I really like this one. Philistines could use one extra solid character and punish cards are always welcome.

Starting the work week off right with a couple of spoilers! Thanks, Cactus, for allowing YTG to post these two vintage cards!

Oh hey, facebook decided to let me see stuff today.

I like both of these a lot. Obviously we've seen a couple of the ECs in the vein of False Prophets, but grey has some of the best curses in the game. While not inherently game-winning, a pre-game RBD or Birthing Pains could definitely put a complication on the opponent's game plan.

False Peace is one of those that I like because it goes well in a deck that I'm running, but it feels a bit powerful. Instant access to any OT card as a TC enhancement is pretty incredible. Almost certainly a 2-of in nearly any grey or brown T2 deck with any important OT cards.
And of course, I'm excited about the implication of evil brown prophets. My money's on Prophets of Baal, and Elijah with them.

Prediction: Unsuccessful will be a legacy rare. It needs rewording as it's received an errata.

A little bit of official info: Phase 1 will contain 3 UR, 36 Rare and 90 Common cards. Legacy Rares will not be packaged with phase 1.

Are the rarities locked in yet? Have we seen any of the URs?

We are in the process of assinging rarity now. While we haven't made any final decisions I believe you've seen at least one UR

Do we have an idea on how this packs are going to be distributed? I assume they're going to be like TexP, Disciples, Early Church, and so on.

Card boxes like those, yes. 5 PoC cards per
Pack. The other 10 are still under discussion.

The natural feeling of regret might overcome you if you betrayed a friend.

Discard 3 of an opponent's cards? Yeah, that doesn't seem OP...

Not unless your opponent doesn’t have an evil human, good card, and an activate artifact in play at the same time (also assuming you don’t want to discard your own evil human). Besides, it’s negatable. It is a strong card, nonetheless, but not necessarily OP.

It's not negatable if you play it correctly. And what are the chances your opponent won't have at least two of those things? Most decent decks will always have targets for this, especially if it can stash itself away for later use.

Woes and the TC place-to-discard-later enhancements can still stop it. And if your opponent only has two of those things, what are the odds that you have the 3rd and therefore have to target yourself?

This wouldn't be so bad if the card in Q-

A: didn't underdeck itself when drawn for full use later (when the opponent will have all of those things)
B: was itself not an evil card with a discard ability. We all know what Wages does.
C: factored in MP. This can hit everyone in MP at basically anytime.

The existence of counters should not be used to justify why a card is abnormally strong. Extreme over-the-top counter-example: You could've said the same about Gamaliel's Speech and HSR when Confusion was running rampant.

The reference on Men of Moab says "armed men", and the art shows the same. Should they be warrior class?

I agree 100%. That seems like an oversight on our part. I've updated John's spoiler image to reflect his WC status.

Don't even need chariot and horses though...just band (CBN) to The Strong Force and play a capture (CBN)!

This is by far one of the hardest cards to look at as far as art/aesthetic is concerned. I can't decide if I like it because it fits the theme of the card, or if I don't simply because it hurts to look at.

That said, more redirect is always fun, and the ability is more than fair. Wonder how many decks will play it?

Sure. Redirect doesn't change which character uses the Enhancement, just which player carries it out.

Distortion 6/0

Interrupt the battle. Redirect the last Enhancement played by opponent.

I really like the special ability and the card art etc.

But I kinda feel like this card could possibly see some more play if there was at least 1 or 2 toughness added to it as I noticed the other redirect enhancements (except maybe 2 ) have at least 1 or more toughness on them.

Example maybe the numbers could be changed to:

6/1

or

5/2

If at least 1 toughness could be added then , at least this enhancement could still help with blocking by toughness in battle as it does not discard the last enhancement played by an opponent.

Would be nice if at least 1 toughness could be added , but not sure if everyone else feels the same way about it.

Any thoughts or ideas on this??
