PROPHECIES OF CHRIST (Spoiler thread)

Drawing the replacement happens before you activate the LS ability.

I'm pretty sure it's draw (including all replacements), reveal to activate * abilities (if a game rule draw), then activate the abilities of the drawn LS.

I don’t know if the elders realize it or not but the numbering on The Great Fish and Jonah seems off. Jonah is listed as 185 and TGF is 147...

I just looked at our master graphics and Great Fish is 187. I'll double check with Gabe, not sure why it has 147 in the image shared with the boards

Thank you! This type of find is SUPER valuable! During the final stages of proofing there were 2 cards that were misnumbered. Fortunately they were caught by the people helping us proof. We had previewed the "final" changes to The Great Fish before that fix was in place. Had we not noticed it we'd want to get that corrected today.

As John mentioned, The Great Fish is actually card 187. That will be reflected in the final HD graphics that will be uploaded to LoR in the near future.

Hey look it's another couple of rares! 

Capture all teh humanz...

This one I'm particularly excited for as it's a card I originally posted as an idea just over a year ago. At the time, I was bummed because I figured it would be a couple years before it would fit into a set, but with the change to the release dates, it ended up being much sooner.

No prob. I made the change on the OP.

The next rare today is a nice Mede and will surely make an impact as he takes evil humans and cities at will.

The second rare that I will spoil today is a city that the Mede may try to take if you're not careful.

Nice!  Both the previous two post reveals look great!!

One more day of “rare reveals” including the final UR!

Some time afterwards we will make all the card images and check lists public.

Is "board advantage" a new keyword for "opponent has more cards in play than you"?

[Red Dragon Thorn]

Is "board advantage" a new keyword for "opponent has more cards in play than you"?

Slightly more nuanced as "board" also includes set aside, and the singular card possible in the Land of Redemption but essentially yes

[Bobbert]

I like the updates on both the Jonah cards. Very flavorful.

You guys should post that somewhere in addition to having the definition in the REG.

Like Red I assumed it meant in play. I never would have guessed that it would have also included set aside and LoR.

Kicking off the last day of Rare Reveal Week we have a very powerful, but thankfully not super splash-able, card...

In addition to that card, I am also honored to be able to share a card that ties red warriors and green prophets together...

I've got two evil rares for you today:

You might have regrets:

So this one was already known to be a rare, but we wanted to properly preview it as such...let me also say that I can't wait to start using this. Might we see a BoM comeback???

Not bias or anything, but this is my favorite card of the set.

[Reth]

The star ability on a card is optional and can be carried out any time you draw a card (with a star ability on it) by game rule. There are two times that happens, your draw 8 at the start of the game and your draw 3 at the start of each turn. If you choose to use the star ability, you reveal the card and perform the action after the star.

One question regarding this (maybe already answered): When drawing 3 or 8 - does one have to play the star ability of each card whenever this card is drawn or can one draw 8 / 3 and afterwards play all * abilities in any order?

Maybe we should open a Rules thread regarding *?

This is more of a question of how the game works than how * cards work. Cards are all drawn together (8 or 3), even if you draw them individually for practical purposes. This includes putting Lost Souls down and drawing the replacement card(s).

Was the last UR shown yet?

[The Guardian]

That will be happening some time tonight. 

[Gabe]

As one of the first 2 previews, this card underwent some pretty significant changes before becoming UR. The entire concept of the set is based around the conversation that took place in this passage of scripture, so it seems appropriate this this card should interact heavily with the cards associated with the sets newest theme.

Not sure if this was caught or is too late, but shouldn't Cursed Egyptians have the 'Egyptian' identifier?

Interesting choice of UR Kinda nice that it isn't such a HIGH end chaser card. Maybe I can get a couple this time.
