I think that these cards are really cool and creative. Being a zelda fan myself I would definitely create a zelda deck myself if these cards were real.

"Restrict players from attacking with the same Hero(es) on their consecutive battle phases. Following a successful Rescue Attempt, place a rescuing Hero with a Special Ability here permanently (rescuer's choice)."

The cave just has too much going on to be within the text limit.

"Protect your O.T. Good Cards not in battle from opponents. Negate Protect abilities on Lost Souls while your Exodus Hero is in battle, unless Complainers or Golden Calf is in play."

"If your blue Genesis card would be Discarded by a Special Ability, you may place your Hero here to shuffle it instead. At any time you may Discard a card from hand to return a Hero here to hand."

"Each upkeep, if occupied, selected opponent must give you a non-Dominant from hand or Discard the top card of his deck. Any time a Lost Soul would be Discarded, you may Discard contents instead."

As to my actual comments, Heavens Gate, while having an awesome name and picture, is too potent in turtle decks, and WAY too splashable.

The Cave looks like two good cards attempting to occupy one card. I'd split it up.

I'm leery of the broad-ranging CBN protection afforded by the Mountain (even removing CBN for length, only ASA can hurt it).

The Ark really doesn't have a reason to exist. Joseph is the backbone of Genesis, and he's easy to recur already.

I like Den of Robbers a lot.

The only thing is Heaven's Gate is actually a defensive card. Im sure we could find a a verse and title to match the ability (other than the the protect Hero ability)

For heaven's gate, maybe give it a self-discard like "If you control more heroes than evil characters, discard this card." That way offense-heavy decks won't be able to use it.

I think Ark should specify good enhancements, otherwise what happens when my Joseph in Prison gains blue brigade, does that mean I can play it offensively? etc.

For Ark, I think "Genesis heroes may use good Genesis enhancements regardless of brigade" would be a better last phrase.

Maybe, but I like the possibility of a blue Angel at Shur.

This sounds fun.  Creation actually is good now.

Watcher is to powerful. I can use AOTL to remove an E.C. from the game.

I really like them, especially The Watchman.

Goliath's Sword is OP. It makes Goliath even more, and by more I mean A LOT more amazing. Thats a very good repeatable block and and more than that, it is recur able even if it gets discarded.

How? If goliath is CBN and he repels all heroes in battle and then his sword (that can be negated) prevents a hero from entering battle who are you going to play the negate against?

With what? I know there are ways to do it but you can't do it in battle.

You can't have a hero in battle (unless a giant slayer) If Goliath is holding his sword.

Goliath: Return all Heroes in battle to territory (except giant slayers). Opponent may present a new Hero. Negate all band, draw, and play abilities. Cannot be negated.

This will force the opponents hero's out of battle and prevent them from playing an enhancement. CBN

+

Goliath's Sword: restrict opponents from banding and presenting new attackers and blockers (except giant slayers). Negate enhancements depicting weapons (except this one).

The sword will stop a new hero from entering battle.

=

no character in battle to play an enhancement on... so it doesn't matter that it can be negated because you can't play a negate at all.
