Title: Son of God
Post by: Red Dragon Thorn on October 29, 2009, 02:24:54 AM: Son of God
Type: Lamb • Brigade: None • Ability: None • Class: None • Special Ability: Rescue any Lost Soul in play. • Identifiers: None • Verse: Revelation 1:12-13 • Availability: A Deck (L), A Deck (UL), B Deck (L), B Deck (UL), E Deck, F Deck, G Deck, and H Deck

Can I rescue the N.T. soul with this card?

Just kidding ;)

Since it doesn't specify, can I choose to resuce a lost soul, and place it in my opponents land of redemption??
Pretty please?
Also, if so, can I use New Jerusalem in a similar way?

Thanks,

RDT

Either way, I would say no, you can't do this. "Rescue a Lost Soul" pretty clearly is supposed to mean that you are rescuing it, not someone else. When you play a capture card, are you allowed to send the character to the opponent's LoB? Most certainly not, unless the card says so. I don't see how this is different.
