                              Long Live Old School!

I saw Redemption Live and I got excited... then I read the post and I was sad. 

At first I was


But then I was

And the award for funniest post in the Long Live Retro Redemption thread is....*opens envelope*...*drum roll*

broward!!!

*music plays and steps down from podium*(sp)

Today at a playgroup meeting we played a few games. I proceded to slaughter Bryon 5-2 in the first game and got 2nd in a multiplayer game though I was going to get SOG next turn and had NJ in my hand. All in a good days work. I may add Pats cards to the deck to make it unstopable! lol....

You call that Retro??? Come visit a NJ game and watch Justin and me play REAL old school...as in, back to the Redemption Players Guide. Very quick games, and cards that are useless now suddenly become fairly powerful. (And AoC=AoCP in these games!)

I would love to! The only problem is down here people want to actualy win games ): So ill have to stick with all these fancy sets. Though I am working on a Originals deck

For the genuine hard-core Retro players (i.e., nothing past Prophets), we're hoping to run a Retro Type 1 2-player and Retro booster draft sometime this summer.

Yes, I said Retro booster draft. It's our one concession to modernity, because it's so dang fun! You get three blue and three green boosters, and draft from there. Add enough generic LSs to get to 7, and you probably have your deck complete. Then it's off to a land where Isaiah rules, Devotion of Ruth is a stopper, and multi-player games never come close to timing out. And a 10/10 EC sends shivers down your spine.

So anyone around central NJ, get ready to Retro rumble this summer!

I remember back in the day when Red Dragon, Abaddon, Goliath, Beast from the Sea and Beast from the Earth ruled the day. I guess that is a retro standalone defense.

Or my favorite:

Example: Put two copies of a card like The False Prophet in your deck (legal, as it has no special abilities). Set one aside with Molech Worship. Then put the second copy in play (also legal under Retro rules, since we play according to the RPG and cards set aside are not in play). When the in play copy is defeated, bring back your now jacked-up copy to take its place.

This is probably why the rule was changed so that cards set aside count against your duplicates controlled.

Even without that, thanks to no SAs there's nothing like Justin pulling out three Goliaths in a row as you defeat them...
