Seriously?Why?

Is it true that orange demons are not aloud to be played at Nats in MN this year or am I just gullible. If you are not aloud to play with them, why?

Did I mention I have a misprinted 2012 Nats promo for sale?  It's yours for $100.

No, the "no orange in MN" is a joke, like Buckler.

Hey now,

Buckler is not a joke - I've won battles, games even because of that card.

You can use them, you just have to get them past security. I would of course NOT suggest the following, since I am NOT authorized to tell you of any weaknesses in our security plan.

First, I would NOT tell you to not fly...because the TSA agents we paid off to scan for Orange cards may be the ones checking your bags. If they are found, you will not be allowed outside of the MSP airport for a week, or until you fill out the necessary paperwork, whichever ends first (it's usually the week--that paperwork is crazy).

Second, I would NOT tell you to try to disguise your Orange cards as other cards, perhaps by printing several standard-Redemption-card-sized pictures of Que on stickers that you can easily peel off. There are quite a few people around here that would have too much respect for your large quantities of Que to think about checking your cards too closely.

Third, I would NOT tell you to try to sneak past security by finding a non-standard entrance to the church. There will be security personnel at each of the main doors, and a few of the alternate entrances, however, I have been attending North Heights for the past 13 years of my life, and I still don't know all of the ways to get in and out. I'm not sure if you can contact the city of Arden Hills records office at all, but I'm sure that they have to have the blueprints somewhere. If you can find them, that would greatly improve your odds of safely getting your Orange cards into the building.

Fourth, I would NOT advise you to bring several cans of Mountain Dew with which you can bribe judges/opponents with so that they don't rat you out. I don't believe I've met a Redemption player who doesn't like Mountain Dew, but even if there are some, they will likely take you up on that since they could likely use it in a trade with any of a number of people that do like it.

Again, these are things that I am officially NOT advising. So DON'T do them. Or at least, don't get caught.

Ok because the way people talk about it, it's like it's real.  :maul:

I've heard to look for the really tall skinny kid with glasses and dark hair.
In addition to pesos and mountain dew he accepts itunes cards.

CJSports:  don't let them bully you!  The Minnesotans are trying to take over!  Use your orange defense!  Go vote for Jacob over Moses!  Do all that you can to fight the MaN!

Nats is still a ways off, so start by voting Jacob over Moses.  Don't let the MN gestapo run rampant and free over your liberties! 

A vote for Jacob is a vote against oppression!!!!

In fairness to non-Minnesotans, we should let you that this is also a favorite in game trick here.  Many is the time have I have used Ehud to pick a seemingly innocuous blocker like Ahitophel, only to have my opponent peel off the sticker to reveal Emperor Nero or (a gold) King of Tyrus.

This is officially known as a Scooby-Doo block, because when it happens all you can do is say, "Zoinks!"

That's nothing.  Here in NY, we often have players disappear, only to wake up the next morning missing all their Que's and the occasional kidney.  You wouldn't know anything about that, would you?
