Just an idea I had, let me know what you think.
-
May it should be something like "ignores male O.T. Heroes with strength 8 or more." But that is just my thought on it.
-
I have wanted a Delilah reprint in black brigade for so long. That black brigade on her looks so tasty.
-
I feel like Delilah isn't that well-known for being a Philistine; her claim to fame deals strictly with her story with Samson. Unlike someone like Goliath, who was first and foremost a Philistine (okay, first and foremost a giant), Delilah was first and foremost a temptress. I would probably do something like this:
"Once per game, you may capture a male human hero. Opponent may choose to discard all cards in battle instead. Cannot be prevented."
That's just a thought.

Sorry for the double-post, but also, this:

While I think it is important to represent her role as a temptress, and I probably have not done that enough here, I think representing her role as a philistine is important as well, (though maybe less so). Just because she is less known for her role as a philistine does not mean it is not important, she was a philistine who betrayed Samson to a other philistines. And in a game like redemption where evil themes (or at least many of the evil themes) are based around the the civilizations in the old testament, it would seem somewhat of a shame to me to completely ignore Delilah's philistineness.

"Protect Philistines from Judges. Look at Opponent's hand. You may Capture all cards in battle. Opponent may Discard a Card matching Hero's brigade instead."
How about that?
-
Add CBI. Make it monster. ;D

hmmm, seems good, but maybe the capture part should be "You may band to a Philistine to capture all cards in battle. Opponent may Discard...," since Delilah had to call in friends to do the actual capturing of Samson. Just an idea, maybe not a good one, but throwing it out there.

I just like the idea of capturing enhancements when I band in Delilah :D
On a side note, I more like the capture a male human in battle and opponent may instead discard all cards in battle. More fits what she actually did :)

That was the boring pop version. Mine's the Tim Hawkins win.
