New Redemption Grab Bag now includes an assortment of 500 cards from five (5) different expansion sets. Available at Cactus website.
1. Sleeves are required at all tournaments now, and I also suggest not using just clear-backed sleeves. First, I find they aren't as protective. Second, I find that they shuffle with much more difficulty. Third, it is still very easy to see how recent the card was printed). Basically, newer sets are with a new process, and are significantly bigger, so you have to sleeve from now on. They meet the rule requirement, I just recommend something better (Ultra Pro Matte are very good and decently-priced).Since you are playing Booster, bring additional sleeves unless you want to have to unsleeve your main deck, which is always a pain.2. Look down in my signature, and click the link there (or click here). I'll be doing more of these videos after Nationals, but I go into the basics of the game (prevent, interrupt, negate, the 'cannot be' abilities, and special initiative) and some of the more complex ideas (ignore and side-battles). That will answer those questions in more detail and probably answer some other questions you have, too
Okay thanks. I'll have to pick up some sleeves before the tourney. Are these these the ones your talking about? http://bit.ly/1GLi1aoAnd I actually bumped into the "Real Rulings" Videos on YouTube a few weeks ago! I watched the one called "PIN" but I didn't understand what it meant at the time.

Most comic book/card game stores sell them for 3-4 per pack in my experience, and I find them online for under 3 (though there is shipping and handling).If you have any questions about Real Rulings, or other rulings, just let us know
**EDIT** I found some on amazon in many different colors, priced at $7 for 2 Packs, or $4 for 1.

When I go to order them later on, I'll compare the prices.

You can order online, then have them ship it to the store, so you pay nothing for shipping. The products always arrive sooner than they suggest (i.e. "Takes 1-2 weeks for delivery" usually ended up being about 3 business days). If you do go with WM, be sure to check their site thoroughly. I have often found the exact same item with a slightly different title for a cheaper price (LOL at WM). Here is an example (for the King of Tokyo board game):http://www.walmart.com/ip/27046020?reviews_limit=9&http://www.walmart.com/ip/45189277?reviews_limit=9&That's a $10 difference in price.
Just read something about using your OWN sites for access to an opponent's site? Could someone explain this? Thanks!
