Cards with red text indicate that you must always keep those rules in mind when engaged in a Crusade, and even if that card is not directly engaged, it has effects which are still in play. It may effect all other cards, or, in the case of Flesh, prohibit certain moves.
I found that as I tested it, special rules like those were often looked over and forgotten, so I made the text red so players will catch the cards out of the corner of their eye and reread them as necessary.
The Architect is a card designed to indicate that it controls the fate of many things, hence its extra ability to determine the fate of an opposing card.
Prophet of Prophets, Dreamers, and Forgers all have penalties against Zealots, which is a way of indicating that The Infinite cares more about calm and rational discussion, and that they can get caught off-guard when faced with an irrational opponent.
Forgers is meant to have the double-meaning of a forged document (which the placeholder suggests) as well as the idea of a blacksmith's forge/the act of forging a weapon.
Flesh is meant to portray the idea of a human shield. Unfortunately I couldn't find a picture any better than the South Park joke. Looking at it, I suppose any sort of military picture would be apt for it; although in the end I want to make it less of the common usage of the term, and create a more literal picture for the term "flesh" while still capturing its meaning.
