This is a very cool idea! I don't know if I'd make it draw, seems like that would help the opponent more than hurt. I would think this would fit better:

"Exchange this Hero with a green prophet in deck or territory to make opponent discard an evil card from hand or territory. If played as an Enhancement, negate and discard an evil card. Cannot be prevented."

That's my :2cents:. As is, it's very solid. Well done!

I like your version too, but the purpose of having your opponent/s draw too is to dumb down the power of the draw and play. It just increases the likelihood of your opponent having an answer to it, otherwise I think it would be way too powerful, especially if you played it after revealing a hand. However, I do now see that it would really hinder its stock in type 2 decks. Just some thoughts.

I'm glad you guys all like it though, I did not expect this card to get that much attention. Awesome 8)

Hey guys, I just revisited this for a bit because I had a bit of an idea about how to tweek it a little. I cleaned up the wording a bit to make it easier to understand and flow better. I also made an alternate version too! Please tell me what you think about both. Thanks! 8)

It's a surefire way to make sure no deck will ever be without a Prophet contingent ever again, nor any defense without Jezebel and Ahab!
I am not talking about T2 unless I am explicitly talking about T2. Also Mayhem is fine now somehow!

Well, you can't do the "Negate/discard" portion if this card is a hero, which it will be if you use Eternal Covenant.  But I agree that this card is too splashable, flexible, and powerful. 

Here is an alternate idea that I think is toned down enough:

Prophets as Swords
7/7 Green Hero / 4/1 Green GE
Identifiers:  Prophet, X = number of your Isaiah - Malachi prophets
"You may exchange this hero with an Isaiah - Malachi prophet in deck or territory to make all draw X (limit 3).  If your Isaiah - Malachi prophet is opposed, exchange an evil character in battle with one in opponent's territory to discard an evil card in that territory.  Cannot be interrupted."

I like it! I find it a bit funny and cool because I originally had in mind for it to only work with prophets from the books of the prophets, but didn't know how to write that on the card. I like that you managed to pull it off and improve the card all round. Niice 8)
