Wow. Like the idea of there BEING Nephilim, but this guy is OP. Negate and discard a hero. Yikes. Also, he should be generic.

The Nephilim are some of the most frequently attempted and rarely balanced cards to make. This is one of the best pictures I've seen for them, but the SA is frankly not cool enough. I'm a firm believer in the cooler parts of the Bible getting cooler, not just more powerful abilities (see Goliath).

Negate and Discard a hero without a cost is probably on the OP side. Black could use some help though.

I might just make it totally CBN so the banding you're trying to restrict doesn't negate it. Otherwise, great card!

Much better!

Better now, but you'll have to protect Heroes from banding. Restrict targets players.
