Jeshua was the father of Joiakim, Joiakim the father of Eliashib, Eliashib the father of Joiada,  Joiada the father of Jonathan, and Jonathan the father of Jaddua.

Do we have Jeshua, Joiakim, Eliashib and Joiada? If so then when Jaddua comes out, we could have a deck based off one family... only 6 characters, but being priests it could work...

Does he band to Joiada as well as Jonathan? (Jonathan is his father by the way...)

oh no, I don't know what Jaddua's ability is... but I ever so hope he can band to Joiada.

in other words, Haggai is the greatest character next to Joiada.

Jacob, Seraph, Haggai, Joiada. welcome to my type 2 deck. Good game.

I doubt it. The trend so far has been priests banding to their sons, so I don't imagine him banding to his grandfather.

but SOMEBODY besides Haggai needs to band to Joiada, and that'd be awesome! and they're in the same family! so, perhaps he doesn't have a son... has anybody ever heard of these guys?

... look them up. Their whole lineage is in the bible. It's kinda where the cards are coming from.


Lol at all the Y names being translated with Js, though.

Its pretty common.  If my memory serves it is because of the pronunciation.

Actually, they were all originally Y names in English as well up until the advent of the letter J several years after the translation of the bible. I'm not really sure why they were edited, though. The Hebrew pronunciation isn't anywhere near a "J" sound.

and lol xD YMT jokes. Oh how I miss them.

shucks, I thought he was supposed to protect himself, OT heroes, and OT fortresses from discard. Oh well, this guy's (not) almost as good.

Seriously, this card is wyn. House of E/Z Temple banding is ownage.

Maybe Jaddua will be able to band to Haggai. :dunno:

I wouldn't be surprised. I also wouldn't be surprised if there was a "bonus" ability as well.

I think it's decent... but I think we take for granted that it's another Z-temple priest. Which means it's very easy to make him not be able to be removed from the game, captured, or converted. That alone makes him good.  :)

Why is a Z's Temple Priest that has next to no SA "overpowered"?

ZT priests don't need s.a., just banding and large numbers. Its like Armor bearer all he has is a banding ability but it helps in banding chains ;)
