No one is saying OT Prophets are in desperate need of support, but there are many prophets who desperately need a reprint (Elijah, Elisha, Jonah, etc) and other cards like The Watchman that could just be really cool additions.

Right, The Watchman would no doubt be a cool addition—but completely unnecessary as well.

But, are there any themes that REALLY need support?

Priests...

Amen to that.

Now The Watchman is pulling away! 26-22!

Vote TODAY! Vote The Watchman for Community Representative, 2016! 

In all seriousness, I know this is just a game, but the game also represents our faith. In these dark days we are living in, with many within the Church falling away from the faith, I believe The Watchman is, prophetically, the representation of what we all or most of us should be. Not taking anything away from Paul, but what better choice of the Redemption community than to choose The Watchman to represent us, to be the spirit of our community--the spirit of prophecy, which is to know and proclaim the heart of our God, and to sound the alarm and to help wake our fellow brethren to fight the good fight of faith!  Jesus exhorted us to Keep Watch in the last days for His return. How much more appropriate than to have this character represent the Redemption community to keep the charge of our Lord in these last days!

Paul is not already a great hero for his signature brigade. You have to do a ton of work to get a guy who is basically Peter or Stephen that also makes Mercy of James and Faith of Samuel CBI, but at the expense of huge brigade liability and not healing/making Gam's Speech CBN or Underdecking evil doms and getting better initiative (respectively) in the bargain.

This.  And

This.

Additional food for thought:

1. OT has all but 1 of the strongest offensive themes right now thanks to the CoW expansion. 
2. If the support Paul got from TEC (Ananias, Blinding Light, Damascus) is so great, why is no one playing him? 
3. I admit that The Watchman is pretty much "fair game" in terms of how creative we can be with the ability...  But with Paul, you get to create 2 characters - a Gray Pharisee and a Clay/Green Missionary.

This point has brought me to this point: I was pondering whether I should open a can of worms or not, but here it goes: Why don't we do... both? 

Considering Paul had to call down the Judaizers (including Peter), doesn't that make him The Watchman of the N.T.?

Go team chaos, go tie!

Yay! On to the Bridges!!
