I'm bad at math's, I'm sure you're right

Like the time you used a deck without a card that achieved 20% of the win condition? 

For real though...With all of the idols in this set, I’m calling Asherah Pole as a LR.

Spoiled?

Has a final decision on the FoM booster card mix already been made? If you could share it that would be appreciated! I would like to know what to expect ^^'

The Fall of Man set is 147 cards plus 18 Legacy Rare cards
3 Ultra Rare
36 Rare
108 commons
18 Legacy Rare


Each card pack will contain
4 commons
1 rare or legacy rare or ultra rare

The approximate card mix for remaining 10 cards will be
1 Thesaurus
2 Disciples
3 or 4 Patriarchs
3 or 4 Kings

Each Display box will contain one ultra rare in one of the 24 card packs. New packaging is in production. I don't know that it will be here for the initial release which means we will sticker old TeP boxes until new packaging arrives.

This set has been extra hard to develop and finish.  There have been disagreements and I have personally reversed my decisions on at least three issues.  I have considered an issue settled and then Our Lord has shown me it is not settled. I want the fans here to know that I listen, consider, pray and then make a call, consider more, pray more, ... lather, rinse, repeat.  The elders have soldiered through.  By God's grace, we are almost finished. 

We may be able to send cards to the printer these week.  That means we are at least five weeks out from being able to fill orders.

Your prayers for us as we finish the project are most welcome. 

I believe that was a typo, there are 108 commons as the Legacy Rares are not a part of the 147 card set.

Fixed.  Thank you.

One other thought....the mayhem (if in a pack) will it be the old or updated version? 

Share your favorite things from the set, post deck ideas and combos you want to try, and encourage positive discussion about this awesome new set coming out. It may not work but it’ll make the guys who work real hard on this set feel appreciated and encouraged about their labors and commitment.

I love the idea that the new set(s) focus on glorifying Christ and in order to do that teach  us more about the FoM. I think when talking about the FoM Babel is relevant and the account of Genesis 6, the Sons of God and the Nephilim. Maybe there will be a way to implement some of that without causing havoc in the community in the future? I hope so! Even though there were some difficulties, misunderstandings and harsh words in the discussion about the Nephilim I think it was awesome the issue got some attention and I think it's amazing that people are doing research on this. Even though that probably wasn't intended that's also an achievement of the card designers. I'm thankful for that.
I really appreciate the idea of LR's which is a really smart move! I like the most that it's a way to reprint errata'ed cards and will help newcomers get some value cards for trading! I would especially like to see Doms and LSs as LR‘s
I think it's awesome that a diverse variety of brigades, concepts and themes get an upgrade (like Mill, Ruth, giants, zoo – which I want to build decks with). Pushing cards from old releases is a pretty interesting move as well.
David Hasselhoff-Adam is just funny :'D. In general there are a lot of beautiful card arts!
We have interesting new doms and ways of restricting their use a lot of very versatile new cards and strong LSs – what more could you want?
Increased Reserve access, the ability to target it negatively and all of the "regardless of protection" stuff will probably have a huge impact. I am somewhat fearful of that though.
After thinking about it more I think splitting the DA cards icon boxes I think it is a wise and a very good decision even though I object the replacement of the curse icon.
From a design standpoint I enjoy cards that reflect what happend in the bible the most! That’s why I like Raining Fire, Harbringers, Unified Language, Tree of Knowledge and Hailstones. I like how Pillar of Salt has 3/-1 since 3 „good“ characters are left but one is lost (-1). Dunno if that was intentional?
The cards I am most looking forward to add them to my deck(s) are  Flaming Sword, Hailstones and The Leviathan. It’s just sad that no Angel will benefit from the whole Hailstones effect since the only Joshua Angels is Captain which negates this card. Another thing that was disappointing to me is the SA of The Lying Spirit. Maybe I just don’t get how strong it is yet but I feel like it is under-powered and a poor use of a bible story that’s just ultra interesting to me!
I think Eye for an Eye, Pursued and Destroyed and Treachery will be pretty strong too.
Hopefully that helped, was constructive and encouraging?
Blessings

Speaking of themes, I’m wondering if any of the Legacy Rares is Joseph in Prison? Seems like it could make the cut...

The list is not completely updated in terms of having all the rare cards marked as some of the cards were previewed before rarities were finalized. I will try to do that sometime today.

There will be an article coming out on LoR as soon as the images are finalized showing both the previously previewed images compared to the finalized images.

EDIT: And in addition to the article, all images will be uploaded to the LoR imgur account shortly after they are finalized.

Will this have final wording on all cards from FoM? Thanks

More patriarchs and king extras.... . Not that we dont have enough of those. 

Patriarchs and Kings are great for Booster Draft though.  FoM is going to be fantastic for booster draft, with 5 new cards, plus a TxP and 2 Disciples.  Get hyped

This was meant by my question.

Rarities have been updated on the lists. 

Thank you very much!

7 Legacy Rares have yet to be revealed...#s 4, 6, 8, 15, 16, 17, 18. 

I've seen guesses for:

Asherah Pole
Household Idols
Burial
Exchanger Lost Soul
Son of God
Lurking
Joseph in Prison

I'm not at liberty to share specifics yet, but I will confirm one or more of these is indeed correct. 

I know it isn't going to happen but I just realized the card I never knew I needed is a LR of the Greek SoG.
