Updated the abilities on these. What are your thoughts on these card ideas?
Due to Isaiah providing CBN protection to purple kings in the Throne decks currently dominating the meta we need more regardless of protect options for Defense.Protection is nice for sure but I'm not certain this is a key cog in the Throne offense. Yes, it makes it harder to stop the whole thing but I think the bigger issue with stopping the Throne offense is that it is so easy to get 7ish A+ Heroes into battle all at the same time. I feel like the Sam ban was good but at the same time LoC gave us Outcasts' Refuge, Jehoshaphat, and The Conqueror. Even with that said I think your ideas are good and regardless of protect could definitely help against Throne offenses.
-maybe add a way to activate it somewhere other than an artifact pile (on Judas, make a fort of his gallows from Acts 1, etc)

Here ya go. ;)
I agree with Bobbert though that it probably shouldn't be the "all berries" version of Ephod. I think he's right that it probably wouldn't fit Redemption's definition of an idol and it is N.T. so it wouldn't have the characteristics that make Ephod worthwhile, although in the future if N.T. artifacts get similar synergy cards to O.T. arts and idols then 30 Pieces becomes a much better card for the same effect. Perhaps something like "Evil Enhancements used by N.T. humans are regardless of protect abilities". That way N.T. themes get a boost and it works for your opponent as well. Maybe that tames it too much since N.T. themes will likely be more common after the release of GoC, but something along those lines might be better.

So was the reference to "GoC" a spoiler to a new set that I haven't heard about yet???? Glory of Christ????

Honestly don't remember if/where any announcements about it have been posted, so for now I guess just glean what you can from Gabe's non-finalized spoiler from a few days ago in this thread (https://www.cactusforums.com/new-card-ideas/new-dominant-idea-crowd's-choice/25/#lastPost).
