Basically, I'm undertaking a project to make a reprint idea for every useless card in the game, fix the wording on not-played-as-intended cards, and put everything in its proper Brigade. Here is installment one: Artifacts.
Assyria's Tribute
"Twice per game, if you are blocking with an Assyrian you may Negate all Enhancements and Special Abilities on Heroes. Cannot be Negated."
Book of the Law
"Protect your Good O.T. Enhancements in territories, deck, Discard Pile, and hand from removal and Discard by a Special Ability."
Cross Beams of the Cross
-May be Activated on Simon of Cyrene-
"If you play Son of God during your Battle Phase, you may add a Hero to battle."
Every Man's Sword
"Negate all Special Abilities that give access to Sites. You may Discard this card during battle to make one Site brigadeless this turn."
Moses' Rod
"Enhancements used by Moses and Aaron Cannot be Prevented. Moses and Aaron may band together."
Priestly Breastplate
-May be activated on your High Priest-
"Negate Ignore abilities."
More to come later. There really aren't that many useless/improperly worded artifacts that haven't already been reprinted/issued play-as or errata.

Add Manna and Stone Cut Without Hands to your list.

Wait for Pontius Pilate does that mean if i was looking at your hand, I could discard your SoG and then die and protect all LS's from rescue?
-
I would think that PP would be the same ability with "discard a card from your hand to..." since Barabbas was discarded instead of the Son of God...
-

That's correct. I want to punish Good Doms hard so people may actually think twice about using all of them in every deck.
-
...so people may actually think twice about using all of them in every deck.
That will never happen
-
yeah even if there's a card that discards all dominants in opponent's hand i reckon there will still be most of the dominants in most every deck which is kind of sad.

That's because dominants can be played any time and can't be negated, and often they have game changing effects, (Son of God and New Jerusalem can make a 3 point shift by stopping a rescue while rescuing 2 Lost Souls, Grapes of Wrath can stop an entire banding chain, etc) Dominants are too powerful right now and having cards that discard them won't really change that, having cards that punish using them or make them dead draws might make players think twice though.
-

It will if my favorite card suggestion ever comes to exist :)
Special Ability - "If holder has not played any dominants this game, discard this artifact to remove all dominants from all players hands, draw piles, and discard piles from the game."
-
Special Ability - "If holder has not played any dominants this game, discard this artifact to remove all dominants from all players hands, draw piles, and discard piles from the game."
I like it if it's a CBN TC MC EE. :)
-
couldnt you still destruction that artifact???
-
Probably only if someone makes an Urim n Thurim mistake by leaving it up without using it...
So what would that card be called? Relying on Human Wisdom, Regretable Choices...
-
Image of the Beast?
-
Special Ability - "If holder has not played any dominants this game, discard this artifact to remove all dominants from all players hands, draw piles, and discard piles from the game."
I like it if it's a CBN TC MC EE. :)
lol! So basically if it is a dominant? And one that can be recurred since it is an EE? Not that you'd NEED to recur it... Unless it got Confusion'd :D

Precisely. ;D
-
there should seriously be dominant limitations. With Disciples coming I bet that adds another 2, maybe 3 cards that are dominants that will be in every person's deck. Soon half the deck could be dominants :-X
-

I have NOT (I repeat...have NOT) looked at the Disciples cards that are coming out, so this is only a guess. But I'm guessing that there are NOT 2 or 3 dominants in the new set.
-
I hope there aren't any STAPLE dominants, I'm ok with Glory of the Lord and Doubt type (but a little more useful) so they can be used in one kind of deck, but not ones that are good in almost every deck
-
There are zero dominants in The Disciples. In fact, especially if you include the new promos, there are at least a few cards in Disciples that will dial down dominant desirability.
