You could have this David and Green David in the same deck.

Yeah but having this David + Green David would be better than Red + Green, so there is still improvement to Sam decks. 

But it would give Sam another version of David to search for and draw 2 off of.

That was the point I was arguing against. I never said it doesn't help Sam decks (because it does), I was simply pointing out that it doesn't add to the number of Davids a Sam deck can already search/draw from.

Apparently in different parts of the country it's been ruled differently as to whether or not Samuel can search for David/Saul (and draw 2) if a copy is already in play. The elders have been discussing this and you can expect an official ruling soon, probably within a week. But to my dismay I do not believe you will be allowed to create duplicates with Samuel.

I doubt we'll see a new version of David anytime soon, so there's no immediate scare of boosting Samuel decks. cookie monster is correct though, I intentionally moved the banding ability to King David who has a II Samuel reference so as to not help Samuel/FBTNb.

@ Jmbeers - going forward, when we print characters with abilities that are active in territory, they will probably be territory class. However, if that happens we won't combine warrior and territory class on the same character.

I hope you guys nail down the differences between that potential ruling and The standing ruling on unholy writ being able to discard duplicates.  Several people will struggle with why one is allowed and the other is not.  You may have already thought of it, but just a heads up.


 I actually really like all versions of the 4 color David.  I just really want a David that is useful/awesome pretty much since I started playing years ago.

I really like the flip character!

2 requests:

1) change the King David art.  I've never been a fan of it, since I know the artist intended for it to show Solomon sinning. 
2) If David has to win in battle before becoming "King David," then you might as well let King David keep white, since he remained a musician.  He could keep red, too, but it might not be as needed. 

Does anybody know what the next expansion will be?

Starter decks.

Where's the proof that it will be a starter deck?

I hope it will at least be useful this time.

Yea, I'm just looking generally, The Egyptian stuff and the Disciple stuff seemed like most of the best stuff in there. But for groups that don't have access to the newer cards, its quite good.
I'd suggest to check your nearest Family Christian Bookstore if you need newer cards for your playgroup. They usually sell Redemption cards and the Coupons always work on them because they aren't popular enough to go on sale (mostly because people don't know that they sell Redemption cards) I have seen quite a few packs, TexP, Di, and Tins (and sometimes Starter Decks).

It's back!!!

Hope Philistines will get some boost from the starters, they need some more stuff.

Need a boost? They have one of the most unkillable combos out there and plenty of nasty Enhancements to boot! I don't think they need a boost. Saducess are the ones that need more of a boost in black because they still are too slow and don't work well at all.

Both Sadducees and Philistines need a serious boost, though the former is definitely in more of a need of it. Really, all three of the black defenses (Sads, Phils, and Canaanites) need boosts to be good defensive choices.
