NEW this Year we will celebrate the 15th anniversary in style by allowing players the chance to...

CREATE your own REDEMPTION HERO

that is street legal and tournament ready!! That’s right… YOU can become a REDEMPTION NEW TESTAMENT HERO fighting alongside your other favorite heroes to rescue lost souls and win the day!!!

Whoa. So, how exactly does this work? Because it sounds awesome, but I can imagine that it will have to be regulated fairly strictly. Also, does it mean that I make myself into a Hero (i.e. a hero named Jordan Alstad) or that I design a new Biblical Hero? Either way, I really hope I can make it to Nats.

To answer just a few questions before players panic:

1) There are 6 "templates" to choose from. All are N.T. human heroes.

2) You pick the template for your hero. The red template is a warrior class hero with a "Christian Soldier" reference. The gold template is a Luke hero. The green template is a prophet. The blue and purple templates are deacons. The white template is a musician. There are no teal or silver hero options.

3) You pick the strength you want (4, 5, or 6)
4) You pick the toughness you want (4, 5, or 6)
5) You select one of 4 special ability options for each template.
One of the special ability options (a choice for every template) is "This hero has access to all sites."
A second option is "May band to ___ or ___." The blanks are filled based on the template you chose. For red, gold, and blue, the first blank is Soldier of God. For green, purple, and white, the first blank is Faithful Servant. The other blank is red-Christian Soldier, gold-Good Samaritan, green-Paladin (green), blue- Seeker of the Lost, purple- Saint of Virtue, and white-Saint of Virtue (purple and white go rather well together, and this is a good option for kids with a deck H).
The other two special ability options are more specifically designed to be helpful in the brigade.
6) The title of the card is your first and last name
7) the art on the card is a picture of you.
8 ) you are the only player allowed to use your card in a deck.
9) you will only be allowed ONE such custom card per deck, regardless of type of play
10) promised to be tournament legal for the 2010-2011 season only. Beyond that, tournament legality will be decided on a year-by-year basis by Rob.

In what categories will the custom cards be allowed?

Wish I could go

Actually, I might be able to go. I have family in MA and we've been wanting to visit them. Its just unlikely :c

crustpope · « **Reply #5 on:** March 29, 2010, 01:23:09 PM »

Ok Bryon, I now have a TON of questions. Whta categories are they allowed in, where are these templates, and I am assuming by your last category that I can have 5 of them in type 2? so I am assuming type 2 is a legitimate category for use....

Can I have multiple cards in different brigades but only use one type in each deck ..( ie a green one in a prophets deck and a gold one in an abom deck?)

Can we be evil characters? after all...we were all once separated from the love of god.....

Another important question: Can I be OT if I'm secretly a time traveler?

What about a Saul/Paul like card? That would be really cool.

If I know someone who's going can they pick-up my card for me? I'm not exactly thrilled that its so inclusive, even national promo's are fairly easy to obtain if you want them.

And by that, you mean exclusive?

BubbleBoy · « **Reply #10 on:** March 29, 2010, 02:10:26 PM »

This is really cool. Is this in addition to the regular Nats promos?

I know. Based on the FAQ page on the website, this card becomes an official card to use in any deck. I can see sooooo many wonderful possibilities. I might drop a small fortune on these cards!

Well, Rrulez made the name badge below that I used at Nats 09. Looks like I'll have to make some updates to it. Not sure on the numbers or SA since I haven't seen the templates yet, but I will be a green prophet. I like the current scripture, Mark 1:17, but will probably go with the other picture below.

Bryon told us Saturday that participants cannot choose to be an evil character. Sigh.

Also, I'm assuming each player will only get one, and since you can only have a card with your name on it in your deck, there's no way to have 5 in T2 or two cards in different decks.

Does it have to be my picture? I hate how I look, can we choose any artwork? Is this only on the first day, or will it run all 3 days?

Gabe · « **Reply #19 on:** March 29, 2010, 05:57:44 PM »

Can I use my Nats Hero and Adonijah in the same deck? Are they considered the same unique character?

i second this...not because i hate how i look, but i play other ccg's that have allowed players to become cards, and they're not all that aesthetically great...plus, custom artwork would be kick-butt *cough cough eternal studios cough cough*.

Unfortunately no, you also can't play Throne of David down if either is in play

2) You pick the template for your hero. The red template is a warrior class hero with a "Christian Soldier" reference. The gold template is a Luke hero. The green template is a prophet. The blue and purple templates are deacons. The white template is a musician. The teal template is a priest.

hmm which would I be? 4/4 for sure

Looking forward to what the sa's are.

then again I probably won't drop the money on it, bette off with my wife making a card for her deck.
