That's a really cool card concept Derek! I like how in tune it is with the Bible event, and it's a really powerful and versatile card!

These concepts look great!  Nice job, guys.

I voted for a Hero, and I would love to see an updated Deborah; but given Micaiah is my favorite prophet, I would prefer to see him as a new character.  I also like Kevinthedude's idea about a NT equivalent to Moses with Paul being updated.

I was also thinking of a DAE, which I didn't see any option for in the survey.  The DAE would be "Birthright Sold" (blue/crimson brigade, 0/0), based off of Esau selling his birthright to Jacob (Gen. 25:29-34).  SA would be something to the tune of (this is my first attempt at creating a card, so bear with me):

"If used by a Hero, holder may discard all good cards in hand to negate and underdeck all Evil Characters in battle.  If used by an Evil Character, withdraw all Evil Characters in battle to protect all Lost Souls from rescue to skip holder's next turn.  No new blocker may be added to battle, and no evil card may be played the rest of turn.  Cannot be Negated if Jacob or Esau is in battle."

Wordy, I know.  The idea behind this incident being a DAE is that the event set up Jacob to receive the firstborn title but at the expense of exploiting his brother's moment of weakness and supplanting him, hence the reason for the discarding all good cards (in essence, Jacob "discarding" his integrity).  On the flip side, Esau wasn't thinking past the grumblings of his stomach which led him to foolishly sell his birthright.  As the Scriptures say, he sold his birthright for a morsel of food.  The "morsel of food," in this case, would be that the player's Lost Souls would be protected from rescue, but his ECs would be withdrawn (maybe underdecked instead?) and he would "sell his birthright" by skipping his next turn (this would obviously be a desperation block if the player is giving up his next turn).  The part about no new blocker may be presented or evil card played the rest of turn would be insurance for the rescuing Hero not to have to fight another battle, and from CM stopping the rescue or Falling Away getting back the LS (this goes in line with Esau submitting to his hunger and to Jacob).

Just my two cents.

Wait wait wait. Your telling me you withdraw your evil characters to protect all lost souls? With no limit? Too op!

I mean really, even before Cloud Moses.. FBTN heroes have dominated since warriors.. What does NT have that is as easily splash able and versatile as the FBTN heroes, not to mention often walking rescues?

Only the Hero who has rescued the most Lost Souls of any Hero in the game... evah!
