Increase of the Lord

0/0 Gold Enhancement
Territory Class
Increase any hero by 3/3 to decrease any hero in play by 3/3. Negate all special abilities played in the next battle
John 3:30

He must increase, but I must decrease

even tho we decrease in this world we still increase ourselves by increasing Him we further our knowledge of His Word and His glory. By doing this we can overcome trials and tribulations in this world(evil characters)

well i was thinking more of having this played on like a stong angel - get some more numbers OR get rid of the pesky Uzzah

If you want it played then you need a few changes.
1) It can not be multicolor, make it a single color, I would suggest gold.
2) Reword it-
 option a- Increase a hero in play by 3/3 to decrease or increase all evil characters in play by 3/3 until end of turn. Negate evil fortresses this turn. If result is */0 or less, discard the evil character(s).
 option b- Increase any hero in play by 3/3 or decrease any evil character in by 3/3 until end of turn. Negate evil fortresses this turn. If evil character is */0 or less discard it.
 option c
Increase of the Lord good multicolor enhancement- Negate all evil fortresses this turn. Decrease all evil characters in play by 3/3, if result is */0 or less discard the evil character(s).
same card but like Philosophy- Some name that means to bash the Lord's name, maybe called Name in Vain? anyway- Negate all good fortresses this turn. Decrease all heroes in play by 3/3, if result is */0 or less discard the hero(s).

Take out the if used by a John hero. But no I still do not think this card has enough oomph to be played. I also think the card can go better with the scripture. Possibly increasing one hero and decreasing another to do something pretty strong.

EXCEPT, THAT IS OPPOSITE TO THE VERSE.

I liked the "Decrease hero by 3/3 to increase another hero by 3/3. CBN"

  with this comment. Biblically it makes more sense. In the opening passage from verse 22-30; it's talking about John the Baptist finding out how Jesus was having people baptized. To John's discovery he plainly humbles himself and says that Jesus must increase while he decreases as in how the level of importance of Jesus should increase while John decrease. It wouldn't align or make sense to decrease evil characters. That just seems like a poor excuse to twist scripture around to get away with an abilitly people would like to have on a card. Besides just decrease a character that's in your territory.

Or decrease one of your opponents heros, a one two hit of giving yourself more numbers in a battle by the numbers event and maybe knock off one of your opponents heros in territory in the process...perhaps the increase and decrease should be until the end of game...
