Problem.

Looks fine to me. They're a support brigade.

TSA>Secret Name. He's just overrated because everybody thinks Samuel is actually good, when in fact, he's one of the worst heroes in the deck. People also use Samson though. LOL.

The problem isn't that they're a support brigade, it's that out of the whole brigade 3 cards see use (maybe 4 or 5 depending on whether people still use cap and/or Striking Herod).

This being opposed to last year's use of Angels:

Of course, not to be confused with:

Captain is more used than TSA is, since he offers better numbers and functions in a Jacob band.

This is more of a T2ish thing. Like you said, most decks will use Zeb over Captain.

Chronic Apathy · « **Reply #7 on:** February 13, 2012, 07:15:33 PM »

I still see way more people using Captain in FBTNB than TSA.

Warrior_Monk · « **Reply #8 on:** February 13, 2012, 07:52:23 PM »

While it's true Captain sees more play, TSA is the better hero. It just doesn't mesh as well with most people's decks.

If you're playing more than 1 Silver Character in your deck, and you don't have Birth Foretold, then IMHO you're doing something wrong. It essentially gives you a 4% chance of any card being SoG instead of a 2% chance.

I don't think that matters in speed decks like Sam that are capable of decking out in three or four turns anyway.

Red Dragon Thorn · « **Reply #11 on:** February 13, 2012, 08:07:15 PM »

A Sam deck, while capable of decking out in 3 to 4 turns, usually doesn't actually deck until turn 5-6. 3 or 4 turns is an absolute perfect game.

Considering that some games don't even make it to turn 4, I'll take that extra 2% every time.

DDiceRC · « **Reply #12 on:** February 13, 2012, 09:08:02 PM »

I use Seraphim, Angel at Shur, and Angel of Warning in my deck. Of course, the only other hero is Job.

Mr.Hiatus · « **Reply #13 on:** February 13, 2012, 09:20:14 PM »

Fact is there is more than 3 silver cards that see play. Fact is it still is under a dozen or so cards, it shouldn't be like this. I think orange and silver need to be in the new starter deck, or mini sets. Heck why not both? Orange and silver should be ablle to support themselves, before they support another color.

This is where Redemption following the bible comes in play, rarely if ever are angels portrayed as anything more than supporting characters in the bible. Therefore, they have not been made a stand alone redemption brigade.

Although I do support a considerable boost for Orange, I don't think Demons in a starter would give a very good "First Impression" of the game to new players.

Mr.Hiatus · « **Reply #16 on:** February 13, 2012, 09:59:09 PM »

But humans possessed, or humans who killed Christians is better? I loved blocking with. and beating demons, when I first started playing.

That's an great idea. Someone should make a "Persecutors of Christians" theme & submit it to the gallery.

Jmbeers · « **Reply #18 on:** February 13, 2012, 10:08:56 PM »

Being that a starter deck has 2-4 evil birgades in it, if one was orange "demons" I don't think that would be a big deal.

Mr.Hiatus · « **Reply #19 on:** February 13, 2012, 10:22:47 PM »

I completely agree. Some silver cards that do blend well with the other brigade, but also are good stand alone cards would be great for a starter. A mini set in December with a few more strong silver cards would be very nice.

Why not at the usual time (Nationals)?

SomeKittens · « **Reply #21 on:** February 13, 2012, 10:29:01 PM »

I'd be in favor of a mini set around the halfway point of the season. This works into my master plan I'll post whenever I get to it.

I disagree. Angels are portrayed as being more powerful than human beings (though not, if my understanding is correct, as beloved as humans are). Biblically speaking, there's at least as much evidence to assume that silver should be as viable as any other brigade on its own. That said, I like having silver as a support brigade from a gameplay prospective.
