I could easily see NJ being the new tourney winner...

The NEW New Jerusalem

Type: Lamb • Brigade: None • Ability: None • Class: None • Special Ability: Play this card simultaneously with the Son of God card and rescue any additional Lost Soul in play. If not played simultaneously with Son of God, all abilities in battle are negated.

Was my Bro's idea.

New J doesn't need a power boost, and this could be a very high power boost for it in games where you lose SoG (or in type II where you are less likely to get both), since it would make a CBN FBTN battle.

Since when did I say CBN? Edit: not FBTN anymore.

Dominants are always CBN

Aha, silly me...

I'm guessing that the no SA cards may be Teal, given that Windows of Narrow Light gives protection to no-SA Heroes. This would mean either Tabernacle or Solomon's Temple reprinted (likely the latter since most Tabernacle Priests are already playable) that perhaps further benefits no-SA Heroes.
I am not talking about T2 unless I am explicitly talking about T2. Also Mayhem is fine now somehow!

I was thinking this too, but what well known priests are in Solomon's temple? I know Abiathar and Zadok due to Bible Bowl many moons ago covering 1st and 2nd Samuel (I used to know Sam's lineage as well for bonus points :P) Most people remember Eli because he was fat, Aaron of course, but I'm not sure what other OT priests are super well-known...I could say the same thing for musicians...

Haha, most of the guys you just listed are Tabernacle priests anyway. Not every character in a starter deck needs to be well-known. There are quite a few guys from the newer starter decks I've still never even heard of!

Actually, Abiathar was only a Tabernacle Priest. He was exiled by Solomon for choosing the wrong side (he was with the party that favored Adonijah as King). Zadok may have been a temple priest since he stuck with Solomon, but I don't know if that's for sure. Aaron and Eli were definitely strictly Tabernacle priests

Probably the most well-known Solomon's Temple Priest is Jehoiada, because of his protection of Joash. Other ones (Hilkiah, Amaziah, Seraiah, etc.) are known probably mostly only to Biblical scholars and Redemption players.
Press 1 for more options.

To clarify, I was thinking of famous priests in general based on the leak above:

(There are 3 O.T. heroes with no special abilities in the starter decks - all in the same brigade.  Two of those are very well-known Bible characters)

and I know which priests are tabernacle and which were Solomon temple, mostly (I did forget Abiathar and Solomon did not get along  ;D)

There are also several old, unused cards that reference Solomon's Temple, so it would be nice to make them useful again.

I have a feeling in my gut that we're gonna get some Gold Luke/John heroes. This would be a nice addition to the game.

I really doubt that NT gold will get any help cause they said that in the deck that Peter and Andrew are in that some other well known humans will be in it and the rest would be silver. The other deck will have a OT offends and NT defense

What conformation is there that the support brigade would be silver?

Because they said the rest of the good side of the Deck wouldn't be Human. It may be NT Gold since there are some really cool guys there that need reprints too.

How about some rainbow brigade cards? Those have been in almost every starter, and none were in the last set. ;)

Teal is currently the only brigade that does not have blank-face characters. If any brigade needs them, it's Teal.

Most 'blank-face' cards arent needed. And Teal certainly doesn't need them unless they plan on making a lot of cards that support no-effects, which could be better used elsewhere.

Teal is currently the only good brigade (except silver?) that can't use Windows of Narrow Light, which is a little ironic.

Silver has some no SA characters, like this one…

Silver can, but why is it Ironic that Teal can't?

Because Windows of Narrow Light is a temple artifact, and so its ironic that priests are the only group in the game that can't use it.

Not too much... Since I would remember that most of the Temple Artifacts are actually to note to things for the Church or other symbols, so I wouldn't really call it Irony that Priests can't use a Temple Artifact.

...Um, the term Temple Artifact refers to pretty much all artifacts found in Solomon's Temple or Z-Temple, and even if you go Herod's Temple, those were still priests.

There are a grand total of 0 Christ artifacts that are "Temple" artifacts.

Plus it would actually cause windows of narrow light to see some use.  In fact if some decent no-SA priests are printed it might be fun to build a gold/teal/silver deck with lots of no-SA characters.

Well according to Hebrews, all the temple artifacts are copies of those in heaven, but even then the cards are referring to the artifacts in the temples the priests ministered at.
