Seven layers of OP. It's like an OP onion. I like the concept, though, and having a Blue/Green Genesis Prophet would be sick. Take some guns away from Joseph, he'd still be OP with no SA and Coat on him.

Still on the side of OP since he can play twice in any brigade if he's got his coat, but better.

by the transitive property of equality, ogres = Joseph

by the transitive property of equality, ogres = Joseph

Isn't that what he said?

Ogres = Joseph?

I would ask... but I better not.
Wouldnt it be better to make Joesph more based on what happened after Egypt? Just as suggestion.

It would be interesting anyway. Maybe there should be something that links him w/ storehouse.

I originally had him interact with Goshen, but his ability just can't be that long.

In case this isn't already apparent, the purpose of Joseph's first two abilities are more to prevent OP play-before-block combos than to make him more powerful, so I'm not going to take those off unless I take off all other play abilities and his Greenness, the latter of which I simply will not do and the former of which I would be hesitant about because I think it's Biblically accurate, fun, and balanced as is.

As for Warrior-Class, I'm pretty sure Joe did not fight an earthly battle, and Coat of Many colors was neither a weapon nor worn by anyone but Joseph as far as the Bible says, so that doesn't make much sense to me.

Well, WC doesn't always mean that the Character fought in a Eartly Battle, because that wouldn't explain why Levi is a WC then.

Read Genesis 34 to see why Levi is WC.  Simeon should be too.  Either that of neither of them should.

Notable ruling from the T2 sealed event: Shechem DID NOT fight in an earthly battle.

, that battle was pretty one sided!

i think it should be a

4/7

white/blue hero

because then he couldn't play Joe Before Pharoah. I think all the sons of Jacob (including Jacob) are blue. I personally don't think Green would fit with Joeseph.

The easiest solution to this is to reprint Joseph Before Pharoah as blue. The Genesis theme has made it pretty clear that all genesis characters will be reprinted as blue. Also, Joseph was a prophet, probably one of the most well known ones due to his dreams, so green is a perfect fit for him. As for the numbers, a previous article said that all the Patriarchs (sons of Jacob) were going to get numbers reflecting their birth order. So 2/2 makes sense, since Joseph was the second-to-last son of Jacob and Benjamin (the youngest son) is 1/1.

Personally I'd make him...

Joseph
2/2 Green/Blue Hero
Patriarch, Son of Jacob, Prophet
“You may exchange a multicolor enhancement in your hand with an enhancement based on prophecy in draw or discard pile. If a good genesis fortress is not in play negate play abilities. Protect Genesis cards in territories from harm. Cannot be Negated.”

That way it gives his Coat a better use - recurring the right Prophecy (or dream) you want and holding onto it. He can't play first unless a good Genesis fort, like Storehouse or Goshen, is in play, and he has no way to get them out on his own (like how everything he did prospered, but only if someone /else/ put him into power). He also protects his family from harm, regardless of whether they're yours and with him (in egypt) or your opponent's and far away from him (in canaan).
