Burial Shroud-
Holder may not make a rescue attempt or be attacked.  May be used twice.

Holder is only the teammate who has this in their artifact pile.  Therefore, that player may not make a rescue attempt while this is active.  That specific player may not be attacked either, which basically means that only their teammate would be able to block a rescue from either player on the opposing team.

Unfortunately, the overall effect of this is that you pretty much do NOT want to use this artifact in TEAMS

So, you're saying that putting a hero into battle trying to receive a lost soul out of my LOB isn't attacking me?

You are incorrect to say it is "my LOB." The correct phrase would be "our LOB."

So, yes, attacking your teammate is not attacking you.

I thought the rule was that technically one of your opponents always has to attack you. At that point you get to decide whether to slide the block to your partner or claim it as your own.  Is this correct? If so, I don't understand how that player would be able to do anything when you had BS active.

Shouldn't it be that you (the person with BS active) couldn't make a RA. Whichever one of your opponents is forced to attack you first would be unable to make a rescue or start a battle challenge. Your teammate could attack. The opponent forced to attack your teammate can start an attack and only your teammate can block.
