<3 Ozymandias

Most imposing goes a little past just being strong (like your other poll) and also includes the intimidation due to the power of a person's position.

For good OT, I'd go with Moses.  He was everything (ie. infinite identifiers in Redemption).  The Pharaoh and his magicians were intimidated.  Even his own followers, the Israelites, were afraid of him and made him cover his face.  When he lifted his staff, rivers stopped, battles were won, and water came from rocks.  When he prayed, even angels stopped killing people, or the ground opened up and swallowed people.  That man was imposing.

For good NT, I'd have to go with Jesus.  I know that's cheating, but it's just true.

For evil OT, I'd have to go with Nebucadnezzar.  He was the leader of the most dominating empire of the OT times.  And on top of having that power, he was also a bit spontaneous (building statues, throwing people in furnaces, etc.) and for a time he was also insane.

For evil NT, I'd have to go with King Herod.  He wiped out everyone's male toddlers and younger in a whole area just to get 1 baby.  And he raised his son to grow up to be the kind of guy that cuts people's heads off for a dance, and steals his brother's wife.

–adjective
very impressive because of great size, stately appearance, dignity, elegance, etc.: Notre Dame, Rheims, and other imposing cathedrals of France.

big and scary

Good OT: Moses
Good NT: Moses
Evil OT: Leviathan
Evil NT: Red Dragon

Don't forget Elhanan...could he make a comeback in playability with Goliath set to debut when Regionals roll around???

But he's a giant-slayer, so "Big G" doesn't force him to withdraw...

I find Que very imposing if I see him in a territory. All those cards with "Mist" in the title........it makes me shudder.

LOL! me too. I agree that Paul should get N.T. talking about a guy that was known for killing Christians one day and then telling lame people to get up and walk the next. not to mention write almost all the N.T. itself! If one considers Moses an N.T character for popping up once (possible twice) then he get is because he definitely has the O.T. for Evil... Leviathan is scary (that whole part of Job), but was he really imposingly evil? like how much of God's work did he hinder of his own free accord? another one could be Jezzebel, but the others mentioned are great! N.T. I'd go with Red Dragon and other apocalyptic characters. King Herod was a beast too.
