I think Lot, even though 2/2, is a little UP (especially if "Abraham" does not include Abram). The other two are sweet.
-
Lot is a judge how?
-
He was a Judge of Sodom. I'm allowed to redraw Redemption definitions of "Judge" for my fun cards ;)
-
I actually was unaware he was a Judge of Sodom. Now I am off to read more Genesis.
-
I don't know if it's plainly in the text without historical context, but the verse I used on Lot is one of the main proofs that he was a Judge. The position of sitting in the gate of the city belonged to the Judges in cities in that area at that time.

As you can tell, I've been bored today.
-
That is a scary card. I like.....
-
Deborah would need to negate play abilities with her ability cbn to stop prebattle madness (Samson's Sacrifice mainly).
-
She negates Hidden treasures already.
-
Holy of Holies would prevent her ability allowing Hidden Treasure to work. Just making her ability cbn would fix it.
-
I don't want every Prophet ever made to have a CBN ability. She negates HT and if you've set up Temple+HoH+Hidden Treasures and your opponent doesn't have DoN, go ahead and play pre-battle.
-
If you get that out now a days your opponent has already won or he/she has already set up an almost unsurpassable defense.
-
Besides, pre-battle SS is already quite possible with Agur. Pulling off this combo would be no more effective.

Well, sort of. You need to be able to place the SS, then have the placement not get negated, then have the Hero it is placed on survive until he can attack. As someone who has tried it (in T2 even), it's not easy to do. What I can tell you is that it would be far easier to place IoJ or DS on Deb, or put a Canaanite in Tower, and then wipe out an opponent's defense. It would be the ultimate Hero-lite strategy.
-
IoJ and DS both specify "opponent's," don't they? As for Canaanites...well, then you're using Canaanites. Not exactly what comes to mind when I think of Herolite defenses.
-
Nope.
Destructive Sin (TP)
Type: Evil Enh. • Brigade: Orange • Ability: None • Class: Territory • Special Ability: Place on a Hero. While this card remains, negate special abilities on that Hero and its owner's good Fortresses and Covenants. • Identifiers: None • Verse: Ecclesiastes 9:18 • Availability: Thesaurus ex Preteritus booster packs ()
Image of Jealousy (TP)
Type: Evil Enh. • Brigade: Brown • Ability: 1 / 3 • Class: Territory • Special Ability: Place on a Hero or good Fortress. While this card remains, negate the special ability on that card. • Identifiers: OT, False Religious Practice • Verse: Ezekiel 8:5 • Availability: Thesaurus ex Preteritus booster packs ()
I guess that's true about that Canaanites, especially because of the all Canaanite requirement of Tower. But IoJ/DS are still very viable.
-
Even so, I don't particularly mind. There are currently no viable herolite strategies, and this one is no more easy to set up than WS.
