Okay, so first off, welcome to the boards. Enjoy your time here. The longer you stay, the more you grow to love it.

Now for the deck. I counted 79 cards without lost souls. You would need 12 lost souls to make this deck legal. That's really far too many cards. Cut it down to 56. The more fluff you have the more likely you are to draw it and clog your hand with worthless stuff. The Buckler isn't going to do anything for you. Cutting about 2 brigades should help. The sites won't help you, you can drop them. Since you're new, I really don't want to build your deck for you, but those are two basic rules--the less cards and brigades, the better. Take it from there!

Welcome to the Boards do not spam or double post, no bad language or swearing, use correct grammar and spelling.

For your deck, I would try to made it 56 cards. (Next time you post a deck put it under deck build and design).

WELCOME TO THE BOARDS!!!

I like that you are using cards that a lot of people wouldn't expect, like leper. But There isn't A lot of oomf in it yet. Good start though  ;) ;) ;)

Just a random question: How long have you been playing redemption?

God Bless!

OK I know that it is legal. I am just saying that decks that are 56 to 50 cards normally do better than bigger decks ( unless the bigger decks watchful servant or Gates of Samaria).

modifying the post (the deck list) is a good Idea, Just click on the icon in the bottom right.
Do this to delete white since you took that out.

The forum -does- have mods for a reason, feel free to let them do their jobs.

At any rate, like the others have mentioned, welcome to the forums! I remember first coming here in July 2008. It feels like an eternity ago.

Leper is a horrible card,

By decreasing their defense you give heroes initiative and 0/2 per turn is nothing, in T-1 the game will be half over before you can kill any hero with it...

Welcome to the boards, etc, etc, etc.  Don't worry, the mods got your topic in the right place.  Feel free to roam around and learn as much as you can.  Feel free to ask all the questions you have.  Most of us are pretty friendly, and despite my name, I don't bite.

As to your deck, I'd suggest going with Gold, as it's a fast (draws a lot) defense with the new cards, and you've already got some of the cards.  One card in particular to look out for is Failed Objective, which comes in Angel Wars.

At any rate, like the others have mentioned, welcome to the forums! I remember first coming here in July 2008. It feels like an eternity ago.
Funny how you've been here over twice as long as me, and I'm 7 times as awesome as you (going strictly on postcount).

But against banding abilities its great because they rely on their numbers too defeat you

The only band decks there are have someone who negates everything except banding.

But if they didn't have that card out then the wold be in trouble and another thing if you had a 9/9 person and leper and he had a 10/10 and he kept rescuing all you had to do is use leper and your 9/9 could toke him out

Really, Leper isn't that great.  He doesn't win battles, and that's what you need to do to win the game.

I understand what you're saying, it's just you happen to be wrong.  :P

As your opponent's character gets close to */0 that means they get to play the first enhancement, which means you will lose the battle. In Redemption big numbers are bad unless the character can negate enhancements.

 +1 If you had evil characters that negate in the deck Lepper would be better, but sill not the best.
