What do u all think?

seems kind of under powered to me. His ability could be useful, but I don't see in what kind of deck he would see play.

I was thinking that it could become a Ezra/Nehemiah Deck.
And Isaiah protects Purple Kings from Opponents and is CBN.

If you want to make an Ezra/Nehemiah theme, then a couple more characters & battle winners would help make it more competitive.

I think I could do that. I'd just have to look through Ezra & Nehemiah and find some good stuff to make it into a nice set idea. And also reprint Ezra w/ a better effect and be half-whatever the brigade would be. (Probally White)
Do u think I should remove the 'Unless an Evil Isrealite is in play' part to help him out or make him band to Ezra?
Just trying to make less UP.

I'd do both. So add "May band to Ezra" & remove "Unless an Evil Isrealite is in play."

Okay. Do u think that will even it out?

Yes. Here's an idea I had for a Nehemiah theme.

Nehemiahs' Prayer 4/3 white GE
SA: If a Nehemiah hero is play, return an Evil Character to owners territory. You may draw one.

ok here's some more:

Artaxerxes's Decree Artifact
SA: You may discard this card to place all captured heroes to your territory. You control those characters.

Ezra 5/6 Teal/White hero
SA: If Nehemiah is in Battle, You may Draw X (Max 3) or Play an Enhancement. Search Discard Pile for a Good Ezra Card and place it under Deck. Good Ezra Cards and Temple Artifacts cannot be Negated by an Evil Card.
Identifiers: X=number of Ezra/Nehemiah heroes in battle. Priest.

Bringing of the Law 2/2 White/Teal GE
Class: TC
SA: If you control an Ezra or Nehemiah Hero, interrupt and discard all Curses and Evil enhancements in play to Draw one.

The Joy of the Lord White GE 3/3
SA: If you control an Ezra or Nehemiah Hero, discard an Evil Fortress to negate an Evil card.

I'd change Ezra to have a bonus for Artifacts and have something on cards from Ezra. (He has his own book remember?)
I'd put it more like this:
"If Nehemiah is in Battle, You may Draw X (Max 3) or Play an Enhancement. Search Discard Pile for a Good Ezra Card and place it under Deck. Good Ezra Cards and Temple Artifacts cannot be Negated by an Evil Card."

That okay?

yeah, that sounds better.

The others are good, other than I might reword them to keep them to the most current Redemption 'grammer'

Also, for the battlewinners, let's try to get them that their mostly specific to this setup, we definately don't want to make any more staples.

Maybe I could add "If you control an Ezra Hero" to both of the enhancements?

edited.

Okay. We also need to come up w/ some more Characters.

here's some more

Eliashib the High Priest 9/9 Teal
SA: Search deck for an Ezra or Nehemiah card. May band to a son of Eliashib. May use OT White enhancements from Ezra or Nehemiah.
Identifiers: Zerubbabel's Temple High Priest (House of Eleazar)

Determination of Nehemiah White GE 3/3
SA: Negate Evil immunity. If used by an Ezra or Nehemiah hero, discard an Evil character.

My brother and I have the same grammar.

I think they know what you meant.
