Hello everyone, I just started to play the game yesterday. My first question is what is the best card? Thanks.

Son of God (Although many consider this point debatable)

Welcome to the Boards

Welcome to the game

!

The card generally accepted as the "best" is actually a very common one; son of god.

Son of God

Type: Lamb • Brigade: None • Ability: None • Class: None • Special Ability: Rescue any Lost Soul in play. • Identifiers: None • Verse: Revelation 1:12-13 • Availability: A Deck (L), A Deck (UL), B Deck (L), B Deck (UL), E Deck, F Deck, G Deck, and H Deck

Type: Lamb • Brigade: None • Ability: None • Class: None • Special Ability: Rescue any Lost Soul in play. • Identifiers: None • Verse: Revelation 19:16 • Availability: C Deck (L), C Deck (UL), D Deck (L), and D Deck (UL)

Basically it gives you a free point.

He makes green a very viable T1 strategy

Next to the Son of God dominant the *single card that has probably redeemed the most lost souls is The Strong Angel.

(*New Jerusalem saves a lot of lost souls but must be played with Son of God.)

Welcome to the boards. I ask the same questions as Isildur. Glad to have another player!

Hi and thanks for all the replies, they are very helpful. I am from Lancaster, OH. I'm working on my master's of theology in seminary right now. I love strategy games and this one was obviously attractive. I haven't attended any tournaments yet but plan on looking into the closest one soon.

You're pretty close to Schaef on the outskirts of Columbus. He holds tournaments sometimes and would be a great guy for you to get to know. Alternatively, there used to be some tournaments on the north side of Cincy as well run by another great guy named Travis. However, he hasn't hosted any since before Nats. Just check the tournaments page at Cactus' website to see what is coming up.

You're welcome to come to our tournaments as well (Jackson, KY) but that would be a lot longer drive for you. However, sometimes the OH guys do come down this way and perhaps you could car pool with them and make a road trip out of it

Ok, thank you. Do you know how I can get a hold of him? I think I'm starting to get the rules down pretty well, but I obviously need to get some playing under my belt.

Welcome welcome welcome!
Well.....The most powerful card in the game is: the interaction between two or more cards. ;]

Welcome to the Boards!
If you are looking to get games in, install Hamachi and join some of the networks and install RTS (Redemption Table SImulator) to play online is a great way to get started.

Godspeed,
Mike
