demons are the same they have to posses humans to be useful to satan.

Now that is just theologically incorrect...

Just think of the story with the Prince of Persia delaying the answer to (I think) Daniel's prayer.
The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.

I agree.  I'm of the belief that Christians cannot be possessed by a demon, but Satan can sure mess us up if we let him.

Fact is there is more than 3 silver cards that see play. Fact is it still is under a dozen or so cards, it shouldn't be like this. I think orange and silver need to be in the new starter deck, or mini sets. Heck why not both? Orange and silver should be ablle to support themselves, before they support another color.
My name is Tyler Stevens, and I approve this message.
Although I do support a considerable boost for Orange, I don't think Demons in a starter would give a very good "First Impression" of the game to new players.

I agree with this, actually. If the first thing a soccer mom sees little Johnny playing with is a bunch of demons, she's not going to be inclined to continue to let her precious little angel keep playing Redemption.

I think her rejection of Redemption will be based less on the demons and more on the fact that her little Johnny has been relegated to a support brigade.

That's exactly my point. There are other themes that need just as much if not more help then Demons. Syrians, Heretics, Canaanites, Greeks, and Romans all need some new cards. Let's not give a theme a boost in a starter deck at the expense of turning new players away from the game.

This is where Redemption following the bible comes in play, rarely if ever are angels portrayed as anything more than supporting characters in the bible. Therefore, they have not been made a stand alone redemption brigade.

I disagree. Angels are portrayed as being more powerful than human beings (though not, if my understanding is correct, as beloved as humans are). Biblically speaking, there's at least as much evidence to assume that silver should be as viable as any other brigade on its own. That said, I like having silver as a support brigade from a gameplay prospective.

Indeed. I don't want to see the argument that Silver is a support brigade because Angels supported humans in the Bible until I see an angel card that can discard every Assyrian in the field of play. 180,000 is such a large number...

Um, Protection of Jerusalem allows The Destroyer to discard every Assyrian in play.

How do you figure that?

Mentally replace the word "activate" with "trigger". I'm too lazy to go through and change it myself, and just realized what I did.
