Matriarch of Promise
Sarah, Heir’s Mother is an Uncommon Woman Being from the Hebrew Age, costing 5 faith with 3 strength and 5 hope. Its powerful Pray +2 damage ability means every time you play a non-Being event that deals damage, she deals 2 additional damage, an incredible asset in decks built around event damage. Pairing strong offense with tribal synergy and resilience makes her a formidable presence.
A Mother’s Faith, A Promise Fulfilled
The story of Sarah, once named Sarai, begins in the shadow of impossibility. Her body, aged and barren, held no natural hope for birth. And yet, God spoke directly to Abraham, her husband, and made a promise as radiant as the stars: from them would come the child of promise, one through whom all the nations would be blessed. This promise required more than patience, it required faith.
But as years passed, and doubt prevailed. In a moment of human reasoning, Sarai gave her maidservant Hagar to Abraham, seeking to fulfill God’s word through human effort. From that union came Ishmael, a son born of effort, performance, and natural strength. Yet even then, God’s covenant had not changed. The true promise was still coming, not through man's strength, but through divine intervention.
This card's verse is Genesis 21:10:
"Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac."
When Isaac was finally born, laughter filled the tent, the joy of a miraculous promise realized. But that joy was soon tested. Ishmael, representing a path of works and law, mocked the child born of grace. Sarah, discerning the danger, boldly declared: “Cast out the bondwoman and her son.” Not in hatred, but in prophetic vision, the child of performance would not share the inheritance with the child of promise.
Cast Out the Law, Embrace the Cross
Genesis 21:10, where Sarah speaks these words, carries far more than family tension, it carries a spiritual revelation. The Apostle Paul would later echo this scene in his letter to the Galatians: “Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son…” – Galatians 4:30. Hagar and Ishmael represent the old covenant, the law of effort and obligation. But Isaac is the image of grace, received freely through faith.
Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of the promise made to Abraham. He came not by human striving, but by the Spirit of God. Just as Isaac was born to Sarah through divine intervention, Jesus was born of a virgin, untouched by sin, sent as the heir of all things. And through His cross, the inheritance of life, blessing, and favor was opened to all who believe, not by law, but by grace.
Believer, today we do not inherit because of what we have done, but because of what He has done. The call to “cast out the bondwoman” is a call to reject legalism, refuse performance, and fully embrace the liberty of faith in Jesus. Those who cling to law cannot partake in the inheritance of grace until they surrender to the truth of the cross.
Sarah stands as a matriarch of faith, her life a parable. She reminds us that God always fulfills His promises, not by might, nor by power, but by His Spirit. Every believer, like Isaac, is born of promise. Every inheritance, like his, is secured by the faithfulness of God. Let the law go. Let performance fall. Lift your eyes to grace, and laugh with joy at the goodness of your God.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does Pray +2 damage work exactly?
A: When you have a Pray ability, it automatically adds extra damage to non-being deal damage verses. So if you have a being with Pray +1, and you play an event that deal 1 damage, then it will deal 2 damage.
Q: Do buffs or support affect her strength?
A: Yes! Fortifying Sarah with spells or abilities that boost strength or enhance Woman synergy might keep her on your storyline longer, making her even more dangerous.
Q: Is she best used mid or late in the game?
A: Sarah shines mid-game onwards, once you’ve built up Pray beings or you're holding combo pieces in hand. Her stat line and Pray bonus make her a late-game finisher with combat flexibility.
