I forgot to mention it in the OP, but I'm mainly focusing on offense right now. Exodus defense is fairly good as is right now. The current Exodus offense cards are absolutely terrible.

I mean I guess you could play some hand control egyptians, but I would hardly call that fairly good, especially compared to the drawing of the genesis egyptians.

QuoteElders of IsraelNice card. Would see use in an Exodus deck as a utility bander, but I don't see the stackiness being used much since, while his secondary ability is useful, it's not useful enough to eat a card slot.
Elders of Israel
QuoteBezaleel I'm guessing there was a word left out and I'm guessing it was "or." One does not place Fortresses in play, just play will suffice. You also don't place cards in your hand, so add there. Quite zippy without helping meta-speed at all, well done.
Bezaleel
QuoteIthamar, son of AaronI see what you did there, but give them each at least a bit of flavor beyond brigade imo.
Ithamar, son of Aaron
QuoteOholiabSee above.
Oholiab
QuoteJethroWut. He doesn't have low enough numbers, good enough identifiers, or the proper reference to justify being just a D1 sometimes D2 when Jair gets to be a 2/2 D2 Judge.
Jethro
QuoteJochebedWas "or" meant to be "and?" You said "them" so I assume so. The Green/Gold is nice, but with horrible numbers it doesn't matter too much. Assuming "or" is "and," it's a nice card that would find a home in some Genesis decks for the +3, but not all because the suspend 2 on Moses can rob you of a turn of powerful rescuing.
Jochebed
QuoteMiriamAh, finally, a powerhouse! I would assume all Gold Evil Characters are Evil, though :p
Miriam
QuotePharaoh's Daughter Unless you have a Love For Rachel-type enhancement to go with her, I have a hard time seeing this being more than an Apostles-era card. Did you mean to give her Purple? Because that would make her more usable.
Pharaoh's Daughter
QuoteWomen of IsraelJust not enough punch in the face of all the other cheap banders. Perhaps make it "When an Evil Enhancement is played, may band to a Female Exodus Hero?" That'd be wicked cool with Tabernacle up.
Women of Israel
Is Yellow good and Gold evil now, or are both still referred to as gold brigade?
Quote from: Lamborghini_diablo on September 06, 2012, 09:37:53 AMIs Yellow good and Gold evil now, or are both still referred to as gold brigade?Both are referred to as Gold, but Pol's point is that there is no such thing as a good Gold Evil Character, thus evil Gold Evil Character is redundant.
What if the decrease portion was increased to 2/2 or 3/3? I'd like to play with the idea of Exodus being an offense that uses heavy self-banding (since they all stuck together in Exodus) and decreases.
I had some difficulty coming up with an ability for him. I went to each scripture verse for ideas, and he was just a priest who gave Moses his daughter to marry.... and is never mentioned again.
I initially meant or, but I could easily change it to and.
Similar to Jethro, I had a really hard time with this one. I'm open to ALL ideas.
Did you purposefully make it so that Jethro and Ithamar can't play all the Gold/Green Exodus enhancements you created? Just curious.
Jethro was a priest who was mentioned briefly at the start of Exodus
QuoteJethro was a priest who was mentioned briefly at the start of ExodusExodus 18, brah.
Well, keeping the same as it was except being activated on Moses would be boring so maybe "Plagues with an Exodus reference cannot be prevented. At any time you may discard this card off of Moses to search deck or discard pile for an Exodus plague." and keep the "activate on Moses" identifier?
