The Roar That Weakens
Young Lion is an Uncommon Beast from the Israel Age, costing 3 faith with 2 strength and 2 hope. When created, its Prophecy ability triggers to set the strength of a target enemy being to 1. Perfect for Beast archetypes, tempo-based trades, and midrange pressure.
This card's verse is Judges 14:5:
"Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnath, and came to the vineyards of Timnath: and, behold, a young lion roared against him."
Strategic Use In Gameplay
Young Lion shines in decks that value disruption and board presence. Its Prophecy effect doesn’t deal damage or exile, but softens enemy threats, enabling your other Beings to take more favorable trades. As part of a midrange or Beast-oriented deck, it offers tempo control and reactive plays, especially against high-strength targets.
Synergies and Plays:
Disarm Enemy Threats: Lowering an enemy being’s strength to 1 often neutralizes its offensive potential and sets it up for easy removal or a favorable challenge.
Beast Synergy: Integrates seamlessly with other Beast cards that scale from board presence, protection mechanics, or Prophecy triggers.
Midrange Utility: With modest stats and a strong entrance effect, Young Lion adds value at a key stage of the game, offering both threat mitigation and combat readiness.
