Valley of Death is too similar to City of Refuge, except not quite as good. Also, it doesn't really do the concept justice. The valley of death should be wicked-sweet.

Pharaoh's Army is way, way too powerful. Just CBN banding is crazy good. Throw high numbers, WC status and a D3 into the mix and it needs some serious dialing back. I do like the concept of certain cards doing things if you have certain other cards without necessarily interacting directly.

I took out the banding ability and also the CBN.

Well, be careful not to overbalance it. Now it's barely usable. The more fun and unique the ability, the better, something that would appeal to a playstyle more than a deckstyle.

ok...so I only took out the banding, but still made the characters ability CBN. And then I added an ability to the fortress. the part I added was: "If this fortress is occupied by more than three heroes or evil characters, protect you hand, deck, and discard pile from opponents."

What do you think? Any better?

I think the cards like Reach of Desperation, Egyptian Horses, 2K horses, and Swift Horses are some of the best enhancements in the game. I think all the brigades should have a card with the same ability. I'm going to attempt to create one for the remaining brigades. They are coming soon! And with Lambo's help I'm sure they'll look great!!!

Here's one my brother in law wanted. I told him i would post his idea, but that I would need to tweak and dial down his abilities. They were insanely op'd.

Title: Adonijah
Brigade: Crimson
Numbers: 3/3
Class: Warrior
SA: Adonijah cannot be converted. If Adonijah blocks King Solomon, holder must draw 2 cards and then discard this card after battle.

I disagree.

They're the "best" in that they should be in every deck that can use them, but I find that kind of card to be toxic to the game. It turns the game into a race of who can play the first CBN enhancement.

Minister Polarius · « **Reply #32 on:** September 16, 2012, 02:42:20 PM »

Agree with Lambo. All the Brigades ought to be at the same power level, but not because they all have the same card.

Adonijah would never be used. Protection from conversion is a solid ability, but underwhelming in light of the many, many better choices for Brown kings. A special ability befitting his attempted coup d'etat would be more fun.

To the first part of your response....I guess I would agree. To the second, I will make Adonijah brown but my problem was trying to come up with an ability that would work with his coupe. I put in the draw 2 because he tried to take the throne twice....once from his father and then once from his brother. But that's the best I could come up with. Any ideas???

What about high power but high risk

discard all israelite royalty in play to discard all cards in battle, to protect lost souls from rescue. If this ability is interrupted, prevented or negated opponent may discard Adonijah and a grim reaper Dom from owners draw pile.

White already has a better version of this card and adding another interrupt draw play next to TGT doesn't seem necessary.

Interrupt draw 3 play next

The ideas that I came up with in the above posts are all dealing with spiritual gifts from I Corinthians. That's why I put "Spiritual Gift" as the identifier.
