Scared Enemy – Base Art – Common Israel Event – AlephTau Set – Bible TCG

Fear Takes Hold, Strength Crumbles

Scared Enemy is a Common Event from the Israel Age, costing only 1 faith and offering a deceptively strong board-control effect. It sets target enemy Being’s strength to 1, making even the most powerful foe vulnerable to low-cost trades and easy removal. As a cheap and flexible Event, it’s a perfect inclusion in decks that rely on tempo, trades, or event-trigger synergies.

Fear Melts Before the Presence of God

When Israel stepped across the Jordan, they carried more than swords and shields, they carried the presence of the Lord. Every step toward the promised land was a step into destiny, into the place where God’s covenant promises would unfold. The cities ahead were fortified, the armies fierce, but the fear of God went before His people. Nations trembled, because the God who split the Red Sea and shook Mount Sinai was now moving into their territory.

This was more than military conquest. The Lord Himself promised to drive out the inhabitants, to set the stage for the story of redemption that would play out on that very soil. This was the land where kings would rise, prophets would speak, and the Messiah would walk. The conquest was not just about land, it was about history, prophecy, and eternity converging.

This card's verse is Joshua 1:9:

"Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest."

God strengthened Israel for the task. He filled them with courage, boldness, and zeal. The enemy’s strength melted away before the One who holds all power. Every victory was a testimony, every battle a step closer to the throne of David, and from there to the eternal throne of Christ.

From Joshua to Jesus

The same God who went with Joshua goes with us. The battles in Canaan foreshadowed the greater victory in Christ, the One who disarmed principalities and powers, making a public spectacle of them. The enemies of Israel fell before the sword, but the enemies of our soul fall before the cross and resurrection of Jesus.

When God commands strength and courage, He supplies it. The same Spirit that filled Joshua now fills the Church. The land ahead may look impossible, but the victory is certain. The presence of the King changes everything, and every stronghold falls when He goes before us.

Believer, you are never on the battlefield alone. The Lord your God is with you wherever you go. His power makes the enemy weak, His Word makes your heart strong, and His covenant keeps you secure. You walk in the confidence of Christ’s finished work, advancing into every promise with boldness, because the victory is already yours in Him.

Strategic Use In Gameplay

Scared Enemy is a high-utility, low-cost card that functions as a soft removal tool, weakening key threats and allowing smaller Beings to challenge efficiently. It creates opportunities for favorable board swings and plays a major role in enabling event-driven abilities, especially in mid-to-late-game scenarios where every trade counts.

Synergies and Plays:

Trade Efficiency: Use Scared Enemy to neutralize a strong opponent, letting one of your smaller Beings safely challenge it and win the trade.
Event Synergy: Triggers prophecy and other effects that rely on playing Events, making it a combo-friendly inclusion in many builds.
Mid-Late Game Value: Especially useful against high-strength Beings, giving you a cheap answer when more costly removal isn’t available or is being saved for later threats.
