Anointed for Battle, Guarded for Glory


Oil Anointing is an Uncommon Event from the Israel Age, costing 1 faith and granting a powerful blessing to your board. This card gives Anointing to a target friendly Being, which means it ignores the first instance of damage it would take. It's a low-cost, high-impact play that can tip the tide of combat in your favor.


This card's verse is 1 Samuel 16:13:

"Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. [...]"


Strategic Use In Gameplay


Oil Anointing shines as a tactical tool in both aggressive and control-focused decks, offering you a cheap and instant way to protect valuable Beings or secure board dominance through favorable trades. Its ability to delay a key removal, win a challenge, or enable a setup turn without risk, great in Event synergy builds and tempo-focused strategies alike.


Synergies and Plays:


  • Protect Valuable Units: Use Oil Anointing on high-priority Beings to ensure they survive an extra turn, especially when setting up game-winning combos or locking in long-term value.

  • Force Efficient Trades: Apply it to attackers to absorb damage and stay on the board longer, making it a cost-efficient answer to enemy threats in combat.

  • Buff Chains: Combine with cards that trigger off Event plays or prophecy effects to maintain pressure while expanding your tactical options.
