Verse:  OT, Exodus 20:12

Text: “Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land”

Verse Rule:
Sacrifice Cost: 1
Markers: Life, Law
Icons: S     L

I usually quote this one at my kids. Most of the time, one of my sons is getting ornery at me, and talking back, and I’ll say, “Honour thy father and thy mother...” then I pause and get more menacing... “That thy days may be LONG in the land the Lord thy God giveth thee.”

It usually doesn’t work, but I think it’s funny.

Verse:  OT,    Exodus 19:6

Text: “And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation.”

Verse Rule: EFFECT: You may set another chosen Priesthood verse from your hand
Sacrifice Cost: 1
Markers: Life, Priesthood
Icons: S     L

As The Lord was instituting his law with Moses, he clearly saw a need for organization. He established those that were authorized to act in His name. This has always been through the Priesthood.

There are a number of verses with the Priesthood marker. If you’re building a deck and using this verse, have a few more of them, and several copies each. That way, when you play this verse, you’ll likely have one in your hand to drop.

Verse:  OT, Genesis 39:9

Text: “Thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?”

Verse Rule:
Sacrifice Cost: 1
Markers: Trials
Icons:    H TT

This is a great story. The art for the card came from a classic painting of Joseph running and Potiphar’s wife grabbing his cloak. Not only was the temptation a trial for Joseph, but it started his time in prison, another trial! In play, this verse will give you two Trials icons for only a 1-drop sacrifice cost.

Verse:  OT, Genesis 1:27

Text: “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.”

Verse Rule: DISCARD: Set up to two chosen verses from your hand
Sacrifice Cost: 2
Markers: Histories, Event
Icons:    HH  L

This one is based on the idea that God created Adam and Eve. In like manner, you get to set two verses into a chapter. It’s a good way to get a few additional icons into a chapter without a lot of cost!

The cool thing about this is that you can do it in a gap, even in an opponent’s turn. Is he or she about to close up a book that you have no verses in? Drop a couple! Maybe he or she has more icons in it than you do. You can even it up or surpass, and get the extra blessing!

Or maybe your opponent ends his turn, and you’re about to start with too many verses in your hand! Yikes! You don’t want to add those to your blessing stack. In the gap between turns, discard this one, set two more, and suddenly you’ve dropped three verses from your hand, and you’re under the 7-verse limit!

Title of Liberty Playtesting is Underway!

I've been very excited! The first four playtest games of Seeker's Quest - Title of Liberty have been quite successful and very revealing! The first tests have been using only TOL verses in randomized decks. Once I feel that the set is functional, consistent, and unbroken, then we'll do some testing with mixed decks (including verses from the Scripture Mastery set).

Since there's not as many draw or seek verses in this set, the play is very different. Also, a lot of the verse rules play well within specific stories, so I think they cater to preconstructed decks moreso than the SM set. All of that tends to lend itself to play that's more focused on icons and books than on combos so far.

We'll see how that plays out once we get into testing with precon decks. I'm particularly interested in how a battle deck will play out. I'm a bit afraid that it might be broken in a precon deck. We'll have to see!  That's what platesting is for, right?

If anyone is interested in cutting out some cards and trying it at home, I'd sure appreciate it! Contact me at mrkhmusic@yahoo.com, or leave a comment below, and I'll set you up!
