as said,does anybody know what the brigades are in I/J?
how bout you, scheaf?
do you know anything about the I/J decks, that is if rob decides to make em?

Cameron the Conqueror · « **Reply #1 on:** January 06, 2009, 02:06:17 PM »

I really hope I/J are released this year. IMO, it makes sense. The economy is bad, and people will buy starter decks as a cheap fun thing. I really don't want to purchase any more expensive tins.

I doubt they will do tins specially since (if memory serves) rob said itll be starters.

then it's not a matter of if but will.
I/J will be released this year but the question is: what does rob have in mind for the I deck's and J deck's offense and defense?
i say Teal should go in one and orange should go in the other since there hasn't been a starter out after when preists was released

TheKarazyvicePresidentRR · « **Reply #4 on:** January 06, 2009, 02:23:42 PM »

I believe they shouldn't even though I lack the power to change anything. Orange and Teal both have themes of power. Teal uses offerings which don't dirrectly win a battle. Orange uses bottom of the draw pile/using other brigades enhancements. Both seem a bit advanced for starters. Also does anyone think curses/covs will be in the starters?>

Sean · « **Reply #5 on:** January 06, 2009, 02:32:07 PM »

Cactus has done a really good job balancing the starter decks the past two releases so I don't think how certain brigades win is a factor for deciding what brigades will be in the starters.

I hope not. I would like to see starters that don't have too much outside of Lost Souls, Heroes, Evil Characters and Enhancements. It is much easier to teach newer players without having to worry about sites, artifacts, covenants, curses, weapons, etc.

TheKarazyvicePresidentRR · « **Reply #8 on:** January 06, 2009, 02:38:12 PM »

I 100% agree with ya.

DaClock · « **Reply #9 on:** January 06, 2009, 03:17:06 PM »

Along with that, it is probably easier for people that aren't being taught to pick up the box and play a game if there aren't as many parts involved. However, I'm not a play tester or a new player so I don't know for sure.

I disagree that Teal is based on offerings. I think both could easily and simply be put into starters

STAMP · « **Reply #11 on:** January 06, 2009, 05:13:42 PM »

G/H was really good for themes. I think I/J will be more of the same, maybe some civilization themes like more with Philistines or more for musicians, etc.

I just foresee (pun intended) a problem with recognizing the differtence between an I and a J, what with my failing eyesight.

I still have problems with E/F and finally just had to memorize which cards are in which.

I think that it would make sense to make the starter decks with brigades that still could use some more help. I think that it would make sense to have orange for one of the defenses and brown as the other. There are some decent medium power type cards that would benefit both. For instance an orange panic demon and obsidian minion, or some Persians.

On offense, I think that good gold and white could still use the most help. Some medium powered Luke cards for gold and perhaps some Daniel stuff for white. All of these would add something to the overall game while still being pretty easy to use for new players.

I think Teal and Orange are the two most important. They need to work on themes

.

I can't wait for the orange. Here in Minnesota we already agreed that orange was OP'ed (and we've all been using it for about a year), but giving it a few more solid battle winners and demons would be great.

My guesses:

They'll do Genesis heroes to push towards the completion of the twelve tribes of Israel, they'll do Philistines because it got neglected in RoA but has a lot of background from previous sets, they'll do Demons because they're relatively new but still fairly weak, and they'll fill in Brown, probably with Persians.

Redemption, duh.
and there isn't hardly any battle winners in silver

Sean · « **Reply #22 on:** January 06, 2009, 06:53:14 PM »

Raven, I don't think you have any idea of what you're talking about. Silver has a bunch of battle winners and a bunch of very good characters.

In the spirit of G/H's Moses versus the Egyptians competing themes, I could see Angels vs. Demons for I/J. Orange still could use some pumping up, and Silver has been a little neglected in the last three sets.
