Title: Amos + Basket of Ripe Fruit Enhancement Take #2
Post by: ag4hosea on August 07, 2016, 12:57:26 PM: Okay, here is the most recent, more balanced version of my ideas for Amos and Basket of Ripe Fruit. I hope you enjoy them, and hopefully they are much better than my first attempts at making these cards (aka, not OP, not broken, not crazy stupid and not unplayable).

Please tell me what you think. Thanks guys! 8)

More territory-class territory destruction is also not a good move forward, let alone one that lets you draw more than 4 Drachma Coin with no requirement and no downside, let alone make all your heroes invincible with caves.

Okay, so it seems there is a lot more going on in the prophets theme than I thought. I think I'll give this idea a rest for now.

Draw+battle-winner is a fully-powered card, and TC character destruction is a fully-powered card, so putting both on one card puts it at AutO-level utility. A CBI wide-spectrum band on a Hero is a fully-powered card, a dual-brigade Prophet with no anti-Hidden Treasures mechanic is nearly fully-powered, and a CBI prevent first enhancement is fully-powered, and all 3 makes for a huge power.
