Power Declared From Above
Tongues Of Fire is a 2-cost Church Event that grants +4 Strength to a target friendly Being for this turn only. This is a tactical, explosive boost with immediate board impact, capable of swinging trades, applying aggro pressure, or removing problematic enemy Beings in a single blow.
The Sound of Heaven
A rushing wind filled the house. Flames appeared, resting upon each one. The fire of God’s Spirit had come, not to visit, but to dwell. At Pentecost, Jerusalem overflowed with Jews from every nation, gathered for the feast. Each carried a different language, a different tongue, a different accent of heritage. Then it happened, every man heard the wonders of God in his own language. This was not confusion, this was divine clarity. Heaven’s voice reached every ear in the language of their heart.
The gift of tongues is a miracle of intimacy. It bypasses the limits of the mind and lets the Spirit pray the perfect will of God. It can proclaim the gospel to nations in languages never studied, and it can speak mysteries only heaven understands. The same Spirit who filled that upper room still fills His people today. Tongues of fire are not a relic of history, they are a present reality.
This card's verse is Acts 2:4:
"And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance."
The Old Testament saw God scatter languages at Babel, but Pentecost was the reversal. Through Jesus, God brought unity without erasing diversity. Every nation, tribe, and tongue finds their voice in Christ. And with tongues comes the gift of interpretation, so the word spoken by the Spirit can also be heard with understanding, bringing edification to the church and glory to God.
The Flame that Strengthens
Tongues are not noise, they are power. The same fire that rested on the heads of the apostles rests on every believer who receives. It is a weapon against fear, a river in prayer, a strength in battle. Paul wrote that speaking in tongues builds up the one who prays, and interpretation builds up the body. This is God’s design for a strong, united church.
Just as the Spirit gave the disciples supernatural boldness to speak before thousands, He also gives His people today the boldness to declare His truth across barriers. The gospel is the message of life, and the Spirit is the voice that carries it. The fire strengthens not only your words, but your heart to carry them.
Believer, you carry the same Spirit who spoke through tongues of fire. Your voice is a vessel for the word of God. You can pray in the Spirit, sing in the Spirit, and even hear the Spirit interpret what is spoken. You are a part of God’s Pentecost movement, bringing His word to every tribe and tongue.
Strategic Use In Gameplay
This Event doesn’t provide long-term buffs, but in the turn it’s used, it makes a massive difference. +4 Strength allows even modest Beings to take down giants or push through for lethal damage. As a flexible combat trick, it's ideal for trade dominance, closing out games, or protecting your board's key pieces by eliminating threats proactively. It’s a temporary, yet potent, burst of power, a tool perfectly suited for fast decks, mid-game aggression, or critical turn setups where you want a breakthrough moment.
Synergies and Plays:
Trade Advantage: Turn a low-cost or midrange Being into a threat that clears bigger enemies, swinging tempo in your favor.
Aggro Tool: Enables massive damage output on your turn—particularly useful for pushing lethal or breaking defenses.
Surprise Removal: Use it to remove enemy Beings via combat instead of relying on dedicated removal cards.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the Strength bonus last beyond the current turn?
A: No, the +4 Strength effect only applies until the end of the turn. Afterward, the Being returns to its original Strength.
Q: Can I use this on a Being the turn it's played?
A: Yes, but you can only benefit from the Strength bonus if the Being can Challenge that turn.
Q: How does this compare to permanent buffs?
A: This is burst damage, not a long-term investment. It’s stronger than most buffs for a turn but offers no lasting value. It's ideal for a single key play.
