Very interesting I had felt J was much stronger. In reality I think the Ruth band is still the strongest thing in the starters but if you are forced to use the judges with that deck it struggles.

This still isn't straight I v J packs and pulls make a difference. No cards added I've played 12 (yes I've kept track) games with the starters alone since creation and have a 9-3 adv J granted this isn't a huge sample size but the Ruth search and recursion is way better then Gabriel's.

Post by: DDiceRC on July 23, 2013, 10:25:48 PM: Straight up, we've played 19 games and J has an 11-8 advantage (with I currently on a 5 game win streak to close the gap). The Ruth band is very tough, and Jephthah lets you get rid of a couple of Philistines with weapons before they can enter battle (only once per game, but that's enough). I wonder if I "enhances" better in Sealed because of its colors. (Have to look at my binders and see how purple/silver/black/brown compares with gold/white/gray/orange.)

Post by: Captain Kirk on July 28, 2013, 10:47:06 PM: The results were very similar at MW Regionals. The I deck took 1st through 3rd and I don't remember the rest of the results.

The main difference is that the I deck has one more good negate and one more evil negate and more drawing. I give the I deck the nod as the stronger deck. I have won at least 12 straight games with the new starter decks (about half with each) and they both have their strengths.
