2/4 Evil Enhancement (Split Gold/Crimson)

Interrupt the battle and the ability of one active artifact. You may play the next enhancement.

Thoughts? It would be an NT reference but I haven't thought of one.

It's an interesting idea. Does it really need to be 2-color though?

Very nicely balanced. I like it.

Thanks.. actually shouldn't it be "Negate the ability of one active artifact for this battle. You may play the next enhancement."

I'm not sure how useful it would be if it only interrupts. And, is "for this battle" necessary?

Yes, I like gold and crimson - weren't the Egyptians and the Babylonians doing the most sacking? Of course, there were the Philistines...

No, I like it being able to interrupt the battle. Have it say "Interrupt the battle and negate the special ability of an active artifact. You may play the next enhancement." That way you can use it to ITB in case they've already played a battlewinner, negate an artifact that's stopping you from playing your battlestopper, and then play it. :)

Actually, it would have been the Assyrians and the Babylonians. Assyria conquered the northern kingdom (Israel) after the split, and the Babylonians conquered the southern kingdom (Judah) some time later. The Romans eventually came in and conquered all of it, a long time after that. So maybe it should be Crimson, Pale Green, and Gray. :P

Well, it's just that usually the reason something is made multi-color is because it's too powerful, and they don't want T2 to have a whole bunch in one deck, but I don't think it'll be a big problem for this.

...or because it applies to two themes. See: Capturing Canaan.

Capturing Caanan was kind of for both purposes.
