Couldn't agree more, I feel the biggest problem with this game right now is that there aren't enough enhancements.

Too little enhancements or too theme orianted enhancements?

I think enhancements sould be less theme base so other themes can use them (eg have a genesis enhancement that doesn't only work on genesis heroes (that way, the theme gets the purks of recurring it while other blue themes can still use them)).

I disagree to an extent with Ironica. I think the new theme enhancements should say something like "Do x, or if used by [theme] do y."

Just something that gives even when not used with the theme, but is much more powerful with the theme.

I meant both to some extent, there's little incentive to use enhancements over banding chains anymore.

5 Enhancements like that for each theme (aside from the already well-set ones) would make this game much better imo.

Nice. :)
Historically accurate too.
Didn't they just make a bunch of Herod enhancements?

Well, they made a bunch of enhancements that are gold and CBP if used by a Herod, if that qualifies.

That certainly would qualify. :)
I like Herodian.
Goes with the gold discard theme.
