Can I target a captured character in my opponent's Land of Bondage with Foreign Sword and return it to the top of deck? I believe the answer is yes since my understanding is the captured character is considered a "neutral card."
Foreign Sword - "Negate an opponent's evil or neutral card. If used by a Canaanite or Philistine, you may return that card to the top of owner's deck."
Also, is there a working list yet of Canaanites? The following are the only ones I can think of right now.
Good:
Ahimelek the Hittite, Ishmaiah the Gibeonite, Uriah the Hittite
Evil:
Abimelech, Bera King of Sodom, Gibeonite Delegates, Lot's Wife, Lot's Daughters, Prince of Tyrus, Shechem, Sisera, The Woman of Thebez
I read through Bryon's 1st article again (http://cactusgamedesign.com/red_game_articles_2011-1.php) and read his definition of Canaanite.
"When we began designing the Canaanites as a theme, we first had to define Canaanite. What people qualify as Canaanites? There were several different groups who lived in the land of Canaan, and only certain ones called themselves Canaanites. We decided to use the passage from Genesis chapter 10 that mentioned the man named Canaan, who was the ancestor of the Canaanites.
"Canaan was the father of Sidon his firstborn, and of the Hittites, Jebusites, Amorites, Girgashites, Hivites, Arkites, Sinites, Arvadites, Zemarites and Hamathites. Later the Canaanite clans scattered and the borders of Canaan reached from Sidon toward Gerar as far as Gaza, and then toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboyim, as far as Lasha." - Genesis 10:15-19
Any tribes and clans on this list are deemed Canaanites in Redemption, as are subgroups of these tribes and clans. For example, the Gibeonites were a subgroup of the Amorites and Hivites, so they are Canaanites."
However, I couldn't think of other Redemption characters that fit such a description.
