We need a gold WC Barak too, to go with Deborah. 

As powerful and annoying as evil fortresses can be sometimes, I fear that Samson's ability to discard one at will is just too powerful.  He would get splashed into all the Speed and Garden Tomb decks out there.  He would single-handedly destroy High Places and Raider's Camp strategies.  The version I had in mind would remove one evil male Philistine from the game, but have female ECs immune to Samson.

Why did you make all of them WC, except for Samuel?

And, I agree with Stefferweffer, that there needs to be a Barak too !

I think that Jephthah and Samson should have a requirement such as "If all your heroes are Judges" or something like that.  Otherwise, they will be splashed and Judges will remain unused.

I did not notice that about Deborah being WC.  I don't get the impression that she actually FOUGHT in the battle, but rather that she was present.  But I agree that every other judge (within Judges that is) should be WC.  Samuel is iffy, because after all he did hack Agag into pieces.  Eli should definitely not be WC though, in my opinion.

Good call, guys. All of the Judges from Judges would be WC because even if they didn't fight directly, they were commanders of an army (which gives WC status), and Samuel never commanded an army to my knowledge. If he did, he'd be WC too. Edited.

That wording is a little weird. I would say "Reveal a card from opponent's hand. Set aside a card of that brigade for 2 turns."

Correct, he was not a judge, but I think the current version is red, and I thought most players wanted all heroes from Judges to eventually be gold.  Maybe I'm wrong about that though.

At the moment they can. Hopefully it will change though.

I'd turn Barak back to red and make deb's ability "May band to a unique ot red wc hero to *yadda*"

Too specific in my opinion to limit it to red.  I'd just say Unique OT WC Human hero.

Not only wasn't he a judge, but he wasn't even a very good fighter.  He was such a weak general that he wouldn't even lead the troops into battle when Deborah told him that God wanted him to.  And since he refused to fight unless Deborah came along, the honor of killing the enemy general went to a simple girl who lived in a tent (Jael) instead of to Barak.

Speaking of Jael, she needs reprinted too.  I nominate the following, which is definitely not OP.

Jael - 5/5 Red WC hero (because a Red female WC hero would be awesome)
"Interrupt Wall of Protection.  May choose a male human EC in opponent's territory to block to search deck, discard pile, or hand for Jael's Nail and add it to battle.  Jael's Nail cannot be negated."

Samuel
3/3 Gold/Green/Teal Hero
-Judge, Tabernacle High Priest, Prophet-
"Reveal opponent's hand. Set aside one card that shares a Brigade with a card found there for two turns."

Yay Hidden Treasures + Samuel + Sammy's Sac = fun

Good catches. I'll change Barak to Red and leave him Warrior-Class (since even if he was a wimp, he was still a commander), and change Deborah's SA accordingly. I don't think it needs to specify unique, since Israelite Archer, Men of Judah, and Men of The Other One are the only O.T. Generic WC EC's.

True, but then you allow a female to band into the big CBN banding chains.  (Just thought of this.)  I don't mind personally, but just keep this in mind.

Hello Guys,

   Thank you for so many idea for Judges, but can you guys please make up some enhancement? I think Judges need negate, negate capture, and access site. Thank you.
