Title: The Best Starter Deck?
Post by: 1Thunder1 on January 11, 2009, 08:30:30 PM: I am having an Unofficial tournament at my house and there are a bunch of people coming who have no clue how to play Redemtion and i bought 2 E & F decks and 2 G & H decks i was wondering is there a "best" starter deck or are they pretty even? things i have already noticed are

E:
Really strong banding abilities
lots of extra card drawing abilities
N.T. angels
O.T. humans

F:
strong banding abilities
anti-banding
anti-draw

G:
hand increase artifact
has some really good characters (especially on defense) - "The Guardian"
Moses (all special abilities are negated) - "JSB23"
Red Dragon (immune to humans) - "JSB23"

H:
has lots of battle winners (especially on offense) - "The Guardian"

is there a "best"

if not what are they all good at

which one can be the best?

Post by: JSB23 on January 11, 2009, 09:05:07 PM: Most special abilities + Moses/Red Dragon

Godspeed,
Mike

I would have to check the individual cards to be sure, but I seem to recall that H has the most battle winners.

A: I do well with green offenses.
B: Alot of sneaky cards
C: Moses+meeting in the wilderness
