King of Ai's effect wouldn't work. Because Joshua's Spear is CBN u can't 'Interrupt and Prevent' it (which is the same as Negating it)
I'd say that most of the cards a really OP.
I'd change Joshua to say:
If more than 3 Lost Souls are in play: Negate Lost Souls. May band to a Exodus or Joshua Hero. Joshua Cards cannot be negated by a Classless card.'
This way Josh is a bit more useful, and I believe he is a Judge too.

All the gold stuff really should be red except for joshua who would be also gold since I believe he was a judge.

Well I don't really want them to be red...if i change them to red then I will make Joshua red and yellow.

Well. The reason why is that the Warriors are Red. Joshua should be Red/Gold too.

Well as soon as I can figure out how to use Gimp or something....I'll be able to change Joshua to a dual brigade....I tried Gimp but can't figure it out.

Slightly off topic, when I read the title my brain saw:

"The battle for Adobe Illustrator"

(https://www.cactusforums.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fupload.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fcommons%2F6%2F68%2FAdobe_Illustrator_logo.png&hash=a4aee99e6a8b0c77cdf035e7c084b86e58d7e3f8)

Carry on.

Okay, Joshua is incredibly OP...let's start with Moses banding:

A CBN FBTN band to Moses with all of the CBN that both Red and Gold have is just...off the charts.

In addition, he should not be banding to Moses at all, IMO.  Aaron bands to Moses because God sent Aaron into Egypt with him as his speaker to Pharaoh.  Almost none of Joshua's exploits were with Moses, as Moses had died before they could start settling the Promised Land.

On to his band with 30k.  So, we have a CBN 17/17 band that grants CBN protection from opponents to the most important part of it.  Oh, and it tutors him if he's not out yet?  Absolutely OP, and would have to be toned-down.

Unfortunately for the rest of the cards, abilities that only target a single card across all of Redemption are not very useful, nor do they see any action.  A more generic search if 3k is defeated, or a more generic ability on the spear, would be more suitable to actual use.

EDIT:

Just reread the evil...again, incredibly OP.  King to Army is already a 20/20 CBN ban with the most important character protected from opponents, and the way the ability is worded you could add another WC EC to the battle.  So, this could easily be a 30/30 CBN band with, say, Goliath?  Now King is protected, you punt, negate band, draw, and play...oh and the 30/30 thing.

This extends to nearly every amazing WC EC in the game, and can lead to even more banding.

My suggestion for all of the cards: Tone down the OP, reduce the CB-, reduce the protection, reduce the banding, and make the targeted abilities more generic to see actual use.

The image URL is not the same as RC images, so I'm assuming he edited it himself.

Darn... I was hoping that RC finally got the Dual brigades.

Downvoted for massively goonish art on King of Ai.
