That image doesn't work. Is it in a private folder?
I don't like Pol's idea of printing four Davids, however, this David definitely needs to be stripped down. I would take out the ability to hold David's Harp and make him negate play abilities (without making him CBN [which is overpowered], AoCp abuse with HT would be ridiculous).
Edit: Wings of Music, I am trying to get away from that online tag, and I figure enough people know me in real life here that I can just use my real name.
Extremely OP. Any four-color David will by necessity be OP unless he's loaded up with CBN SA's that hurt him.
That's a rather flimsy reason. King Saul isn't two people and we have two of him.
We already have a way to play AoCp pre-block with ET. If you want to go to the extra effort to negate David's restrict ability so you can use Hidden Treasures to play AoCp I don't find that OP.
The two things that would scare me about printing this card without thorough testing are the restrict ability and the band ability. The restrict could potentially shut down an entire NT based defense. The band ability by itself isn't OP, but in combination with the other abilities and the FBTNb chain it's probably over the top.
Sepjazz - we never CBN part of an ability. It's the whole thing or not at all.
I think that if they sere to make this card they would have to put it in a set with OP EC's, or els you would just put this card in your deck and win.
David:
(identifiers: all of David's identifiers, holds Davids Harp)
discard a philistine. ignore evil royalty. negate fortresses. restrict players from using NT enhancements. if davids harp is in play, negate demons. may band to a OT warrior-class hero. return to territory if blocked by a female
I like this ability because it makes him less OP by negating the fortresses that help him, not allowing him to use NT enhancements, and his ability is fully negateable. returning to territory if blocked by a female comes from the whole Bathsheba thing. it makes him even less OP and fits Biblically.
And in terms of fearing preblock ignore, insted of the NT thing you could say Restrice players from playing enhancements when no opposing character is in battle. (like the Covenent with death, which also stops David!!
The choose one route may bring him out of the realm of broken, although I still argue he'd be OP.
I see David has joined Hur in the random foot club. :P

The foot on Hur's artwork actually belongs to Moses, not Hur... ::)
I have to say that I love this flip version, it's super awesome. The only thing that bugs me is that it's perfect for a Sam deck, and I'm not sure I like helping out Sam even more...
But it would give Sam another version of David to search for and draw 2 off of.I see David has joined Hur in the random foot club. :P

It isn't quite perfect for sam, it is very close though. It is not "PERFECT" for sam because king david is 2 samuel, And only bands to 2 Samuel, Sam is 1Samuel and bands to only 1 samuel.
Additionally, there are plenty of awesome ways to get Dave into battle without having Sam banding to him directly. The other abilities are awesome too, like negating KoT and stopping Goliath cold.And more FBTNB combos.
Yeah but having this David + Green David would be better than Red + Green, so there is still improvement to Sam decks.
But it would give Sam another version of David to search for and draw 2 off of.
Apparently in different parts of the country it's been ruled differently as to whether or not Samuel can search for David/Saul (and draw 2) if a copy is already in play. The elders have been discussing this and you can expect an official ruling soon, probably within a week. But to my dismay I do not believe you will be allowed to create duplicates with Samuel.
Starter decks.Where's the proof that it will be a starter deck?

I hope it will at least be useful this time.
Need a boost? They have one of the most unkillable combos out there and plenty of nasty Enhancements to boot! I don't think they need a boost. Saducess are the ones that need more of a boost in black because they still are too slow and don't work well at all.
I'm not sure why Phillys do. They have a lot of really good cards. Cannanites need a boost because they're new, but Saducees are still lacking even with the Disciples stuff.
Romans, Heretics, Persians, Demons, & Assyrians need some good updates.
I fear that that would be bad for PR, since many soccer moms would not be particularly thrilled to find that little Johnny has been playing with demons and loving it.

If that were the case, then there is no reason to further hide the fact the game has demons in it by not putting them in starter decks.
The soccer mom is just as likely to be upset that her little whats-his-face is playing with any evil people and loving it though. But he will soon come to the darkside of the stand alone meta defense anyway so no big
Uzzah's not even really evil in the Bible.
And Am Slave wasn't really evil either, so that's about a third of the meta defense that isn't really evil.
Plus no one from MN would ever buy the starter.Good, that means more for us. ;)
You guys should really take this to it's own thread since you've hijacked like half of Gabe's already, lol.

That starter deck will contain each of the brigades that were not used on a card in the 2011 release.Interesting. So Teal gets its spotlight in a starter deck, very nice. Also, it looks like the stigma of Orange in starter decks didn't stop you guys. :P
