That is true, and each of the artifacts symbolize something, Revelation notes to Incense being the example of the prayers of the saints, and thats only one example, there are several others throughout scripture.

Seeing how we know that one deck will be Angels/Disciples and probabley Deacons there will be a Purple Silver enhancement in there. And If they keep the same deck building there will be an O.T. defense in this deck and then a N.T. defense in the supposed Teal/Musician offense deck.

Since this thread has arisen again, is it because of the late release of the starters that Bryon hasn't completed one of his teaser articles?

Arrthoa · « **Reply #203 on:** June 13, 2012, 09:44:12 AM »

I am just trying to get people to get the gears turning again about what will be in it. We have confirmation that the remaining non-purple disciples will be in there and also they'll have angel support. The thing is though will they reprint some of the angels from Apostles like Angel of Deliverance. Also to start wondering about what sort of enhancements they will include in the new deck.

There will be a lot of enhancements since they are going to be Type 2 Starter Decks.

Lol. How about T1 only Enhancements? They have that in the Identifer!

Same ability as TGT except apllies to any musician. and is protect from discard if David is in play.

Yes. The cards are still being tested/modified. I'm sure when they are finally set in stone you'll probably see some teasers.

TechnoEthicist · « **Reply #211 on:** June 13, 2012, 03:41:15 PM »

Ah...so we are thinking more of a Christmas release of the starters then....I was under the impression they were in the printing process, and just not being released due to the licensing agreements....Since normally the set goes out in April and goes live in September...Does that mean that final changes will be done in August (paused for Nationals?) before shipping?

Then go buy yourself a G/H deck

I'm fine with waiting as long as I get to see some actual Angel stuff that's good.

Yep. Not that my Angel deck needs any extra incentives to get better.

Bringing this back up since we just had a national tournament and no update on the next set...and then to see Gabe's post that the new starters are still not at the printers yet worries me...Given past history, doesn't it take 4 months to go from print to ship? It's already mid-August....and I'd like to know if we will have new starters for 1st week of December as I prepare for the upcoming season?

Just a few details? Please?

Late December/Early January seems to be the current goal now.

Gabe · « **Reply #219 on:** August 13, 2012, 12:02:14 PM »

Last I heard Rob expects to send the new set to the printer in a few weeks. At Nationals he mentioned that players could expect them around the first of the year.

I know that players are excited about getting new cards ASAP but I really like the chance to see the top decks at Nationals and include some counters in the next release. We won't have to wait a year to get cards that will help change the meta.

TechnoEthicist · « **Reply #220 on:** August 13, 2012, 12:15:51 PM »

With all due respect Gabe, those in the know had access to these cards for how many months now? And did not include the input of a state who walked away with several championship titles this year (mad props to my PA brothers). I am hoping this will be considered in the future. Meanwhile we will have four months without new cards and less time for the regular players to tweak decks for the upcoming season...

Gabe · « **Reply #221 on:** August 13, 2012, 12:22:42 PM »

I don't exactly understand what you're trying to ask be considered in the future, Brad. Can you elaborate?

Missed you at Nationals btw.

I believe what he's saying is that the PA/MD playgroup, which picked up more championship titles than any other state this year (unless you count Type A, in which case, we tied with MN) doesn't have a single playtester, despite being perhaps the most active group on the boards outside of MN (myself, Brad, Alex, Marti, Shawn, Blake, Dayne, the Beers brothers, etc.). If I'm understanding him correctly, his complaint is that despite our active contributions and admittedly impressive display at Nats (three out of the four people we brought to Nats won a title, and the fourth won second in a category), we have zero say in the new set, which I agree is a shame.

jbeers285 · « **Reply #223 on:** August 13, 2012, 01:14:06 PM »

I think we are at the disadvantage of not having access to the new cards for the four extra months. While MN top players are already able to see the new set. They can create new offensive combo's/plays now and by the time the rest of us catch up to these combo's they have the defense to stop them worked out as well.

I don't mind the challenge but in all honesty MN has some level of advantage.

YourMathTeacher · « **Reply #224 on:** August 13, 2012, 01:19:43 PM »

What's with the MN bashing?

FWIW, Florida has no playtesters and we rock, too! If we had been at NATS we would have spanked y'all (or some other stereotypical one-up phrase).

The bottom line here is that Cactus has higher priorities at the moment. As much as we like to think Cactus revolves around us, Rob has already made it clear that he makes little to no profit off Redemption. The board games pay his bills, which means they have priority.

We will have the new set around, or just after, the holidays. I always buy my Christmas presents after Christmas anyway, when they're cheaper.
