Chief Captain Lysias
7/7 Gray Evil Character

"If block is successful you may place a warrior class Roman on an occupied NT Site.  When opponent begins a rescue attempt you may add that Roman to the battle."

I think in Type 2 Temple Guard could be ridiculous

Possibly, but it isn't really a good thing to continually be defeated and in order for there to be a loop you would have to keep being defeated.

You couldn't add it to battle again on the same turn it was placed. I like all three.

Hes not in territory so AOCP wipes him out if played on a saducee in battle, Holy unto the lord targets him.

There are a lot of battle winners that would target Temple guard even though he is on a site and prevent the hero from having to play multiple battle winners, Plus with Asher and Micah, there is plenty of battle winner recursion (and choose the blocker can eliminate the all of these site guarders).

I like these and they really strenghten site guard (a strategy that is particularly weak and has been for a long time)

They are not OP even though the saducee loop is pretty sick.


Props to you Sean

The current Temple Guard is classified as a Sadducee but I'm not sure why.  Seems to me a guard would be unlikely to be educated like the Sadducees were and probably wouldn't be part of their political faction.  That said, I don't think this would be too strong if it were printed as a Sadducee.
