C'mon, you guys know we need a card for the person with the longest name in the Bible. Now, the problem is deciding what ability he would have... (Reference from Isaiah 8:1)

1/1 Brown Evil Character
Place this character on a fortress for one turn. Discard that fortress and Mahershalalhashbaz after one turn.

Mahershalalhashbaz 0/0 (Green)
Everytime Mahershalahashbaz enters battle increase his abilities 0/1.
If he reaches 0/2 and you have an Assyrian in play, discard him to remove all cards in opponents artifact pile from the game. No lost soul may be rescued if Mahershalahashbaz is in battle.

Isaiah 8:2-3

Why an EC?

Warrior_Monk · « **Reply #4 on:** February 10, 2014, 02:44:20 PM »

As far as I'm concerned, EC is the natural way of man. The reason he isn't a card is because we know basically nothing about him.

Longest name, which apparently means "swift is the booty, speedy is the prey." O_o

I did a quick search but didn't see anything else about him in Isaiah so we don't have much to go on. But general Redemption tradition is that if someone didn't specifically worship God or follow him/Jesus, then they can't be a Hero (even if they aren't necessarily "evil") so I think Westy is right in making him an EC.

Well, the name certainly isn't English.

Names stay the same regardless of language. I'm Joshua in english, spanish, and hebrew.

Whatever you say Yeshua, Jesus, Joshua.

If anyone wishes to continue the discussion on the nature of man, please do so in Open Discussion.

As for the OP, I think it would be a detriment to the game and would confuse people to make characters about which we know nothing. If we did, I would rather them be Heroes.

While all those names have my same meaning my name is Joshua :p. its a bit odd though, why is Joshua (Yeshua) from the OT named Joshua in the bible but Jesus is Jesus?

The Old Testament was primarily written in Hebrew, so we use the Hebrew name (although somewhat Romanized) while the New Testament was primarily written in Greek, so we use the Greek names. There are other examples too, like Judah -> James (I think) and the most famous Saul -> Paul

FWIW: I heard that James was a changed form of Jacob to please King James. Otherwise, his name would not have been in the book he was supporting to be translated. I would be curious if it was actually Judah. Judah (as a name) and Jacob don't appear in the NT, so I would think either was plausible.

You're right, I just got got the names mixed up. Jacob -> James.

Isn't Mahershalahashbaz the the foreshadowing picture of Jesus. Weren't Isaiah's Prophecies fullfilled in close proximity against Israel first and then Jesus later? Mahershalahashbaz was a sign of the prophecies fulfillment right?
