Disclaimer: I’m just having fun here. I know not all Religious institutions are bad, this is just to spice things up so don’t send me hate mail, thanks.
Ah, Priests. Divine messengers selected by the divine to carry their message by way of mortal mouths. They’re also famous for telling us what we can’t do because it’s too fun. Like no sex before marriage, no drinking, no eating for a certain amount of days because for some reason God wants us to starve to death for some spiritual reason. They seem to be judgmental as to what we can and can’t do and if they had their way, life would be BORING and we’d be tool they’d bleed dry for money because for some reason an ALL KNOWING BEING WHO CREATED THE UNIVERSE NEEDS MONEY!
Speaking of denial…
Meet Jericho Spellbane. He is a Priests of extremes as seen by his effect for removing all attached effects off of one character. This can be anyone, even the Heroes so it has its uses as either a help or hindrance. Mind Control got your Ally that Elementalis took from you to save for a snack for later? Not having that because you see, only Religious institutions have the right to manipulate us and make us feel bad for enjoying stuff they themselves don’t like…like Soccer Mom’s, and Media Watchdogs. Finally got Dual Wield working on your warrior? Opps, can’t use that! Remember, the Earth is to belong to the meek, and meek you shall stay.
Maybe you’re a fan of Poison Gas and or Engulfing Flames because you got a sadistic personality and roll like that. Slowly yet surely you see them die- OH, WAIT he can heal himself up proper due to his powers. While it does seem devastating, Jericho is HORRIBLY overspecialized to be of any significant threat in my opinion which makes the fact that Benumb (congrats) placed as high as he did in the qualifier rounds nothing short of astounding. Either he has one Hell of a deck or got some matchups he could exploit easily. Jericho’s ability is either broken or useless and that is determined by what the opponent is playing. Support such as Plague, Holy Shield and Resurrection could make all the difference in the world when not paired up against something that doesn’t depend on buffs/status effects to get things going.
Overall, he has potential to be a beast, but he’s far too dependent on specific match ups for my liking. I honestly see Benumb’s Jericho deck being knocked out in the first round, but who knows? Divine intervention might make me a believer. Again, only time will tell how this plays out. Three more days till we witness a possible miracle.
Sorry for being so short, but its too hot to stretch this out.
