PROPHECIES OF CHRIST (Spoiler thread)

[thecoolguy]

Is anyone under the impression that "The Emmaus Road" is a Good version of "Wages of Sin" ....... or is it just me   

[Red Dragon Thorn]

Yup, you're right on Indentured Servant. My bad.

Looking at the first reveals and the final images side-by-side, there's a lot more art extending past the border. It's pretty fantastic. Great job, guys!

Some is more obvious, some is more subtle. Maybe we should have a contest to see how many people can find them all?

I'm not even sure I can find them all

Kinda, but there are far more evil discards than star cards (and most stars are in one brigade, making Wages much more splashable). There are no star doms, either.

Although... that's an interesting idea. SoG reprint that goes back to the old style without a negate, with a star ability, OT reference, maybe banishes self to prevent Malachi shenanigans...

[thecoolguy]

Just an interesting thought it wasn't supposed to be revolutionary

What are the stars for again?

What are the stars for again?

Star abilities activate when drawn by game rule (the 8 at the start of the game and the 3 at the start of your turn). When drawn, you can reveal them to carry out the star ability. Isaiah also activates star enhancements when he plays them in battle.

Okay thanks, maybe I just haven't noticed these before...or are they new?

Awesome! Always good to get a new addition, that adds some depth.

So now the fun truly begins!  We have gaps in the card numbers.  What cards are the missing numbers?!?!?!?

Yeah that is what I was wondering. Gonna be tough sorting them.

Some will be difficult (almost impossible) to guess, but others wont be.  For example:

46. Carcasses
49. Incurable

There are only 8 verses between them.  So it would be easier to pinpoint the 2 cards in between them.  I would always look at current cards in the game with those verses and look and see if it needs a reprint, if there isn't any, then lets find out what they might be using!

[Bobbert]

Looking at the revealed phase 2 cards, we can surmise that Numerous as the Stars is #10, Alexander is between #166 and #168, Flying Scroll is #208 or #209, and 400 Years Lacking Prophecy is #221.

Are these the only phase 2 revealed?

Umm, aren't you forgetting Fake Spoilers? 

 

[Bobbert]

Ya know, I could probably just throw out a random number and nobody would even check it. They'd just accept my false reveal. Or Fake Spoiler, if you will 

(Though if a card has that verse, it'll be #146, and a card with Doomed Canaanite's verse would be between #134 and #136)

These cards are amazing! I haven't been on since the first 10 or so we're revealed! This is goingto be an awesome set! Too bad I won't have much til Nats...lol! Anyway, is there a thread that explains the star cards??

I'm sure it is somewhere, but I don't know where, so I'll do my best to explain it.

During your opening draw 8, and each turn on your draw 3.  Play your lost souls like normal, and draw to replace them.  Before you play any cards you can choose to "activate" (probably wrong word) any and every star ability in your hand.

During the opening hand, whoever has the most lost souls or wins the tiebreaker gets to play their star abilities then the opponent gets to, and then you continue as normal.

If you draw one by a special ability you do not get to activate the star ability.

I'm sure there is more to it than that, but that is the basics.

This helps thanks! I like the idea of only being able to use the stars on your normal draw. It would be chaotic if you got to use them every time you drew a card.

Before you play any cards you can choose to "activate" (probably wrong word) any and every star ability in your hand.

One point of clarification, you can only use * abilities on cards that you drew that turn. You cannot draw a * card one turn, and then use it on your next turn during your draw phase.

The best practice may end up being to set your current hand down during your draw phase so the opponent knows you are using * cards drawn that turn.

Makes sense.

I knew I was missing something!  That is a huge clarification I left out!
