Title: NT Brown!
Post by: Ironisaac on June 23, 2017, 12:44:22 PM: In a bible study a few days ago, a thought came to me. Why are there no NT brown characters? I mean, there's angry mob and the new frog demons, but there are plenty of other characters that could be NT brown characters. So, i took a few characters that don't really fit into any theme and made them brown! Feedback welcome!

Yeah.. i was thinking he was too broken... oh well! I think underdeck would be a good enough cost.

Yes

Post by: jesse on June 23, 2017, 02:06:06 PM: I really like these (especially The Redeemed Thief!!), although I agree The Thief on the Cross is OP. I hope NT Brown becomes a defense in future sets!

NT Gray is Pharisees and Romans. NT brown is non-existent. It's not good business to put a third theme (even a somewhat ad hoc theme) into a brigade with two instead of one with zero.

Honestly Gray doesn't need another theme, and honestly, lukewarm would be more of anti-conversion and making RA's ineffective.

As for the cards, I like them!

Post by: The Guardian on June 25, 2017, 12:57:02 PM: N.T. Brown feels more like the "Unrepentant" than the "Lukewarm," and that would parallel nice with the O.T. Brown theme of Rebellious Israelites.
