Don't use orange!

New Raven BR · « **Reply #2 on:** May 04, 2009, 08:37:31 PM »

or Red

Bryon · « **Reply #3 on:** May 04, 2009, 09:53:59 PM »

or black. Black is weak.

But seriously, pick a favorite theme and buy the tin(s) that support that theme. The tins are full of great cards and boosters, too.

JSB23 · « **Reply #4 on:** May 04, 2009, 09:56:53 PM »

To start out I'd suggest priests and babylonians

YourMathTeacher · « **Reply #5 on:** May 04, 2009, 09:58:21 PM »

Use primary colors for the heroes and secondary colors for the bad guys.

Red Dragon Thorn · « **Reply #6 on:** May 04, 2009, 10:23:13 PM »

since when has teal been a primary color?

YourMathTeacher · « **Reply #7 on:** May 04, 2009, 10:28:09 PM »

Old Testament times.

i have to disagree with ya bryon.
i'm playing a black defense and i have to say it's very decent and has quite a load of deadly cards.
and combined with crimson, dang! crimson and black are a very deadly combination

It's a forum joke Andy.

Hm...I suppose Crimson maybe has a little blue in it. $:-\$

Oh yeah, by the way, purple is super weak; nobody plays purple anymore, especially not with Authority of Christ. That card is terrible.

Bryon you also forgot about little old weak Red

I am sure new players/members are confused by forum jokes though. That is why I try to refrain from telling them of my n00biness from the get-go.

So in all seriousness:
1. Keep your Type1 deck small. (It allows you to draw your good cards and dominants faster)
Ideal decks are between 50-56 cards. You can go as large as 63 but it can be harder to get to the much needed SoG.
2. Try to keep your offense (crosses & Bibles) and defense (dragons & skulls) down to one color each. When starting out you will not be frustrated or confused with which Bibles to support which crosses and same with Defense.
3. Pick colors that you have the most "battle winners" in. Battle winners are cards that end the battle in your favor: Generally, they discard, capture, convert, remove, shuffle your opponent away from battle. There are more but look for those cards that take your opponent out of battle.
4. Sites are generally good, and help stall your opponents.
5. Artifacts help support what you are hoping to do, but generally speaking only 3-4 are needed per deck.
6. Lost souls with special abilities are awesome and help slow your opponent down.

These are some great things to go by, and they help you start with a strong foundation from which you can explore the nuances of redemption (with card combos).

not using orange is not a forum joke. I honestly don't think orange is tournament worthy. or red. I wanted to use red, but my idea was suicide attempts, and that can be done more effectively with other characters like Ehud and Michael

Harhahahaha your funny. Imo Orange is only playable when combo with anouther brigade and Red has been a top playing muscle brigade since Warriors so I dont know what your talking about

And don't use the Garden Tomb fortress, PLEASE.

(This is a joke, and Garden Tomb can be quite powerful. It's just the current bane of my favorite deck

crustpope · « **Reply #20 on:** May 05, 2009, 01:23:36 PM »

Oh and dont listen to anything Raven says

go ahead and use garden tomb and have the most boring games ever...

New Raven BR · « **Reply #21 on:** May 05, 2009, 01:27:05 PM »
