I say more musicians than anything. I don't want to give TGT much more power, and it's a shame, but it's true that Daniel doesn't offer many hero options.

For musicians, I would try to give them a theme that resembles "lulling" the EC's. Like, an enhancement that says, "While a musician is in battle, no enhancements may be played," or something like that.

I'm having trouble with White. N.T. Women is very general, and Musicians don't really have a cohesive theme. I don't want to do "Daniel Heroes" as its own theme as there are a limited number of cards that could be in it, and the ones it currently has are trash. Anyone has any ideas plz.

Maybe you could do a Psalms theme, that would be supplementary to/depend on musicians, but would contain generic characters described in the Psalms.

Here are some ideas:

Blessed Man (maybe Righteous Man?)

4/8 White Hero
-Generic, May hold one active Tables of the Law or Book of the Law
"While this hero is holding an Artifact, protect him from evil discard abilities. Hero must withdraw from battle if no musician is in play."

Psalm 1:1-2--"Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night"

Wise Rulers

8/6 White Hero
-Generic-
"If a musician is in play, all heroes not in battle are protected from evil enhancements this turn. Hero has access to any site of a brigade matching a Hero in play or set-aside area."

Psalm 2:10--"Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth."


United Brothers

3/3 White Hero
-Generic-
"If a musician is in play, holder may search deck for a generic white, male Hero and add to battle. While more than one hero is in battle, no single Hero can be targeted for discard or removal from the game."

Psalm 133:1--"Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!"

Servants of the Lord

6/4 White Hero
-Generic-
"If no musician is in play, this hero must withdraw from battle. Following a successful rescue attempt, place this hero on a good, OT Fortress. Discard all evil cards on that Fortress, and protect it from discard while this Hero remains. "

Psalm 134:1--"Behold, bless ye the LORD, all ye servants of the LORD, which by night stand in the house of the LORD."

You could maybe take all the apostles with horrible special abilities and make white versions of them?  Seems to be in keeping with the "purity" theme of white.

yes, redo all the horrible apostles. *shakes fist at doug grey*

Keeping From Sin

2/2 White Enhancement, TC
"Place in holder's territory. No evil cards may be placed on holder's Musicians or Psalms heroes. If holder's Psalm hero is in battle and has initiative, holder may discard this card to interrupt the battle and discard all evil enhancements in battle.

Psalm 19:13--"Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression."

I love this idea. Personally, I'd love to see more cards that you can play for use later in the game, like Cov of Noah or this.

I would also be fine with all Apostles being Purple too, giving purple another interesting option.  While not "royalty", they certainly had the "Authority of Christ".

I'm wanting to put Apostles in Green, as it already has Ordained, and Green currently has nothing besides Prophets. I know Purple has nothing besides royalty, but that's not as limited to being strictly O.T.

Red!!!!! put Apostles in Red!!!!!

Right now I think Blue and Green need the most NT help, so I say put apostles in there.

that's the cost of people who use those all too common colors.

I like the first one. It will probably be in the set.

I haven't heard any word on this recently; are you still working on this, Pol?

really? does Green really need somebody as powerful as Jonah? the rest are fine, but...

At first I was like, "How is he even good...?" Then I realized he could do that every battle. Make it a one time thing and only set him aside for one turn, and I think it'd be awesome.  The rest are great, well done.
