Given Over to Sin
3/5 Brown Curse
"During battle resolution, you may Remove this card from the Game to return an Evil Enhancement that would be Discarded to owner's hand."

It needs a second ability so there is a want to NOT remove it IMO.

+ 1 Yeah add something like "If an evil enhancement is to be removed from the game discard it instead."

If you think about it more closely, it's quite powerful enough as-is.

they don't make evil cards add up past the number 6 for the */* abilities. So maybe make it 1/5?

Might wanna amend that statement, ninja, there're plenty of Evil Cards that have */* abilities that tally over 6.

Also, I agree it'd be useful if it had a reason not to become an instant 1-use curse.

I like the idea. However, I think it needs additional limits; it seems a little OP. Maybe instead of returning to hand, it could shuffle into deck or something.

Sorry... I meant since apostles... I think. Look at all patriarchs and above... you will find VERY few, if any, evil enhancements that */* abilities are over 6.  :)

Yes, and the same is true for GE's with the number 7, with the exception of rare things like Tithe.

I made the numbers add up to 8 because the card is about sin being renewed over and over again. It's not really that important to the card, though. The SA is the point.

Hey, maybe you could make it like 0/-6. :D
