Is it just me, or does God look like a giant druidic elf. ;)

Agreed. I originally misread the title as "I AM WHAT I AM" and was expecting this...

My mind is a scary thing at times. ;)

Haha, well in my defense that is an actual art piece depicting God. The hebrew writing on his arm, if I understand correctly, says King of Kings.

Post by: YourMathTeacher on July 22, 2014, 10:23:03 AM: I would even go a step further (if you want this to become a staple dominant) and add another ability:

You may put this card in play, or add it to battle if it is a hero or site.

My biggest frustration with search cards is that your opponent can Mayhem, Discard from Hand, etc. before you ever get to play the card you just searched for.

Or maybe say "this card takes immediate effect"

I worded it that way specifically to allow you to add your own hero to battle after a "choose the hero" or in a banding situation where you lost a necessary piece of the band.

I'm also not sure whether you could add a new hero after a card like Deceit of Sapphira, or if the battle would have immediately ended after the other hero(es) were discarded.

That would be cool!
