Title: Minor Prophets tin
Post by: Master Q on March 09, 2017, 12:23:22 PM
At last, a cohesive tin's worth of cards. I updated some of them since inception to match the Watchman's introduction of the term major and minor prophets and the banish term. There are more notes at the bottom.
Amos
Isaiah (obviously not a minor prophet)
Zephaniah
House of Prayer
Prophesying Doom
Lost Soul (Disaster)
Paintings of Abominations
The Flying Scroll
Prophets of Samaria
False Prophets
False Peace
The idea with this is that you'd randomly get one of the UR bordered ones and not the other. About half of these were made recently to fill out the tin. I seriously considered a few of these for my created card idea at one point. Individual notes:
Prophesying Doom - I really love the art for this, but I'm sure it's not public domain. :P Also not sure if the identifier ability would actually work, but it's a neat concept.
Paintings o' Abominations - Invert is something I have to credit to Browa, I only recently thought it would be a good fit. Now, knowing more about the new set, I would also add the Reserve as a location it can bring Idols or curses from, and possibly have it exchange for the card it gets.
The Flying Scroll - This is a pretty scary card and the ability was pretty long at first, hence why I didn't go with an idea similar to it as my created card. Though the verse fits pretty on spot with the ability (especially now that Banish is a thing), it's such a hard counter that I could see it as easily being too much. Still, I love it. 8)
False Peace - Not sure if the TC makes this too strong. It isn't CB-anything, it reveals what you get, and somewhat punishes you for getting a good card. If Flying Scroll existed at the same time as this, I could see it being more balanced, as you wouldn't likely use it to search for Mayhem or a neutral card.
It was fun sharing all of these. As always, feedback is appreciated! I'll leave you alone now for awhile. ;)

I really like these, and have no suggestions or just minor suggestions on most.
I will say that False Peace is, in my opinion, OP. Maybe Restrict the holder from attacking on their next turn (which is thematic with "peace" in one sense)? Still not sure if that is good enough. It's in the same brigade as Hypocrisy, so it automatically makes the Hypocrisy/Mayhem combo easier. Maybe if it targeted OT cards? Not sure.
Probably the best thing is to first drop the TC. Playing it TC not only gives it "Dom like" power, but it gets it in discard faster where it can be targeted by False Priests for a second play.

I could see False Peace being limited to searching for an O.T. card, and changing the draw limit from 3 to 2 and shuffle to underdeck. I think that would make the TC not as overwhelming. Something else I just thought of- perhaps expand the search to include Reserve (along with the limitation on only O.T.)? Then it would look like:
"Search deck or Reserve for an O.T. card and reveal it. If it's an evil card, you may discard it to draw X (limit 2). If it's a good card, underdeck a good card from hand. If it's a neutral card, reveal a hand."

Yeah I switched to just using Imgur all the time because Photobucket is terrible.
