Title: ***The 2 promo cards that almost were!***
Post by: Daniel on July 13, 2014, 08:02:06 PM

So a while back before the I and J decks were released Roy asked me to design a pair of special Redemption promotional cards for his Redemption Donor program. He gave me some basic instructions for the abilities and name but allowed me to create everything else. In the end Rob axed the project however I thought I'd post them!

Finding baby Moses would be abusively good with Moses.

Name on name plus the ability to negate cbp evil battle winners.  Seems like to much although it's pretty cool.

Finding Baby Moses doesn't do anything Moses doesn't already do, except add numbers (aside from the CBN, which is okay, but not good enough to make it deckable). High numbers can be solid, but not enough to merit an add in already cramped spread OT offenses.

The Vineyard is slightly overpowered as an Isaiah enhancement. Hidden Treasures and Isaiah means it can be infinitely recurred to clear out a deck very quickly. Search is more vulnerable than drawing, but it's also more efficient, and in the end, I like it better if it's not something that can be recurred so easily by such a good hero.

The best part is that vineyard can get evil enhancements. Wooooo!

Moses and Covenant with Moses used to be a thing back in the day. Finding Baby Moses is a far better version of it. Good colors too for Transfiguration shenanigans.

I wonder why the program was axed. Exclusive promos are good for the game.
