I had thought that most players agreed these were too powerful before this new set. The ones I can think of now are Chamber of Angels, The Name of the Lord, and no Fishing Boat. Are there more than that?

My question is - How do you defende against these, discard them, or at least negate them? Am I right that there are very few cards that can touch them? (I think a demon specifically targets Chamber). Why should a fishing boat be so hard to target?

Thanks for any help you can offer regarding what cards have an effect on these "set aside" fortresses.

You can discard set-aside OT Fortresses (Kerith Ravine and Dust and Ashes) with Set Fire. While you cannot target NT set-aside Fortresses (except for Prince of the Air, which can target Chamber of Angels...I think) you can affect the characters in them. The lone exception is The Name of the Lord (which, I'm sure we can all agree, should be non-targetable anyway). Persian Presidents can capture a Disciple from Fishing Boat or Chamber (I'm pretty sure on Chamber anyway), and Darius' Decree can discard all the Disciples inside Fishing Boat.

I'm sure if Fishing Boat starts becoming OP'd/used in all top decks, then there will be some counters to it. But I don't really see that happening. It's really just a draw/site access card.

The Gates of Hell, Tartaros, and Dust and Ashes as well. There may be others that I'm forgetting, too.

Right now there's My Lord and My God, that can target Tartaros and Gates of Hell.
A New Beginning shuffles all of them.
Set Fire can snipe any of the OT ones.
~~Watcher should be able to kill Tartaros, but I've never seen it actually done.~~ Nevermind, the play as on him removes the last sentence.

There's also a few cards that target specific ones, like the demon you mentioned.
