The next set will include cards of every brigade, but will NOT include cards for every theme or culture.  So, we cannot guarantee that what you put here will even be considered, since your culture or theme might not even get a single new card next year.  However, in case your favorite culture or brigade IS getting some cards, is there a particular weakness that you wish would be improved?

Now is the time to make your requests.  We are not looking for full card ideas, just holes you'd like to see filled.

Finish the sentence:

I wish (this culture theme) had a way to _____________ .

musians!!! i have played them in tournemts and people can stop them realy easaly    (c marter on heman, any cards that stop forts on musaisn chamber, and any card that stpos bandine( that leaves coat of many colers to be able to use enhasments other than white, there chenaniah alwos you to band two any colred musian bot it still doesent give you alot of options.))
they need afew cards that will make them a viable option.
just my $1.53

I wish that Red/David's soldiers, had a way to make the older (usless) enhancements more viable in a deck.

I am not sure about this part (not real familiar with the newer cards).I wish that Red had some answers to evil Fortresses.

I wish that we had a new theme of Canaanite clans. Maybe not any one particular brigade, but several split color enhancements.

I wish that cross brigade Banding had an answer to all the cards that penalize you for doing so.

Modified to fit the requested format. 

There are plenty of unique demons out there... (Kot, PotW, The Theif, all four multi-colored ones...)
I think demons need a unique way of site lock.  For example, maybe cards that give them perks when a certain number of souls are in sites (like corrupted).
I'd like to see Persians get support in general (characters).
I wish Sadducees and Pharasees had more help and more of a way to mesh together.

I'd really like to see a dynamic wherein a special ability causes opponents to swap hands.

Or EVEN better, A New Beginning reprint where the players swap decks prior to drawing eight and starting a new turn.

I think the "fun factor" would increase exponentially with those type of special abilities.

I wish Romans had a protect fortress.

First of all, I would really like for Deacons and Apostles to become serious one-brigade themes: probably Deacons in blue and Apostles in purple.

I'd like all three of the priests' temple/tabernacle themes to become equally and significantly viable by giving benefits when their respective fortresses are out, making ways to bring those fortresses out and back from the d/c quickly, and making useful temple/tabernacle artifacts specialized for them.

I really want Musicians to get a battle-winner of any sort. They should also get at least one more character - maybe a David reprint.

I also wish Daniel heroes had a battle-winner and more characters, including a Daniel reprint. They should be given a really unique strategy besides crimson protection, perhaps combined with the ability to collaborate with Angels.

I don't want to make Red like every other brigade, so I think what it really needs is a way to work without necessarily having to get initiative, like a protection of some kind. A card that would give Red brigade heroes protection from CBN/CBI abilities would be awesome for it's negating theme.

Luke/John heroes need a way to combat demons.

Judges need better publicity. Some reprints of the judges would be much appreciated, but I think they have everything else they need.


Greeks definitely need something - anything - to make them a unified theme. Of all the themes in the game, this one is definitely the worst right now.

Syrians really need either good non-capture battle-winners or ways to get rid of capture protection.

I want to see Brown's Persian and Israelite themes pick up, and the willy-nilliness of the characters to decline.

Demons need more developments on their bottom-of-the-deck theme, hopefully in the form of cards that can affect Angels.

Magicians and Herods simply need to continue their trends set by TxP.


And put all that in the "I wish..." form.

 That is an very interesting idea.  It would definitely force someone to get use to playing other decks and styles.  I like!!!

Yeah, play green and gray.  Search for that card and fill the rest of your deck with junk.  Brilliant!  Better yet, play your SoG/NJ as fast as possible, then play this card.  Brilliant!

Do we have a name for the new ones yet?

If they're still working on the themes to use, they probably haven't made the cards yet. Even if they have, they surely won't release information until summer.

I think its pretty obvious they don't have the cards made yet.  I was just curious if they were bouncing around names or if they had decided on them, I understand that they release the cards at the same time they release the rest of the info (Name, themes....yada yada yada.)

Do you have a projected date Bryon? Or still thinking? 

Just curious

I really don't think prophets need anything; they're probably the best good brigade out there.

I wish red actually was tournament worthy. I've NEVER found it viable. maybe a CBN character?

I wish gold had an easy why to stop all the haters like Miriam and Journey to Egypt.

I wish Garden Tomb had some more power. 

Musicians should once again reign. they aren't bad, to be sure, but they certainly aren't amazing like they should be.

Herod's would be pretty legit.

King Cyrus to be printed. I've been wanting him since before Priests.

Babylonians should have site killers with their babylons. and more crimson that plays off of them, like "Discard hero with */X or less. X is equal to the number of babylonian sites in play. Cannot be Negated." things like that, but better.

Strengthen the bottom-drawing tactic with orange, I wouldn't mind if there were a couple more dual-brigade orange cards either .

An Orange demon named Chaos is necessary.
