herod questions

1)if i use herod philip II, can i place him beneth deck even if there is no herod to search for in my deck? an if i do place him under by deck, does my opponent get a chance to negate his "return hero to territory" ability or does it work like amelikites slave, meaning once he is out of battle its pretty much cannot be interrupted

2) if i dont have any cards to discard from the top of my deck, can i still use herods temples ability?

Herod Philip II (Di)
Type: Evil Char. • Brigade: Gold • Ability: 7 / 9 • Class: Warrior • Special Ability: If another Herod is in play, return a Hero with strength greater than X to territory. You may place this card beneath deck to add a Herod to battle.

Herod's Temple (Di)
Type: Fortress • Brigade: None • Ability: None • Class: None • Special Ability: If your N.T. human is discarded by a special ability used by an opponent, you may discard a card of matching brigade from hand and the top X cards of your deck instead. Put Lost Souls in play instead

1) I think the first question is a misunderstanding. His ability works only if another Herod is in play, he doesn't search for a Herod. So you can only use his return ability if another Herod is in play, and then you have the option of putting him under your deck to bring a Herod into battle from your territory or hand.

His ability to return a Hero can be interrupted (if he is returning your only Hero), but I'm not sure if something like Zeal would work, since I don't think the ItB part returns him to play to be discarded. If you played something like Protection of Angels, then you could stop the withdraw. I'm not 100% on what else you can do though...

2) You can only use HT with 0 cards in your deck if you have 0 Redeemed Souls. Doing nothing is the same as discarding X=0. If you have any Redeemed Souls, then you cannot pay the cost of the instead, so you can't use it.
Press 1 for more options.
