Mighty In The Scriptures
Apollos, Bold Preacher is a 3-cost Church Man with 3 Strength, 2 Hope, and the powerful Protect keyword. Protect means this Being must be Challenged first, acting as a barrier between your opponent and your other Beings. While his stats are balanced, it's his defensive positioning that defines his value, especially in the mid-game.
This card's verse is 1 Corinthians 10:16:
"The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?"
Strategic Use In Gameplay
In decks that aim to establish a firm midrange board presence, Apollos provides much-needed protection to your more valuable or fragile units. Whether you're shielding high-utility cards, setting up future combos, or stabilizing your storyline, this preacher serves as a solid frontline.
Synergies and Plays:
Protect Others: With Protect, Apollos forces your opponent to deal with him before attacking your more critical Beings or pushing damage toward your Storyline.
Man Synergy: As a Man, he benefits from cards and mechanics that boost or interact with this type, especially in synergy-heavy Church builds.

A: His Protect ability often soaks up multiple enemy actions or trades, giving you more time to develop your board safely.
Q: When should I play Apollos in my curve?
