He's King of Tyrus!!!

I like the rework!  My cards are in storage atm so I'm not sure of wording, but can Cloud Moses shut his ability down while in territory?  (Asking if this was intentional to make it possible to drop AotL on him if someone desired)

Moses (CoW) will not stop this card during battle unless he's banded in (by Faith of Samuel for example).

Finally, a fair match up for The Mighty Warrior in the cosmic contest of who has the best thighs!

Awesome card. Can he be warrior class? 

Foreign Sword and KoT FTW

So I don't know Canaanites but is there many ways to get back your EC that you give to your opponent?  seems like a large cost to pay for a draw 1 if there isn't a few viable ways to get them back

Edit: I feel like there is another card but I can't remember. You can get some synergy with this bad boy too.

I kinda agree with the cost benefit. Seems a little too costly to give a Canaanite to draw 1 card.

Maybe it could be draw 2 or some other small ability??

Consider that the Canaanite is coming from the reserve so its easy to setup the give with a weak sauce Canaanite. Next turn, you come in with Ehud or Asahel for an easy battle.  There is some synergy with the cards mentioned above plus maybe some new cards will interact with given away Canaanites.

I for one like that we are getting cards with a cost for benefit abilities.

I love cost/benefit as well, but giving your opponent ECs is a pretty steep cost. Grabbing it from Reserve is better, but I don't want to put worthless characters in my deck if I can avoid it. See my post in New Card Ideas for my thoughts on the subject. 

Ever since Canaanites were introduced they have benefited from plaguing the opponent's territory. That's made red (Asahel) and gold (Ehud) two of the most popular pairings with Canaanites. Sisera's Oppression and Idols of Canaan (mentioned below) are a couple examples of Canaanite themed cards that benefit from an opponent controlling a Canaanite.  I'm certain there will be more in the future.

Foreign Sword could not be used to topdeck the Canaanite "donated" by KoT since the opponent doesn't own the card ("opponent's" requires ownership and control). But IIRC KoT doesn't require that you give the Canaanite. I think it plays out like this - You may take a Canaanite from Reserve. You may give it to opponent's territory to draw 1.

We have a series of "Doomed" characters coming in 6 of the 7 evil brigades. How fun would this card be?

This is not an actual card, but a modified version of the black "Doomed" character.

I love it, but that's a weird verse for a card called "Doomed Canaanites".... 

I am curious to hear more about these doomed cards though. Sounds like maybe one for a major civ in each brigade, with a reference to prophecy about their destruction? Sounds sweet

Context my boy, context. That verse is part of a prophetic oracle against Tyre and Philistia. Tyre was a major Canaanite center, thus "King of Tyrus".

Curious as to the usefulness of the * ability.  Wouldn't it just discard itself on your opponent's first turn?

Also, why limit one per territory?  If there was more than one they could just discard each other and it wouldn't be a problem.

Or am I just entirely misunderstanding this card?

Maybe it could be each discard instead so if they want to get rid of it for free first turn they have to not play anything?

with ChristianSoldier, otherwise Asahel shouldn’t work either.

Back in black! Rock on!

But IIRC KoT doesn't require that you give the Canaanite. I think it plays out like this - You may take a Canaanite from Reserve. You may give it to opponent's territory to draw 1.

I can see where you're coming from (good ol' Reach o' Desperation logic), but this is a cost/benefit, whereas Reach is not. Seems to me that, as worded, it would require the give to gain the draw. It reads like this:

"You may take a Canaanite from Reserve and give it to opponent's territory to draw 1."

The benefit (draw 1) only happens if the conditions before the to are met. Therefore, you must both A) Take a Canaanite from Reserve and B) give it to opponent's territory to C) draw 1. If you cannot fulfil either A or B, then C doesn't occur. That's what I would say, but I'm prepared to be proven wrong.


Just throwing some ideas out there, what if instead of draw 1, it was draw X (X = # of good brigades in battle)? Or give the Canaanite to take an evil card from Reserve? In any case, I'm digging it. Canaanites need a 'boss' character so bad.

Can't wait to see this KoT as a borderless card!
