The High Priests' guards are considered sadducees, are their servants?

High Preist's Maid isn't, I would say no unless only female servants aren't allowed to be Saducees.

She isn't currently, but I could definitely see where both could be identified as such, especially if Temple Guard is classified as one.

Neither of them are Sadducees.  I've tried to get them both classified that way in the past and failed to convince TPTB.  ;)

Malchus was among the other officers of the Chief Priests, I can't see how he's not considered a sadducee like the Temple Guard.

Not sure about Chief Priest's Maid.

I think either Temple Guard and Malchus should both be Sadducees, or neither should be.

But have you tried since you became a PTB?  ;)

Malchus was a servant of a Sadduccee, not a Sadduccee.

Temple Guard is a guard and was never named a Sadduccee. I don't know why he was classified as one. Because he is printed on the card as a Sadduccee, that will have to be a mystery never to be solved. In short, it will have to stick.

I agree that TG should remain classified as a Sadducee, but I also think that Redemption should work its standards around that. I hate "exceptions to the rule".

Hey,

We do have precedent of a card having an identifier on the card and the identifier being errataed off (King Ahaz).  Although if you say Temple Guard isn't a sadduccee then the G deck has a crimson enhancement that can only be used by one black evil character and a black enhancement that can only be used by one character in the deck.

Tschow,

Really?  You wouldn't be happy to add any of the awesome brown/gold stuff from Disciples to your defense?  What about an Aaron that can band to your Moses?  Or Eli's Sound Advice?  That all seems pretty amazing to me! ;D

Terrible if you got the H deck, and prepare to lose the game you're about to play and a few after.

Fixed.

The G deck has NT Crimson/Black on defense, and an OT Green/Gold offense. The H deck has a NT Purple/White offense (featuring 2 disciples already), and an OT Gold/Brown defense.

Main cards good of G deck offense: Aaron, Behold the Lamb, John the Baptist, Kindness
Main cards good for G deck defense: Disbelieving Sadducees, Philetus, Peter's Curse (I guess), Questioning Christ's Authority, Scribe, Tennants Kill the Son, Herod's Temple

Main cards good for H deck: ... almost everything else.

The odds are weighted heavily in H's favor.

Even if there are more useful cards to G deck, H deck is better by itself...
An Aaron moses band would be almost impossible to deal with in sealed.
