I'm wondering what cards people think are the least likely candidates for a reprint in any way. My guesses:
The Warriors "Mask" cards (Mask of Fear, Mask of Arrogance, etc.). Seemingly promotional material for a video game, they really stand out as strange in the game, maybe stranger than some Angel Wars stuff.
Angel Wars characters (Kira, Swift, Que, etc.). While it's nice that the game has some NT female angels, I think the non-Biblical nature of these is just too out there
Fruits of the Spirit (Temperance, Goodness, etc.). Most Redemption cards from the last several sets have been about very specific moments, items, and people. These generic things don't really fit the modern card style.
Bad old cards made playable by newer cards (Gideon, Babylon, etc.). Angel Under the Oak is already crazy; what if it protected an already self-reliant Gideon? Or Que, with a decent Demonic Mist!
Benefiting from Troubles. I mean, why would they? If it's anything close to the original ability, it doesn't seem worth printing. If it's not close to that, why would they go back for that obscure, sort of generic Apostles card?
First Figs. It's lame.
Not on my list: Whore of Babylon (already reprinted into Babylon the Great, otherwise it'd be here), cards with questionable art like Delilah that could easily be reprinted with new art, hated cards like Mayhem that may be reprinted to be tamer
-
I have a strange feeling the 2010 John Earley Custom Nats card will never be reprinted.

LIES! (I only say this because I won a battle at booster draft last weekend just by playing this card, and I found it humorous)

As someone who's been playing since First Figs was a new card, I can safely say that's the first nice thing I've ever heard about First Figs. It may, in fact, be the first thing I've ever heard someone else say about First Figs ever.

I'd highly question your thoughts on AW being unbiblical, it's just mostly a waste of time to reprint them, and the cards themselves are not easy to find in the Bible (if at all)
I'd like it of they'd maybe reprint them, but I'd be more interested in a Revelation theme first (among other themes)

I'd highly question why you say AW is biblical.
-
The idea of Angels helping themselves and not just Humans is biblical, albeit the actual cards in the set aren't.

That wasn't what I was getting at. If you are gonna make a broad generalizing statement, then prepare to defend a broad generalizing statement.

I think he did defend his statement, it's just that his original statement wasn't expounded on well enough to avoid being misunderstood (I originally misunderstood his point, and I agree that Angel Wars in itself is not at all Biblical).
-
Yes, that is what I meant.
-
We all learned a lesson here.... Always expound your statements! :) But yeah, I was under the impression he meant the whole thing. And when taken as a whole AW is very unbiblical.
-
Yes, I was thinking of the first post meant that Angels playing alone was unbiblical, which is false. But AW set is unbiblical because it was based more on the movie then the Bible.
