I was just checking with my questions as we did ban the 2/3 Liner. I know, I know not raising a done deal I'm just sorry to see her go. I also enjoy the history of Redemption, I just don't view it as the end all be all for basing decisions on changes within the game.
And no, there are 15 years between our current Silver Anniversary celebration and the historic 10th Anniversary release of G&H. You may have missed I was, in my funny way, tying the "thin air" Reserve number of 10 to the historic 10th Anniversary of Redemption.
All Historic Milestones, nonetheless, that increase the richness of Redemption. We all respect the game and have our differing opinions of what "should" happen. At a minimum we have brought attention to the T2 Reserve size and that it may warrant a closer look.

I don't understand the pound sign thing, so I am probably losing coolness/validity points.

Godspeed,
Mike

No, silly billy

I have been called much worse and found it very funny as I haven't heard the expression for decades.
I continue to stand by, at a minimum, our back and forth has brought attention to the T2 Reserve size and strongly held positions that some in the Redemption community hold.

You are a good man MJB and your actions on the forums continue to be an inspiration for me to better myself.

Godspeed,
Mike

If you think about it for a moment I believe you'll find the perfect size for the reserve is fairly obvious.

The word "reserve" contains 7 letters and begins with "R", the 18th letter of the alphabet. 18 - 7 = 11

The number 11 represents two parallel lines.

The 2-Liner and 3-Liner are also parallel, both in the cards depiction and in their pre-ban use in T1. Those cards were banned on a Monday.

Monday is also the day that Solomon Grundy was born. He was buried on a Sunday.

Sunday is the day that we celebrate the resurrection of our Savior, being the 3rd day after he was crucified and buried.

Fans of the Christian rock band Third Day are called "Gomers".

Gomer's husband Hosea wrote the first book in the minor prophets in the Bible.

Hosea is card #170 in the Prophesies of Christ set.

The 170th day of the year (except leap year) is June 19th.

June is the 6th month on the Julian calendar.

The 6th Redemption expansion released was Patriarchs which contains 10 letters.

And THAT is why the Reserve is exactly 10 cards and should remain that way forever.

For T1, right!?!?!
T2 and the players thereof are a whole nother animal and require different considerations.   :scratch:

Godspeed,
Mike

Edit: I just noticed that Gabe said "should" instead of "will". Hmmm

The 6th Redemption expansion released was "The Patriarchs" (according to Cactus Games). I am not surprised to find that fly-by-the-pants gimcrackery is what led to a reserve size of 10 cards. Attention to detail is a hallmark of respect.

I don’t think it took him very long since he just had to type it.  The Elders already vetted the Reserve size, and quite obviously already had this justification before releasing it to the public.  I am just glad that the Elders put so much thought into it and didn’t choose it at random.

Would be great if the Type 2 reserve was a little bigger.  :)

They are both 2 types of game styles for redemption and the deck minimum is different , so why not make the type 2 reserve different??

Wow, what a fun read! I had forgotten about this thread.

Last night we had a brief call to wrap up some things for REG 7.0. I believe we will have that available before the end of the month. During our call we also agreed to expand the T2 Reserve to 15 cards. That will take effect at the same time as the REG 7.0 release.

**begin happy dance**

Just a heads up, I haven’t read any of the posts so sorry if I’m double posting any ideas. I have always been for 20 card reserve in T2 since the reserve came out or a 5 card reserve in T1, 10 in T2. 10, now, easily accessible cards but still having a 50 card deck is insane as everyone saw this year at nats. This next year will be even quicker and more efficient, IMO. But I feel like people are used to 10 card reserves for T1 now but I 100% agree with Justin on 5/5/5 but I really like 20 keep it even as well.


Edit*- this was definitely a thread that I should have read before posting lol that’s what I get for being lazy. Great change, thank you leadership team.
