Zaccheus = Matthias?

" According to Clement of Alexandria, in his book Stromata, Zaccheus was surnamed Matthias by the apostles, and took the place of Judas Iscariot after Jesus's ascension. The later Apostolic Constitutions identify "Zacchaeus the Publican" as the first bishop of Caesarea "

Anyone else heard this? I never have. It makes some sense, because this guy Matthias just appears from no where.
He was the first "warrant officer"  ;D 
The stories conflict, but if he was Zaccheus, the important question is: How will this affect game play!?
We have to have our priorities, after all.

Side note: When you get to Heaven, won't it be fun to talk to people and say "I had your card. You rock!" ?

Oh, come on! I'll have a resurrection body /glorified version of my favorite deck that will appear in my hand when I need it! Also, My Lord and Savior will, in love, set the record straight to all for all eternity: "Attention everybody; Metalpsalm invented Heroless"

Yeah, but will you look at the deck and wonder why many cards are missing?   ;)

Perfect, we can only play speed in Heaven.  Jesus coming back = death of MASK.

To be on-topic for once, this wouldn't really change much for game-play currently. Unless people are going to start mixing Gold and Green to get Ordained as a Disciple on Luke or Zacchaeus.
I am not talking about T2 unless I am explicitly talking about T2. Also Mayhem is fine now somehow!

Hate to blow your bubble,  but luke isn't an apostle...

Well, I'm just saying there's a Matthias card, and they might be the same guy... but it's so in dispute, I'm being rediculous for fun

death of MASK.
Ouch.  Thank you for bringing up such a painful memory.  Now why don't you give me a paper cut and pour lemon juice on it.
