Yep, this is a set based in biblical stories, legends and other such goodies. I am looking to reprint a bunch of old cards, a lot of them would fit really nicely with the mechanics and draft feel I'm going for anyway. Thanks for pointing out Flood. Must have missed that card, it would fit really nicely.
Yeah, golems are a new kind of token in this set, I forgot to add them to the mechanics page (I just put them there now). I ended up changing this anyway to being an artifact creature that is a golem which has the same ability as the token, as well as cantrips.
Oh yes, good point! I hadn't realised leviathan was a whole creature type with dozens of cards. Hopefully some would fit :)
Fun fact, I only belatedly learned that there are several references to leviathan in the Bible which seem to come from sightly different traditions. One strand is "defeated by God" either at the start of time (like Tiamat), or the end of time. God boasts extensively to Job, " well can you kill leviathan? Can you?" But another tradition based on a reference in Palms is that God made leviathan to play with. In first-ish century Jewish tradition, they took this as far as, God divided the day into fractions, one maintaining the world, one teaching children, and one where Metatron ruled in God's stead while God played with leviathan. I just love that people thought THAT was the most important thing :)
Simple combat trick. Might make cost 1U and give rebound, we'll see.

Colorshifted Angelic Ascension that hits all nonland permanents.
Changed to being a Golem creature itself with the ability and cantrips.
