Title: To the 3rd and 4th Generation
Post by: stefferweffer on March 17, 2011, 03:19:52 PM: "To the third and fourth generation"
3/4 Brown/Orange Curse

Discard to set aside X of opponent's heroes (maximum of 4), where X is equal to the number of Evil Characters in opponent's territory. Treat as a disease. These heroes remain set aside for the remainder of the game, but one may return for each evil character in opponent's territory who converts to a hero. Cannot be negated.

Exodus 20:5 "You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me,"

For those wondering, please understand I was being a little sarcastic with this card idea and trying to make a spiritual point. I do not believe, as other do, that what is suggested on this card actually happens - faithful people (and even children) being afflicted by God and not healed, as a result of what their wicked ancestors have done.
