you cant have a double of a special ability card

Quote

Maximum of 1 of each per 50 cards in a deck:
• Card that has a special ability (text over the picture). Example: A fifty-six (56) card deck may contain only one Authority of Christ, one Repentance, etc. A one-hundred (100) card deck may contain no more than two Authority of Christ, two Repentance cards, etc. A one-hundred fifty (150) card deck may contain no more than three of any individual special ability card.
Maximum of 3 of each in a deck:
• Single-colored Heroes, Evil Characters and enhance ments that do not have a special ability.

Looks to me like you should be able to have one 12/6 Samson and either two or three 6/6 Samsons in the same deck. I'm not sure, but it looks like that would be within the rules.

Edited some stuff. Any more input?

TheKarazyvicePresidentRR · « **Reply #13 on:** December 25, 2008, 08:29:12 PM »

Samson's Strength - for Plauge of hail
Raiders' Camp - For Bow and arrow (gold of course)

Alex_Olijar · « **Reply #14 on:** January 01, 2009, 04:37:38 PM »

Why do you like negates so much here? Battlewinners would seem to be more useful.

EmJayBee83 · « **Reply #15 on:** January 01, 2009, 05:39:58 PM »

What do you do if your opponent plays Journey to Egypt? To help guard against this I would swap out

One non-KoT EC (your choice) for King Elah
One enhancement (your choice) for Rizpah's Sack Cloth
One of something (your choice) for Unknown Nations

I would probably also swap out a second evil character in favor of Jannes, to help ensure you get PTR early. Otherwise you'll might face trouble if your opponent plays either Miriam or Jochabed.

I admit I tend to be overly paranoid about single cards that destroy my entire defense.

Alex_Olijar · « **Reply #16 on:** January 01, 2009, 05:48:51 PM »

Yeah. I havent seen anyone play any of those in awhile. Surprisingly. Jannes/Jambres would both be put in if I add Jannes probably. I'm going to wait on that. Unknown Nation is probably a good idea.

EmJayBee83 · « **Reply #17 on:** January 01, 2009, 06:16:52 PM »

Apparently I'm the only person in the whole Redemption universe that plays Journey to Egypt on any kind of regular basis. Miriam, however, has become somewhat more popular recently as a female green-brigade prophet.

Because 6/6 gives init semi easily.

Alex_Olijar · « **Reply #19 on:** January 01, 2009, 08:52:22 PM »

I play it too MJB, but I don't consider myself a good showing of what Redemptia will play.

I see your point RR, but I haven't had a problem with that yet, so I'll wait before I change anything like that.

Tsavong Lah · « **Reply #20 on:** January 01, 2009, 09:14:38 PM »

I have never once seen Journey to Egypt in all my time playing Redemption in real life and online, but I have seen several Miriams recently.

Blue decks usually have journeys they are annoying

YourMathTeacher · « **Reply #22 on:** January 01, 2009, 09:44:20 PM »

He does have Banks of the Nile that will eventually help take care of the ignore, but isn't there a Lost Soul from RoA that stops the ignore, too?

Confusion of Mind and Golden Calf can also take care of the ignore.

TheKarazyvicePresidentRR · « **Reply #23 on:** January 01, 2009, 09:45:36 PM »

JTE is CBN which means nothing will stop it.

YourMathTeacher · « **Reply #24 on:** January 01, 2009, 09:48:48 PM »

Oops! Forgot about that tiny detail.

Then I guess he will have to hope the Huge Egyptian or his spear finds it first....

And that his opponent doesn't have one of 87 blue cards* that let you get Genesis enhancements out of the discard pile.

*Slight exaggeration here.

Haha, my Blue deck doesn't (and never has) have Journey to Egypt.

Proud to be behind the curve?

Tsavong Lah · « **Reply #28 on:** January 02, 2009, 01:26:29 AM »

Haha, touché. However, since my Blue deck is defended by Egyptians (plus Elah and KoT), I'd be a little worried about people banding to my Journey'd hero to ignore my defense. Maybe I'm just weird.
