I originally put these in my random ideas thread, but that got kind of cluttered, so I just I thought I'd just start a new topic. 

Zerubbabel 12/8 White Hero
SA: Search deck for a good card with Nehemiah or Ezra reference and add it to hand or battle. May band to Haggai. May use teal enhancements.

Remember the Former Things 2/3 Green/Gold GC TC
SA: Search discard pile for an OT Covenant or Deck OT enhancement and add to hand or battle.


Humility of Moses 3/1 Gold GE TC   
 If used by an OT Hero, interrupt all sites and search opponents draw pile for a lost soul and put in their land of bondage. If played during battle phase, you may band an OT human hero into battle. Cannot be negated.


Othniel 11/6 Gold WC Hero
Immune to Babylonians (except Kings). Negate evil fortresses and return all your captured heroes to your territory. 
Identifiers: Judge, Fought Earthly Battle
Judges 3:9-10

Coat of Mail 0/0 red GE
Class: TC
SA: Place on your Red OT warrior class hero for three turns: that hero is immune to Evil weapons and Warrior Class Evil characters.

Buckler 0/2 Red GE
Class: Weapon 
SA: Bearer is protected from the first evil enhancement played this battle. Discard this card after three turns.

Bow and Arrow 2/1 Red GE
Class: TC
SA: If used by a red OT warrior class male human, discard a male human warrior class evil character in a territory. 

Lot's Wife 3/3 Black EC
SA: Evil characters ignore angels with toughness less than */7. May band to an OT evil character. Cannot be negated by an evil card.
Identifiers: Canaanite

Sodom Blue site
SA: Holds up to X lost souls (limit 5).
Identifiers: Canaanite, X=number of your Canaanites in play.

Gomorrah Blue site
SA: When blocking with a Canaanite, you may play the first enhancement.
Identifiers: Canaanite

Patience 0/0 Green GE
Class: TC
SA: Place this card in your territory. After three turns, you may search deck or discard pile for a good card (except a dominant) and add it to hand.

Peace 0/0 Yellow GE
Class: TC
SA: Place this card in your territory for two turns: During this time, no player may make a rescue attempt and draw abilities are negated.

Gomorrah might be a bit op when you get Wrath, Gib Trick and Stone of Thebes played on you before you can play any thing.

True so maybe I could make a 'May be used twice per game.' clause?

Zerubbabel was a promo from 2009 or 2010

I know, but I don't think he is really used much because he has a mediocre Special ability and doesnt fit with theme

He still kind of does. He will likely never get initiative, can be negated, and doesn't have the best ability.

I think it would be quite useful. He can search out some great cards in the Z-temple theme, plus band to Haggai, and use all the teal enhancements (Zeal, ect.). Actually, I made him CBN at first but I thought that was to powerful. Do you think I should change it back to CBN?

If you're gonna let him use teal enhancements you may as well just make him half teal.

Well he wasn't a Priest...

And Damsel with Spirit of Divination isn't a demon yet she's half orange.

I think the card is about a girl and a demon, so it's half pg and half orange.

If that was the case, then wouldn't she be human and demon?

You don't have to take my suggestion if you don't want to, lol.

Damsel is a Human magician (PG) possessed by a Demon (Orange). Unless you can make the argument that Zebu's job description was "always giving Priests a piggy-back ride," there's no justification for making him Teal

Then I really don't think he should be able to use teal enhancements at all.

If I remove the use teal enhancements ability, then he is exactly the same as the promo, except the banding to Haggai. I don't see another way to make him useful

I like Patience (though you could make the wait longer and the payoff bigger). However, I'm not sure how Peace would be used. . . what did you have in mind there?

To help out heroless & defense heavy decks. Basically another B-Shroud that also stop speed.

wow they're really neat. 

Strength is so OP. Cuz, you know, everyone wins by the numbers these days.

Sodom & Gommorah don't fit their stories.

Zeb is good as he is w/o any bonus and why does Lot's Wife ignore Angels? That doesn't make sense.

Lot's Wife Ignores angels because she looked back at Sodom, contrary to what the angels told her to do.

Genesis 19


   17And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.


   26But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
