I, for one, can't wait until only purple and clay decks are viable. The Old Testament is boring anyway!

What was wrong with the artwork on the old Rhoda? That would have been much better.

For those that didn't see the set on Facebook, here's the gist on False Prophet's TexP icon: "Note that the False Prophet card has a different icon. It has a Treasures icon because the card in not part of the early church theme though included in the mix. There are a couple of these in Phase 1. They are special chase cards if you will."

It would be nice if these special cards had an UR border to distinguish them from the other cards and actually make them feel like they are harder to find.

Probably because his power comes from the Beast. It's similar to the reasoning behind Damsel With a Spirit of Divination.

I wonder if the 'chase' cards really are chase and harder to find.

I guess Chamber of Angels will be useful to recur AuTO Angelic Visitor. 

Yes Chamber of Angels will recur Angelic Visitor, but if you have Chamber out and use Angelic Visitor's self discard ability it will be insteaded to Chamber and he won't be able to search your deck.

Is it just me, or is The False Prophet worded oddly?

"Negate good Convert."

Shouldn't it be "Negate good Convert abilities." or "Negate good Conversion"?

I understand that thought, but it is probably that way for two reasons: First, it is already a very long ability.  Second, it means the same thing.

You don't necessarily need the word "abilities" for that to be implied, it is fine how it is.  Anything that is good and converts qualifies as "good Convert".

New redemption lingo:

Negate convert.

Discard any card in.

Holder may reveal.

Search deck for a.

The main issue I have is that it creates confusion when there's no need to have it. People who aren't on the boards get this card, and assume it's a misprint. Does it negate convert abilities? Convert enhancements? Heroes with convert abilities?

I think it should say "Negate good Conversion...". That would move "in" down a line and possibly "from" which would make it look more even anyway.

I would still just prefer to have "abilities" in there, but I'm way more okay with this than I am with what's printed.

So we have the grammatically incorrect False Prophet, and the offensive Judaizers. Who are the illiterate racists that are making the new set anyway?     

So this is somewhat of a tangent but I since the new set has come up again as a topic, and I didn't say this last time, I want to point out how great the new set is for booster since that was a concern people had had for it.  The new packs have 3 FooF, 3 RoA, and 3 kings, which are incredibly good card pools to have for booster, even if every single card you get from the new set is worthless for booster.  And the odds of every card you get from the new set being worthless is very low, as there are sites and evil cards you have to draft from even if all the good cards are worthless to you as clay cards.  And even if you are forced to pick a clay card, sometimes just having a hero is worth a lot.

If anything, I'd say the new packs have the best card pool for booster of anything in quite a long time, and that I am super psyched to play some booster next season.
