Title: Mordecai (revised)
Post by: stefferweffer on September 15, 2010, 06:32:22 PM
1/4 Blue Unique Male Hero

Protect all heroes from discard abilities on brown enhancements.  May use purple enhancements.  May band to a hero of "royalty".

"So Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in royal apparel of violet and white, with a great crown of gold and a garment of fine linen and purple; and the city of Shushan rejoiced and was glad."  Esther 8:15

(To go with my King Xerxes card)

The wording is jenky, but just cosmetically. Decent card, nothing too fancy, not OP, not UP.

I like it. I don't think we NEED to mix Purple and Blue any more...but still, it's nice.

yay...one hero who can play Prosperity, Book of Jashar, Book of Hozai, and Reach, all at once. hand limit saves lives.

I thought about just making him purple instead of the original blue, (being second to the king and all), but I noticed that we did not have purple Daniel or Joseph cards.  Apparently royalty (purple) is strictly used for just the head guy and his family members rather than someone exercising the authority of royalty, so I tried to be consistent.  But I think we'd agree that Moredecai has far more "right" to purple enhancements than Lydia does :)

Don't get me wrong, I understand WHY she has her special ability in the game, but there is a big difference between having the gift of making clothes like that and being able to wear them :)

One could wear them if they could afford them but purple cloth back then would be like wearing a pure gold suit made of real gold now. VERY expensive.
