Post by: megamanlan on March 30, 2017, 05:57:39 PM

Trying something new here, let me know thoughts on them:

Covenant of Eden
1/1 Blue/Silver Covenant
Gen. 2:17
If a Character is Discarded or Banished, underdeck it instead. If a Genesis Hero is in play and you have no Lost Souls: Negate Evil cards, except animals. If Tree of Knowledge enters battle: Discard this card.

I am considering dropping the second line though...

Spoiler: Adam (hover to show)

Adam
4/3 Blue Hero/5/4 Black Evil Character
Gen. 2:6?, Enters play as a Hero, if Tree of Knowledge or The Serpent enters battle, Convert this card to an Evil Character
Search Deck for a O.T. Site, animal or Genesis Character and play it or Band to a Genesis 1-6 Character. If this Hero enters battle, you can reveal a Good Dominant in Hand to negate Evil and Neutral cards in territories.

Spoiler: Tree of Knowledge (hover to show)

Tree of Knowledge
Blue Site
Gen 2:17
If this card enters battle, Negate and Discard an Artifact to Search Deck for an O.T. Curse and play it and Negate Characters in battle (except Demons) but Heroes gain Site Access. Discard a Humans that battled during your 2nd Standby Phase.

NOTE: Tree of Knowledge is supposed to only negate Characters in battle if it is in battle, I forgot to word the card like that.

Spoiler: Curse of Man (hover to show)

Curse of Man
2/1 Multicolor Curse
Gen. 3:17, Cannot be activated unless a Male and Female Human are in play
Discard and Banish abilities cannot be prevented. Restrict Animals from being played as Enhancements. If a Human is played; Set-Aside a Female in owner's territory for 2 turns. Each player can only Draw 2 cards during their Draw Phase. Cannot be negated.

Curse of Man is strong, but I'm not sure how else to balance it out.

I'd make the convert side of Adam Pale Green so he can be in the antediluvian theme. Pretty darn cool ideas and interactions, just need some balance and focus tweaks.

Antediluvian is Pale Green?

Yes--the antediluvian theme that we created in Cloud of Witnesses is Pale Green.

Ah, okay. I'll change Adam to Pale Green then. I thought it was Black because I thought I saw Cain being Black.

The original Cain from Patriarchs is Black. The new version from Cloud of Witnesses is Pale Green along with the other antediluvian characters and evil enhancements we made.

Must have seen the original by accident.
