WOW Ashera Worship is WAY OP.  This could decimate some offenses.  especially in Multi.  They with Garden Tomb, you convert another persons priests and block,  The player with priests makes an RA, you convert the other players Garden Tomb. 

Maybe limit the conversion to OT heros since Asherah pole only affects OT heros.  THis would limit your targets severely, but is might be paired well with an offense that uses OT females so you can convert your own heros to block.

I made the change to O.T. since it's meant to counter TGT, which is mostly Female, which should provide plenty of Male, O.T. targets. The upside is that you can block TGT. The downside is that you're now being Ignored, with a character with no S.A., in a Brigade that has no ninja blocks. You'll still have to play Lurking or Love of Money to make the block work.

Well if you can keep a Brown evil character alive in your territory (even in Kingdoms) the character isn't being ignored.

I would probably use Temple To Asherah just to use Asherah Pole permanently in my Silver/Orange deck

Id like to see this expanded and perhaps linked to Ba'al worship so we have the 1 - 2 punch of caananite fertility worship!
