What's wrong with a female version?

Well, you didn't change any other aspects of the other cards, so I assumed you were making them exactly the same.

Attending Angel looks way awesome though. I'd play it just for that fact alone.

These look really amazing. I hope you find time to make all 60.

I wonder if there's a way to integrate a place for artist credit into your design?
Have you visited the Land of Redemption today?

Thanks! I tried a while ago to fit it under the scroll but that didn't work very well. I just updated my template with the artist credit at the bottom of the scroll.

Another thing I've noticed:

Are you picking card art based on the title alone, or the scripture the card is based on? You said in the original thread that you wanted to make this feel more like a Biblical game, and I don't think Daniel 11:31 was talking about some weird mutant creature.

I don't know what Daniel was describing, but I don't think he describes what it looks like. It is "abominable" and that is all we know. I think it's fine to take artistic license in the artwork, especially since it is hard to find a quality piece of art depicting a horrible statue standing in a hebrew temple. The only card above that really isn't scripturally accurate at all is Consuming Fire. The story is really about an angel who points his staff at a pile of food and it bursts into flames. As you know, THAT is pretty hard to find in a quality piece of art, so I chose a picture of angels dealing with fire. Obviously if Cactus adopted this template, they wouldn't choose the same art that I would, but that's what makes these fun cards.

Fair enough, just be careful not to stay too far into fantasy imagery if you want to keep the Biblical idea of the game intact.

Yeah, some cards are nearly impossible to find good artwork for. Though regarding consuming fire, Cactus managed to find some decent artwork that depicted the event:

Two quick things

1) Salome's ability has a hyphenated word. While this isn't a problem, it's something you should try to avoid if you can. (Under Paragraph tools, uncheck hyphenate)
2) This may just be me, but there's a tiny black dot in your paper texture to the left of the third line of special abilities. The way it's positioned, my brain keeps seeing it as a period. That'd be easy to clone-stamp out.

By the way, about half of the "Weapon-Class" symbol on Philistine Chariot and Horses is cut out by a horse head...

I think the overlap of the art over the symbol is cool!

Overcome by Philistines is not weapon class.... it'd be rather overpowered if it was.
