Dinah
[Blue Hero | 5/5 | Genesis 30:21]
Draw a card. You may capture Dinah to opponent's Land of Bondage to search deck for O.T. Simeon or Levi and add to battle. Cannot be interrupted.
Shechem
[Gray? EC | 6/9 | Royalty | Genesis 34:2]
If blocking a Genesis Hero, capture abilities cannot be negated. You may discard an O.T. gray card from hand to capture Shechem and up to two Heroes.
-
They're both really op, with dinah just go out solo and get any enhancement whenever.
Shechem makes everything a cbn battlewinner, and why is he pale green... magician?
-
The whole bit about X on Dinah is superfluous. Since it's "up to," just search for one and your opponent will randomly pick it. In essence her SA is "search deck for a Genesis card. Cannot be interrupted." That's pretty dang powerful, but not OP. Still, it doesn't really have anything to do with her story and is a rather generic ability.
Shechem is in the wrong brigade (or lacks a brigade if he's a Magician) and has a low-cost CBN battle-winning ability. I'd say he's OP.

Shameless plug here... I like the Dinah I created about a year ago.
Dinah - 3/3 Blue hero
Genesis 30:21
"If blocked by a male human, place Dinah in opponent's land of bondage to add Simeon or Levi to battle. While Dinah is in a land of bondage, special abilities on sons of Jacob cannot be negated by evil cards."
-
Removed the "up to" from Dinah so it's more random.
He was pale green before, I didn't see a reason to change him. What brigade would you suggest? Gray or brown? Also, any suggestions for balancing his ability?
No offense, but please don't post your cards in my thread.
-
Easy, Hoss. I like him putting his created idea in there. Gives you a comparison to measure your Dinah against. How about this:
Dinah
Blue Hero 5/5
"Search deck for a Genesis card. Cannot be interrupted."
"If blocked by a male human, place Dinah in opponent's land of bondage to add Simeon or Levi to battle.
While Dinah is in a land of bondage, special abilities on sons of Jacob cannot be negated by evil cards."
Throws a bit of spice into the battle. What do you think about this?
God Bless Ya!

I think that's too long for official cards, though the idea isn't bad. Thanks for the suggestion!
I don't mind people posting suggestions for improving my card ideas (like you did), I just don't appreciate people advertising their own cards in my thread, I don't think that's unreasonable. I apologize if I sounded harsh.
-
Combining the two how about:
Dinah
5/5 Blue Hero
Place Dinah in opponent's land of bondage to search deck for Simeon or Levi and add them to battle. Cannot be Negated.
-
How about:
Shechem
"Anytime during battle, you can remove this card from the game to capture all heroes in battle. if hero is protected from capture, they must withdraw instead. CBP."
-
Updated Dinah with a new ability from suggestions so far.
Updated Shechem to Gray and switched his ability around a little, hopefully he's more balanced now.
EDIT: @Ironica - That's an interesting ability, I will definitely consider it. ^_^
-
Ooh, I like the Shechem. It falls in line with the Grey block scheme. Though he'll most certainly be giving initiative away, up his numbers to help with Thad.
-
Up them to what? 9/9? 10/10? 42/42?
-
Up them to what? 9/9? 10/10? 42/42?
6/9
-
6/9 it is, at least for now.

I apologize for posting my card. I should have phrased it as a suggestion instead of saying it was my card. No hard feelings?
-
I like Dinah so far.
Shecham might get better later on...
Dinah would definately be going in my Genesis Deck!

None. ^_^
How do you like the updated abilities?
-
Shechem removed seeing as the new set already has a reprint of him, lol.

Wait what? Where's this?
-
In the "First Article for the New Set" thread/article, though I think you've found it by now, lol.
-
Yup, went looking right after I posted that on the faint hope that it might be there. Imagine my raucous joy upon finding it and spending hours planning to combo off of it and all the new spoilers.
-
Haha! Indeed.
