Cactus Game Design Message Boards

I think Teal and Orange brigade characters need more single brigade color number enhancement cards ( not including the mulit color ones like sword of the spirit brigade color)

In addition maybe some more reprinted or new orange demons  and new priest characters to even out with the other brigades.


The enhancement cards on the Teal and orange nowadays are great but I have noticed not all of them have numbers on them (especially the orange ones).

Maybe in the future cactus game design can make more Teal-Orange characters and enhancements. 


If you have any ideas or thoughts about it please post and share them.




 

rarely in open categories do you find battles being determined by numbers anymore (sadly).

I'm always surprised at how often battles are determined by numbers (although often Special Abilities limit options (like Negate All or Protects) which force numbers to matter more than they would otherwise matter. Obviously a card that only adds numbers won't be useful, but a good card (a battle winner, or something similar) with large numbers (especially offense for good or defense for evil) will often be significantly more useful than the same ability with no numbers. Striking Herod is a good example of a card that is made far more powerful because it is 7/0, since if they are against Demons or in a negate all battle, it can often still win battles even though it won't work. I would totally get behind a few large numbered enhancements for orange, I don't know if teal really needs large number enhancements, but I rarely play teal anyway.

I think the main reason that players may not want enhancements with numbers is so they can do nasty things without losing initiative, that way they can do more nasty things. 

I think Teal should be expanded since it appeals to different denominations (and even Jewish players) more than most other brigades.

I don't think Orange should be expanded. It is fine as a support brigade, but we really don't want young players to become obsessed with demons. Demons are still a touchy topic for parents of young players. I am disappointed that demons continue to be included (and now emphasized) in the starter decks. Trying to demo the starters in a Christian bookstore with pictures of demons tends to be awkward, if not detrimental.

I understand where YMT is coming from, theologically.  But from a Redemption standpoint, that cat got out of the bag ages ago.  It's hard to go back and undo what's already out there. (See: Wars, Angel)  Kids can think that the angels or demons are cooler than other characters for a season, but I don't think it does harm long term.

From a Redemption point of view, I wholeheartedly concur with the original point.  Both teal & orange are under represented- and getting either of them in Booster draft is basically starting one step behind the other colors.

I won a booster running orange and teal (supported by purple) bc no one else took it. Plus the orange banding can be amazing in booster.
