These cards look interesting!  Just a quick question, on the cards that say something like "holder may place an evil giant in territory to discard one hero in a territory."  Where is the Giant placed?  Where did it come from?  There doesn't seem to be a game mechanic that covers this ability.  Just curious about how it worked.
In AMERICA!!

Right... I should be more clear on that but I was afraid of running out of space on the card. In these cards, anything "placed" in territory is always placed from holder's hand into holder's territory. I was going to have this say, "reveal" an evil giant from hand to discard..." Thoughts?

@drb1200 - nice card - also try using this picture (actually closer to what the Colossus was thought to have looked like):

One more card. Not sure if this is considered a "Wonder of the World" or not, but...

Roman Coliseum Roman Site - Red
When a lost soul is rescued from this site, interrupt Wall of Protection. You may choose any two heroes in play to fight each other. Loser is placed in owner's land of bondage and is treated as a lost soul. If a Roman Emperor is in play, remove losing hero from the game instead.

Colossus at Rhodes seems to me to be to strong.

If someone does a deck with this its most likely gonna have giants which means its pretty likely that that hero will be dead almost every time.
Never underestimate the power of the unknown.

Well... every time a lost soul is rescued, it would trigger.
