I was a little bored the other day, so I messed around with my old card-making kit. See what you think:

Like. Much better suited for Luke/John than the old one.

Shouldn't opponent draw four, since Zaccheus promised four times as much as he taxed?

Great card though!

+1 on D4 rather than D3 but otherwise fantastic in all regards!

Ah, that's right. The law said to repay 3x, but he did 4x, didn't he? Ah well. Glad you like it anyway...

How do you use/or get the card making kit???
My "kit" consists of Paint.NET (a free image editing tool), a probably outdated version of Gimp (a free PhotoShop), a font guide, a compilation of usable images from free online sources, and a combination of templates that are apparently from BrianGabe and Mosestaff. If I recall, there's a sticky thread somewhere containing information on how to obtain all these things.

That's one of the most pro new card ideas I've ever seen, and you used GIMP? The only thing that looks anything but Cactus is the identifier.

What about the artist? That's not Cactus.

I didn't notice anything off, and looking again I still don't, but it's been a while since I held a card.

The artist, identifier, and the abilities (5/2) are the wrong font, but everything else looks right.

I think the reference font is off, too. But all those nit-picky things aside, great card! Definitely helps with the Luke/John theme like RW said, and I like the symbolism behind the ability (it matching what he actually did). Nice job BB. :)

Thank you. I aim for those goals with every card I make. :)

I know that some of these fonts are off, but they are the closest I can find, and they really look pretty good I think.

In the SA, it should state "your opponent" not he because there are ladies that play redemption also.

Masculine gender is acceptable when true gender is unknown.

How is that OP'd?

I think the card is great, it fits the story well and looks decent.

Care to explain how the card is OP? Everyone else on the thread has been saying it's balanced.

Perri is probably thinking that my deck doesn't need another card like this... ;D

I would love to abuse Zach in a side battle, especially if I had Simon the Zealot.

Half my playgroup would be quite irritated at that statement.

As to the card, don't the other Luke/John cards say "must" when referencing drawing?

Must isn't needed. If it isn't a may, it's a must.

Makes sense.  I just brought it up because all the other L/J stuff I have says "must"

I think being able to take a card from your opponent, theoretically, every turn is OP.
May you prosper greatly!

Umm... yes! There are ladies that play, thank you very much!

And as to assuming masculine when gender is unknown, that's just sloppy. Why would it say "unknown", if it really meant "male"
