Jesus' Cloak
[Artifact | Luke 8:44]
Negate decrease abilities. If a good Dominant is in your discard pile, characters gain the amount they would have decreased instead. You may discard this to heal a hero. Cannot be negated.


Not sure how much people use decreases (outside of Crown of Thorns with Disciples) so this probably wouldn't be used much, but I think it fits.

Well, everyone uses disciples (except for me) so I think I would be used alot (especially by me)

Thought I was getting trolled on a different forum since this sounds like some kind of RPG item.

Master's Table 2.0.

Does that make it bad?

I see a similarity between their discard abilities, but otherwise I don't see how this and MT are at all related.

What I meant by Master's Table 2.0 is that...

1. It's really gimmicky, this will rarely if ever be useful (Goshen(p)).

2. Related to Jesus.

3. Discard to heal a hero.

So, it's simmilar to Master's Table in those ways.
Not that it's a bad idea, It just isn't very versatile and there aren't alot of decrease abilities.

CoT is there to abuse Thadd, after this season it won't see much use.

To limit this mostly OP ability, you should add '' this card can only be used if you have 2 or more N.T. heros in play" or something like that.

I'm not really sure how you find it OP, care to enlighten me?

I don't think it's OP at all...

CoT is there to abuse Thadd, after this season it won't see much use.

I think CoT would still be used for one of three reasons:
1. The player is still using a disciples deck and still uses Thad
2. The player uses it just to kill all your low numbers ECs so you don't get initiative
and 3. The player uses it to hurt his own ECs so that their defence is lower and they get intiative

Scenario 1 is impossible.
Scenario 2 is possible but unlikely, there are better card slots.
Scenario 3 is also impossible, heroes get inish during mutual destruction.
Unless you're running Pharisee / Sadds, but again there are better card slots.

There is no limitation to this ability, an OP card would have a cannot be negated and a good ability without a limitation.

This card would work well with that one Brown set-aside (a 10/14, 16, 18 etc. KoT would be frightening). It's ability to heal a Hero gives it utility. The fact that it spanks Thad silly makes it appealing. I like it.
I am not talking about T2 unless I am explicitly talking about T2. Also Mayhem is fine now somehow!

I like the idea!
I wouldn't expect people to stop using Thad because he's OP. People love to use cards that are really powerful, and has little to no losses for them (except for the opportunity cost of having a different card in).
While Disciples are around I'll bet Thad will be too.
They seem pretty lame as fighters maybe we should challenge them to a dance off or a redemption game
