Title: Army of Fire
Post by: Josh on January 29, 2014, 12:20:34 PM
This is from the time Elisha was in an Israelite city, and the King of Syria besieged it to kill Elisha (who was telling the King of Israel Syria's plans, even as they were being made).  Elisha prayed for his servant's eyes to be opened, and he saw "horses and chariots of fire".

Army of Fire
0/0 Multicolor GE
II Kings 6:17
"If your OT green prophet is opposed, may search deck for any number of generic angels and add them to hand, territory, and/or battle.  Cannot be negated if two or more evil characters are in battle."

Since this is obviously prophet support I wonder why you have it as a rainbow enhancement rather than just green. If you're trying to limit in deck-building you could make it green/silver for a max of 2 in Type 2, but the rainbow aspect seems unnecessary.

Other than that, I like it. I would totally use this in my Isaiah deck. :P

I was trying to limit this to 1 per deck, and not to work if played preblock via Hidden Treasures.  Therefore, multicolor with an "If opposed" clause.  I could see it going Green/Silver though.

I was also debating if I should make the CBN clause apply if a Syrian was in play, instead of 2 opposing ECs.  CBN clauses that you can control are inherently much more powerful...  But you have to have a Syrian in play, which means you are playing Syrians, and right now that is inherently less powerful   :)   Any opinions on this?

I'm not super familiar with that particular story in the Bible but if Syrians were the bad guys then you could work in some thematic aspects that way, yeah. Any conditional CBN is going to be better than a straight up CBN so the condition doesn't matter as much (as long as it's not super easy, or super hard, to meet).
