Three questions.

1. Can you use the ability on Philistine Outpost more than once when you are attacked? Example: discard two evil cards from deck to search for two generic Philistines.

Philistine Outpost "When you are attacked, you may discard this card or an evil card from deck to search discard pile for a generic Philistine and place it in your territory."

2. Can you discard teal sites with Solomon's Temple instead ability?

Solomon's Temple "If a Solomon’s Temple Priest, King of Judah, or Solomon is captured or discarded by an opponent’s special ability, you may discard a teal card from hand instead. "

3. Why does Lampstand protect cards in Land of Redemption? Wouldn't the ability default to in play?

"Protect all cards not in battle from evil Dominants (grim-reaper icon cards)."

I can answer the third one. Lampstand has a target area, and it is "not in battle".
It is only if no target area is specified that it defaults to in play.

Also, for 2, yes, because it is a teal card.

And I guess I know all three and went backwards XD
No, because you are only attacked once, and that is a trigger for the card.

Right, but I'm not sure I agree with your answer to #2...

I think your answers for 1 and 3 make sense, although a definite answer on 1 would be nice.

Also, for 2, yes, because it is a teal card.

I guess this is what I am wondering. Is a teal site actually a teal card? Or is it just a site that is needs teal to get into? I kind of had a feeling sites are more like fortresses and don't have any brigade like characters or enhancements.

You cannot search for sites. They have neutral brigades, which are different from good brigades.

Actually, since Angelic Guidance doesn't specify "good silver card" you could use it to search for a silver site.

As Nameless said, sites have neutral brigades so if you can search for a silver card or discard a teal card, a site qualifies.

This is directly analogous to the ruling that Battle Prayer (Wa) can search for either a good or an evil gold brigade enhancement.

Agreeing with the rulings here, and putting them all together for ease of reading:

1.  You are attacked once, one discard.

2.  Agree with the ruling that sites have brigades, it is very consistently ruled (and the Temple ruling has specifically been ruled as such).  You can also search for it by brigade, as long as the card can search for a neutral card without restriction.

3.  "Not in battle" is defined (it is in the REG) as "Cards 'not in battle' are cards found in (1) territories, (2) set aside areas, and (3) Lands of Redemption."  As targeting is defined, the ability does not default to play.
