Roses doesn't exist. People just put it in their own post because they don't realize it hasn't been funny for over a year now.

hmm... although it did say that Cactus Rob edited his post... although he could have just copied it...

I don't want to see a starter deck on its own for the next set. I would have liked a starter deck paired with TexP or paired with another booster pack, but we have already had 3 small sets (Foof, RoA and TexP) and I don't think another small one is a good idea, especially with only some of the brigades getting help. I do agree that we need another Starter Deck, but I don't think it should be until we get another larger set.

Theme decks could be cool, and so long as they aren't too expensive I'd be ok with that.

I love this game and will play the game until I stop enjoying it so I doubt that any decision that is made by cactus in how to release sets will stop me from playing, but I still miss normal booster packs.

Ironica · « **Reply #36 on:** August 03, 2009, 03:24:55 PM »

I have been saying that they need to make another starter deck for a while. Considering that most the people I teach are at that level, it's somewhat of a jump to go from e/f to ROA in one bound. Also, it would help out here with teal/orange due to lack of good cards (my supply usually dries up after one deck).

Also CS, you can have your booster pack with one rare and I'll take my TexP pack with two shiny cards/GOYS/Burial Shroud (and yes, that did come from just one pack (also have some Emporor Nero and WOP in other packs

).

here is what i think

deck I= Teal/Silver Pale Green/Brown

deck J= Blue/Red Orange/Black

they should also change like outdated starter deck cards like strong demon and stuff like that

You honestly think that Demons are gonna get ANOTHER boost? After TeP... I doubt it.

I think starters would be good. New players need to get orange as soon as possible.

Obviously I don't speak for Cactus, but I wouldn't be surprised if the next set is relatively small. The reason is the playability of the cards. I think Cactus is trying to shy away from making new cards that are not going to see a lot of use, but then making a large set (150-200 cards) would require a lot of work, time, and money. There are many cards from each of the Pre-Foof expansions that I can honestly say I've never seen played in a deck, while I think that most if not all of the FooF/RoA cards have seen some play. I also imagine that almost all of the TeP cards will see use somehow.

Not only that, but Rob has said that Tins (and I assume this applies to TeP packs) are much easier to sell and profit from for Cactus than booster packs. With the economy as it is, and many CCG's unable to survive, it is great that Redemption has so far stayed viable. So while I think it might be cool to see a large set, I am in favor of whatever Cactus needs to do so they can remain profitable.

In addition to your reasons, G/H is also now sold out. E/F has been around long enough that it might be close to selling out. So if we don't have another starter deck soon, there may not be any.

This is actually a major concern of mine because:

1. I love sealed deck.(ducks the tomatoes)
2. Starter Decks makes it easier to teach people how to play

Don't worry. G/H is far from sold out. In fact I heard that the large supply might the a reason not to produce starters this year.

Methinks Prof meant the 10th Anniversary editions.

BubbleBoy · « **Reply #43 on:** August 05, 2009, 12:18:55 PM »

I suppose theme decks aren't the best choice for now, but come on people, you have to admit they'd be cool, right?

As I understand the situation the 10th Anniversary Tins are close to sold out. However, there is plenty of G/H Starter packs available.

I apologize for the confusion. I had heard the 10th anniversary editions were sold out, and in my mind I confused that as all G/H decks. OOPS

Korunks · « **Reply #46 on:** August 05, 2009, 01:37:16 PM »

ok, that is actually quite a relief. We still have starters

and so, back to my idea of a new set that is only Lost Souls and staple Dominants (with new art).
Easy to sell, and it would allow players to make starters from their extra cards to give away to people who want to learn to play. THEN, cards that see little play would get played, and who knows? Maybe they would come up with awesome combos otherwise un-thought of because of it?

Sean · « **Reply #48 on:** August 05, 2009, 02:57:54 PM »

The past three sets have each gotten smaller.

FooF: 100
RoA: 90 + Promos
TexP: 60

I would not expect a set release of greater than 100 and another 60 card release seems more likely.
