This does a couple of things:

A) Massively punishes drawing outside of battle.
B) Makes it much harder to use small initiave characters.
C) Fits with the theme of Roman hand control
D) Fits with the (seemingly) Greek theme of forced drawing.

The skip draw phase line was added to give opponent's a way around having 11 cards in their hand before rescuing.

I don't like the idea of ignore on artifacts/covs/curses. I had initially used Restrict, but the wording felt odd like that, so I went back to "may not enter."

I mean, you are saying you don't like the idea, but that's really what the card is doing.

You could just use paralyze then.

"If you control an evil Greek or Roman, opponent's Heroes with toughness less than X are paralyzed...."

The more I think about it, the more Paralyze works with this.

I would like paralyzed better. that would implement not being able to do anything, just sit there till you decrease cards in hand.  then they wouldnt be able to hold weapons or go to set aside either.

They could hold weapons and go to set aside, just not enter battle.

A paralyze ability targets a character in a territory. That character is not allowed to enter battle until it is healed.

A paralyze ability is instantaneous. A paralyze ability targets the character that then cannot enter battle.

It's been Play-As'd onto a lot of old pale green cards.

This card is pretty broken, its basically Garden Tomb and HHI combined but much worse. How about X or greater instead of less thats not as powerful and it fits with the theme of Hand Control. You could add an additional ability to counter drawing.

Bingo. The lower their hand count, the more characters they can use.

IO think that it is great. they either draw less cards, or use bigger characters, which gives you inishitive to play what you need.
