A New Card in a New Set!

I have some very exciting news to share!

We have been working diligently on the next set of Seeker's Quest cards! A Book of Mormon set! This set will be called "The Title of Liberty" and it will be based on all of the exciting missionary and battle stories from Mosiah through Alma, and on past Helaman into 4 Nephi when Christ himself comes to America!

We've contracted out a lot of the images and here is a spoiler/sample of some of the new cards, one at a time:

 Verse:  BoM, Alma 17:34

Text: “And he.. stood to contend with those who stood by the waters of Sebus; and they were in number not a few”

Verse Rule: None
Sacrifice Cost: 1
Markers: Strength, Righteous Character: Ammon
Icons: (S)(H)

I always loved this story as a kid. It was cool and exciting, and I think the artist her has captured the excitement and danger of Ammon defending the King's sheep.

Card of the week: Fasting and Service

 Verse:  OT, Isaiah 58:6

Text: “Is not this the fast that I have chosen? To loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens...”

Verse Rule: ABILITY: Add (S)(S) if you sacrificed another Fasting verse to play this verse.
Sacrifice Cost: 2
Markers: Life, Fasting
Icons: (L)

When I first made this card, I thought about a couple of other scriptures. One is in Matthew 6:16. It says, “Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.”

Another is: D&C 59:14-15. That one says this: “Verily, this is fasting and prayer, or in other words, rejoicing and prayer.

“ And inasmuch as ye do these things with thanksgiving, with cheerful hearts and countenances, not with much laughter, for this is sin, but with a glad heart and a cheerful countenance—”

The whole point of fasting is that it should be a joyful gift. Part of making it a joyful gift is doing service while fasting. Give up your own food and comfort, and take care of someone else’s needs. That includes, obviously, a generous fast offering, but it can also be more direct service and gifts of time and effort.

This verse is also in the fasting deck that I made and offer. The idea of the deck is to have 3 copies of each other fasting verse, and other verses that help return verses from the discard. In that way, you can accelerate your own icons to complete books and receive blessings!

Card of the week: Future Perfect

Verse:  GConf April 2017, Dieter F Uchtdorf, Sun AM Sess

Text: “God knows you perfectly. He loves you perfectly. He knows what your future holds.”

Verse Rule: DISCARD 2: Seek any verse, then end your turn.
Sacrifice Cost: 2
Markers: Faith
Icons: FF

This “verse” is one of the Latter-Day voices set, and the text is taken from General Conference of April 2017. I loved hearing this reassuring quote in conference. It’s a chance to look forward into the future with faith that Heavenly Father loves me and has all prepared for me. While I still need to my part, it’s good to know that the path is there.

With that in mind, I made this verse able to reach “into the future” and pull forward another verse from your deck. This allows you to pull one of the verses needed for a combo to your hand.

This is an amazing ability, so I had to make sure that it had some limitations. First of all, It’s a DISCARD 2 rule. That means that you’ll have to discard a total of three verses to be able to seek one. Second, you’ll end your turn immediately after the play, so you’ll have to wait a turn to be able to use the verse you just drew.

All of that means that it’s a Power Verse. It’s a great one to include in just about an combo-based deck!

This verse may be found in the Latter Day Voices Booster Pack!

Card of the Week - The City on the Hill

Verse:  Matthew 5:14

Text: “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.”

Verse Rule: Unique, ALSO, ABILITY: When you play any other verse, you may set another chosen verse into the same chapter.
Sacrifice Cost: 3
Markers: Pearl
Icons: Pearl

This scripture is a great one, where Jesus, in the Sermon on the Mount, tells his followers to go out and do good, and flavor the world (verse 13) or light it up (verse 15,16). The point is summed up in verse 16, to “glorify your Father which is in Heaven”. It’s interesting that we increase God’s glory by serving his children.

This card is a powerful one, that can really speed up your chapter-building. You play it, and from that point on, you set a verse every time you play a verse. That can accelerate things quickly.

To keep things from getting too out of hand, however, we made it unique, so that it can’t be played again. So, if your opponent plays it, close out the chapter it’s in as soon as you can, or play something that removes verses from the tabletop!

This verse may be found in the Scripture Mastery Set!

Card of the week: Show Me My Weakness

Verse:  Ether 12:27

Text: “And if men come unto me, I will show unto them their weakness.”

Verse Rule: You may reveal 2 other chosen verses with a sacrifice cost of 0 or 1 instead of sacrificing to play this verse.
Sacrifice Cost: 1
Markers: Trials
Icons: Faith Trials

Here's a Book of Mormon verse this week!
This verse goes on to assure us that when we humble ourselves, our weaknesses turn into strengths. This is one that has helped me many times throughout my life as I’ve faced my own weaknesses and challenges.

In game, this one allows you to drop a card for free, which can be a nice move in the play phase. That’s especially if you’re about to close out a book and receive some verses from your blessing stack!

Latter Day Voices, New Verses for April Conference!

Here are a couple of new verses for the "Latter Day Voices" set, from this past General Conference.

This first one is from my favorite talk, about how we should celebrate the diverse group that the church is. I love to listen Elder Holland. He always gives me hope.

This other one is from the Priesthood session. It was about serving in your church callings.

Verse Database: Looking Deep

Verse Database: Looking Deep
ID: PRO-SM-014 BSC SM2014 Learning

Verse:  OT, 1 Samuel 16:7

Text: “...For the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.”

Verse Rule: EFFECT: Look at the top five verses of a chosen player's deck. Restack them on his/her deck in any order.
Sacrifice Cost: 2
Markers: Faith
Icons:   F  

It was kind of tricky finding an image for this one, but I’m really pleased with the one I found. It’s a pic of a person’s chest, or heart, but it’s not a drawing or an abstraction, but includes the dress and style of the person as well. We look at the face, the shirt, the suit, but God looks past that.

Combos, tips:  It’s actually a pretty powerful effect. You get to “look deeper”. In play, that means that you can know what’s coming, or you can bury an opponent’s good verse, or bring less valuable ones to the front.
