Say I block with Red Dragon "Immune to human heroes."  I'm attacked by Simeon "If you have a female Genesis Hero in play, opponent must discard an evil card from hand or territory.  May band to Levi."  Say there is a Genesis female.  He discards my only evil card in hand.  Then plays Dove "Opponent must discard an evil card from hand of battle."  So I have to discard my Red Dragon.  So does he rescue a lost soul since I was immune to him, or does he win the lost soul.

You would have to negate the immunity on Red Dragon first, otherwise your humans are useless.

Immune characters cannot be targeted by the cards they're immune to. Even though the opponent chooses, it is Dove that's doing the targeting. In that rare case, your hand is revealed to show you can't discard anything from hand, and nothing happens.

Yeah, he's right.  If you are supposed to discard something from your hand and can't because you don't have any, then you have to reveal your hand to your opponent.  This doesn't happen very often, so it is a little known rule.  However, Tim Mierz is likely to know it due to his deck that he won Nats with.  There were probably a number of times where his opponent's didn't have any evil cards to discard, and had to show their hand instead

Oh yeah, it is in the REG too btw.

Instant Abilities, Discard or Remove, Special Conditions:
"If you are required to discard a specific card from hand and you do not have that card in your hand, you must show your hand."

I take "specific card" to mean "specific category of card."

Don't worry, SirNobody, Prof had to teach me that one too.

Unfortunately, these rules exist in order to stem off cheating, same reason you have to show a searched card unless it's "any card", so you don't search for an Enhancement and grab Son of God.  Sad it has to exist in a Christian card game but gotta cover all the bases.
