About the same time as Duke Nukem Forever, probably.

... oh wait. That's a real thing now. Huh.

Everyone should watch out for YMT's trading thread to see what he's trying to get and trying to get rid of... ;)

On a somewhat related note, the newest article can be found here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iSRr3ZuLL8#ws).

Weren't you the one who was complaining about people seeing the cards early because they've got connections?

Also: Yay for add-ons that check for Rickrolling links!

Well, once you've had enough of these silly games, you can bypass the need for an article by seeing the actual proof copy of the new cards (by tin). I have a link to the pictures of the proofs that I took at Southeast Regionals on Friday night. Go to the Southeast Regionals thread in Official Tournaments and look for results post (near the end of the thread). The last proof page has those neat stickers that go on the bottom of the tins so you know what is in each one.

No. I was the one complaining that people use innocent animals to create screen names. PETA ftw!

I sent Rob the article a week ago (at 1:55 a.m. last Thursday morning).  I stayed up late getting that done so that you all could get your article 2 weeks after the previous one.  I didn't realize that Rob was going to be swamped with a trade show at the time, and with the Southwest Regional tournament immediately afterwards.  This week he must be playing catch up with orders.  Hopefully he will get a chance to post it today or tomorrow.

We are already due for article #4 NEXT Thursday, which is 2 weeks before nationals!

Well, this is, like, the best weapon out there.

Well, that's a sure fire card to find its way into many decks. So long protect fortresses...

Can I am Grace target the weapon if it is used on a hero? If not, please tell me there are ways to discard or negate good enhancements in play (ie evil TC enh, etc).

Can I use the weapon to place my opponent's Assyrian Camp on top of his deck and then use my active Holy Grail to convert his Assyrian before he can block?

Yes. That would be in line with the idea I can convert your Philistine gotten with Outpost before you block as far as I can see.

Touche, a year out of the game allowed that brilliant play to escape my mind. I had that happen against me last season...

I think the best indicator of new articles will be when I don't have internet.  So if I stop posting, then everyone start pestering Byron.

the reg doesn't list canaanites. Do we already have some red canaanites or are they all in the new set?
Title: Re: Is Article #3 Coming out soon?
Post by: Warrior_Monk on July 26, 2011, 08:58:56 PM
Aren't all Philistines also Canaanites? Doesn't that make the "or a Philistine" a bit redundant?

As far as I know, the new Canaanites are all evil, and black brigade.

Uriah is a canaanite, I think

Post by: browarod on July 26, 2011, 09:07:12 PM
If you read the article closely, it mentions some red Canaanites (or were they Philistines?) in one of the new tins. So, there will be both good and evil Canaanites and Philistines, I believe.

I do not think that all Philistines are Canaanites, though I'm not sure about this.
Title: Re: Is Article #3 Coming out soon?
Post by: Josh on July 26, 2011, 09:10:47 PM

All the new Red Warriors are Canaanites (at least in that article).  Uriah, Ishmael, and Ahimelech.  They are all mentioned in the article and designated as Canaanites.
Title: Re: Is Article #3 Coming out soon?
Post by: Bryon on July 26, 2011, 09:36:03 PM
Correct.  All three new red heroes this year are Canaanites.
As hinted in the article, there is already a female Canaanite hero.

The article about Tower of Thebez explains the Redemption definition of Canaanite (which matches Genesis).  Just because you live in Canaan doesn't make you a Canaanite, or else all the Israelites would be Canaanites, too!  The ancestry of the Philistines is not known for certain, but many believe that they arrived by ship and were originally an island people, possibly even Greek!

I only know of one currently printed Canaanite: Sisera.

Title: Re: Is Article #3 Coming out soon?
Post by: Bryon on July 26, 2011, 11:28:45 PM
Right.  The existing evil Canaanites are listed in the Tower of Thebez article.

Caleb was a Hittite, so doesn't he qualify as a Canaanite for redemption? Also, doesn't Jael qualify as a Canaanite?

If I'm reading correctly, Abraham, Lot, Isaac, Jacob, and Esau should qualify as good Canaanites as well.
Title: Re: Is Article #3 Coming out soon?
Post by: TechnoEthicist on July 27, 2011, 09:48:07 PM
Jael's husband was a Kenite who is of the subgroup of Hamathite who is a descendant of Canaan, we know nothing of her actual origin...gotta love patriarchal societies :P
Title: Re: Is Article #3 Coming out soon?
Post by: Bryon on July 27, 2011, 10:20:32 PM
Jael's husband was a Kenite, but there seems to be some disagreement over whether this was a Canaanite family.  Jethro was a Kenite, and he was living in Midian.  We've treated Jethro as a Midianite, though I don't know if we should classify him as a Canaanite based on ancestry.  Some Kenites lived in Canaan.  Some in Midian.  But by birth, are they all Canaanites?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenite

As for Jael herself, her name is Hebrew for a desert animal called the Nubian Ibex.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yael

Is it possible that she was the Israelite wife of a Canaanite (or Midianite) man?
