Babylonian Soldier is going to be insane.

Are these all the new cards?

I've had the recent list for a while now and have meant to ask, the new Cheribum, you can still only have one of him (or his older counterpart) in your 50 card deck, right?

When I was looking over my Playtester's Card List I saw Assyrian Siege army will destroy fishing boat!!!

He's Generic now, so you can have up to 4. Kind of important considering his ability is that he can band to himself

Not quite. Same name + Same brigade or Same art and same brigade = same card for deck building purposes. So you can only have one card named Cherubim in your 50-99 card T1 deck.

What is the point of letting him band to himself if I can only have one?

You can have more than 1 in a 100-154 card T1 deck, or any T2 deck. It's the same principle as Absalom's Soldiers. So primarily T2 players will use his ability to band to another copy of Cherubim, and T1 players will use him to band to Isaiah...

Also, why did Joseph get a SERIOUS nerf?

He used to say good CARDS with joe in title / reference are CBN... what caused that to change?

Basically, we decided that a 2/2 blue/green prophet who makes three different battle winners CBN, could hold Coat of Many Colors like a weapon, and is CBN protected from discard was a bit much. No idea why...

Seriously, playtesting the earlier Joseph was like playing Poker with two Aces up your sleeve...once he came out, he was virtually unstoppable vs. a lot of defenses.
