I'm voting for "collectors year" nothing new this year.

There will be a set released this year.
There will be new cards.
They will be awesome.

The three W's my fave! Hmm im trying to think of what S/T/B could stand for? since there must be a reason Rob put it in that order besides just to ryhme...

(starters, tins, boosters)

My favorite idea so far is a set that comes packaged with the new and improved RTS. As long as the price is right, I think that could do more for boosting Redemption around the nation than anything else.

Giving people a set of cards that either were a deck, or could be made into a deck easily for playing live...

while at the same time coming with a computer program so that they can play people online in case there is no one else around them to play.

That would be brilliant!

DaClock · « **Reply #33 on:** February 05, 2009, 09:07:54 PM »

Here's my guess.

RTS will be released, comes with 10 set cards ($5)
Expansion packs will be released for each real-life expansion set, each costing $5 and coming with 5 new cards.
The promotional set will cost $10 and come with a super duper awesome promo card.

That means for the low price of $70 you get all the new cards, plus the best ever RTS.

Kill two birds with one stone. It is a matching tea set with cards. Anniversary present for my wife and I.

All kidding aside, I like the idea of packaging it with RTS2. Win - Win.

Godspeed,

I don't follow your math. It is almost assured that the new set will have 100 cards. It is possible that 10 of them will be promos, but that still leaves 90 new cards. If the first 10 are ($5) and each 5 after that are ($5), then the whole set would cost ($85).

Also, while this is a good deal for those of us who already play the game (to get a whole new set of cards and also a new RTS), it would probably be a complete failure at expanding the game. Who is going to plop down $85 to buy a computer game of a card game that they have never heard of?

I think it would be much more competitive if they sold the game and cards for $20. A starter deck of 100 cards would've cost $10, so this is still twice as much money for Cactus. But people are also used to paying at least $20 for a computer game, so it would seem like a good deal to a new customer. I'm just not sure that someone would plunk down more than $20 for their first ever Redemption purchase. And the beauty of this whole idea is the chance to grow the game in places where people aren't currently playing it.

I like the idea of themed decks in Tins. Notice how Rob uses "a blank" and not the uses of multiples? Its not a starter deck, but could it be 2 starter decks? Maybe 3 or 4 starter decks in Tins? I could see a 56-63 card themed starter deck in a tin. Yeah, the previous starters have had bout 100 cards in the past, and two decks, which I believe is legal to play in a tournament. (with 50 cards per deck) But while I like this idea, I don't know how do-able or profitable it would be for cactus.
So we know there will be a new set and cards this year. Could Rob be giving us hints by telling us its not in a house, with a mouse or in a tree, or to just let him be? Or is it just a Dr. Suess rhyme. Don't like the idea of the new cards via UPC's. Means people would have to buy cards they don't want or need to get the new stuff. Good for cactus, bad for expirienced players, imo. Wonder if they could do the new set via tournament promos? Doubt it, but maybe. After all, there are some cards that have been exclusive to tournaments already so it could be possible, but not probable. These are the best ideas I have right now, might have more tomorrow or later.

Whoa... I spot an edit... why would he add Foiled Wrapped in front of booster pack... could it be a burlap wrapped booster pack?

?

If they're in a box with RTS, they might be shrink wrapped or something (ie, FooF or RoA cards). But my guess is that it's a red herring... too obvious an edit.

Kings, Angel Wars and Priests were "foil-wrapped" boosters.
10th Anniversary was a starter.
Rock of Ages was a tin.

The new set will not be any of these three formats.

... and you guys call ME over-analytical...

So it could be a booster in the same type of packaging as Original, Prophets, Women, Warriors, Apostles or Patriarchs...

Haha, so that's why he had us send in all those upcs! They're making packs out of them!

Theme decks ftw! They could be more advanced than starters, but hopefully almost tournament-ready for the most part. Honestly, with the Tins the way they are, we've been heading in that direction for a while. The only problem I see with this is that it's hard to make something like a pre-built deck that's good without making the cards overpowered.

Rubber band warrior · « **Reply #47 on:** February 06, 2009, 12:13:51 PM »

I don't see how Booster would benefit at all from that, but Sealed Deck might a little bit

now if they do make pre-maid decks it would make booster draft alot better

Meh, I tend to disagree. Booster Draft was a lot more fun before tins came out, and I don't think that having premade decks would help at all. It would make Sealed Deck more interesting though.

maybe a theme deck with NJ woot!
