The clue I found that it was not genuine was a little more subtle.

Be gentil with him.   

take it up with king james....haha

I would, but he's been dead for 387 years. I'll ask him about it later, though, possibly in the next few weeks. 

But it says in the 10th anniversary edition of the rule book that all beasts are demons. So if you say it is a beast, then it is automatically aq demon.

Are there any actual spoilers for the new set?

How bout stuff we dont already know. LOL.

Yes.  Each starter decks contains Son of God, Angel of the Lord, Christian Martyr, and 7 lost souls.

I just spoiled 20 cards in 1 sentence.

Wait... so two CMs and no Burial?

I was thinking the same thing. Are all of the souls generic?

Giving both of them CM rather than one CM and one Burial is more balanced. In all the starter deck games I've played Burial has rarely been useful whereas CM is often useful as banding chains are less prevalent in starter decks. So, I like that change.

Ha, Burial is far superior in the current starters (and especially in sealed deck) because Soul Drought is so strong.  With Burial over CM, your opponent has to rescue all but one of the souls you have in your deck, CM only stops one rescue, and the soul will still be there on their next turn for them to rescue.

Not at all true in the short term yes this is true but you need to remember both of your decks are equally slow and there are guaranteed 5 souls for you to rescue. If your playing for the long term game CM is far superior since you can kill your opponents Ace hero and they have no way to get that hero back. When ever I played sealed I always dump my site and burial if I get the deck with Burial. Sure my short term game is hurt like I said earlier but it also means I can put in two more Evil cards which the current starter are REALLY lacking or two more Heroes. I won a nationals doing this! How else are you supposed to fit two Cups of Wrath in your deck

You can't even get rid of the opponent's ace hero (at least not in the G/H starters), because midwives just bring Moses (because are you really going to argue anyone else is the ace hero of that deck) back anyway, and you can search out midwives with increasing numbers.  And the fact that both of the decks are equally slow is an advantage in favor of burial.  You are both going to take many turns to get out enough souls for the game to end, but the burial deck gets to get rid of one of those souls and often get extra turns of rescuing while having nothing to defend.

As an aside, if there is one thing I hope about the new starters, its that they would have some soul-gen in them, because nothing is more frustrating to me that soul drought in sealed.

I tend to agree with Blake on this one


As a side note nothing in redemption is guaranteed

I think your missing the point that it takes 5 souls to win both decks have 7 to be drawn while the deck with burial can eliminate one of the one of those souls leaving only 6 that can possibly be rescued in the deck

Your point would have been correct before the SoG targeting change, but Burial is at least on the same level as CM for sealed.
