PROPHECIES OF CHRIST (Spoiler thread)

[Watchman]

I really like the spoilers from today. Nice job. 👍

One of them I feel could be a bit different. Reap the Whirlwind. It would be really cool if instead of just shuffling all heroes in battle that it shuffles all characters in battle (or perhaps even all cards in battle, except this card). This way, it’s not as a repeat Scattered that effectively does the same thing, it has a cost-benefit in that you lose your defender(s), and it’s thematic as the preceding and succeeding scriptures from the Hosea reference talk about how Israel is being punished for their idolatry and having kings of their own interests. This is a punishment on those people who did this. And those folks are Israel, who are represented in Redemption as brown evil Characters (Kings of Israel, idolators, rebellious, etc). And a whirlwind is destructive and doesn’t care about who’s in its path.

Can anyone read what number is on the card?

I like this. Specifically I'd love to see shuffle all cards in battle so it gives you the option to try and reuse some enhancements or characters that discard themselves after battle.

90. But I didn't exactly read it. The cards are numbered in biblical order, and Isaiah was in Phase 1, so we can see which of the missing numbers after Isaiah it should be.

10-4 thx

If Nebie blocks and captures a human to the fort, does that human immediately get discarded? I assume so since it doesn’t say “each upkeep” when the discard happens.

For the furnace, I know at least it used to be that if a fortress describes both how cards are added and removed that was the only way you could add or remove them.  Yet in the LoR article it sounds like you can use furnace to clean up otherwise captured characters even though it describes how to add (block with neb) and remove (discard or release and search).  Am I missing something?

I don't recall seeing an answer to these questions.  Could one of the elders advise, please?

Also, adding to this, could/should the latter part of the ability be changed to be "If your Babylonian king blocks..."?  That way, you can broaden the ability to work a little more often (since there's just a few other Babylonian kings) than just waiting for it to work when you eventually get Nebie out and block with him.

Yes, the discard off the Nebby capture would be immediate.

I sort of answered the 2nd question earlier - if you instead the hold, you aren't technically removing the card as it was never there. Leaving it as a card with a holds identifier that can't really hold anything (unless negated, I guess).

We are looking at changing to an ability with similar functionality that avoids the problem with the hold by just discarding captured humans.

We thought it would be fun to theme some of the new Lost Souls after popular cards. I get the privilege of revealing the first one to you. This card is pretty useful any time you draw it!

Expect a couple more of the new souls from my peers soon!

I wish Scattered soul said, “all banded heroes in battle.” Instead of just all heroes.

If this gets negated what happens?  What if it leaves play while negated (like with SoG)?

The take is instant and completes in the phase the LS is put in play. The duration is part of the take and can't be negated after that phase. So the negate doesn't really impact it.

Thanks for clarifying!

Not sure if this card is real but it is April fool's day on the east coast. Maybe make it only work on April fools day.

I understand that the background is referencing the original "Scattered" card... but it should be changed for a more standard background. The four colors and skull just doesn't look great... plus it's somewhat confusing as to what type of card it is at first glance with that giant skull typically denoting a card as an evil enhancement.

I like the creativity of the background for Scattered but I think the actual look of it is horrible.

I see what you mean, but I think even some light texturing of the background could solve that.  Most backgrounds nowadays don’t just include solid colors.

Overall, I like it due to the tie to the enhancement.
