Upside‑Down Kingdom
First Shall Be Last is a 4‑cost Event from the Church Age featuring a powerful Discern ability: choose one of the two following options: deal 5 damage to a target undamaged being, or restore +5 hope to a target damaged being. This versatile card flips the game by either delivering a heavy removal or reviving a key ally.
This card's verse is Matthew 19:30:
"But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first."
Strategic Use In Gameplay
This card excels in mid-to-late game scenarios where flexibility is critical. Whether you need to eliminate a major threat or revive a strategic unit, First Shall Be Last gives you both options in a single package. It fits perfectly in control decks, board-swinging combos, and even survival-focused builds that rely on timing and resource management.
Synergies and Plays:
Discern Removal: Use the damage option to finish off a strong, undamaged enemy Being, especially those shielded by buffs or hope.
Resurrection Utility: Decide to restore hope on a damaged key unit, enabling it to survive further turns or execute another challenge.
Event Synergy: As an Event, it triggers effects and fuels tempo decks that profit from playing multiple events in a turn.
