But you know, I just don't think it's quite original enough. Needs some salsa...

Or are we going to have another "Historian" card?

Post by: Warrior_Monk on January 21, 2011, 10:39:45 AM: I was going more for biblical accuracy. Discarding an evil fortress would hopefully be powerful enough for people to start using royalty again. Perhaps I should change it to: "Negate all special abilities on sites and evil fortress."

Post by: Minister Polarius on January 21, 2011, 11:45:12 AM: Still not very exciting, but if it were like this it'd be a good card.

Cyrus the Great
12/10 Purple Hero, WC
-King of Persia-
"Release all Captured Heroes. Negate the Special Abilities on all Sites and convert one Site to Purple this battle. Once per game, you may Discard an Evil Fortress or Curse. Cannot be Interrupted."

Post by: Warrior_Monk on January 21, 2011, 11:51:25 AM: Define "Release."
Title: Re: Another shot at King Cyrus
Post by: Minister Polarius on January 21, 2011, 12:39:30 PM: Should have become the terminology for "Return...to owners' territory" a looooong time ago.

What's the scripture reference for this character or was it meant to be a promo?

Post by: Alex_Olijar on February 02, 2011, 08:47:31 AM: I'd imagine the reference would be from the prophecy of Cyrus in Isaiah.
