Kind of a new rework for the Christian martyr and the angel of the Lord

i think that no one would ever use angel of the lord or christian martyr ever again. these are exactly the same, but they remove instead of discard. plus the protect on the angel of god is really powerful. also, death for christ, the name and the verse, sounds more like a good card than an evil card. i do like art on both of them!

Well that's kind of the point I don't want to use the angel of the Lord and Christian martyr as a discard ability anymore I want a removal card so I thought I would rework the cards. The Angel of the Lord in the Bible protected and defeated enemies. Death for Christ is a good thing for Christians going to heaven as a martyr but it's not a good thing for Heroes trying to rescue Lost Souls here on Earth. The artwork on both was just something that I thought Redemption would probably use. I'm just tired of the Christian martyr killing Heroes and then being discarded and next turn they come right back into play. I want them removed from the game.

If you're tired of characters coming back into play, there are ways to remove cards from your opponent's discard pile to prevent that as well as ways to prevent them from searching it to recur things.

As far as the cards, they are way too unbalanced, and as Ironisaac said there would be no point in running the older cards anymore (so you may as well just make these reprints with the same names). Dominants are already the most powerful cards in the game because they can be played at anytime and are inherently CBN. If you really want to make an alternative to the regular dominants that banishes instead of discarding, I feel like having 1 card that's dual-alignment (both good and evil dominant) that can banish a hero or evil character would be better. But that 1 dominant would have to have the combined identifiers of these (as in, you could only use the dual dominant if you were running neither AotL nor Martyr).

When trying to keep your deck below 56 cards it's hard to put a card to remove a discard Pile in so this would be the alternative to having one card just to remove a discard pile. the angel of the Lord and Christian martyr together they could remove cards from the game instead of just discarding them. Originally I thought to reprint the angel of the Lord and Christian martyr with the new abilities but I thought it'd be fun to come up with something different as well. It did cross my mind to have a duel dominant card and for a minute I put both on the card but it was fun coming up with it. In all reality it's just a Christian martyr and Angel of the Lord reprint. I think this is how they should be reprinted in the next starter decks.

Ashteroth Worship (starter deck version) is a great utility card. It's good for unrestricted removal of opponent's discard pile; it can be used to discard a good enhancement; it can be played in territory or battle; and it can be used on any evil character and boost that character by */6.

Or sing and praises, which you can get with music leader, and can also give you +5/0  ;)

Doesn't work quite as well, because it won't remove heroes, but it is still pretty good.
