Hello all,
This is my first time posting, so forgive me if these questions should be in the "rules" section instead, or I have missed them in the REG.
1) Devourer - The wording on this card is very unique, because it does not say "negate", but rather "interrupt and discard". Does this card actually negate the effect of the enhancement(s), or must discard them. If it doesn't actually negate anything from happening, then I fail to see why I would need to "interrupt" something.
2) "Search for an artifact" - Eli the Priest and Maji, for example, can search for an OT or NT artifact, respectively. How do covenants and curses work in this regard? In other words, when a covenant is in your draw pile still, is it an enhancement, an artifact, or actually both?
3) Multi-color sites / "Lost Soul" sites - Several abilities target "Lost Soul" sites. Is there such a thing as a non-Lost Soul site? Are sites like New Jerusalem and Dragon Raid "Lost-Soul" sites, or are you not allowed to place lost souls in those sites? I thought at first that it meant there is a lost soul currently in the site, but then I saw others that said what to do "IF" the site holds a lost soul.
4) Wastelands (Curse) - I assume that I, as the holder of Wastelands, get to choose the site that is discarded?
Thank you so much clarifying these issues for us.

Interrupt stops it briefly. It then discards them, because they are discarded they can no longer reactivate so their abilities are worthless.

A covenant is a covenant, not an artifact. The answer is no.

I believe you CAN place lost souls in Dragon Raid or New Jerusalem, but what is the point? Those sites are every color, meaning any hero can rescue there.
4) Wastelands (Curse) - I assume that I, as the holder of Wastelands, get to choose the site that is discarded?
Always post card abilities when possible.
Type: Curse • Brigade: Orange • Ability: 2 / 4 • Class: None • Special Ability: Selected opponent must place a Site from his territory beneath deck. May be used twice per game. • Identifiers: OT • Verse: Deuteronomy 29:23 • Availability: Faith of Fathers (Set 8)
It seems like your opponent chooses what site.

On 3, I frequently put the site guard ls into my Ends of the Earth.

On #3, I will sometimes put the Hand Discarder LS or Deck Discarder LS in Dragon Raid, New Jerusalem or Promised Land.
On #4, Your opponent chooses which site and the site is not discarded, but placed on the bottom of deck.
Godspeed,
Mike

It's useful for a few things actually. Deck discard ls, trumpet blast, samson's sacrifice and a few other things. ;)

You can place ls in those sites, Most people don't use them for anything but acsess but...I always have certain site ls in my deck just in case I'm not against a site deck, it gives my multi sites a use.
