He Shall So Come
Promised Return is a 3-cost Church Event that provides immediate impact by making your opponent lose 3 points and letting you draw a verse. It combines direct point pressure with resource gain, offering both tempo and value.
This card's verse is Acts 1:11:
"Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven."
Strategic Use In Gameplay
The card is simple in effect but deep in utility, particularly in control and combo-based builds. While the raw power of a 3-point reduction can stand alone, it’s the synergy with draw mechanics and control decks that really unlocks this card’s full potential. Promised Return is a proactive tool to chip away at your opponent’s game plan while building your own.
Synergies and Plays:
Slow Down Opponents: Against rush or aggressive decks, this event forces them to push harder or lose steam, especially if they rely on tight point margins.
Resource: The extra verse draw keeps your hand full, especially valuable in decks looking to assemble key combos or maintain answers.
Control Combo Decks: Plays beautifully in slower decks that need time to build up powerful interactions or finishers. The point reduction helps create a window of safety while progressing your game plan.
