7/7 Crimson/Pale Green generic female human EC

Negate the special ability of one male human hero.  Look at opponent's hand.  You may then withdraw Adultress from battle unharmed.  Cannot be prevented.

Prov.7:26 "For she has cast down many wounded, And all who were slain by her were strong men."

Reasoning - She undoes the good work that her "victim" has done.  She is allowed to "see" what she should not be.  And the hero willingly lets her get away with it.

Not to be crude, but she sees those parts of the hero that are to be "private".

The hero is not deceived.  He is a willing participant is this sin, and does not "call her out" as evil for what she has done, because he has willingly done the same.

She is Pale Green/Crimsons for a few reasons.  First, Women as Snares was printed as Pale Green.  Second, I think Pale Green could use some help.  And Crimson, because she has spread her bed with fine linens, and I just personally imagine crimson being the color of a seductress.  But really I have no real preference for brigade colors.

You may then withdraw Adultress from battle unharmed.

Can the defender present a new blocker? Or is she the only way to block once you send her out?

I wasn't aware Paul got or wanted mad women erry nite.
Pale Green is OP, Crimson seemed like a good brigade choice because she'd work well with Heretics.

As for Paul, I don't remember him being converted to an EC, or being captured by a "deadly snare", or so many other evil cards in the game either, so I'm not sure what the point is.

The card is trying to acknowledge the danger that these types of women, with their "feminine wiles", pose to even the strongest of men.  Proverbs 31 calls women "that which destroys kings", and we can see its effect on such heroes as Judah, Samson, David, Solomon, etc.

As for Pale Green being OP, I only hear about this in Type 2 (and you would only be allowed one of this card in Type 2).  I haven't seen many Pale Green defenses since the release of the last set, even with the addition of musicians.  Seems everybody still loves Pharisees/Sadducees, Philistines and Herods.  I also don't consider the woman in Proverbs 7 a "heretic", but that's just my opinion.
