Title: Devouring Birds
Post by: Jeremystair on June 15, 2017, 10:04:43 PM: How does the last part of his ability work? It says if blocking you may return this card to hand after battle. So if he is never negated can he return to hand everytime after battle? What if he's under deck or removed from the game or discarded by the numbers does he still come back to hand after battle?

TEC has some very nice Crimson EEs that don't have "conditions" such as "If used by a Babylonian", etc. Great Image, Dream, and Belshazzar's Banquet are always good too.

Hypocrisy, Christian Suing Another, Deceitful Sin, 2 with stats 0/6 from Early Church but the names escaped me right now, Scattered, Invoking Terror, Nico's Teaching, Deceit of Sapphira and Neb's Pride. I'm sure I missed a few.

That depends on your perspective and what defense you're playing it with. JT works very well with a Canaanite defense that I run with an idol in the mix. And I'm sure it would work well with a Philly defense too.
