Since you're on a roll, go ahead and make the unmade archangels.

Is the search of the draw pile tied to John being in play, or only the search of the discard pile?

well... it would be overpowered if john isn't in play, so it is with john either way

Then it should be "If John is in play, search..." rather than the way it is currently.

I'm not sure it's really overpowered if only the discard pile search is tied to John, either.

Uriel and St. Raphael.

Tobit 3:17 (KJV) And Raphael was sent to heal them both, that is, to scale away the whiteness of Tobit's eyes, and to give Sara the daughter of Raguel for a wife to Tobias the son of Tobit; and to bind Asmodeus the evil spirit; because she belonged to Tobias by right of inheritance. The selfsame time came Tobit home, and entered into his house, and Sara the daughter of Raguel came down from her upper chamber.

Early Bible commentators list St. Raphael as the angel in John 5:4 "For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had."

Uriel is unmentioned in canonical scripture, but has been carried down through tradition and verified after the rediscovery of the book of Enoch.

Enoch lists there are three other archangels Sealtiel, Jegudiel, and Barachiel.


This would make sense when Revelation lists seven angels; however, Christian tradition has long revolved around the concept of four archangels, representing the seasons, the elements, and giving Jung help for his archetypes. A psychologist friend of mine noted that four archangels plus the trinity equals seven. A modern adaption for the elements would be the four forces.

hmmm quite interesting... I would have to read the whole acawhatever to be able to understand this however, and revelation already has plenty of topcis for angels.

A note on the angel template.

There is space on the top for a two-line title. However, if you only need one line, cover up the empty space with the art. Otherwise it looks awkward. Same goes for the demon and priest templates.
