Title: The Name of the Lord
Post by: Carl deuty on February 11, 2011, 12:56:55 PM: Does anyone use this fortress? I have never seen it played and wondered why? Doesn't it protect you from evil cards?

The Name of the Lord (AW)

I think the protected from effect part would protect from your opponent but i don't know because sometimes you can't effect your own cards.
