Babs don't need a Seige army type character bc they already have one

Bab Soldiers

Currently Bab solders are only good.for getting out their protect fort. Their other ability is only useful against red heroes, which are only in solo red or some varient of a Sam offense.

Babylonian Soldiers
1/1 WC Crimson
If blocking you may remove a captured character from the game to negate and discard an active artifact or draw X (limit 3). Increase this character X/X.
X= # of captured characters in your territory
(Babylonian)

I'm not sure what you mean?

I must've been thinking about the Bab card in the Priests set. I believe its called Babylonian Forces

*Edit*

Here's another one I thought up to go along with Babylonian Siege Army,

Babylonian War Elephants
3/1 WC Evil Enhancement Crimson
"Underdeck a card from hand to add your Babylonian to battle"

A ability like that should specify what type of card. Here is what I think it should say :
"Underdeck an evil card from territory or discard this card to add a warrior class Babylonian to battle."

Sorry. I meant to say from hand. *Edit*

No elephants in Mesopotamia.

No elephants in Mesopotamia.

I found this on Wikipedia concerning War Elephants,

Quote
They were first employed in India, the practice spreading out across south-east Asia and westwards into the Mediterranean.

I also figured it would be another card with Elephant art to go with Mayhem.

When, is the question.

To be fair, a case could be made for Persian war elephants, but i doubt they were in Babylon's army.

 To answer Pol's question, the first known battle that war elephants were used was in 331 BC which was between Alexander the Great and Darius III of Persia.

Maybe it would be better to change every word "Babylonian" in this thread to Persian. :dunno:

Besides minor historical technicalities, do either of the cards seam to "up" or "op".

Why would you want to put Mayhem back beneath your deck, especially at a cost?

To set up your next BSA? Besides, I wouldn't want to clog my hand with such a meh card anyway. ;)
