Strike Down The Leaders
Forty Stripes Save One is a 2-cost Church Event that delivers one of the cleanest and most powerful forms of removal in the game. For just two Faith, you Exile the highest Hope enemy Being, effectively removing their strongest presence on the board, regardless of its Strength or abilities.
This card's verse is 2 Corinthians 11:24:
"Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one."
Strategic Use In Gameplay
This Event shines in control decks, tempo strategies, and builds that rely on cheap but impactful plays. By focusing on Hope rather than Strength, it bypasses high-stat bruisers, ignores Protect, and nullifies Abundance or Resurrect effects, making it one of the most efficient answers to dominant threats.
Synergies and Plays:
Great Removal: Cleanly eliminates high-hope threats that would otherwise take multiple turns to deal with.
Tempo Advantage: At just 2 Faith, it lets you keep pressure while dismantling the enemy's most fortified Being.
Control Strategy: Combine with verse-draw tools to maintain card advantage while shutting down heavy enemy boards.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What happens if multiple enemy Beings share the highest Hope?
A: You'll choose one of them to be exiled.
Q: Can this bypass Protect and Anointing?
A: Yes. Because the effect exiles rather than dealing damage, defensive traits like Protect or Anointing are irrelevant.
Q: Is this better than damage-based removal?
A: In many situations, yes. Especially against Beings that have high Hope or are resistant to typical forms of damage.
