Title: A Call for a Librarian (for Pol)

"Search discard pile for a good Esther card.  Protect that card from opponents this turn, and its special ability cannot be negated."
Esther 6:1-2

It's from when King Xerxes had trouble sleeping, so he called an attendant to read him a book of the history of his reign, and he discovered that Mordecai (who had saved the king from an assassination plot) had never been rewarded.

Did you mean for this to be the first card in the game that could recur the AotL dominant?

needs to say "except a Dominant." Even then it would be quite powerful.

Nerfed it.  Now we just need some playable Esther cards to start a mini-theme...  Including a themed dominant that is weak enough that it can be recurred without being OP.

I love it! There's all kinds of stuff in the Bible we don't typically think of!
