This is super cool art. I love how is crosses into the gold.

As far as ability goes I think it is underwhelming. The benfit to the rescuer may be greater then to the blocker in many circumstances. Also having the Exodus reference makes him tough to use since he doesn't fit the Gen/Egyptian defensive theme.

This would be the same unique character as The Hard-Hearted Pharaoh who fits better in the Exodus Egyptian theme.

Thanks for the feedback everyone! How about:

-Immune to Angels and O.T. human Heroes. May band to a Demon. Cannot be negated.-

What about this "Immune to O.T. Heros. May band to a Demon. Protected from opponents dominants. Cannot be negated by a card from the Pentateuch."

Then he'd still be negated by KoT... ;)

Immune isn't used anymore, it Protected now. And why not just make it CBN?

CBN is way to good. CBN by evil is much better!

Umm the point of this post is what?

Let's think about this for a second, CBN immunity (or protection) against over 50% of the hero's in the game?  It's not even like wives where your opponent has to draw or you have to force them to draw, you just drop him down and boom . . . I blocked you.

That would be ridiculously broken. OP would be the a massive understatement.

CBN by evil is cool, it would allow him to band to orange or gold KoT or orange or brown foul Spirit without negating himself.

You want an EC that can CBN block 75% of the playable heroes in Redemption?  Including the entire brigade of Silver?

For what it's worth, I don't like this Pharaoh even if it is merely "CBN by evil".  I'm not a fan of ECs that basically win the battle if no GE is played (Red Dragon I'm looking at you...).

+1 Winstate ECs are totally reasonable, especially considering Edict is still a thing!
