Some more card ideas I've been hoarding for awhile (with another batch or so to come whenever). You know what to do.

Lost Soul (Sorrow)

Cave of Adullam

Zadok

I like the concept of the gods of egypt but it would not be made as an evil character because as far as redemption is concerned false gods are not real.

Why? they are demons. i know we have demon behind the idol, but why can we have false gods as demons? there is god of this world who is a demon.

I thought they were going to make an EC when they did the reprint? When did this change?

If that's the case, it would have to be a Gold/Orange Enhancement.

I love all these cards, especially Zadok! I've felt like he's needed a reprint for some time. i think that gods of egypt is too powerful though. maybe make it a generic demon, and change the special ability to "...discard a generic demon or your evil or neutral card depicting an idol from hand or territory." that would still make it pretty powerful, but i think that might nerf it a bit. great ideas, i really like them!

I think a card like Zadok would go a long way to make a teal deck (or pure red) really good again. I like him too.

For the gods, I was thinking the cost was fairly high as is. Discard an evil card from hand and the top card could prove costly to save one character if you hit a crucial card. Plus, Moses stops this without even attacking. However, maybe it could be this:

0/0 Gold/Orange EE
T.C.
ID= Limit one per territory
"Place in territory: Protect your evil Egyptians from convert and discard abilities. During battle, you may banish this card to negate and discard an Enhancement or band an evil Egyptian into battle."

What does "banish" mean?

I feel like Egyptian idols is a little bit too powerful. You basically will get to discard a card from their deck every turn,  and potentially have a second artifact activated.

I really like the lost soul.

It hasn't been officially confirmed yet, but there has been talk of replacing the phrase "remove from the game" with "banish" to keep abilities shorter.

I could see the Idols losing their activation on Egypt or Pharaoh's Throne Room. As for the strength, I don't really know, as there are plenty of counters to deck discard already. The Egyptians' discard strategy is not really that good right now; this would definitely cause them to see some more play. And with demons, an uncommonly paired defense!

I do too. I like when the Lost Soul's verse ties directly to its special ability.

So... Basically the rumor is to just steal Yugioh's term.
