Title: Joe?
Post by: Nameless on November 26, 2011, 10:14:10 AM
On all of Jacob's sons except Joe it says Patriarch and it does not on Joe. Was this forgotten or on purpose?

I am just using Reuben as an example.

It was left off on purpose. I don't know the intention behind why it was originally added to the earlier printing of Jacob's sons but it doesn't serve a purpose so it was left off of Joseph.

Is that to say there will never be a card that targets Patriarchs?

With so many Genesis cards left to print there's no way to accurately answer that question. But I'm not aware of any that are "in the works" right now.

Ah, ok. Thanks! :)

I'd guess it's because there never was a tribe of Joseph, since his sons Ephraim and Manasseh became the tribal namers. That doesn't mean he isn't a patriarch, but I can see why he might not have been thus named.
