considering it's $0, I think that buying it would be a good idea.

I haven't played it myself, but I heard it was decent.

Is it seriously $0? Like...Cactus will send it to you for free? Or is that just Rob's way of saying it's not available anymore?

you can select whether you want to purchase a booster, a booster box, or a Tin (which I'm assuming is the starter deck). but that was from the info page, not the purchase page.

It's a pretty good game.  It plays a little bit like Pokemon, with the power-ups and all, but the actual battles are a bit strange.  It relies a LOT on drawing the right cards, very luck based.  Fun once you understand the mechanics.  I liked it except that there was a very OP'd card in the expansion pack, and once my brother added it to his deck, I could no longer win.  Sigh.

I might be willing to trade my opened starter set & booster cards for some Redemption, if someone's interested.

It was a rare.  (I think rare was the most uncommon rarity.)

There were tournaments at some point... they had these uber-expensive tables with lights that everyone played on.  Very strange.
