Way OP. If you made immune instead of ignore it would be better.

I like the concept, but I'd make it N.T. Heroes and immunity.

I think this brings back a concept of having to have Non-special abilitied characters. Immunity is too weak and easily over run

Counters: Using a non-special abilitied evil character, Christian Martyr, Unholy Writ, any card that discards an artifact, Plus the ability works against you

Immune would be fairly balanced (you could probably even take out the discard condition), but as an ignore it would be grossly OP'd. I put three of these in my T2 Disciples deck with Andrew, Bartholomew (Ap), John (Prophets), James Son of Alphaeus (Ap) and maybe even one copy of an Apostles Thaddeus or Philip, and if for some reason Thaddeus is getting stopped, I'll activate one of these. T1 certainly doesn't need anymore general target pre-block ignores either. Sure, some people may use no-SA EC's, but they would have to be few in number to be competitive in general, and those could be easily gotten rid of.

Immunity that can't be stopped by an ItB card is actually pretty useful, not as much for Heroes, but it could be worthwhile for some combos.

Why the protection from EEs? If your immune they can't do anything to you any ways so I see the protection kinda pointless...

But it makes them practically indestructible with HT so dominants can't hurt you. The protection is just too much imo.

but this would not stop standard abilities from being an important factor. Just trying to create an actual battle phase.

I believe my most recent modification makes this card not over powering and makes cards from the original, prophets, womens, & appostles expansions relevant finally.

The "opponent may discard" part makes it easier than cake to get rid of. Oh, I have 0 special ability ECs in play? Okay, I discard all 0 of them to discard this covenant.

You just don't activate it unless there is a special abilitied evil character in play.

1st it's too powerful and now its not. Make up your minds people.

If this card was used in a TGT deck, then that would be a less likely scenario. There are versions of John and Joanna that have no SA.
