The Four horsemen

Just some ideas. The brigades were showing up a little funky on the Card Builder so i just made it as close to what looks like actual brigades. Let me know what you think.

Wow! Love the way the abilities speak directly to the scripture verses. I would think that The White Horseman would be some kind of beefed up "Archer" in that he would be able to target a character in territory but maybe he would not discard himself afterwards making him and ultimate form of the "Archer" cards.

Cool cards! A consideration though is that in context (Revelation 5-6) it is Jesus (the Lamb) who releases these horsemen (as He does the rest of the Seals, just like the Trumpets and Bowls too). The Warriors set picked up on this by making each of these judgments Good Enhancements. And so it's tricky because while they are killing, their purpose is not to kill the Church but they are part of God's end-time judgment against the kingdom of darkness. So I'm not sure the best way to represent them, because certainly war, death, famine, etc itself is not good, but God uses those in this fallen world to judge sin. Just my  :2cents:

Great ideas!! but the colors on the cards seem a bit random... I don't know if that was intentional or not. I mean... the black horseman should probably include black as one of the three brigades right? Red horseman could include crimson and white horseman grey. Honestly not a big deal but something that bugged me haha

good points. Perhaps something along the lines of what fire foxes is would suit these.

the brigades are difficult so I tried to match them with what colors represented what they did and less about their actual colors. But there are alot of themes that they can fit in and I wanted them to at least be 3 color to limit them in t2. So in the end it kind of is a bit random.

Actually, the judgements against the earth don't begin until the Seals. The first four trumpets are the galloping of forces that have been picking up speed since the beginning of time, and even if that were not the case its perfectly fine to have the horsemen themselves purely evil. Why does Death & Hades search for an Animal?

I am not talking about T2 unless I am explicitly talking about T2. Also Mayhem is fine now somehow!

His ability was based off Revelation 6: 8.
I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.

So the wild beasts of the earth is the animal part, famine and plague the decrease, and sword the weapon class part.
