Can we stop getting ambiguous teases about the new cards. The anticipation is giving me bodily pain... jk, but for real you're messing with my emotions lol.

The play testers have really had their head in the clouds this year. So I would be lion if I told you we were far enough along to give any real teasers "Today". When we're close enough that the cards are set in stoned I'm sure you'll be flooded with spoilers. But have faith and don't be provoked by any "ambiguous teases" you think you've seen.

In all seriousness, real spoilers about the new cards never used to come out until late June or early July. Last year we were able to start as early as May. Hopefully you can expect the same this year.

There may or may not be 7 ambiguous teasers in the first paragraph.

Really Gabe,

This is why 'You will Remain' a junior playtester, all of these lawless previews. I am Warning you against Rebellion, we will evict you. Have a little faith in our ability to distribute this information, there's no need to be a bear about it.

All the late nights of testing and going over the set list have forced me to make coffee...like this guy. He "makes" it so well.

I am going to try to make guesses from what they have said here. I might make some cards from the concepts later.


 Gabe
The play testers have really had their head in the clouds this year. - there is something here, I am sure.
 So I would be lion - Lion's den from Daniel?
if I told you we were far enough along to give any real teasers "Today". The longest day?
 When we're close enough that the cards are set in stoned - Tables of the law?
 I'm sure you'll be flooded with spoilers. _ Deluge of Rain
 But have faith and don't be provoked - Provoking terror
by any "ambiguous teases" you think you've seen. - nothing


RDT
This is why 'You will Remain' a junior playtester, all of these lawless previews.- Lawlessness
 I am Warning you against Rebellion, - Angellic Rebellion/Rebellion
we will evict you. - Eviction (I thought there was an older card of this, but aparently not.)
Have a little faith in our ability to distribute this information, - Faith
 there's no need to be a bear about it. -Two Bears

Wyatt...you have made those so much more complicated; and impressively so.

It is so funny how much confusion there is on the boards about the upcoming set. Just relax folks...don't have a cow!

Man, with the prophets packs being retired this year and reading some of these hints is making me think that the new set has to do with Isaiah and others prophets... hmmm

It's likely that the set will have prophets (there are many of them in the Bible) but I highly doubt Isaiah will be among them himself given he just had a reprint in 2011's set.

True for the character maybe, but the book itself is huge. 66 chapters can produce a lot of content plus the other major and minor prophets.

I'm probably completely wrong, but the comments so far have made me think (and hope!) there might be some Exodus cards in the new set. Several references to cows (Golden Calf reprint maybe? or a reference to the plague that killed livestock), stoned and lawless comments could refer to the Tables of the Law and related things (as wyatt_marcum suggested), since Gabe (I think) already confirmed the focus isn't Genesis then the flooded reference makes me think the Red Sea and flooding the Egyptian army, and Exodus has the potential for cards from a lot of brigades (even teal!).

Other than Aaron from Disciples and some cards in Priests, Exodus hasn't really had much other than early sets and starter deck cards, so there's plenty there ripe for reprint or even just initial printing, too, imo.

:2cents:

:2cents:

Fact 1: There is a card with an Exodus reference in this set

Fact 2: There is an Exodus card in every non-box pack

They just said it isn't Isaiah himself. but there could very well be many cards from the book. that was neither confirmed nor denied. just not another version of him.

We all know among the play testers that John is an animal when it comes to spoilers. If everyone wants to hunt for clues, then Gabe is their guy and John will be right there to chastise him for it. You know what they say...spare the rod, spoil the child boards. Can't we all just be buds and get along?
