Crown of Thorns – Base Art – Common Gospel Event – AlephTau Set – Bible TCG

The Strike That Silences

Crown of Thorns is a Common Event from the Gospel Age, costing 2 faith and providing an extremely efficient two-part control effect. It deals 2 damage to a target enemy being and Humbles it, shutting down its abilities for the remainder of its presence on the field. This kind of precision disruption makes it an ideal inclusion in decks that need to answer dangerous threats, shut down abilities, and keep tempo going.

This card's verse is John 19:2:

"And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe,"

Strategic Use In Gameplay

Crown of Thorns stands out as a rare fusion of removal and silence for just 2 faith. Unlike single-purpose damage spells or conditional disables, this Event guarantees that a threat not only takes a hit but loses its greatest strength, its ability. Whether you’re facing off against a combo piece, a protector, or a powerful passive effect, Crown of Thorns offers an answer. It also plays well into event-driven synergies and fits neatly into midrange, tempo, and control archetypes that want to gain an edge without overspending on answers.

Synergies and Plays:

Humble Synergy: Combine with cards that benefit from Humbled enemies to further punish ability-heavy opponents or disable mechanics that would otherwise snowball.
Remove Threats: Take down or neutralize problematic enemy beings by reducing their stats or pairing this with other damage for efficient clearing.
Stop Powerful Abilities: Perfect counter to cards that rely on persistent effects or on-enter triggers, by humbling them, you nullify their impact for the rest of the game.
