Title: Man of God
Post by: Kyp Henderson on August 20, 2009, 06:35:54 PM

I know this title is not very specific but in my daily devotions I read about this little mentioned character in the bible.  In 1st Kings Chapter 13 it talks about a Man of God who was called by the Lord to condem Jeroboam King of Israel.  Later when this prophet is returning, another prophet stops him and asks him to stay at his house.  The Man of God refused, because earlier God had commanded him to not stop for anything.  But the older prophet insists that he stays so the Man of God does.  After he leaves the next day,  he gets attacked and killed by a lion.    I think this card would be an interesting card.  It would be a bit like this.

   Man of God   - 6/5 Green Brigade Prophet/       Special Ability- This hero negates all special abilities on Brown Brigade evil characters. The first enhancement this hero uses each battle cannot be negated.  When this Hero begins a battle you may discard Split Altar from your hand to shuffle opponents artifact piles into their deck.  When this hero attacks and is returned to his territory without a successful rescue attempt, Discard this Character.  Ref- I Kings 13:1

     I don't have a card art program so if someone wants to design this card they can and post it here.  Any input welcome.  Thanks!

He could also have something to do with Split Altar (he was the one who prophesied that... Maybe something like, "Discard Split Alter from your hand to shuffle each opponent's artifact piles and face up artifacts.  Cannot be negated." (or I just want Split Altar to shuffle artifact piles)

That is a good idea.  I will add it to his ability.

I think instead of the condition you have down, he gets discarded if he gets set-aside. In addition, maybe make green brigade enhancements CBN?

Now he's way OP. I think this story is so cool, the card should be just as cool, and this doesn't quite cut it.

Start from scratch, imo. Think of a good unique ability, don't just slap stuff on him in an effort to make him good.
