Here are some Persians I made:

Queen Vashti
1/7 Brown EC
Persian Royalty
Set all female heroes in one opponents territory for 2 turns. Discard Queen Vashti if King Xerxes enters play.
Esther 1:9

King Xerxes
X/X Brown EC
X= number of Persian evil characters in play. Persian Royalty
Set aside abilities on Persians cannot be negated this turn.
Esther 1:2
(Xerxes= X X)

Persian Banquet
Multi Evil Fortress
Persian
Search deck for a Persian evil character and place it in battle. Discard the Persian after battle. This may be used twice per game.

Xerxes Anger
X/X Brown EE
X= number of Persian evil characters in play. Persian
Remove Queen Vashti from the game to ignore one brigade and set aside a female hero for 2 turns.

Vashti's Exile
0/0 Brown EE
Persian
Persians ignore royalty this turn.

Haman's Gallows
7/5 Brown EE
0/0 Multi good enchancement
Evil: Set this card aside for 4 turns after battle. After those turns it become a good enhancement. Cannot be negated.
Good: Negate special abilities on O.T. evil characters in battle. Cannot be negated by a hero with an Esther reference.

I like the idea of printing these types of cards out of Esther, but I agree that these would not be featured in any competetive decks. How could these cards be pumped up to make them useful? Kudos to you for not making rediculously over powered cards up front though...

thanks for the ideas
