A Miraculous Rebirth, A Shield for the Faithful

Lazarus, Come Forth is an Uncommon Man Being from the Gospel Age, costing 2 faith with an impressive 4 strength and 4 hope. However, this powerhouse comes with a twist: he can’t interact, meaning he can’t challenge while he has his ability. This unique mechanic turns Lazarus into a strategic centerpiece for players who enjoy combo potential and layered planning.

The Voice That Wakes the Dead

When Jesus stood outside the tomb of Lazarus, His words carried life itself. He didn’t whisper, and He didn’t negotiate, He commanded. The power of His voice shook the realm of death. Every stone, every shadow, every shackle of the grave had to obey. In that moment, the Creator was calling His creation back to Himself. What had been bound was about to be loosed. What had been hidden away was about to step into the light.

The Old Testament gives us glimpses of this authority. Elisha stretched himself over the boy in Shunem and God gave breath again. Elijah cried out over the widow’s son and the child revived. Yet here stood the greater prophet, the fulfillment of every shadow, Jesus Himself, the resurrection and the life. His presence did not just request life to return, it declared it with the certainty of heaven’s authority.

This card's verse is John 11:44:

"And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go."

This is the same voice that spoke creation into being. The same voice that thundered at Sinai, the same voice that whispered to Elijah in the still small wind, now called Lazarus by name. And the grave could not refuse. When Jesus speaks, death has no argument. The authority of His word is absolute. Every command of His is wrapped in power, mercy, and truth.

From Tomb to Testimony

Lazarus emerged, still wrapped in grave clothes, but alive. This was no partial miracle, this was full restoration. Jesus told them to loose him, because when He brings life, He brings freedom. The Law could command a man to be clean, but only Jesus could make a man alive. This is the Gospel in living color: the Son of God speaking life into the dead, light into the darkness, freedom into the bound.

Every believer has heard that call. It may not have been outside a stone tomb, but it was just as real. He called us out of sin, out of separation, out of death. His voice reached into the deepest places and awakened our spirit. In the moment we believed, we passed from death into life. It wasn’t a process, it was a miracle.

Believer, you are alive because the resurrection has called you forth. You are washed, you are free, you are His. The Gospel of grace proclaims that Christ died for your sins, was buried, and rose again the third day according to the Scriptures. The same voice that summoned Lazarus now dwells in you through the Spirit. When He calls, every chain falls away, every shadow flees, and you step into the fullness of His light forever.

Strategic Use In Gameplay

Lazarus, Come Forth is designed as a dormant threat, a being with formidable stats that must be unlocked through external effects. This makes it a fascinating card for combo and control decks, where you can intentionally enable his interaction through cards like Humble, which clears his abilities, or give him Protect so he contributes defensively without needing to act.

Synergies and Plays:

• Humble to Activate: Use a card that humbles Lazarus to remove his “Can’t interact” limitation and unleash a 4/4 body that’s ready to trade or attack immediately.

• Protective Wall: Give Lazarus Protect, turning him into an immovable early-game shield that must be challenged first, without needing him to interact at all.

• Stat Value: Even without interaction, Lazarus can anchor the board and bait opponent plays while you prepare your win condition.
