Awesome!
-
Cool stuff in there, though the image isn't coming out too well for me.
Some comments:
-> Image of Jealousy was not be high on my list of "I bet this will be reprinted"
-> Neither was Attending Angel
-> It makes sense that everyone gets a Territory-Class Enh, and the decision to give one to Herod and company surprised me - there's a theme you don't see too much
-> Truthfulness of Nathan came out in 1995. In 2009 we finally see Nathan himself! Still waiting on Malchiah and Tammuz...
-> Are there any CBN fortresses? I can't think of any. However, identifiers aren't negated. I wonder how long before Tabernacle + Image of Jealousy + Solomon's Temple for unlimited-length triple artifact glee.
-
I get the feeling I am Grace will be very popular after this set.
-
The icon in the lower left appears to be...a treasure chest?! Well that doesn't make any sense! ;)

I wish the pic was larger :'(
-
Tim the exact same thoughts were crossing my mind, except I could care less about Tammuz
-
It's way too grainy to see what's in the corner next to the treasure chest. Any ideas?

I honestly don't think that triple artifacts is going to be too much of a problem. Evil enhancements are very easily discarded; we already have multitudes of ways to get rid of them. Now people will just have to start using them. Besides, there isn't any game breaking combo of 3 artifacts, and I personally would rather negate my opponent's Forts than use 3 artifacts at once and have to use 2 temples to put them in.
-
Additionally, there is an evil multi-color territory class enhancement that can only be used by a Herod.
Hmm... I wonder how that card could be useful in booster? Unless... hmm...

RR, you have been challenged.

Unlike the tins, I don't think there's a compelling reason for the new cards to be particularly useful in booster draft.

I think thats just the white/gray border causing you problems there Tim, I don't think theres anything there.

The Garden Tomb is CBN in part.

The Garden Tomb is CBN in part.
I'm missing something. According to the REG, the ability is:
"If opponent has a redeemed Lost Soul, then Salome, Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Peter, John, and Mary the mother of James ignore all evil brigades that do not have at least two Characters in play."
The only identifier is "EMPTY!" What's CBN about that?
-
Sorry, I was thinking of Mary, MOJ's SA which is CBN if TGT is out.
-
Okay, what a relief. If TGT was CBN, then TIM would be MAD.

It looks kinda like a number. fifty-something?
-
ah, each card is numbered 1-60 to make it easy to tell what you have and don't have.

I prefer lone green prophet+...er, well you get the idea. :)
-
woot, Nathan!
speaking of card ideas.....

That art is going to become very familiar. ;)

How do we access that section of the board? I never knew it existed.
-
At least on my skin, there's an ARTICLES button on the top next to LOGOUT, MEMBERS, CALENDAR, etc.
-
Several skins don't show it because they use custom buttons instead of generating them automatically. I am pondering the best solution for this, but it may be to blow up any themes that use custom buttons.

I can't stand anything but the default theme.

Please don't boldly go where no man wants you to. ;)
-
For some personal geeking out:
-> It looks like the scripture reference is finally back in bold, just the way I like it.
-> The identifiers are in Title Case rather than ALL CAPS.
-> I still have no idea what that "territory class" symbol is supposed to look like.
-
Garden Tomb and Z-Temple are toast. That is good for the first and bad for the second. *cry*
-
Z's Temple toast? Maybe for a while, but don't you use Scapegoat? Or Altar of Burnt Offering?

Ahhh, I use Metallistic...

No I still disagree with that lol (even though all the playtesters disagree with me :P)
-
I don't see it being used either... I'd rather throw in some counter-territory class. ;) Or I'd just use A-bom.
-
Hehehehe..... thats all I'll say.
-
+1. At least no one's got any Godly Insight to really know what the set is. ::)
-
Eeek! This thread was leaking like a thorn-filled bicycle tire.
ROSES to the rescue! Wait...ROSES, thorns... nvrmnd

Best. Pun. Ever.
HINT: Goldy Insight isn't a card. I was seeing if someone would think it was. 8)
-
How do yooooooou know it's not one.... hmmmm? ;)
-
AAAH! Please, save the leaky injokes for PMs between playtesters. :)
There players here who don't know the cards and we'd like to keep it that way. :)
