Title: Cave of Machpelah
Post by: Arrthoa on January 30, 2012, 10:31:44 PM

Good Fortress
Identifier: Holds any number of Heroes
Ability: If your human Genesis Hero is discarded, place here instead. Treat as discard Heroes. You may discard a good Genesis card from hand to return a Hero to your territory.

This is to help recure Genesis Heroes and to give them a more useful fortress than Goshen. If you think it should have a different ability, post it here. This is also called the Cave of the Patriarchs, where Abe, Issac, Jacob and their wives are buried.

Could you potentially discard a Genesis hero to take a different one out?

Yes, since a Genesis Hero is a good Genesis card

I find myself liking this idea. It fits into Genesis' recursion theme quite nicely, while still requiring a cost.

This will also give the Genesis Heroes a tournament deck worthy fortress. Thanks for giving positive comments on the card too.
