Quote from: Arrthoa on March 02, 2013, 12:11:36 PMMaybe a purple Peter and Andrew since they are the only non purple disciples left besides a hero Judas or reprint of MatthiasI'm guessing we see reprints of Peter and John (as Purple/Green) and Andrew (as just Purple). Andrew will band to Peter, I predict, not the other way around. And Peter and John will probably have clauses in their abilities that don't let them use Hidden Treasures (or at least not play AOCP preblock).

I started of cheering with excitement only to end with a chorus of boos.
John is fine as is. I do think James could be better, he is very useless except for a band
Yes. Each starter decks contains Son of God, Angel of the Lord, Christian Martyr, and 7 lost souls.I just spoiled 20 cards in 1 sentence.
The new starter decks are supposed to be the best teaching tool the game has seen and give new players a good first impression. As someone previously mentioned, Lost Soul drought is not fun. We've made considerable effort to ensure that is rarely an issue.
As a holiday gift, I'll give you a clue - maybe two. More than one correct answer is possibly true.An out of print staple will see print once more and a three version Hero is soon to be four.
They're 50 cards, OT vs OT, NT vs NT
I'd like to see additions to Canaanites (evil). I think they're due for an update.

The next Redemption release by Cactus Games will be a starter deck.That starter deck will contain each of the brigades that were not used on a card in the 2011 release.The Dominants used and character counts will not be exactly the same as we've used in the past starters.One old Dominant is probably going to receive a new ability.If nothing changes between now and the final draft, there are 19 enhancements and 19 characters being reprinted into the appropriate brigade for their theme, most with new abilities.
Rob wanted some super well-known heroes in the starters this year. Players have already guessed Peter and Andrew, and there are a couple more VERY well-known heroes from that theme in that deck. Those are the only human heroes in that deck. Since we wanted the starter decks to be very simple, we have included some characters in each deck that do not have special abilities. There are 3 O.T. heroes with no special abilities in the starter decks - all in the same brigade. Two of those are very well-known Bible characters. But not having special abilities might actually be seen as a benefit in that theme. The second good theme in that deck is a secret.Oh, and there are more than 100 cards being printed this year.
I made a thread about this last year and here's all the confirmed info that came up during that (accurate as of each posting, which was almost a year ago, lol):Quote from: Gabe on April 28, 2012, 01:53:07 PMThe next Redemption release by Cactus Games will be a starter deck.That starter deck will contain each of the brigades that were not used on a card in the 2011 release.The Dominants used and character counts will not be exactly the same as we've used in the past starters.One old Dominant is probably going to receive a new ability.If nothing changes between now and the final draft, there are 19 enhancements and 19 characters being reprinted into the appropriate brigade for their theme, most with new abilities.Quote from: Browa's SourceRob wanted some super well-known heroes in the starters this year.

A new James would be nice. I would like to play an awesome version of the disciple I was named after!
This post confirms and nearly confirms so many things it's crazy. Demons, Disciples, and Silver confirmed. Ruth seems likely. And the only offense that benefits from no special ability right now is Judges. So, there's your offense. Gray had no cards from the 2011 set, but that could mean Pharisees, Romans, or Syrians.
I think we have enough Disciples. We need to expand the themes that are too weak to stand alone. Magicians are versatile enough because of their dual-brigade format. We need more Deacons, Musicians, Persians, Greeks and Heretics. We could probably use more Canaanites, too.
Believe so, anyone remember what the reprinted text was?
I would rather see A and B tier themes get a handful of new cards (and give weak themes a building block boost) than see weak themes get a ton of cards.
