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 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.

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.

Add CBI. Make it monster.

"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?

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

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

I already referenced it, which I know you saw. You lose.
