New Redemption Grab Bag now includes an assortment of 500 cards from five (5) different expansion sets. Available at Cactus website.
If Pale green was the only evil brigade that had horses, noone would not use Pale green, even if it was just to splash in the combos.
"The Same Thing" has existed since the first set of Redemption:...It is helpful for new players to have some familiarity with certain types of cards that are common across a handful of cultures...There will be some overlap in brigades - ESPECIALLY among themes that share a common trait...
Well in defense of the archers, Most (cept assyrian) were made in Kings, before they became such a prominent power.
We still lack a brown evil archer as well

My comment was aimed at Assyrian Archer. If no one else had gotten horses, Assyrians probably wouldn't have gotten an archer.Quote We still lack a brown evil archer as well That's because we lack a whole brown WC-based civilization.Given the current administrative bent of Persians maybe we could give brown an evil bureaucrat. Persian Bureaucrat 3/5 You may negate the special ability of a Hero in territory for the remainder of the game. If you do, discard this Evil Character after battle. May band to a Persian.
Stamp, you are about to make Sean very upset!
Great research! Well done! Also, Persians don't have many Warrior class evil characters yet, so horses would be kinda pointless.

It's to distract enough that he can't focus on the fantasy baseball draft.

X = the number of good brigades opponent has in play? Isn't that another small theme in brown?

Besides, wouldn't a one turn set aside return on their next upkeep phase, making it pretty much useless?

But not this year.Well, I really hope that the King Cyrus card is a national promo a la AoCP...NOT Split Altar.And in my opinion he should be a hero. When I read Isaiah 45, I see:"Thus says the LORD to His anointed, to Cyrus,..."and"...For Jacob My servant’s sake, and Israel My elect, I have even called you by your name;..."and"...I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways; he shall build My city and let My exiles go free, not for price nor reward,” says the LORD of hosts."I would like the last scripture to be the reference on a King Cyrus card.I'm thinking King Cyrus is at least red and purple...maybe adding white...big numbers...warrior class... some type of CBN or CBI special ability. In fact, the possible special abilities for King Cyrus are so numerous. Relating to prophets he could discard all Babylonians, say, if a prophet is in play. Relating to Z's Temple there are endless possibilities, such as activating Z's Temple, recurring any temple, or how about this - search deck and discard for all temple artifacts and place face down in art pile. Pretty bold, eh?!?!
Gold does have a 1/1 Hero, silly! See?
I was curious about this. It seems every brigade now has a 1/1 hero or 1/1 evil character, which are of course great for getting initiative. Silver is missing one, but I understand it being angels, and you can get a 1/1 with Angel with the Secret Name if they are the only Angel out anyway.But Gold heroes do not have a 1/1? Why not? Seems to put gold at a disadvantage in this particular category.Thanks for helping me understand this.
