Mine is the prophet one that reveals 3 cards from your opponent's hand.
Not sure if this is in the correct area.
-
I like the Musician one that lets you grab a Hymn from the discard pile, Makes me want to sing "Gloria, Gloria, Hallelujah"

Same
-
the Use all convert GEs one.
-
I like the musician one. but I'm not sure if I'd do that or band to FSP. I'd kinda want myself to be USEFUL and I'm really not sure about the hymns thing.
-
Yeah... can we get an official list of Hymns so we know exactly what we can grab?
-
Sure, these are all the Hymns that I'm aware of:

Expect some in the new set

Is the custom Red hero going to be WC?

Is that really the ability? Yikes. I'm betting this will be the most popular one once people see the Hymns.
-
I assume the hymns are also musical, correct? If so, I'm not that excited about the musician ability, since Ethan can do that even better.
-
So no cards currently printed are hymns?
-

I can't think of any that would be...since most of the currently existing musical enhancements are just titled something generic like "singing" or something. :P
-

Well alot of card currently printed are hers. ::)

Shouldn't all of psalms be hymns?

This thread has been won.

No. But there is a spoiler leaked by Bryon (with help from uthminister) about three of the hymns that are being made.
-

Repeating my question since I didn't get an answer.
-
Yes
-
I concur on the hymn ability. That's what will be on mine.
-
all of the abilities are pretty lame, imho.
-
I can't imagine Rob ever allowing super abilities on custom cards. I expected them to be middling cards that players would use as niche cards to fit in their decks (NT musician, anyone?). In fact, I believe the identifiers will be more important than the SAs for most players. Even where that may not be the case, a card may fit a deck concept nicely. My daughter doesn't play musicians, but another NT female hero fits with her TGT-based deck.

Agreed. I think the fact that it's a card of yourself makes up for the fact that the SA's are less than stellar. Besides, since I am currently not sure if I'll be able to go to Nats, I wouldn't be thrilled to see people come to other tournaments with cards only they can use when I never got such a chance. I have a chance of getting the new promo (if it is released) through trades, but the custom cards aren't available like that.
-

Abilities may be lame but There are several factors that can make up for it.
First of all the banding and site access are pretty decent. Those abilities can come in very handy at times.
Second a couple of not lame things:
NT Prophet = Not lame
NT Musician = Very not lame.
now..if only I was a chick. I have never wanted to be a woman so bad in all my life... :'(

If I cut my hair and shaved my beard I could impersonate you, have a custom hero made and trade it to you at a highly inflated rate... ::)
-
I don't ever want to be a woman. Having Babies? No thank you.
-
Can we pull a SOV and show up in a dress to be "Female"?
-
Having Babies? No thank you.
If it was possible, i'd do it just to say I could.
I can endure a lot of pain...especially when I dont have a choice lol

What is the point of buying a custom card for $25 if it can only be used for a year and probably won't see much play?
-

Well, I think I can claim the same. ;D
Seriously though, ouch. I'm a big wimp, and I get noshus (too lazy for spellcheck) at even the slightest amount of pain, so I hope my baby doesn't mind having yesterday's tuna salad all over him when he gets out. I also might need him to hold me...

That's the one Kurt is getting, too.
I like the Luke hero that makes everyone draw a card, since I likes my A-bom deck.
As to the relative weakness of the abilities, Rob requested average starter-deck level cards. He chose the access ability for all of them. He chose the "draw a card" ability that went on a couple of them and was modified slightly for the gold Luke hero. He wanted the rest of them to be a similar level of ability.
I think a 7/4 green N.T. prophet with site access would be better than most players would assume, but then I know what's coming. ;)

Does these have to be preorder or can we get them on the spot at Nationals?
