The book of Jonahhhhhhh...

12/12 Green
If a green brigade prophet is in play, negate all special abilities on characters and artifacts. If Jonah is in play, convert one human evil character to the brigade of your choice. You control the evil character. Discard The Whale after one conversion. Cannot be negated.
O.T. Animal
Jonah 1:17

Hey Leviathan is an evil animal why can't there be a good animal. The reason for the conversion is that after Jonah had his change of heart The Whale was no longer needed therefore The Whale left and didn't reappear.

Jonah

4/3 Green Brigade Prophet Warrior-class
Discard a GREEN ENHANCEMENT to convert a human evil character in opponent's territory. Cannot be interrupted

The reason for this is that Jonah sacrificed things by not listening to God but in the end, God caught hold of him and he preached His Word and people were saved.
O.T. Male prophet The book of Jonah

Ninevah

Green Assyrian Site

If a hero is held captive here, discard this site to discard the hero held captive and any other hero in play.

The people of Ninevah were nasty people. Enough said.
Jonah 1:2

Fleeing the Lord

multicolor evil enhancement

Place on a hero. Negate that hero's special ability and all opponent's fortresses. Opponent may discard the top 2 cards of deck to negate this, otherwise it cannot be interrupted.

Jonah 1-2

Leviathan never should have been printed as a character.

as for Jonah, hero's killing hero's should never happen. discard a GE or something.

Jonah's better, yes.

as far as Leviathan goes, I really don't like the idea of animals being good/evil. except for The Serpent.

Ninivah is awesome though.

Agree on both parts, especially the "Leviathan never should have been printed as a character" part.  I find it hard to grasp mentally how a living entity can be neither a demon or a human, yet can be morally evil and determined to keep Heroes from ministering to Lost Souls.

The Serpent should be an evil character because The Serpent was not an animal, at least in a way beyond the simple sense.  It would make sense as an Orange character, in my mind.

But Leviathan was a "bad thing" it describes him in the Bible in Isaiah 27:1 "a fast-moving and squirming serpent" and in Job 41:1 it says "who can bring in Leviathan with a hook and tie down its tongue with a rope" it was a giant beast

interesting idea but the downside is that Rob doesnt want anymore dominants in the game how about

The Great Fish
3/3 Multicolor hero
When The Great Fish enters battle, you may set this hero and all others in your territory aside for 3 turns. On return, heroes may use convert enhancements of any brigade. Discard The Great Fish after one rescue attempt

so? that doesn't make him evil. serpent is just used because he was snake-like. and the second part was just to show how beastly he was. just because I can't bring down Chuck Norris with a hook doesn't make him evil.

I say WAAAAAYYY to OP.  This is an even stronger version of St. Patrick.  Plus he is smaller, can use HT and if you could band Micah and Jonah together into battle you have an endless loop of conversion.

btw. I fixed it for you, it is a game rule that only humans can be converted but all SA's should have it spelled out that way anyway.

I don't think the ability is that OP, but I would much prefer a different one because that ability has already pretty much been used.

I think that the 12/12 hero is WAY to powerful. But, I do like the other cards.

I like the idea of having the card titled "the Great Fish" instead of "The Whale" and here is my take on it.

The Great Fish

Green Territory Class Enhancement

Place in holder's territory. Any Green Brigade Prophet that opponent captures, is placed here instead. After 3 turns, return Hero to owners territory. That hero can use convert enhancements from any brigade the next battle. May be used twice.



The reason I only give the ability for one battle is that Jonah reverted to his old ways after the city repented.
