Rest From Their Labours

Patient Saint costs 1 Faith and is a Child Being from the Wrath Age, with 1 Strength, 1 Hope, and the Protect keyword, requiring it to be Challenged before anything else can be. This makes it an ideal unit to set the tone in early rounds, shielding key parts of your storyline and providing a secure frontline for development.

This card's verse is Revelation 14:13:

"And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them."

Strategic Use In Gameplay

In low-cost early game strategies, Patient Saint excels as both a defensive piece and a tribal synergy tool. Its Protect ability forces your opponent to go through it before reaching more valuable targets, making it perfect for shielding more fragile or important beings. As a Child, it also contributes to Child synergy decks, where multiple low-cost units can swarm the board and scale over time.

Synergies and Plays:

Solid Opening Defense: A 1/1 with Protect ensures your opponent can’t easily start attacking more critical beings on your storyline.
Child Synergy: Excellent in tribal builds that reward playing multiple Child types, enabling swarm tactics or triggering special effects.
Support Shield: Protects high-value units or those setting up combos, allowing you to build your board state with fewer interruptions.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does Protect actually do?

A: Protect means that this Being must be Challenged first, your opponent cannot challenge you or your other Beings until this one is dealt with.

Q: Is it worth playing a 1/1 unit in the late game?

A: While it's strongest early, Patient Saint can still serve a protective role later by absorbing a hit or defending a more important unit from being attacked.

Q: Can I buff this unit to make it more threatening?

A: Absolutely. Adding Strength or Hope buffs can make this protective unit a surprise attacker or a long-term defensive wall.
