Cool ideas!

Herodias
Instead of targeting only a certain character (John the Baptist...most folks never play him) make it broader to be Discard a NT prophet. I think the CBI is too strong for the ability. Maybe make her CBP.

I Have Become All Things
I feel this is a bit OP. A multi-brigade (I’m assuming you mean rainbow brigade) blanket protection from EEs and an interrupt is a bit too much IMO. But, it could be negated if it was played in battle Also, do you mean add a hero of your choice or Enh? This card makes me think of a combination of Not Alone and Life Through Christ.

Burning of Magic Books
Did you know that there’s already a pretty strong reprint of this card in Early Church? Your idea is an interesting one with the convert ability.

Thanks so much for your input...

the idea behind I have become all things, was to permanently add one brigade color to the hero...I guess that wasn't very
clear.

I did realize with Herodias that only discarding J.T.B is limiting, but i was trying to keep it Bible accurate, and I thought the Band and Play ability of hers would make her useful despite that.

I did not know that about burning magic books....ill have to check it out

Ok so if your intention was for the hero to gain a brigade word it something like “Hero gains any brigade of your choice (except silver).” I like your idea for the gaining of a brigade as it’s thematic. Maybe give that character site access as well to make it even more thematic.

I understand with the keeping it Biblically accurate. But with “discard a NT prophet” it’s still biblically accurate and it’s a broader ability for Redemption purposes.

Yeah here’s a link to the BoMB card (BoMB! Just noticed that acronym. They definitely dropped the bomb on the devil with that event!)
