I think it will be safe to assum that there will be a new David's Harp, considering the effect of the new David.

I can tell you there isn't a new Harp. I would have spoiled it if there was. At least one version of David could hold his harp, and we did discuss reprinting it, but ultimately decided not to.

I was hoping on it. Harp isnt that good right now, so I was hoping on improvement. lol

When making new cards, by nature, we're going to make some old cards obsolete. So we make a concentrate effort to breathe new life into old cards as well. There were discussions about reprinting David's Harp. It certainly would be appropriate in the context of the set. Instead, we've essentially added the following ability to the text of both versions of David's Harp:

"If David, the Psalmist enters battle, you may play an Involving Music."

You'll also find at least a dozen other old cards that suddenly have more playability because new cards give them a boost. Thanks for helping me decide what to spoil on LoR tomorrow!

Would have thought Egyptian Treasures would be and artifact instead of enhancement. I'm hoping for a decent boost to some of the existing OT evil themes in this set ad the last two sets were heavily focusef on NT themes.

Then you'll be excited to find out about some of the evil themes in 2 weeks on Land of Redemption!

Can't wait then to see them

cannot express how much i love the new amazing borders!! nimrod's is so ill!!! cheetah print with purple it looks sooo sick!

Spoiled cards from today's article have been added!

Also Joshua received a name change (to Joshua, Son of Nun) and his link/text in this thread have been updated to the new image/name.

Would it be possible for you to indicate which cards are the new one that you added to the list?

Glad to help, mate. and stoked that I got a shout out in the article!.

also, with the new Jephthah, does Ibzan have to be in your deck to be added to battle, or can you add him from territory or hand. I think it is the later, as the wording is similar to AUTO's draw and play ability where you can choose to do one or both of them.

Jephthah allows you to add Ibzan to battle from hand or territory. It's not required that you found him with the search.

Moses is a beast!!!

Moses is basically Isaiah + Isaiah's Call but minus the draw ability and protect purple kings. I think we could also get a Deborah reprint in this set seeing how Barak is here, also Jael too. I hope some of the older canaanite evil characters get reprinted due to their abilities being useful only if facing a certain offense.

Moses is a beast, and I am going to accept it as a much needed Redemption-esque apology for territory class 
The artwork isn't quite doing it for me though, he looks a little burnt.

The alternative was using the Warriors artwork again (which is already on 2 versions of Moses) so we thought it would be cool to switch things up. 

Why couldn't we have used the prophets artwork?

Shocked and disappointed that this artwork wasn't used for Moses.

**image removed**

Rob stopped using Goodsalt art a few year ago, around the same time the card layout changed. So no real surprise that we didn't choose that piece. If we did still use Goodsalt, I find that piece less desirable than the one we chose.

We wanted to use this piece but our efforts to obtain the rights didn't work out.
