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's Temple (Di)
