Not a fan of mid-game sideboards, especially because it only works with the new cards.

Except that most likely you'll stack it with old cards since they are the ones that are more deck specific.

but only new cards can get stuff out of it, so it limits what types of decks can use it. although, there will probably be a few cards that can interact with the reserve and be universal, like an artifact or splashable character. I can't imagine that they would just leave older decks in the dust for newer decks.

You have to note that's happened to plenty of other decks when new mechanics come out. Not everyone had TC cards, and most still don't have Taunt (although I still say Locusts from the Pit should) and plenty of Decks can't use cloud characters. Im sure in time plenty of other decks will get that ability to grab cards from Reserve and until then we will just have to make due with cards that don't use them.

That and I'm sure we will have counters to Reserve coming as well.

Updated with the new information about the set from today's announcement, which officially made today the best birthday in recent memory because yay new set announcement!!

Happy Birthday Browa!


I'm super excited for the new set!

I'd like to see some Angel stuff (like the Seals/Trumpets/Bowls), Angels and maybe a John reprint.

Sorry to disappoint you - These things didn't quite make the cut, there's so much material in the book.

Those are the main things of the book. Why wouldn't they be in there? (Especially when Trumps 1-6 are horrible representations and just terrible cards and the Seals are a mixed bag, with 4 still being bad and only 3 being kinda good.)

That and there should be Angel stuff in there. It's Revelation, I'd expect barely any Clay cards not a lack of Silver.

We chose to really focus in on the 7 letters. It's not Revelation - It's Revelation of John.

I would expect you guys when making a Revelation set to do more then just look at the letters and that's it. =(. Well there goes my hope for some actually good stuff coming to Angels then. *sigh*

That's what I hope. But I'm not sure.

There's a good chance you might want to make sure you own a copy of those "bad" trumpet cards found in warriors. Just sayin'.

I have a full set of the Seals and the Trumps. Still want better versions though =P

If you don't, you might want to reserve a few... 

YES!!! My random mini collection of the old Trumpets and Seals was worth it! Though, you can't put them all in reserve in type 2.

The following post contains spoilers from Revelation of John. Do not open it if you don't want to a sneak peak at what's to come...

I warned you!

Spoiler (hover to show)

What would it take to make the old trumpets playable? What if we made them easily accessible without taking up space in your main deck? No? How about we double their effect? Still no? What if it cannot be negated?

Spoiler (hover to show)

As with all cards we're going to be previewing over the next few weeks, these are not final yet. There's a chance things will change.

Angel's Sword is going to be the boss now! Woohoo!!!

You won't even need Angel's sword with a 5/2 character you're going to get initiative most of the time.
