I have Herod's Praetorium in territory...(SA - While you control a Herod, negate ignore abilities. Protect you Herods from opponents' band abilities. If a N.T. hero is in battle, withdraw abilities used by your Herod cannot be negated.)

Opponent is RAing with say Samuel to Saul to Dave, the Shepherd.
I block with say Herod Philip II (SA - 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. X=# of cards in opponent's deck.) I don't use the SA.
What is Herod Philip II exactly being protected from by Herod's Praetorium?
 - Numbers of the band?
 - Is he more like ignoring the band?
 - Does he lose inish after being placed into battle because he is protected from the band?

Godspeed,
Mike

so it would be read from a defensive protect point of view (opponent can't band my Herods into battle) NOT a protect from opponent offensive bands.... gotcha   although that would be a pretty sweet protect...

Godspeed,
