Thing is, people are crying about "smaller" sets, but in reality they're just as big if not bigger in terms of good cards. Almost every single Disciples card is usable, most are good, and there are only a couple fluff cards. Huge sets that we've had in the past were rife with fluff, so in terms of real size, Di is same size or bigger than booster expansions.

Although I don't deny that judges could certainly use a boost, is it safe to assume it's not Luke Heroes, Herods, Egyptians or a new gold theme?

Luke Heroes need no boost, I can assure of that, but give them one anyway cause they are my favorite. Good Samaritan and Master's Table FTW!

This set doesn't have a name.

Or, rather, it has two names.

"The New Set" and "Hey, we should start testing soon"?

Gabe · « **Reply #28 on:** May 04, 2011, 04:04:24 PM »

Testing?!??! We let the players do that after we release the cards.

SomeKittens · « **Reply #29 on:** May 04, 2011, 04:06:02 PM »

Yay! I've achieved my lifelong dream of playtesting!

Aelec Enitnel · « **Reply #30 on:** May 04, 2011, 04:06:56 PM »

Have you figured out if the cards I played against at IA are making it in?

Red Dragon Thorn · « **Reply #31 on:** May 04, 2011, 04:11:51 PM »

If you did any PT with Gabe/Kevin at IA state, you can safely assume that those cards are making it in. Our cut-off for removing/adding cards to the set was about a month ago. Do remember not to actually spoil anything please.

You wouldn't be spoiling anything if you revealed them. Simply revealing cards does not cause mold or other "spoliants" to grow.
(Unless said card is a reprint of Spreading Mildew).

Nice.

Gabe · « **Reply #35 on:** May 04, 2011, 06:23:17 PM »

They won't necessarily be printed in the form that you saw them. At this point I'm trying to focus mostly on the controversial cards so there's a good chance that they could change.

Aelec Enitnel · « **Reply #36 on:** May 04, 2011, 06:47:34 PM »

Okay, cool.

SomeKittens · « **Reply #37 on:** May 04, 2011, 07:10:32 PM »

Making very sure there's not another Thad or TGT?

Red Dragon Thorn · « **Reply #38 on:** May 04, 2011, 07:15:03 PM »

Nope, we decided that Thad was too weak, get ready to meet Thad V 2.0

TGT was actually a really good card as far as playtesting work goes - It's not broken because of itself, TGT doesn't win games without some serious help, TGT became unbalanced because we didn't predict the meta-shift that happened, making territory destruction really, really, really good, at allowing TGT to punish single color defenses as much as multi-color ones.

Thad was a legit mistake, partially caused by me, that created a card that is broken on its own merits, not because of a shift in game play.

2 names.... Deck I and Deck J

browarod · « **Reply #40 on:** May 04, 2011, 08:22:33 PM »

Awhile ago it was said that it can't be Deck "I" since that would look too close to the tin roman numeral numbers.

I want more Luke and Herods.

Also any chance of getting some magicians?
They have amazing characters but could use fort and some enhancements

crustpope · « **Reply #42 on:** May 04, 2011, 10:16:36 PM »

I took a guess on a new civilization that will be included in the new set and it raised some eyebrows with people in high places so I am 99.987% sure I am dead on. Pretty sure what color it is too.

The M · « **Reply #43 on:** May 04, 2011, 10:18:55 PM »

Periwinkle,
Chartruse,
or Cyan.

I predict no new silver, red, or pale green xp

Red Dragon Thorn · « **Reply #44 on:** May 04, 2011, 10:39:03 PM »

We're including a new civilization with this set? News to me.......

Out of curiosity what was your guess, and where can I find the thread in which we raised eyebrows, as I legit don't recall doing so.

@Smokey/RDT: Thad 2.0 is so incredibly broken. I hope that isn't the printed SA.

@RDT: I think you are playing some semantic games

... odd, that one wasn't censored by R.O.S.E.S. Guess they fear its awesomeness.
