Hahaha... I was going to comment on that earlier. No you cannot have multiple cards with special abilities in a T1 deck. T2 has different rules for deck building and you can have as many as 5 of the same card (but not Son of God).

Crustpope- seeing as this is a new player thread, it'd probably be best to save the sarcastic, but funny comments for another thread.

Good point.

Type 1 Deck building rules:
- 50 card minumum
- only one copy of any dominant (grim reaper or Lamb icon)
- only one copy of any LS, Hero, EC, or Site with a special ability (words on the picture)
- only one copy of any artifact or fortress
- up to 3 copies of any hero or EC without a Special ability (without words on the picture)
- 1 LS for every 7 cards above 56 (7 LS for the first 50-56 cards)

Type 2 Deck building rules:
- 100 card minimum
- only one copy of any dominant (grim reaper or Lamb icon)
- up to 5 copies of any Hero, EC, or Site with or without a special ability (words on the picture)
- up to 3 one copies of any artifact or fortress
- one copy of a LS with a Special Ability for every 50 cards (a 100-149 card deck can have only 2 copies of any soul with a SA. a 150-199 card deck can have up to 3 copies of any soul with a SA)
- 1 LS for every 7 cards above 105 (14 LS for the first 100-105 cards)

And most importantly.... The number of good and evil cards MUST be exactly the same.

I am pretty sure this si correct but feel free to make any additions or changes to this list.

Thanks for all the advice and tips

Over the last few days I have been hardcore Redemtion playing

I bought the 10th anniversery gift set and a TON of booster packs

(I found them on sale)

I also got one of my friends involved

We have stopped playing begginer play and have started playing Advanced play

We just have a few questions that we're not sure about $:-\$

1. When you stick a hero into a site to gain access to another site, can you take that hero out when your done?

2. Can you Battle Challenge with an Evil Character?

3. Can you NOT accept a Battle Challenge?

4. On a card called "Destruction of Babylon" it says "Discard a single color Lost Soul Site, and all evil cards guarding it. Lost Soul(s) remain in play." What I'm wondering is how do you protect a lost soulin a site?

Does it mean blocking Evil Characters or can you really put a Evil Character to guard it???

RedemptionAggie · « **Reply #28 on:** June 18, 2009, 02:23:23 PM »

1. You don't stick a hero in a site to gain access, you just use it to gain access.
2. No.
3. Yes.
4. There are some cards that place Evil Characters on sites. That's what it's talking about.

redemptioncousin · « **Reply #29 on:** June 18, 2009, 08:06:20 PM »

Just one addition to number 3. If you declare a battle challenge with your hero his special ability activates no matter what. Your opponent THEN has the option of accepting or declining the challenge.

How do you know what the main characteristics are of a brigade?
What do you think of a crimson splashed with orange defense would work?
Which goes better together for an offense, gold and red, gold and green or green and red???

There's not really 'official' characteristics, though some do tend towards certain play types:
Hand discard: Blue, Gray
Deck discard: Evil Gold, Pale Green
Mass drawing: Green, Purple, Silver, Gray
Mass discard: Purple, Black
Banding: Red, Silver
By the Numbers: Silver, Evil Gold, maybe Crimson or Black
Capture: Gray, Pale Green, Crimson
Poison: Pale Green, Orange
Demons: Orange, maybe Crimson or Pale Green
Ignore: White, Purple

If you play demon heavy, sure. Seven Sons, Fallen Angel, Possessing Demon, etc, are good for a demon defense.

Depends on what you want to do. Bryon has a great resource on his site that lists the combos between brigades (until Kings, anyways). That's a good place to start.

Maybe?.....MAYBE?!?!?!?!....Crimson has some of the best capture abilities!!!

sk · « **Reply #33 on:** June 20, 2009, 02:39:48 PM »

Yeah, I know it does, but I don't see it used for capture all that often. Discard, maybe (though not "mass" discard), but haven't seen the capture. Eh, maybe I just haven't played the right people. (Fixed).

Bap7 · « **Reply #34 on:** June 20, 2009, 08:22:04 PM »

How many characters can you put in a site?
And why do you put them there?

Cameron the Conqueror · « **Reply #35 on:** June 20, 2009, 08:27:02 PM »

One lost soul per site. Characters that are captured are lost souls.

Bap7 · « **Reply #36 on:** June 20, 2009, 08:55:03 PM »

Thanks for the quick reply everyone

Does anyone know of any groups in south FL?

Priests packs and certain Rock of Ages and Faith of our Fathers tins.

No normal characters, no. Sites are for taking access away from your opponent. A lost soul in a site can only be rescued by a hero of the same brigade as the site.

uthminister [BR] · « **Reply #39 on:** June 21, 2009, 12:45:21 AM »

Actually that is not true about sites. You can use empty sites for access. Let's say that you have a lost soul in a teal site and I have blue heroes. I can put a blue hero in battle with my empty teal site to gain access to your lost soul in the teal site. You can only use empty sites in this way, so if you have put a lost soul on the teal site in your territory already then it is stuck on there until someone rescues that lost soul from the site. Make sense?

Makes perfect sense

Does any one know of groups in South Florida

What booster packs contain good dominants?

TheKarazyvicePresidentRR · « **Reply #41 on:** June 21, 2009, 01:56:06 PM »

WillInmiami used to have one. I live up in davenport and YourMathTeacher lives in clermont(sp?).

As for Doms
Guardian of your souls = Apostles
Glory of the Lord = Kings
Harvest time = Warriors (good luck since those are retired)

Bap7 · « **Reply #42 on:** June 21, 2009, 06:02:26 PM »

What are the newest brigade colors in good and evil? And what do you think is the best?

The newest brigades are Teal (Good, Priests) and Orange (Evil, Demons). I personally like Blue (Genesis) or Green (Prophets) on offense, and Gray (Romans, Syrians) on defense.

Best depends on your play style.

Whats a covonant? I think its the only kind of card I havent seen yet $:-\$

crustpope · « **Reply #47 on:** June 24, 2009, 07:57:22 AM »

A covenant is a card that has the icon box half filled with the Artifact Icon and half filled with a good brigade color and a set of enhancement numbers. COvenants can be used either as artifacts or as enhancements depending upon whether you activate them on the artifact pile or whether you play them in battle.

sk · « **Reply #48 on:** June 24, 2009, 08:09:43 AM »

Here's a picture of a covenant:
