I dont remember an exact date or anything Bryon would remember better then me :P But not long after Bryon started playing Redemption he showed a bunch of us at church and we got hooked. This was sometime around 1998 or 1999 dont remember when exactly but I do remember playing before Warriors came out or at least before we knew that set existed lol So yeah been playing ever since and what a ride its been watching the game develop over the years! There is still nothing like the thrill of opening up a pack and getting a 10/10 Red Dragon!

Wild Bill->my siblings->me. I learned early and got the hang of it eventually and started being more competitive as opposed to, "Ooh, this card looks cool. Sure, I'll trade you my warriors Captain for your kings Gabriel..."

In February of 2008 I was laid off and looking for a job. During that time I was researching alternate art for MTG and stumbled on some art that was on a Redemption card. (I want to say it was A New Creation but I don't remember off hand) I used to play just about any card, board, dice game I could try so I started some research. I looked on eBay for cards and then soon found the message boards. I posted somewhere on here and got a few responses from soul seeker, Gabe and a few others. All with a very kind attitude. (Very different from MTG crowds) I won an auction on eBay which was huge. I think I paid $47 for the lot. I soon found a full set of woman's, warriors, and a partial set missing just a couple ultra rares of kings and a lot of limited/unlimited. I went to the local Christian store and found E/F deck, G/H 10th Anniversary tin and some packs (prophets, priests, and almost a full box of woman's packs) I paid a $1 a pack for prophets and $2 a pack for the priests and woman's. Thanks to Gabe for all the emails of positive reinforcement and deck building tips. He also helped me get all the staple lost souls and dominants and some other cards to help boost my G deck to start with. I could go on but that's my story...for now.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil...

I was playing pokemon at the time but my mom heard about a christian card game like it so I swapped it and I first played when I was just starting the first grade (2006) at that time the new starter came out with new jerusalem and I have never played without it. So from then on I joined the Sedalia play group. (Fun fact- the first redemption game I played someone played wrath of satan.)

I had always liked strategy games so my parents bought 2 A/B starter decks as Christmas presents for me and my brother in 95.  We played a lot and got limited booster packs (I too remember the excitement of opening a 10/10 character).  I think in 96 I went to Creation, met Rob and got a prophets booster pack for each person I taught how to play.  That was really fun.  As my brother got older he quit wanting to play games and since he was the only person I knew in OH that played, I took a break.  Since the game was so simple I didn't feel as much draw to pursue it.  When Apostles came out, I happened to see some at the local Christian bookstore and bought them out of curiosity.  I was amazed at how big a difference there was in the game.  I got a bunch with my friend Jacob and we started playing a lot.  I think at this time I found the message boards and tournaments!  I think the first was Nationals in Pittsburgh; that was quite an experience where I learned that half the things didn't play the way I thought they did.  Been playing on and off since then (mainly due to available time and finding other people to play against).
