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

I can quote him saying they were "planning to make starters" and back then nothing was officaly finalized and also to say, things in the past have been planned and cards were made but the set was completely canncled (such as what was before the foof tins were first thought of) so you never know what will happen.

G/H is not a good measuring stick since it was not a true starter as much as a tenth anniversary special.

Idk what your post means but the past starters all had a few complicated cards and was very uneven in many peoples opinions for sealed so the next will will by focused diffrently then starters past.

witnesses to creation does NOTHING.

No, WTC with three nails means win and Death of firstborn gets rid of their first choice for blocking

Raven,
I'd like you to say that to Justin Alstad after he schools you with his Witnesses to Creation deck.

Ok, so that brings the list down to 11 battle winners. That is WAY more than most decks need or use. Plus, there are tons of cool supplement cards for silver like Three Angels, Gathering of Angels, Flaming Sword, Innumerable, Angel's Sword, etc.

I don't know if anybody can take credit for that combo, it was pretty obvious when Witnesses was released.

Agreed. However, Justin was the first person I knew that used it with a lot of success in T2.

You don't know that for sure Andy

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.

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

Not many teal enhancements aren't offerings be them 'offerings' on the altar or not. Even Zeal for the Lord is an offering of effort.

Andy Silver has huge FBTN, CBN WC, Weapon to P 1st, Battle winners out the kazoo and alot more. I don't like silver but it IS good. The issue is using it right. (Iaholy abuse just to add on). Andy you've used alot of cards, you said they weren't good. I've used most of the cards you said weren't good. I'm winning, You're not. See the idea?

Don't be so closed minded. Witness is great if you use 3 nails+A big defense.

So I guess my point is...
Look! These points of data make a beautiful line!

Agreed. However, Justin was the first person I knew that used it with a lot of success in T2.

Since the WTC/3 Nails combo does take forever to get going, the trick was to find the best way to complement it. I used Captain banding with 3 Angels plus some Teal splash (Joshua/Phinehas/Zeal)--basically some fast-hitting combos for early rescues. It was also important to have the right defense that could stall long enough, and for the most part Brown did the trick.

However, I do recall one game in particular in which my opponent had a combination of Judas (stopped Zeal & 7th Trumpet on Michael) and Asherah Pole (made Captain/3 Angels worthless). In that game, I used all 5 Witnesses plus Son of God/New Jerusalem to get to 7--ironically, my opponent did have Leviathan in his deck but never drew it.

how bout if you lay off,rr?!
huh?!your not doing ANYTHING to help!
that just prooves to me that i'm right that silver and teal need a boost as well as red.cause we all know that red is the weakest brigade in the game

Isildur · « **Reply #43 on:** January 07, 2009, 10:10:35 AM »

....YOU know that red is the weakest but by far it is not

It's true, but that's because "Red is not weak." It's more difficult to play than brigades like Teal or Silver. Less experienced players try to use and don't have as much success because of this. A seasoned vet such as yourself has the skillz to harness the power of red.

My Red deck was 3 years in the making.

I know what you mean! It isn't so cut and dry for Red. Even the WC theme is not so plain and simple like Teal. There is no Z-Temple for Red, no Trumpet blast... Red uses much more subtle strategies.

New Raven BR · « **Reply #49 on:** January 07, 2009, 11:59:25 AM »

well my red brigade is weak, which is why im saying by my own experiance that red needs a boost
