New Redemption Grab Bag now includes an assortment of 500 cards from five (5) different expansion sets. Available at Cactus website.
I don't like having a target on my head just cuz I sit down to play a friendly game of type 2 multiplayer.
But some times you just want MJB to lose by 7, so you have to block him.

As a person who has played T2 multi games where I have been hit with double-digit dominants, I don't understand this plaint at all. If I have an early Falling Away in my hand, I would have absolutely no qualms about playing it against either of you even if you were behind. People do the same to me.
I guess that's what we get for winning. Bryon came over one game at nationals and had to give a warning to the other two players at one of my games. They would only block each other if they could hurt me somehow, and all dominants went on me, and I was the only one really being blocked. I'm playing type 2 multi at nationals this year and I haven't played sine California because of that game, so I'm hoping it goes better. My favorite type 2 multi games are the top table ones, where you know everyone is a potential threat, and everyone knows what they are doing.

yes, it is also frusterating when someone announces before the game, "this guy is really good play all your dominants on him".
But I have been the target of a gang, so I know what you guys mean.
I am thinking BD, with the new cards and all, will take away a lot of the new players from type two multi (the nature of it exculdes many new players right of the bat anyways). I bet it is going to be small yet quite skilled type 2 multi. Should be a blast.
That said if I am at a table with two average players and someone of the caliber of you or Justin you are going to get targeted until there is a reason to go after one of the other two. Now, am I going to play SoG defensively to stop you from getting your first LS? No, but I would have absolutely no compunction against using a Falling Away against you even if one of the other players was nominally ahead (say 3-2 or 3-1). At that point you are still going to be the biggest threat to me winning the game. That is one of the burdens that superior players need to bear.
