I think that basically it is a very good idea for a card. When i first saw this idea i didnt immediately think of the offensive side of it, but sense i have thought about it and have seen other remarks i do see that it could have use as an offensive card.
If im understanding it correctly, the card would only prevent taking out of a single warehouse. It would not stop trade in the port, it would not stop your stocking the warehouse in that port. I can see that it could be used to prevent you from emptying a ware house. the answer is either enlarge the warehouse, or change to a different one for the time being. eventually they will either run out of cards, or tire of spending credits to get enough to keep you blockaded.
As a side benefit to growing the warehouse, it would lessen the demand for party cards, thus lowering their prices.
the downside to it is that if you start using it on a specific warehouse, you will likely have to continue using it if you continue to store in that warehouse. i dont think that i have ever used LOD, do the items taken from the warehouse go to the caster, or does the game just eat them? if the latter, there would be no intrinsic value to the caster other than to irritate the one with the warehouse. so, would it be worth the credits to maintain a pronlonged coverage on someone?
In the mean time if you use them yourself, your protecting A warehouse from being plundered.
As for the rarity i think it is a borderline call between common and uncomon, Rar i think is totally out of the question.
While i can see some downside to the card. i thing i would have to give it a +1
