Lazarus, Come Forth – Base Art – Uncommon Gospel Man – AlephTau Set – Bible TCG A Miraculous Rebirth, A Shield for the Faithful Lazarus, Come Forth  is an Uncommon Man Being  from the Gospel Age , costing 2 faith  with an impressive 4 strength  and 4 hope . However, this powerhouse comes with a twist: he can’t interact , meaning he can’t challenge while he has his ability. This unique mechanic turns Lazarus into a strategic centerpiece  for players who enjoy combo potential and layered planning. The Voice That Wakes the Dead When Jesus stood outside the tomb of Lazarus, His words carried life  itself. He didn’t whisper, and He didn’t negotiate, He commanded . The power of His voice shook the realm of death. Every stone, every shadow, every shackle of the grave had to obey. In that moment, the Creator  was calling His creation back to Himself. What had been bound was about to be loosed . What had been hidden away was about to step into the light . The Old Testament gives us glimpses of this authority. Elisha stretched himself over the boy in Shunem and God gave breath again. Elijah cried out over the widow’s son and the child revived. Yet here stood the greater prophet , the fulfillment of every shadow, Jesus Himself, the resurrection and the life. His presence did not just request  life to return, it declared  it with the certainty of heaven’s authority. This card's verse is John 11:44: "And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go." This is the same voice that spoke creation into being. The same voice that thundered at Sinai, the same voice that whispered to Elijah in the still small wind, now called Lazarus by name. And the grave could not refuse. When Jesus speaks, death has no argument . The authority of His word is absolute. Every command of His is wrapped in power, mercy, and truth. Lazarus, Come Forth – Full Art – Uncommon Gospel Man – AlephTau Set – Bible TCG From Tomb to Testimony Lazarus emerged, still wrapped in grave clothes, but alive. This was no partial miracle, this was full restoration . Jesus told them to loose him, because when He brings life, He brings freedom . The Law could command a man to be clean, but only Jesus could make a man alive . This is the Gospel in living color: the Son of God speaking life into the dead, light into the darkness, freedom into the bound. Every believer has heard that call. It may not have been outside a stone tomb, but it was just as real. He called us out of sin, out of separation, out of death. His voice reached into the deepest places and awakened  our spirit. In the moment we believed, we passed from death into life. It wasn’t a process, it was a miracle . Believer , you are alive because the resurrection  has called you forth. You are washed, you are free, you are His. The Gospel of grace proclaims that Christ died for your sins , was buried , and rose again  the third day according to the Scriptures. The same voice that summoned Lazarus now dwells in you through the Spirit. When He calls, every chain falls away, every shadow flees, and you step into the fullness of His light  forever. Strategic Use In Gameplay Lazarus, Come Forth  is designed as a dormant threat , a being with formidable stats that must be unlocked  through external effects. This makes it a fascinating card for combo and control decks, where you can intentionally enable his interaction  through cards like Humble , which clears his abilities, or give him Protect  so he contributes defensively without needing to act. Synergies and Plays: Humble to Activate:  Use a card that humbles Lazarus to remove his “Can’t interact” limitation and unleash a 4/4 body that’s ready to trade or attack immediately. Protective Wall:  Give Lazarus Protect , turning him into an immovable early-game shield that must be challenged first, without needing him to interact at all. Stat Value:  Even without interaction, Lazarus can anchor the board and bait opponent plays while you prepare your win condition. Lazarus, Come Forth – Uncommon Gospel Man – AlephTau Set – Bible TCG FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions Q: What does “Can’t interact” mean? A: Lazarus cannot challenge, and cannot use abilities that require interaction, unless another effect like Humble  removes his ability. Q: How do I use Lazarus effectively if he can’t interact? A: Use effects like Humble  to strip the “Can’t interact” ability, or give him Protect  to make him a required target defensively without the need to act. Q: Is Lazarus worth playing if I can’t remove “Can’t interact” right away? A: Yes. He can stall the board, draw out removal, or support combos indirectly until you're ready to activate or utilize him through synergy.

Behold The Nail – Base Art – Uncommon Gospel Event – AlephTau Set – Bible TCG Reach Forth Thy Hand and Behold Behold The Nail  is an Uncommon Event  from the Gospel Age , costing just 1 faith  and featuring the unique Discern  mechanic, allowing you to choose between dealing 1 damage to a target Being  or restoring +2 hope  to it. This versatility gives you the ability to either apply pressure on the enemy board or sustain one of your own key Beings. The Hand and the Nail When I hear behold the nail , I see more than iron piercing flesh. I see the very name of God  written in that moment. In the ancient pictographs, the name Yod Hey Vav Hey paints the image: the hand, behold, the nail, behold . The crucifixion is not just an event, it is the divine signature, the Creator’s name sealed in blood. The hand of power  reached down, and instead of grasping a weapon, it surrendered to the nail. The same hands that formed the mountains, the seas, and the stars opened wide to receive our judgment. The nail  was not an accident of history. It was prophecy fulfilled, the same truth woven through the Psalms and Isaiah’s words. The Messiah  would be pierced. The One who could summon twelve legions of angels instead gave His hands to be bound. The power of God  is not in force but in willing sacrifice. Each drop of blood from those hands spoke the language of redemption . It is the cost of sin and the price of grace, joined together in one moment that forever changes eternity. This card's verse is Isaiah 49:16: "Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me." I imagine standing with Thomas, looking at those hands. They are not just scarred, they are testimonies . They speak of a love so deep that it took the form of a servant. The risen Christ invites us to behold  and to believe . This is not an empty gesture. This is the fulfillment of the covenant, the moment when the Law meets its satisfaction and grace takes the throne. The same voice that called the universe into existence now calls your name through those marks. Behold The Nail – Full Art – Uncommon Gospel Event – AlephTau Set – Bible TCG The Power in the Wound The wound in His side is no less powerful. Blood and water flowed, the sign of life poured out, the cleansing for the world. This is the fountain  spoken of in Zechariah, opened for sin and for uncleanness. The hand  and the nail , the side  and the spear , each a witness, each a doorway into the heart of God. Here the Gospel  is not words on a page, but the living reality of the One who was dead and is alive forevermore. From Genesis to Revelation, the hand of God  is the story. The hand that formed Adam is the hand stretched out in Egypt, the hand that writes the Law, the hand that holds the scroll, the hand that breaks the seals, the hand that wipes away every tear. The nail  tells us where that hand has been for us, on the cross. The nail  tells us what that hand has done for us, paid in full. This is victory  sealed in flesh. Believer , the hand that bears the nail is the same hand that holds you. You are secure  in His grip. You are redeemed  by His blood. You are sealed  with His Spirit. The Gospel of grace is your foundation: Christ died for your sins , He was buried , and He rose again the third day  according to the Scriptures. You are not left to wonder, you are invited to behold . Look upon His hands, see the truth of your salvation, and live in the fullness of His finished work. Strategic Use In Gameplay Behold The Nail  thrives in decks that demand flexibility  and efficiency . The Discern  keyword makes this card function like two spells in one, able to adapt to either offensive or defensive roles with ease. It’s especially effective in midrange and tempo decks that toggle between aggression and board control. In addition, the fact that it can target any Being , friendly or enemy, opens up strategic interactions not commonly found in single-purpose spells. Synergies and Plays: Apply Pressure or Clear Blockers:  Use the damage option to ping down a 1-hope enemy Being or weaken a larger target for a future trade. Sustain Your Frontline:  Use the restore mode to extend the life of a vital friendly Being, especially one holding Protect. Versatile Event Synergy:  Since it counts as an Event, it's an ideal piece for event combo decks. Behold The Nail – Uncommon Gospel Event – AlephTau Set – Bible TCG FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions Q: Can I target my own Being with the damage effect? A: Yes, but be careful, it will deal 1 damage. Q: Is the Discern choice made before or after targeting? A: You decide whether to deal damage or restore hope, and you choose the target. Q: Does this card work well in combo or tempo decks? A: Very much so. Its versatility helps control the pace of play, allowing it to support burst damage or key recovery turns. Behold The Nail – Uncommon Gospel Event – AlephTau Set – Bible TCG

Samson, Wild Honey – Base Art – Common Israel Soldier – AlephTau Set – Bible TCG Strength Born from Surprise Samson, Wild Honey  is a Common Soldier Being  from the Israel Age , costing 6 faith  with 4 strength  and 7 hope . His Prophecy  ability activates when he’s created , granting adjacent beings +1 strength , a potent board-building tool that rewards proper positioning  and enables synergistic plays in Soldier tribal  builds. The Strength and the Sweetness Samson was a man of supernatural strength  and an unshakable calling from birth. Chosen as a deliverer for Israel, his life was marked by moments of extraordinary power and divine purpose. One day, while traveling, he encountered a young lion that came against him. With nothing but his bare hands, Samson tore it apart through the Spirit of God. Days later, passing by the same place, he found something unexpected inside the carcass, a swarm of bees and honey . He scooped it into his hands, tasting the sweetness born from the victory over the lion. This was more than an odd detail in the story of a judge of Israel. It was a prophetic picture  of Christ. The roaring lion of death and sin stood against us, but Jesus, in divine power, crushed it entirely. And from that place of death came something sweet, pure, and life-giving , the salvation and grace of God. Samson ate of it, then carried it to his parents, letting them share in its goodness. Yet he kept silent about its source. This card's verse is Judges 14:9: "And he took thereof in his hands, and went on eating, and came to his father and mother, and he gave them, and they did eat: but he told not them that he had taken the honey out of the carcase of the lion." That silence mirrors a mystery, how Israel longed for the promises of God yet could not see that they were fulfilled in Jesus. The sweetness of salvation was given , yet the understanding of where it truly came from was hidden from many. Just as Isaiah wrote, "He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief"  - Isaiah 53:3. The sweetness of victory was here, but its origin was veiled until the appointed time. Samson, Wild Honey – Full Art – Common Israel Soldier – AlephTau Set – Bible TCG The Honey of the Gospel In the gospel, we see the perfect fulfillment of this shadow. The Lion of the tribe of Judah faced death head-on and left a feast of grace in its wake. From the place of defeat, eternal life  poured forth. From the grave, resurrection power  was revealed. This is why David could declare, "O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him"  - Psalms 34:8. For those who believe, the honey of Christ’s victory is not only tasted but shared. It strengthens others. It brings joy to those who hear it. It turns the bitter wilderness into a place of refreshing. Every time the gospel is proclaimed, the sweetness of salvation flows from the victory already won at the cross. And unlike Samson’s parents, we know exactly where it comes from, we know it is the work of Jesus, our Champion. Believer , you are a carrier of that sweetness. You hold in your hands the good news  that brings life to the weary and strength to the fainthearted. You walk in the power of the One who has crushed the enemy completely. You taste His victory daily and you are called to share it abundantly. His Spirit gives you boldness, joy, and abundance , and the world around you will be strengthened because you carry the honey of heaven  in your life. Strategic Use In Gameplay Samson brings both board presence  and support utility  in one package. His sturdy 4/7 body  grants resilience, while his adjacent buffs ensure your lineup enters combat stronger. As a Soldier , he fits into decks that value fellow soldiers , and his creation effect plays nicely with event sequencing  or board setup strategies , offering both tempo and synergy. Synergies and Plays: Adjacent Buffing:  Prophecy gives +1 strength  to both adjacent units, place Samson where he can maximize the impact across your board. Positioning Payoff:  Combining Samson with lower-cost Soldiers ahead of his turn ensures your creatures hit harder as soon as he is summoned. Soldier Synergy:  Complements decks built around Soldier tribal themes, think buff lines, teamwork setups, and midrange value tactics. Samson, Wild Honey – Common Israel Soldier – AlephTau Set – Bible TCG FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions Q: When does Samson’s Prophecy trigger? A: It triggers immediately  when Samson is created , boosting adjacent beings instantly that turn. Q: Do the buffs from his Prophecy last only one turn? A: No, those units gain +1 strength permanently , as long as they remain on the board. Q: Is Samson good in non-Soldier decks? A: Yes, he’s still a solid 4/7 body  for 6 faith, but he really shines when paired with other Soldiers  to maximize his adjacency bonus.

Elisha, Double Portion – Base Art – Common Israel Prophet – AlephTau Set – Bible TCG Spirit Empowered, Battles Ready Elisha, Double Portion  is a Common Prophet Being  from the Israel Age , costing 6 faith  with 2 strength  and 5 hope . He brings Zeal  and Abundance , meaning he can challenge immediately and can challenge twice in one turn, ideal for aggressive setups and rapid board control. His design fits Prophet synergy , midrange strategies , and decks that demand flexible offense with a spiritual edge. The Prophet Who Asked for More Elisha’s journey with Elijah was marked by devotion, courage, and hunger for the presence of God . He left behind his plow, his livelihood, and followed the prophet wherever the Spirit led. When the time came for Elijah to be taken up into heaven, Elisha refused to leave his side. Through every city, across the Jordan, he clung to his calling. Then came the moment, a chariot of fire, horses of fire, and Elijah ascending into the whirlwind. In that holy instant, Elisha made his request: a double portion  of the spirit that rested on his master. This was not the request of greed, but of holy ambition. Elisha knew that the mission of God was greater than one generation. He wanted more power, more anointing, more of God’s presence  so he could carry the mantle further. And God answered. Elisha performed miracles that touched kings, widows, soldiers, and nations. The dead were raised, poison was purified, armies were blinded and delivered, and waters were healed. The power of God did not diminish when Elijah left, it increased. This card's verse is 2 Kings 2:9: "And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me." Every miracle, every sign, every prophetic word Elisha carried pointed forward to a greater reality. Just as Elijah’s ministry was completed and his mantle passed to Elisha, so Jesus’ earthly ministry was finished and His Spirit was poured out on His people . He told His disciples, "He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father"  - John 14:12. Elisha, Double Portion – Full Art – Common Israel Prophet – AlephTau Set – Bible TCG The Greater Portion in Christ When Jesus ascended into heaven, He did not leave His people empty. He sent the Holy Spirit , the fullness of God’s power, presence, and wisdom to dwell in us. Where Elijah’s mantle fell to the ground for Elisha to pick up, the Spirit of Christ was poured into the hearts of all who believe. This is the double portion , measured in quantity, quality, in permanence and glory. The miracles of Elisha foreshadowed the abundance of grace and truth  that would come through Christ. The Spirit we have received is not limited to a prophet or a single nation. It is the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead, now alive in His people, equipping us to bring the gospel to the ends of the earth. This is why Paul declared, "Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us"  - Ephesians 3:20. Believer , you carry the life of the risen King inside of you. His Spirit empowers you to speak with boldness, pray with authority, and walk in the supernatural abundance of grace. You are filled with divine power , clothed in heavenly authority , and sent into the world to reveal the glory of Christ. You have more than a mantle, you have the very presence of the One who ascended, and He has entrusted you with His mission until the day He returns. Strategic Use In Gameplay Elisha offers a powerful presence that can race through defenses , just like the prophetic mantle he received works through him. With Zeal  granting immediate impact and Abundance  enabling a second challenge, he’s both a tempo engine and a removal threat. His stats support Prophet tribal builds , and his flexible combat options make him a strong fit for midrange decks  seeking tempo and board dominance. Synergies and Plays: Immediate Pressure:  Strike as soon as he hits the board, with no delay. Zeal makes Elisha a surprise threat that forces responses. Double Strike Potential:  Abundance allows a second challenge, making him lethal in favorable matchups or when trading into smaller threats. Prophet Synergy:  Works well with decks that trigger effects with Prophets. Elisha, Double Portion – Common Israel Prophet – AlephTau Set – Bible TCG FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions Q: What does Zeal do for Elisha? A: It allows Elisha to challenge immediately  when played, bypassing the "created" this turn delay. Q: How does Abundance interact with Zeal? A: Abundance gives Elisha a second challenge  that same turn, effectively enabling him to challenge twice per turn. Q: What kinds of decks maximize Elisha’s value? A: Prophet tribal decks , midrange strategies  seeking early board pressure. Elisha, Double Portion – Common Israel Prophet – AlephTau Set – Bible TCG

Saul, Desired Ruler – Base Art – Uncommon Israel King – AlephTau Set – Bible TCG Power With Conditions Saul, Desired Ruler  is an Uncommon King Being  from the Israel Age , costing 5 faith  with 4 strength  and 2 hope . When created , his Prophecy  triggers, allowing you to Exile a target enemy being  with 2 or less strength . This immediate removal can neutralize early threats or persistent utility beings while deploying a strong board presence. His impressive attack power for his cost makes him a natural fit in midrange pressure decks . The Rise of Israel’s First King Saul was the man the people wanted, tall, strong, and handsome. Israel desired a king who looked like the rulers of the nations around them, and Saul fit their vision perfectly. Anointed by the prophet Samuel, Saul began with the blessing of God  and the support of the people. He led Israel to victories, rallying the tribes under a united banner. In those early days, his reign carried the promise of strength, protection, and order. Yet kingship is not only about power , it is about obedience . Saul was given the authority of heaven, but authority comes with the call to follow the word of the Lord with precision and reverence. The heart of a king in Israel was always meant to reflect the heart of the true King , the Lord Himself. Every victory was to point to Him, every judgment to uphold His righteousness, every decision to be led by His voice. This card's verse is 1 Samuel 18:11: "And Saul cast the javelin; for he said, I will smite David even to the wall with it. And David avoided out of his presence twice." In Saul’s story, we see the tension between human desire and divine will. The people wanted a king who would fight their battles; God wanted a king who would shepherd His people . The throne of Israel was not simply a seat of government, it was a seat of covenant, a place meant to foreshadow the eternal reign of Christ. Saul, Desired Ruler – Full Art – Uncommon Israel King – AlephTau Set – Bible TCG From Saul to the Son of David Saul’s reign opened the way for David, the man after God’s own heart, and David’s reign pointed directly to Jesus. Where Saul’s desire to rule was shaped by the people’s vision, Jesus’ kingship is rooted in the Father’s will . He is the anointed One , not chosen by popular demand, but by eternal decree. Just as Saul began with victory over Israel’s enemies, Jesus crushed the greatest enemy of all, sin and death , through the cross. Saul sought to hold his throne by his own hand, but Jesus reigns with unshakable authority because His rule is established in righteousness. As it is written, "Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre"  - Psalm 45:6. Every shadow of kingship in Israel finds its fullness in Him. His reign will never end, and His people will dwell secure forever. Believer , you are part of this kingdom. You are not ruled by the uncertainty of men, but by the sure promises of the King of kings . His Spirit anoints you with power, His covenant keeps you in perfect peace, and His word assures you of victory. You are seated with Him in heavenly places, your life hidden in His, your destiny secure in His reign. The King you serve is faithful, and His kingdom is yours for eternity. Strategic Use In Gameplay Saul  blends targeted removal  with a dominant physical presence , making him an ideal play against decks that rely on low-strength utility creatures  or value engines . His Prophecy-triggered exile  disrupts enemy development while placing a high-damage threat onto your storyline. He excels in control matchups , counters swarm tactics , and functions as a clean answer to elusive low-strength problems. Synergies and Plays: Exile Small Threats:  Use him to remove supporting enemy beings  with low strength, especially those with powerful ongoing effects. Strong Attacker With Value:  His 4 strength  at 5 cost , paired with removal, makes him a two-for-one  in tempo-focused decks. King Synergy:  Fits well into King tribal decks , where his presence and prophecy effects are amplified by synergy buffs or tutoring mechanics. Saul, Desired Ruler – Uncommon Israel King – AlephTau Set – Bible TCG FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions Q: Can Saul exile any being with 2 or less strength? A: Yes, as long as it’s a targetable enemy being  and has 2 or less strength , it qualifies for exile. Q: What happens if there are no valid targets when Saul is created? A: Then the Prophecy effect does nothing , but he still enters as a 4/2 body . Q: Is Saul better in control or tempo decks? A: He works well in both, but particularly shines in midrange strategies  where his immediate value swings momentum in your favor.

Whenever Daniel challenges , your opponent loses 2 points , a powerful effect that chips away at the enemy while keeping pressure on the board. This Child being offers a deterrent against aggressive challenges, and supports value-focused strategies with consistent opponent disruption. Faithful in a Foreign Land Daniel was taken from Jerusalem into the heart of Babylon, a city of gold and idols, a place filled with voices calling him to compromise. Yet he stood unshaken . The king offered him the delicacies of the palace, the best meats, the richest wines, but Daniel’s heart was set on honoring the God of Israel. He requested only vegetables and water, and his faith was rewarded. After ten days, he and his friends appeared stronger, healthier, and more radiant  than those who feasted at the king’s table. His life in Babylon was a testimony that the presence of God is not bound by location . Even in a land of false gods, Daniel’s faith brought the reality of the Kingdom of Heaven into the courts of the most powerful ruler on earth. His obedience to God’s law was not a lifeless ritual, it was a living expression of his devotion, a shadow of the righteousness that would one day be revealed fully in Jesus Christ. This card's verse is Daniel 1:15: "And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer and fatter in flesh than all the children which did eat the portion of the king's meat." Daniel’s refusal to bow to Babylon’s ways was not rebellion against authority, but an unwavering submission to the highest authority . The God who had delivered Israel from Egypt was the same God who kept His servant faithful in the very heart of the enemy’s empire. Daniel, Inside Babylon – Full Art – Common Israel Child – AlephTau Set – Bible TCG The Greater Daniel Every act of Daniel’s obedience points to Jesus , the true and greater Servant of God. Like Daniel, Jesus entered a world in rebellion against the Father, a place ruled by the pride of man and the darkness of sin. Yet He lived in perfect righteousness, untouched by the corruption around Him. Jesus said, "My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work"  - John 4:34. His life was the bread of Heaven, His every step a testimony of the Kingdom. Daniel’s wisdom confounded Babylon’s wise men, just as Jesus silenced the scribes and Pharisees. Daniel’s integrity brought favor from kings, just as Jesus’ authority brought both awe and hatred. Daniel’s presence in Babylon was a reminder that God’s people cannot be overcome , and Jesus’ presence on earth was the declaration that the kingdom of darkness has already fallen . Believer , you carry this same Kingdom within you. You are in the world, but the life of Christ in you makes you a light that no darkness can quench . You are seated with Him in heavenly places, clothed in His righteousness, filled with His Spirit. You walk as a citizen of Heaven in the midst of Babylon, and your victory is certain because His victory is complete . Strategic Use In Gameplay Daniel  offers a compelling blend of board presence  and value generation , making him a strategic pivot for midrange and control decks.

Bloody Jawbone – Base Art – Uncommon Israel Event – AlephTau Set – Bible TCG Victory with a Vow Bloody Jawbone  is an Uncommon Event  from the Israel Age , costing 4 faith  to deal 4 damage to a target enemy being  and draw a verse . This impactful card merges targeted removal  with resource generation , making it a reliable tool in both offensive and defensive decks. The Jawbone in Samson’s Hand Samson, the judge chosen before birth, was set apart by the power of the Spirit. His calling was not of human strength but of divine appointment. Surrounded by the Philistines, with no sword or spear in hand, he reached for what God had placed within arm’s length, a fresh jawbone of a donkey . With it, he struck down a thousand enemies. The ground shook under the weight of victory, and the jawbone, though humble, became a weapon of unstoppable power in the hands of a man anointed for deliverance. This moment was more than a battle, it was a sign of God’s ability to use what the world sees as weak to bring down the mighty . The jawbone was ordinary, but the Spirit of the living God made it a vessel of extraordinary triumph. What mattered was not the weapon itself, but the One who gave strength to wield it. This card's verse is Judges 15:15: "And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men therewith." Samson stood in the midst of the fallen, his hands stained with the price of freedom. The people saw that God had again delivered Israel, not by the might of an army, but by the Spirit through one man. The victory was complete, and the enemy’s strength was broken. Bloody Jawbone – Full Art – Uncommon Israel Event – AlephTau Set – Bible TCG The Greater Warrior and His Victory The scene at Ramathlehi points directly to Jesus Christ. On the cross, He stood alone, surrounded by the forces of darkness. He did not wield a weapon of iron, but the wooden cross the world meant for shame became the instrument of the greatest victory. By His death, He struck down the power of sin, death, and every demonic force . The Scripture declares, "Having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it"  - Colossians 2:15. Just as Samson’s hand closed on the jawbone, Jesus’ hands closed on the work the Father had given Him. The victory was sure, the enemy was crushed, and the people of God were set free forever. Believer , you walk in the shadow of this victory. The weapon in your hand may seem small, but it is mighty through God  to the pulling down of strongholds. The Spirit who empowered Samson now lives in you. Every battle you face has already been met with the triumph of Christ. You are equipped, you are anointed, and you are more than a conqueror through Him who loves you .

A: Yes, but it will only deal 4 damage, make sure the target has 4 or less hope if you want to exile it. Q: Is this best in control or midrange? A: While it shines in control decks , its draw component also supports midrange decks  looking to manage threats while keeping momentum. Q: Does it trigger Event synergy effects? A: Yes. As an Event, it triggers any effects that activate upon playing an Event. Bloody Jawbone – Uncommon Israel Event – AlephTau Set – Bible TCG

Elijah’s Mantle – Base Art – Holy Israel Event – AlephTau Set – Bible TCG The Cloak of Power Passed On Elijah’s Mantle  is a Holy Event  from the Israel Age , costing 4 faith  and granting a +2/+2 stat buff  and Abundance  to a target being. This powerful spell instantly upgrades a selected unit, enabling it to challenge twice per turn , making it an exceptional card for applying pressure, securing multiple trades, or pushing for game-ending turns. The Mantle That Fell Elijah’s ministry burned with the fire of heaven. He called down rain after years of drought, prayed fire onto a drenched altar, and stood unshaken before kings. Yet his work was not to end with him. When the chariot of fire carried him into the heavens, something precious fell, a mantle , the sign of his calling and authority. It did not fall by accident. It fell for Elisha , who had walked with him, served him, and refused to turn away. The mantle was more than a piece of cloth. It was the transfer of prophetic power , the passing of heavenly responsibility. When Elisha picked it up, he was not taking on a role in his own strength; he was stepping into the same Spirit that had rested on Elijah. This mantle carried authority to act, boldness to speak, and the weight of God’s presence . This card's verse is 2 Kings 2:14: "And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the LORD God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither: and Elisha went over." When Elisha struck the waters with the mantle and they parted, it was heaven’s confirmation that the same Spirit was with him. The power was not in the fabric, but in the God who honored faith .

Young Lion – Base Art – Uncommon Israel Beast – AlephTau Set – Bible TCG 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 . The Roar in the Vineyard Samson was walking toward Timnath, the path winding through the vineyards, when a young lion  sprang upon him. The sudden roar broke the calm, but the Spirit of God came mightily upon Samson , and with nothing in his hands, he tore the lion apart as easily as a man would split a piece of cloth. This was no random encounter. God was setting the stage for a revelation. In the vineyard, a lion rose in defiance, yet in that same vineyard, God’s strength proved greater. The lion in Scripture often carries a double image, at times representing the power and majesty of God, and at other times the strength of an enemy seeking to devour. In this moment, the young lion stood as an obstacle in Samson’s way, a living picture of the forces that rise against the anointed . Yet, by the Spirit, the lion’s strength melted into weakness. The roar was silenced, and the path forward remained open. 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." Later, Samson would return to the lion’s carcass and find honey inside . Out of what once threatened him came sweetness and sustenance. This is the mystery of God’s working, He turns battles into blessings, struggles into strength. The lion’s roar became a testimony, and the sweetness from the carcass became a riddle to challenge others. What began as a moment of confrontation turned into a picture of divine victory. Young Lion – Full Art – Uncommon Israel Beast – AlephTau Set – Bible TCG The Greater Lion Who Triumphs Samson’s lion points forward to Jesus Christ , the true Lion of the tribe of Judah. He too faced the adversary in the wilderness and silenced his roar with the power of the Word. He too confronted sin, death, and the grave, and stripped them of their strength. As Samson found sweetness in the place of struggle, so Jesus brought life and peace from the place of death . Out of the grave came the resurrection, and out of His suffering came eternal salvation for all who believe. The Scripture says, "The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing"  - Psalm 34:10. Every roar that rises against the people of God is answered by the greater roar of their King. The Spirit that came upon Samson is the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead and now dwells within every believer , empowering them to overcome every enemy. Believer , you walk in that same anointing. The roar of the enemy cannot strip you of your hope. The Spirit of the living God rests upon you, making you bold, steadfast, and strong. Every battle becomes an opportunity for God’s sweetness to flow into your life . Every challenge turns into a testimony of grace. You are in Christ, the victorious Lion, and His strength is your strength, His victory your inheritance, His life your life forever . 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 .

This card provides a significant advantage in combat-oriented decks and control strategies, letting key Beings recover and stay on the board longer. Raised for a Purpose Esther’s rise to the throne  was no accident of history, no random twist of fate. It was the hand of God, weaving her life into the fabric of His plan for His people. She began in obscurity, an orphan raised by her cousin, yet her steps were ordered into the royal courts of Persia. Every detail, her beauty, her position, her influence, was given for a moment that would demand courage, faith, and the conviction that God rules over kings and kingdoms . In the days of Esther, the Jewish people were scattered, vulnerable, and under the threat of annihilation. Yet God had already placed their salvation within the walls of the palace. Esther was positioned for a purpose , chosen to stand in the gap between destruction and deliverance. She did not seize power for herself, she was lifted into it by the One who turns the hearts of rulers wherever He wills. This card's verse is Esther 4:14: "[...] and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?" Her story reflects the truth that God exalts the humble  and uses them to accomplish His plans. Just as Joseph rose from the pit to the palace to preserve life, so Esther rose to the throne to preserve her people. Every rise in Scripture is a testimony that God places His servants exactly where they are needed, and at the exact moment they are needed. Rise To The Top – Full Art – Common Israel Event – AlephTau Set – Bible TCG The Greater Deliverer Esther’s bold intercession before the king is a shadow of Jesus’ intercession before the Father . She risked her life to enter the throne room uninvited, but Jesus entered the heavenly throne room with the blood of the covenant , securing eternal life for His people. Where Esther stood in royal garments, Jesus stands clothed in glory , forever interceding for us. In every generation, God has raised deliverers. Moses before Pharaoh. David before Goliath. Esther before the Persian king. Yet all point to the final Deliverer , the One who rose not to a temporal throne but to the eternal right hand of God. His kingdom cannot be shaken, His reign cannot be challenged, and His salvation cannot be undone. Believer , you have been raised with Him. You are seated in heavenly places in Christ, chosen for such a time as this. The same Spirit that positioned Esther now works in you, equipping you with boldness , faith , and authority . You stand in grace, clothed in the righteousness of Christ, and every moment of your life is written into His eternal plan. You have risen with the King , and your place in His kingdom is secure forever. Strategic Use In Gameplay Rise To The Top  excels in decks that prioritize board control  and unit value retention . It’s ideal for protecting vital Beings that serve as engines, defenders, or offensive threats. This Event helps you survive aggressive pushes, reset the board in your favor, or allow a bruised Being to challenge again in later turns. The restoration is not just defensive, it can also be a tactical offensive tool  by reviving a nearly-exiled threat into a dominating force. Synergies and Plays: Restore Hope to Key Being:  Perfect for saving your high-value units from exile, especially after a tough challenge or targeted damage. Favorable Trade:  Allows one of your Beings to take multiple trades across several turns or trade up into bigger enemy threats while surviving. Reverse Patience:  if a Patience trigger is active, you can reverse it by restoring that enemy being to full hope. Rise To The Top – Common Israel Event – AlephTau Set – Bible TCG FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions Q: Can I use Rise To The Top on a Being at full hope?

Q: Is this card better in aggro, midrange, or control decks? A: It shines in midrange and control decks  where unit preservation  and board presence  are crucial to long-term success.

Flock Sheep – Base Art – Uncommon Cattle – Israel Age – AlephTau Set – Bible TCG He Maketh Me to Lie Down in Green Pastures Flock Sheep  is an Uncommon Cattle Being  from the Israel Age , costing 2 faith  and offering a powerful board-establishing effect through its Prophecy  ability. With 0 strength  and 1 hope , Flock Sheep may not deal damage itself, but when created, it spawns two additional 1/1 Cattle Beings , giving you three total Beings  for just 2 faith. The Shepherd and His Flock When I think of the flock of sheep , I see more than a pastoral scene on a hillside. I see the heart of God  for His people. Israel understood the life of a shepherd, leading, guarding, and caring for the sheep was daily work. Sheep depended entirely on the shepherd for direction , for safety , for provision . The flock was never left to wander aimlessly. Every step was guided toward the green pastures  and still waters  that brought rest and life. In Israel’s history, the shepherd’s staff was a symbol of authority and care . David, who once tended his father’s sheep, later became king, yet he never forgot that God was the true Shepherd of Israel. The land itself was like a great pasture, promised by God to His people, a place where He would dwell among them  and where His care would never fail. The flock was more than animals, it was a picture of a nation chosen and protected . This card's verse is Psalms 23:2: "He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters." But this flock was also prophetic. Every lamb, every ewe, every shepherd in the fields of Israel pointed to the coming Good Shepherd . When Jesus walked among His people, He spoke of His sheep hearing His voice, of knowing them by name, of laying down His life for them. The shepherd imagery was not a simple comfort, it was the eternal covenant of care  made visible. The One who created the sheep became the Shepherd who calls them into His fold . Flock Sheep – Full Art – Uncommon Cattle – Israel Age – AlephTau Set – Bible TCG The Shepherd Who Became the Lamb Here is the mystery and the glory: the Good Shepherd  became the Lamb of God . The same One who leads His flock into life offered Himself as the sacrifice that secured it. Every shepherd in the Old Testament stood outside the flock to protect it, but Jesus entered the flock as one of us, fully man and fully God , to take away the sin of the world. When David said "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want" , he was looking forward to the One who would be both the Provider and the Provision . The cross was the moment the Shepherd stood between the flock and the devouring wolf. The resurrection was the moment He led His sheep into the everlasting pasture where no enemy can enter . In His voice is peace , in His presence is protection , and in His promise is eternal rest . Believer , you are part of this flock. You are known , named , and loved  by the Shepherd who gave His life for you. You do not follow a hired hand who flees in trouble, you follow the Shepherd who conquered death for you  and leads you in triumph. You will never be abandoned, for you walk in the care of the One who holds the rod and the staff, the One who makes you lie down in green pastures  and leads you beside the still waters  forever. Strategic Use In Gameplay Flock Sheep  is a high-value tempo card  that thrives in decks looking to develop wide board states quickly. It’s especially effective in Cattle tribal decks , token strategies , or any build that benefits from having multiple Beings on the field. Whether you're looking to overwhelm your opponent with numbers, trigger multiple on-board effects, or set up a powerful combo, Flock Sheep  offers reliable and resource-friendly support.

Angry Hornet – Base Art – Common Israel Creep – AlephTau Set – Bible TCG Sent by God, Stinging in Judgment Angry Hornet  is a Common Creep  from the Israel Age , costing just 2 faith  and offering both immediate impact and long-term value. With 1 strength  and 2 hope , it brings a surprising amount of utility by using its Prophecy  ability to deal 1 damage to a target enemy Being  upon being created. That small sting can be just what you need to clear a key blocker, finish off a wounded foe, or trigger synergies in your Creep-focused strategy. The Hornet of God’s Judgment The hornet  was more than just a stinging insect in Scripture, it was a symbol of God’s relentless judgment  against those who opposed His covenant people. When Israel stood on the edge of the promised land, the Lord assured them that He Himself would fight for them, even through the smallest of creatures. It was a vivid reminder that God did not depend on human strength to win His battles. Even the most insignificant weapon in our eyes  could be the tool of total victory when wielded by His hand. This was not about swarms of insects alone, it was about divine intervention . God promised to drive out the enemies of Israel, not in a single overwhelming sweep, but in measured, unstoppable waves . The hornet represented pursuit , enemies who thought they could hide would be found, those who thought they could resist would be broken. Israel’s conquest was a testimony that God fulfills every promise, in His perfect timing, with His perfect strategy. This card's verse is Deuteronomy 7:20: "Moreover the LORD thy God will send the hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, be destroyed." The hornet was a sign of both judgment and protection . For Israel, it was reassurance, they would inherit the land because the Lord Himself would fight for them. For the nations who opposed Him, it was terror, there was no escape from the reach of the Almighty. The same God who parted the Red Sea could stir creation itself against His enemies. Every sting was a warning: the King of Heaven  defends His own. Angry Hornet – Full Art – Common Israel Creep – AlephTau Set – Bible TCG From Hornets to the Cross This promise to Israel points us to a greater reality in Christ. Just as God drove out the nations before Israel, Jesus has defeated every power that stood against us . On the cross, He stripped away the strength of sin and disarmed the powers of darkness. "Having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it"  - Colossians 2:15. The hornet’s pursuit is a shadow of Christ’s complete victory , chasing down every accusation, every curse, until none remain. The final fulfillment of this image will be seen when Jesus returns and establishes His kingdom in Jerusalem . Every enemy will be subdued, every rebellious heart will face His perfect justice. The same One who gently shepherds His people will scatter His adversaries like smoke before the wind . His reign will cover the earth, and the land will rest under His rule. Believer , your King fights for you. Just as Israel watched their enemies flee before the Lord’s power, you can live knowing that no weapon formed against you can prosper . The hornet was a shadow, but Jesus is the substance. The victory is not fragile, it is eternal. You walk in a kingdom already secured, covered by the blood of the Lamb , confident in the strength of your Redeemer .
