Ebed-melech - A Devotional Inspiration

Taking inspiration from the devotional posted on Land of Redemption today I came up with this card for the character featured in it. I tried to be accurate to the story as much as possible, though he might be a tad overpowered as a result.





I wasn't entirely sure what brigade(s) he should have. Green and purple both seemed possible. He's not actually a prophet himself so I decided not green and I couldn't remember if people-related-to-royalty-but-not-actual-royalty-themselves were allowed to be purple still or not. I decided to go with white just because it's sort of the catch-all brigade.

If you're wondering why he protects from brown and crimson, check out the article!

This is really cool! I'm glad someone made this. I feel like he should have a different brigade, but I don't know what. i also think instead of protecting against brown and crimson, he should be protected from warriors and weapons because it was prophesied: "For I will surely deliver you, and you shall not fall by the sword; but your life shall be as a prize to you, because you have put your trust in Me" over all, nice job!

Brown is correct in that if we were ever to print this character he would be white. The white brigade is the home of people that do not fit directly into an existing theme.

I think the ability is great and probably not OP.
Have you visited the Land of Redemption today?

I chose brown and crimson for the protection because he saved Jeremiah from King Zedekiah's original order (brown) and God saved him from the Babylonians (crimson).

I think the ability is great and probably not OP.
Thanks! I figure since he's off-brigade for the theme he supports (prophets) that his ability could be a bit stronger since you'd have to have white to back up him (or dominants) if the prophet he banded to gets removed from the battle. I actually think this card might be good in a white/green Daniel-focused deck (except that he messes with Foretelling Angel).

I like the white brigade on this character....for me "White" represents purity. The "White" N.T. ladies are a perfect example of this.  Here, Ebed showed kindness to those people; kindness is a virtue of God and, thus, shows the purity of God's nature-which is why I think the "Kindness" good enhance should also have a white brigade. But that's just me.....;)
