If Isaiah is in battle before Herod, Herod's ability cannot be prevented.

My opinion is that Herod would work because Isaiah's Call says "While in battle, Isaiah has...

Yes. Being prevented by an enhancement is being prevented by the Hero who played it. See: David's Triumph.

I suppose that is kinda the same thing as being immune to a hero which means that you are immune to the enhancements played on the hero.

Also see Thaddeus, it was ruled that enhancements played by an EC cannot target him because they count as the EC using the ability.

I actually thought this was for something else, as can Herod the Great return everything but one Hero back to territory. As including Sites, etc.

I'm fairly certain that the Creeping Deceiver and Thaddeus ruling has little bearing, (it may still apply although I'm not sure since Isaiah's Call could have been played on a character several turns ago, does it still go that far back to see if it is still played on a hero?)

But the key thing is that Isaiah's Call says that Isaiah negates evil characters (among other things) Isaiah is the one attempting to negate the ability, similar to how a Gathered character is doing the banding (yes I realize that there is a slight difference, in that Isaiah's Call sticks around while Gathering of Angels is discarded, but the principle is the same)

At least that's my take on it.
