I like the rework! My cards are in storage atm so I'm not sure of wording, but can Cloud Moses shut his ability down while in territory? (Asking if this was intentional to make it possible to drop AotL on him if someone desired)
Awesome card. Can he be warrior class? :angel:
So I don't know Canaanites but is there many ways to get back your EC that you give to your opponent? seems like a large cost to pay for a draw 1 if there isn't a few viable ways to get them back

I kinda agree with the cost benefit. Seems a little too costly to give a Canaanite to draw 1 card.
Maybe it could be draw 2 or some other small ability??

Consider that the Canaanite is coming from the reserve so its easy to setup the give with a weak sauce Canaanite. Next turn, you come in with Ehud or Asahel for an easy battle. There is some synergy with the cards mentioned above plus maybe some new cards will interact with given away Canaanites.
I for one like that we are getting cards with a cost for benefit abilities.
I love it, but that's a weird verse for a card called "Doomed Canaanites".... :oContext my boy, context. That verse is part of a prophetic oracle against Tyre and Philistia. Tyre was a major Canaanite center, thus "King of Tyrus".
I am curious to hear more about these doomed cards though. Sounds like maybe one for a major civ in each brigade, with a reference to prophecy about their destruction? Sounds sweet 8)
Curious as to the usefulness of the * ability. Wouldn't it just discard itself on your opponent's first turn?
Also, why limit one per territory? If there was more than one they could just discard each other and it wouldn't be a problem.
Or am I just entirely misunderstanding this card?
Foreign Sword could not be used to topdeck the Canaanite "donated" by KoT since the opponent doesn't own the card ("opponent's" requires ownership and control). But IIRC KoT doesn't require that you give the Canaanite. I think it plays out like this - You may take a Canaanite from Reserve. You may give it to opponent's territory to draw 1.
Permanent Control
If a player has permanent control of a card, then he can treat that card as if it came from his deck. By default, a player has permanent control of all cards on the playing surface that he owns. A player also has permanent control of all cards in their hand. A player may gain permanent control of an opponent's card with a take or give effect that targets that card, or by using an exchange effect that exchanges one of the player's cards with an opponent's card. See Control.
Unless I'm completely missing the point of this definition, if seems to me that it Foreign Sword would work on a character Given by King of Tyrus.
Several cards in Redemption® refer to “opponent’s cards” (e.g., opponent’s Heroes). For a card to be considered an “opponent’s card”, that player must be the owner of the card as well as have control of the card. An “opponent’s” ability is an ability on an “opponent’s” card.
...otherwise Asahel shouldn’t work either.

Asahel doesn't work because he specifies "opponent's male human", unlike Ehud (RA) who simply says "from opponent's territory". I've only used gold Judges with Canaanites myself (because AUTO) and just assumed Asahel had the same wording as Ehud. My bad. Jael still works though.

"You may take a Canaanite from Reserve and give it to opponent's territory to draw 1."
The benefit (draw 1) only happens if the conditions before the to are met. Therefore, you must both A) Take a Canaanite from Reserve and B) give it to opponent's territory to C) draw 1. If you cannot fulfil either A or B, then C doesn't occur. That's what I would say, but I'm prepared to be proven wrong.

The portion of the REG you quoted isn't the key to determining if Foreign Sword works in this scenario. The following is found in the REG Glossary under Opponent.QuoteSeveral cards in Redemption® refer to “opponent’s cards” (e.g., opponent’s Heroes). For a card to be considered an “opponent’s card”, that player must be the owner of the card as well as have control of the card. An “opponent’s” ability is an ability on an “opponent’s” card.
Owner
When a reference is made to the owner of a card, it means the player from whose deck or Reserve the card originated

You have to give to draw, but you don't have to give. You can gain a Canaanite or the drawn card.

Yes, but I knew that. I was just showing that according to the rules (at least as I read them(, once a player has Permanent Control of a card, they are considered an owner.QuoteOwner

Combined with the definition I already said about Permanent Control treating the card as coming from Your Deck, that means that once you gain Permanent Control of a card you are treated as the owner, so Foreign Sword should work. Or did I misinterpret something?
You can't change ownership. Each of the 3 definitions of control (control, temporary control, permanent control) could be argued to change ownership - permanent control is just the bluntest. That should be clarified with the next REG update.
If a player has permanent control of a card, then he can treat that card as if it came from his deck.
So, just to clarify, by the logic of have to take from Reserve and give to opponent to draw, Samuel should be able to search for David or King Saul and NOT put in play in order to not draw then, right? I've heard that's not the case because "and put in play" is a default condition or something but that doesn't really track with KoT then. Or is that just considered old wording now?
I really want Doomed Canaanites to be a real card PLEASE!
This is not an actual card, but a modified version of the black "Doomed" character.

Samuel has one "cost" ability (a search which directs you where to put the card so it cannot default to hand) making it one optional ability that results in a mandatory benefit.
KoT has an optional take to hand and an optional give to opponent (two optional "costs"). If both costs are paid you then gain a benefit.
If we printed KoT a few years ago he'd probably be worded similar to Samuel. But since we use "take" now to get cards from locations you don't control (which includes a search but isn't governed by the same rules as search) the rules that apply to Samuel don't apply to KoT.
