[Preacher_Man]

And I say unto thee, thou blasphemes the good name of the Lord by assosiating Him with this foul and satanic game!

 

[Nightstalkers]

You can see that they are biblical names and WotC would not use the names because of that very reason.

 

[Spiderman]

I think the guy is just making cards for himself and not trying to get WOTC to use them...

 

[laxweasel]

OW!
Ummm...thanks a lot. Actually, that is just the list of finished cards. Admittedly, those cards are all my ideas, but as soon as I find Biblical passages fitting for these cards (made by other people) they will made and posted too.

[Azreal the Soulmaster]

overall i like these cards, but you have famine and plague backwards, famine carried the scale

5} When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come!" I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. {6} Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, "A quart of wheat for a day's wages, and three quarts of barley for a day's wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!"

get it.

 

[Nightstalkers]

We were at one of your church's and the "Priest" mentioned a passage that described a tank perfectly. Quincidence?

 

[Shiro, Time Devourer]

This game isn't a false lead to anyone who has a firm enough grip on reality. Also, these are just quite relevant what-if cards. in addition, thank God *literally* , the theme has toned down to the point of generals and strategies. It only gets real odd in the case of Torment and the evil legends (where it makes sense.)
