In all seriousness, when the 8 offensive colors that you don't play get printed, you mourn the fact that Silver is being neglected. Then when an expansion hits that gives Silver its 15 minutes of fame, you mourn the fact that the cards don't align with how you think they should function.Your devotion to Silver is blinding you to the best expansions that have ever hit the Redemption scene.
I'm still wondering if Angels will be getting any new weapons as we are getting a lot of WC and we only have 1 weapon that's good.
How come The Four Living Creatures isn't considered a Revelation angel? Is it too generic and Rev angels are more of the angels that dispense God's wrath and such?
I think in general the challenge with good weapons is that it's often difficult to make them balanced because they are inherently a "pre-block play first" so often times they end up being a bit on the weaker side. Sword of the Spirit is an obvious exception though even that has some drawbacks due to its multi brigade nature.For example, we don't necessarily want to create a good weapon that discards any EC, because that just becomes too easy of a territory destruction. Likewise, a good weapon that was a "interrupt, draw 2, play next" (like the evil "Horse" enhancements) becomes incredibly powerful by being played pre-block. We're able to make evil weapons a bit stronger because they are inherently reactive as opposed to the proactive nature of good weapons.Bottom line--there aren't any good weapons in this set. However, I believe you'll find the versatility of the new silver enhancements to be quite intriguing...
Will you be able to use the cards in the tournaments before Nationals? And how about the reserve when can we start using that?
Quote from: Jeremystair on April 04, 2017, 02:18:36 PMWill you be able to use the cards in the tournaments before Nationals? And how about the reserve when can we start using that?I'm fairly certain the Reserve will be legal on the date that Revelation of John is made legal.
What about promos? Are they legal at the tournament you get them at?
so presumably the other 5 are outstanding

I don't think that's been officially discussed, but I'm fairly confident that the answer will be no. The Reserve is already adding a layer of complexity for tournament hosts who need to check decks, so I don't see us going that direction and further complicating things.
How to PlayA change hand size ability targets the player and alters their maximum end-turn hand size allowed, which is 8 bygame rule. It can set the new maximum to a specific card count or increase or decrease the maximum. No matterthe change, this only refers to the size of a hand at the end of that particular player’s Discard Phase.A change hand size ability is ongoing
If the change hand size ability does not indicate that it increases or decreases maximum end-turn hand by a particular amount, but rather gives a new maximum, then it sets that maximum as the new hand size, regardless of any other change hand size abilities which may already be in effect.
