Defenantly, Positivaly, and Without a doubt, Rock of Ages.

1. Rock of Ages
2. FoOF
3. Patriarchs
4. Kings
5. Warriors

What about your top 5?

Isildur · « **Reply #1 on:** November 22, 2008, 06:24:54 PM »

1. Warriors
2. Apostles
3. Pats
4. Prophets
5. Womens

Im an old school player and like my stuff old School with the super awsome art and the themes were super cool with Sads, Pharis, Angels all being brand new cards!

BubbleBoy · « **Reply #2 on:** November 22, 2008, 06:59:14 PM »

1. FooF
2. RoA
3. Priests
4. Warriors
5. Kings

Yeah, I like FooF better than RoA. I mean, none of the RoA cards really made me think, "Wow, that will change the face of redemption forever!"

This is exactly why I agree with Isildur that Warriors was the best expansion ever. At the time, the first Warriors pack to be opened was the "shot heard 'round the world!"

1. Warriors
2. Women
3. Kings
4. Patriarchs
5. Priests

1. Rock of Ages (woot at silver and assyrians)
2. FoOF (more for the assyrians)
3. Warriors (what would I do with out TSA (wa) and CoTH (wa))
4.Angel Wars (Michael (aw) Nuff said)
5.Womens ( yays for falling away)

1. Warriors (improved everything)
2. Faith of our Fathers (focus on themes, boosted brigades that really needed it)
3. Priests (strengthened defenses, began defining themes)
4. Kings (Warrior/Weapon concept, reissuing of Warriors)
5. Patriarchs (overall strong in battle winners, strengthened combos)

sk nailed pretty much my order and the reasoning. I would probably swap RoA for Patriarchs as #5 because of it's continued support of themes.

The Guardian · « **Reply #7 on:** November 23, 2008, 04:36:02 PM »

I also agree with sk's Top 3. I put Apostles at #4 because of it's great URs and Kings at #5.

What do you guys think of the themes and how it conflicts with the some what wishy washyness of some of the older sets?

BubbleBoy · « **Reply #9 on:** November 23, 2008, 06:15:13 PM »

Hmmm...What do I think indeed...? I suppose I'm somewhat relieved that a higher form of order was presented; although certain themes have sort of been around for a while, the later sets have really begun to accentuate some of those themes.

I like themed decks, but not ones that are basically put together for you already. I personally preferred the "wishy washyness" aka creativity.

Cameron the Conqueror · « **Reply #11 on:** November 30, 2008, 02:26:08 PM »

WA
FooF
Priests

Last: RoA

NWJosh · « **Reply #12 on:** December 04, 2008, 02:04:52 PM »

I really enjoy the deeper level of themes in the game because now players can really have completely different decks and be competitive. It wasn't very long ago when everyone pretty muched played versions of the same deck but now you could go to a tourney and in Type 2 see tons of different defenses and offenses and you wouldn't be able to assume right away who is going to win because of their choice for brigade color. I think there is still creativity in the game but more importantly there is diversity in the cards played. That makes the game more fun.

The Guardian · « **Reply #13 on:** December 04, 2008, 02:56:20 PM »

Well said, I agree completely. The only problem I have is that there's so many good ideas for T2 decks that I end up wanting to build them all...and I usually do...

JSB23 · « **Reply #14 on:** December 04, 2008, 03:04:13 PM »

Faves are
1. Priests
2. RoA
3. Warriors
The ones that made the most impact were
1. Warriors
2. Priests
3. FoOF
4. Womens
5. RoA

TheKarazyvicePresidentRR · « **Reply #15 on:** December 04, 2008, 03:14:38 PM »

Priests: Alot of new ideas added to the game.
Kings: So many underused cards that are very strong.
Patties: Same thing
ROA: Deck d/c fun + themes.
Womans: Special abilites introduced.

There were SAs in the original set and Prophets - Authority of Christ and Dungeon of Malchiah are good examples that are still potent today.

Perhaps he meant character special abilities. Prince of Persia was the only character with a special ability until Womens came out.

I think that's what he meant. Lol "rare" cards in the blue packs arent worth their weight in dirt.

The Guardian · « **Reply #19 on:** December 04, 2008, 04:52:28 PM »

A few are...AoC, Lost Souls, Stocks, Goliath to name a few.

BubbleBoy · « **Reply #20 on:** December 04, 2008, 05:08:21 PM »

The non-rare, SA-less ones are pretty worthless.

Yes, I failed to specify that. I like character s.a. alot.

Despite this obsure necropost, I just wanted to comment at how funny that last comment is.

1. Warriors
2. Patriarchs
3. RoA
4. Apostles
5. Disciples

Olijar, I really wanted to -1 you, but you're Olijar, so I couldn't. Plus, the topic has changed a bit, and I'm interested to see what people say.

1. Womens (they STILL make booster draft insanely fun)
2. Patriarchs (nothing broken, but still very usable cards, especially for new players)
3. FooF (Z's Temple wasn't THAT bad, if only people would have realized how amazing 12FG was...)

LOL at all the Warriors references. FBTN was so broken.
LOL at all the RoA references. TGT was so broken.

lightningninja · « **Reply #24 on:** August 22, 2011, 12:37:02 AM »

1. Warriors all the way (King of Tyrus anyone?)
2. ROA2
3. Disciples
