No King but Caesar
0/0 Grey Evil Enhancement, TC

~John 19:15

Water into Wine

I like the idea of Water to Wine, but I feel it could be a bit too powerful with ET recursion.

Holy cow those are some cool-looking cards! The SA is hard to read, but otherwise, dang!

Yeah, those are tight. But discarding a good dominant, when you already have Pontius Pilate, is just way too good. I know you want to take away emphasis on speed decks who just get out dominants, but this is way too powerful of a counter.

I disagree entirely. It's powerful enough, not OP.

I really felt like these were great cards and wanted to see them come alive...

I especially liked No King but Ceasar and i think that comes through in the finished work. I have trouble getting the words to show up better because i have no shading behind the letters. I used Paint for these, i wish i had a better program to work with. The pic for Water to Wine is a good one but it was hard to show it with the special ability. The cards needs more somehow.

Speaking of coming to life, check this out...

Pol, discarding son of god isn't overpowered?

The problem isn't that it can discard a good dominant, its that it can discard a good dominant every block. If it was limited use it'd be better.

I like it, Dominants need to be weakened.  You can always play them before battle if you would like, or remove the card pre battle, or negate it ala Covenant with Noah.

I think dominants have been weakened eneough. You already have to wait for a special ability to activate before playing one. Then again...

Who's going to attack with a good dominant in hand and that sitting in the territory? It stops Grapes, and can get around SoG + NJ. I really like it. They can Soggy, AotL, Guardian, Harvest Time and Glory of the Lord before battle if need be. Harvest Time is iffy, since they could Soggy the shuffler and you'd need it, but that's not a bad thing
