Depending on the prices, feel free to compare them with Three Lions Gaming, since a lot of Christian stores in our area that still have Redemption (not many do) charge more than retail. Then the shipping cost is worthwhile. And we have all the tins so you can choose which one you want.

Honestly, I don't know your meta or who will be at the tournament.  If you were in my area, then I would put it on a 2 or 3.  The new cards are that powerful, especially when they work together.  If you still want to take that route, then I suggest newer "boosters" like TeP or Disciples.  If those are not available, then Priests packs are your next best bet since that was the set that introduced the new brigades of Teal and Orange (therefore they contain a LOT of the same colors and could build a workable deck quickly).  I would not go older than those sets.  Additionally, I suggested Tins because they build up a deck quickly and efficiently.  I was trying to help you save money while having a decent deck.

I hope you don't find my advice discouraging, but like it was mentioned early...the last 5 sets have adjusted the game that much.  It is a whole new (and in my opinion) exciting game than it was since Angel Wars (which is when I first started).

I suggest you buying a G/H starter deck and Tin XIX. You'll spend 25 dollars and get a decent deck out of it. From there, I recommend Disciples.

That sounds like good advice. Let's change the price tag, though. If you decide you want to do that, you can order the starter deck and tin at Three Lions Gaming, and I'll include 2 Disciples packs to help you out with your deck! Just leave a note with your order so that I remember to include them for you.

I'm running low on Thesaurus packs right now, so I'll just add Susanna in by herself. Yes, tin 19 is TGT.

Bluefrog,

Check out Texas tournaments on the official tournament page. Marcus and Ben usually have cards at the tour that they are willing to trade with you. Also Terry has some cards as well. There are a average of 8-10 players that meet at Life Church. Look forward to seeing you there.  Welcome Back!

No problem. I'll have the cards out tomorrow!

Kittens! Haha, you go to RWC? I am originally from upstate NY, more specifically Leroy/N Chili area. I used to live on Sunnyside Ln off of Westside Dr and Union, My Mom graduated from there and my dad used to work there. I also have several childhood friends who go to RWC. Good stuff.

Hey, Bluefrog!  Can't wait to introduce you to some new guys in our playgroup.  Marcus Parker, his sister Neeka, Ben Shadrick, Jordan Drott, Chad Soderstrom, and Buddy Dunn and myself (Terry, thanks for the compliment) are still very active.  We now play in Dallas at The Life Church (at the northwest corner of Hillcrest and Alpha Road.
