This may be a bit OP.  ;)

Nice! You can rescue your own soul, and New Jerusalem can't combo with it!

Love it. Would totally play it over the standard Sog/Nj combo. Rescuing your own lost souls is a huge advantage.

What would happen if the 3-liner is tapped in your own territory and you save that one?

I still don't think you could rescue it yourself since you didn't rescue it the first time.  Interesting thought.

The 3 liner would be negated though right?

I really like this. Along with MKC, I'd definitely use this over SoG/NJ combo because it's good and takes up one less dominant slot.

I really like this card, and I know something similar had been kicked around awhile ago, just without a different name.  The option to rescue ANY soul but have one less dom rescue while saving a dom slot is all very interesting for strategy.

My suggestion though would be to make the identifier read: "Same card as Son of God."

Then you'd be able to play NJ off of it.

That's his point.
 
However, I believe this combined with NJ is too much power for any single deck. The idea (as I understood it) was to make a more powerful SoG and add some variances in doms (getting around two of last year's mid-season rulings).
ANB is good. Change my mind.

I like it and you would have even more variety for dom usage in decks.

For me this would be an auto-include in T2-2P. I would probably lean towards traditional SoG/NJ in T2-MP.

My point wasn't to have it used with NJ still, my bad ;)

I guess it would be more like: "Same card as Son of God for deck-building," though my idea had been to try and make the identifier not as cumbersome.

"Same unique card as Son of God" would be the way to go. That way, New Jerusalem still can't work with it (because any card referencing Morg wouldn't work for Morgan), you still can't have both in a deck, and most importantly, you can't have SoG in one Teams deck and SoM in the other and successfully use both in one game.
I am not talking about T2 unless I am explicitly talking about T2. Also Mayhem is fine now somehow!

Great points especially the part I italicized.
