Elisha, Double Portion – Base Art – Common Israel Prophet – AlephTau Set – Bible TCG

Spirit Empowered, Battles Ready

Elisha, Double Portion is a Common Prophet Being from the Israel Age, costing 6 faith with 2 strength and 5 hope. He brings Zeal and Abundance, meaning he can challenge immediately and can challenge twice in one turn, ideal for aggressive setups and rapid board control. His design fits Prophet synergy, midrange strategies, and decks that demand flexible offense with a spiritual edge.

The Prophet Who Asked for More

Elisha’s journey with Elijah was marked by devotion, courage, and hunger for the presence of God. He left behind his plow, his livelihood, and followed the prophet wherever the Spirit led. When the time came for Elijah to be taken up into heaven, Elisha refused to leave his side. Through every city, across the Jordan, he clung to his calling. Then came the moment, a chariot of fire, horses of fire, and Elijah ascending into the whirlwind. In that holy instant, Elisha made his request: a double portion of the spirit that rested on his master.

This was not the request of greed, but of holy ambition. Elisha knew that the mission of God was greater than one generation. He wanted more power, more anointing, more of God’s presence so he could carry the mantle further. And God answered. Elisha performed miracles that touched kings, widows, soldiers, and nations. The dead were raised, poison was purified, armies were blinded and delivered, and waters were healed. The power of God did not diminish when Elijah left, it increased.

This card's verse is 2 Kings 2:9:

"And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me."

Every miracle, every sign, every prophetic word Elisha carried pointed forward to a greater reality. Just as Elijah’s ministry was completed and his mantle passed to Elisha, so Jesus’ earthly ministry was finished and His Spirit was poured out on His people. He told His disciples, "He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father" - John 14:12.

The Greater Portion in Christ

When Jesus ascended into heaven, He did not leave His people empty. He sent the Holy Spirit, the fullness of God’s power, presence, and wisdom to dwell in us. Where Elijah’s mantle fell to the ground for Elisha to pick up, the Spirit of Christ was poured into the hearts of all who believe. This is the double portion, measured in quantity, quality, in permanence and glory.

The miracles of Elisha foreshadowed the abundance of grace and truth that would come through Christ. The Spirit we have received is not limited to a prophet or a single nation. It is the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead, now alive in His people, equipping us to bring the gospel to the ends of the earth. This is why Paul declared, "Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us" - Ephesians 3:20.

Believer, you carry the life of the risen King inside of you. His Spirit empowers you to speak with boldness, pray with authority, and walk in the supernatural abundance of grace. You are filled with divine power, clothed in heavenly authority, and sent into the world to reveal the glory of Christ. You have more than a mantle, you have the very presence of the One who ascended, and He has entrusted you with His mission until the day He returns.

Strategic Use In Gameplay

Elisha offers a powerful presence that can race through defenses, just like the prophetic mantle he received works through him. With Zeal granting immediate impact and Abundance enabling a second challenge, he’s both a tempo engine and a removal threat. His stats support Prophet tribal builds, and his flexible combat options make him a strong fit for midrange decks seeking tempo and board dominance.

Synergies and Plays:

Immediate Pressure: Strike as soon as he hits the board, with no delay. Zeal makes Elisha a surprise threat that forces responses.
Double Strike Potential: Abundance allows a second challenge, making him lethal in favorable matchups or when trading into smaller threats.
Prophet Synergy: Works well with decks that trigger effects with Prophets.
