Well, this is my first attempt at creating a card, which happens to be an updated version of Prophets of Baal. I wanted to make the ability interract with Jezebel's. From reading 1 Kings 18 and knowing the brutality of Baal worshiping rituals, eg. the sacrifice of children in Jeremiah 19:5, and also this lovely excerpt from 1 Kings 18:28, 'So they shouted louder and slashed themselves with swords and spears, as was their custom, until their blood flowed.', I thought an ability that centred around discard to be appropriate.
I look forward to any comments, suggestions or feedback about this concept. Thanks!

I like it- nice job! Definitely a card needing a reprint

Like it very much! The ability seems pretty balanced.

I'd have it draw X maximum 3 where X is something like yours evil priests and curses to keep in step with similar cards.

Yeah, I was trying to work a draw x into it, but i couldn't decide on what 'x' would be. How about x= number of your evil priests (limit 3) or the number of animals in your discard pile (limit 3)?

Here's the updated version. Not much has changed except the draw X instead of draw 3.

Love it! You can just say evil priests, though, the "in play" is superfluous in 90% of situations.

Cool, thanks. I'm glad you like it. Thanks for the tip, I will remember that for future concept cards 8)
