Make them Tan, maybe? Teal and orange are special in that they only have one theme regardless of testament, but there's nothing saying Tan has to be restricted to NT early church, it could have an OT theme, too (and I think this wouldn't be a bad one for it).

I think it would be unlikely for there to be another theme in tan, at least for a while, because Early Church is going to be a HUGE theme.

Well, Tan isnt an official brigade...

Not yet.

Who said it would ever be?

Why create yet another brigade(That will be anemic)

anemic?  I don't think you need to worry about that. 

We are trying to balance the number of cards per brigade.  Much of it has to do with art availability. 

As was mentioned before, we have TONS of cards and art available for Blue in Genesis (and Job).   Think about the subthemes of Genesis yet to be developed: Creation (pre-flood), Flood Survivors, Patriarchs (Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and their wives/nephews/related angels).  And we still are not done printing the sons of Jacob!  When each of these themes gets expanded, you will start to see a lot more diversity in Blue decks.

Meanwhile, the Church heroes (Acts - Revelation) and related enhancements are so many in number that by the time they are all reprinted as playable cards, there will be as many of them or more as there are in each of the other good brigades.  Adding all those cards to blue would make Blue twice as big (or more) than each of the other good brigades.  There could easily be 30 new-brigade heroes and 30 new-brigade enhancements in the first set alone!  Right off the bat, there will be playable subthemes (Deacons, [edited by ROSES], [edited by ROSES], etc.), each with their own support cards that do unique things, some of which have never been seen in Redemption.  Have you noticed that there have not been many cards with a reference from Acts or later since Priests released?  We've been saving them for a big set, so we can release the ultimate good brigade.  Someday... hopefully soon.

I'm just wondering what "brigade color" it will be since all of the normal colors are taken.

Tan or clay probably, based on this reference.

But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us.
2 Corinthians 4:7

it would seem there is a good chance there will be a tan brigade in the future.

Well, Deacons should be the NT Blue setup.

Another problem, they've tried to make an equal number of Good and Evil Brigades, what is this next set going to have?
Also, it sounds like 'Tan' if they make it will be limited to the NT Church like Teal is.
Besides sets like Red, Silver and Blue need to get a better NT theme or get one at all.

I'm open to putting them as already existing Brigades.

I'd really like to see a Nehemiah theme in white. Would Give Zerubabbel some play! Green could be considered, but there's so much prophet stuff already. Tan would work to if that was ever a brigade, but what would a new Evil brigade be?

Blue isn't going to get a N.T. theme because there are already a whole lot of cards to print for genesis, and adding a theme as big as early church would make it twice as big as other brigades.  Silver doesn't really have themes, except angels, they are a support brigade for the most part.  Red has Centurions which are actually AWESOME, there just aren't enough of them to make it more than a splash.

In my opinion brigades aren't all that important, the themes are the power.  Outside of old cards, most cards work specifically with their themes (or at least work better with their themes).
