From Shepherd to Sovereign


David, God's Heart is a Holy King Being from the Israel Age, costing 7 faith and bringing a rich blend of mechanics to the battlefield. With 5 strength and 3 hope, this card comes with three impactful keywords: Protect, Anointing, and Resurrect. These mechanics ensure defensive power, resilience, and a token-based aftermath upon exile, making David a flexible play for control, buff combos, or swarm strategies.


This card's verse is 2 Samuel 7:8:

"[...] Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, from following the sheep, to be ruler over my people, over Israel:"


Strategic Use In Gameplay


David, God's Heart thrives in builds that appreciate board control, token creation, or resilient King synergy. His Protect keyword forces your opponent to deal with him first, while Anointing shields him from the first instance of damage. When finally dealt with, Resurrect unleashes five 1/1 cattle, offering a new wave of utility, whether for defense, sacrifice combos, or positioning-based buffs.


Synergies and Plays:


  • Board Protection: The Protect and Anointing combo makes David a durable shield that holds down the frontline.

  • Combo Enabler: The five 1/1 cattle created on exile synergize beautifully with buff-centric strategies.

  • King And Cattle: Though a King in type, David’s Resurrect effect leans heavily into Cattle tribal decks.
