If Rogues can ' t heal or Taunt better than anyone else , they better have one of the best proactive game plans of any of the classes . If Rogues aren ' t allowed to heal or protect themselves THEY NEED BURST . But no , all of Rogues minions are understated , and all of Rogues cards are high tempo reactionary . You Prep SapShadowstrike , you get ahead on board and then you lose because you burned all your cards on 1 turn of tempo gain and now you have no way to finish the game , because Cold Blood , your terrible , terrible burst , requires a board . If mages are allowed to just throw damage at the opponents face with spells as their win con , why can ' t Rogue ? !?<| sep |> That ' s CAD <| sep |> Are you nervous ? James asked . Of course not , I replied . I was pacing back and forth across the dormitory of the untested . This is what we ' ve been training for all year isn ' t it ? Yes , it ' s just after this there is no going back . We ' ll never be able to live among the peaceful again . Plenty of Numbered Saints live among the peaceful . It ' s just going to be different . We ' ll live with the peaceful , but we won ' t be one of them , James said . It ' s our duty to protect the peaceful . Being part of the Order is the noblest sacrifice a member of the peaceful can make . James gave me pained expression . He was always questioning how things in the Order worked . He ' d been ' selected ' to join after several violent incidents during his childhood . I , on the other hand , had planned to join the Order of the Numbered Saints since I was seven years old and I came home to find my father murdered in our home . What do you think the final test will be ? I asked . I ' ve heard you have to fight one of the masters , James replied . If you lose they send you back home and if you win they send you to your post . I nodded . This is what I had heard as well . I stopped pacing for a moment . I should be resting . Gathering my strength for the battle to come . I wonder what mode of combat they will select . Kyle , it ' s your turn . An older member of the Order I ' d never seen before beckoned me out of the room . I turned to James and nodded a farewell . My stomach was in knots and I was too afraid to speak . See you on the other side , James said . He went back to reading his book . His test wasn ' t for another month on his 21 st Birthday . I followed the man who had called me . His hair was graying and above his head in red was the number 53 . It was the highest I ' d even seen . I rubbed my sweaty palms on my blue uniform . If I passed I would change out my blue uniform for one in red . I pushed my shoulders back and stood up taller . I had worked hard all year and I was ready . We walked out into a circle of other members of the Order . In the center of the circle was a man on his knees . He wore street clothes and above his head was the number 3 . Kyle Davis , you have been called here to take the final test before entering the Order of the Numbered Saints . It is our duty and honor to protect the Sanctuaries of the Peaceful . The man before you has committed 3 murders in this town and for his crimes must be executed . As you know , no peaceful may enter the Order . If you wish to become one of the Numbered Saints , you must kill this man . It is your final test . I stepped into the circle of men and women in red uniforms and the circle closed behind me . The man ' s arms were tied behind his back and there was an axe next to an executioners block . Of all the final tests I had imagined I had not imagined this one . I had lived among the peaceful all of my life . I thought my first number would be added in battle , but now I could not recall ever seeing one of the Numbered Saints without a red numeral above their head . I picked up the axe .
