Barnabas
« on: August 13, 2010, 01:26:09 PM »

11/9 Blue Unique Male NT hero

May band to Paul or Mark.  None of your Redeemed Souls may be removed from your Land of Redemption while Barnabas remains in play.  Cannot be negated.

way too overpowered.  It's basically another GOYS.

OP'd.
change it to make it like thorns.
of course it would be like a non intiative 1 brigade Faithful Servant.
Hmm.
Retired?

What's OP'd about another card that protects against Falling Away?  I didn't feel GOYS was OP'D.  I felt it was just a counter.

In this case he's such an encouragement that the redeemed souls remain that way as long as he is around.  And with his color and being NT I could only see him having a bunch of play in T1 Multi.

We already have Lampstand and GoYS. Falling Away doesn't need another counter. Falling Away has the important task of making T1 more competitive, by possibly giving a defensive player another possible turn to stave off a high-powered offense. A first turn FA (before your opponent gets his Guardian) can often mitigate a bad defensive draw as well.

I would go more along these lines:

Barnabas
11/9 Blue Hero
May band to Paul or Mark. Protect converted Evil Characters from evil discard and conversion abilities while Barnabas is in play.

Similar idea, but A) more useful if you have GoYS/your opponent has already used Falling Away and B) Not a counter to Falling Away.

I agree that this revised special ability is still in keeping with the card idea.  Thanks for your help.

Not only that, but it might make the characters that you convert with Holy Grail to clear the way for TGT somewhat useful...
