Oh, sorry, the irst 2 are keeping their old refs so I didn't list them. The other 7 are from the same verse which can be found in Esther 1:(9 or 10 I think). There's 7 of them in the verse, thus their numbers. ^_^


Also the verse on the last one (Isaiah 39:7 And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, which thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.) Is referring to the babylonian fall, which Daniel and co. were a part of. Daniel was alsoo put under the charge of the master of the eunuchs, Ashphenaz and rose to a high position even as a slave which implies him being a eunuch (something they did to keep there from being others to dispute the thrown)

I know the theme may seem a bit laughable but it's no more controversial than several other cards Redemption has printed.

I'd really like some feedback on the cards, at least.

Daniel should be Green. The "Daniel Heroes" theme in White didn't really work out. Also, I'm not sure if he is OP or UP. If Search is based on Prophecy, it's OP. If not, it's UP.

ET just doesn't quite seem good enough, especially when compared to his Purple counterpart.

White doesn't need a */1 Hero. It's borken enough as-is.

Not a bad card, but I just can't get over the eunuch theme. I'd love it if it were a Warrior (say, Abner) who banded to a WC Hero.

Too much speedy. You could stuff your deck and abuse him and Lemuel to no end.

Yet another potential */1 White Hero. NTY.

Pre-block enhancement. NTY.

I like the idea, but again I'd like it better if it were on a Red Warrior who bands to a WC Hero (CBN band to TSA would be nice).

Again, I like it but I'd like it better on a Warrior.

I love this card too, but once again, it seems like the ability would do better to make a Captured Character a WC Red Hero.


There are some good cards in concept here, but I think the motif renders them silly. It also seems a bit strange for someone...in that condition to be doing all this banding.

This was sort've though of to supplement the Daniel Heroes theme (thus the whiteness). The abilities were pretty much off the top of my head as there's not much info given except that they were Eunuchs,thus meaning they were guards. The numbers were based off of there being 7 of them in the same verse. (their numbers alternate from 1/7 to 7/1)

Also for the banding thing it was sort've playing off of the Daniel Hero banding abilities (since i was trying to expand off of them)

So are they genderless?
hahaha very funny :P
