Joshua is going to be even more of a boss 

Fascinating. I'm always a fan of interesting in-game decisions and flexibility, although a couple of these might be fairly locked in as far as which side sees play in certain decks.

I didn't see Zion's Unity at first so I thought it was going to be a staple. As it is, more Throne buffs! Yaaaaayyy?..

Just for clarification, you CANNOT block with an EC held in a fort, correct? You can only enter/exit during prep?

I wonder if this'll bring Shipwreck back into the meta...

My prediction for #7 is that it's Moabite, possibly Kir. No idea what it'll do - gotta see more Moabites to make that prediction  - but it would make sense since it seems like that theme seems to be seeing some print this year.

I see you there, Raining Fire.

Good guess, but it's not Kir. It is a reprint though

So what are the deck building rules for these when it comes to T2?

Since cities count as both fortresses can I have 5 of the same city per (100-card) deck (2 as sites and 3 more as fortresses) or only 2 (count like sites) or 3 (count like fortresses) or 1 (follow the DAC count the brigades rule)?

Do cities count as neutral or evil/good or both evil/good and neutral (DAC rules)?

Does Zion work when you have no Heroes or does it require at least one Hero for Unity to turn on?

Unity requires that you have at least one of the unity type specified. If unity=0 it does nothing.

Do want to clarify that Ramses was said to only hold O.T. evil enhancements, but that isn't what the ability says.  I'm not sure if it is supposed to be "inherently" evil as it is an evil fortress, but Storehouse could hold evil enhancements even though it was a good fortress, so based on the wording Ramses should be able to hold both.

In his article John alluded to revealing the 2nd UR from FoM. Has anyone figured out the first one that has already been spoiled?

Cities would count as good or evil (like Covenants and Curses).

A. Weren't Covenants and Curses changed to be neutral?

B. If you play a City as it's site half is it not a neutral card since its a site?

If they are activated as Artifacts, then Covs/Curses are neutral.

Same with a City--if it's put in play as a Fortress, it will be good or evil. If it's put in play as a Site, it will be neutral.

Is it Adam? I bet it's Adam. Doesn't look like we've seen a borderless and he has the coolest border.

It isn't Adam. But the answer will be really obvious to the person who falls upon it.

calling it now, Pit of Dothan.

Pit of Dothan was a... City?

Is it the Fall of Man Curse?

Pics or it didn't happen. 

It's the fall of Man card!
