Teal was in last year's set, since Zeke is half teal.

It's only now that I realize I should have trademarked the overzealous soccer mom idea, so I could charge a quarter to everyone who mentions it.

At any rate, I believe we're finally going to see a David reprint. I don't think Gabe would have made that topic at all (keeping in mind that that topic had posts from Bryon, who never posts in this forum) unless the Elders were actively figuring out what the community wants in a David card, since there's a lot of debate about that. I also have it on good faith that both Peter and Andrew are receiving reprints, though it's been a while since I heard that, so it might have changed since then.

So both starters are white then? Because I can't think of any other good brigades that weren't in 2011.

Blue, Green, Teal, Silver, Gold, Red, Purple were all there, that only leaves White.

He didn't exclusively say they'd be white, just that they would definitely have some white in them. Starter decks are never mono brigade, nor do they have an exclusive focus on any one brigade.

Now we have 2 trolls.

Out of 20 votes, really?  Is 10% of the forum really trolls?

If some knew something about what the future holds they might be inclined to include certain dominants that would otherwise make them troll like. 

Either Doubt or Glory of the Lord is going to get a reprint to make it a worthwhile seventh dom. A Mighty Blow

cold see some of the forgotten cards like NT blue, more teal, and hopefully Romans

I've heard it could be SoG with a way to get around NT, /4*, 1st round, and Human only lost soul

I can't recall if it's been 100% confirmed yet, but yeah, there's been a lot of talk, even from the Elders, of a "Negate and Rescue a Lost Soul" SoG.

I really really hope that Teal gets some Solomon's Temple/Tabernacle stuff. That's been a long time coming.

What of grey? Do we get more Syrians?

What of grey? Do we get more Syrians?

I assume its either Syrians or Emperors, both need a good bit of help.

Rumor mill chugs along:
A source of mine that shall not be named has it on good authority that the Gray will be Romans.

Also, I misunderstood Gabe's post and assumed that meant the brigades not in 2011 were the only brigades to be in the deck when, in fact, he did not say such. So, does anyone have any ideas as to what the other good brigade(s) featured will be?

The number of tins they had is irrelevant, since it simply depends on how effective the theme is. The playtesters may have decided that Romans were easier to use as anti-meta material, especially since they go so well with Herods.

Plus there are plenty of Romans besides emperors

Or, a NT defense to match the speculated Disciples offense?

Romans are pretty well-established to be a bad match with Disciples. Romans Destroy Jerusalem and Crown of Thorns both rip apart the opposite alignment, and they're pretty strong for their respective themes. I'd be surprised if the new Romans were introduced with the intention of having synergy between Disciples/Gardensciples/TGT and Romans.

At least with the last set though, didn't they have NT offense paired with OT defense and the other set OT offense paired with NT defense?  If they did that again, it would actually make things interesting.
