New Redemption Grab Bag now includes an assortment of 500 cards from five (5) different expansion sets. Available at Cactus website.
However, keep in mind that LS activate in order based on the decision of the player who has the most drawn.
What if there was a tie? I guess whoever wins the tie at that point decides which souls activate first? Regarding Crowds not counting during the first turn, I think it would have been better if the wording on it made it clear that the first turn doesn't count as on the surface it seems it would not work since the holder drew eight cards on his turn. I didn't realize until now that this was a rule.
No worries...it's also quite possible I've been misunderstanding how this should work as well.A couple other playtesters and I are discussing this and we believe there are two valid interpretations--1. There is no "turn" when Lost Soul abilities are completing from the opening draw of 8 (therefore Crowds doesn't activate at all since there is no "turn")2. The opening draw of 8 begins the game and since players take turns completing their LS abilities before determining who takes the initial turn, that is a shared "turn" (which means a Crowds LS would activate when it gets to its owner's turn to activate his LS abilities).From a strict reading of the REG, option 1 appears more consistent. However, since it appears both interpretations have been used by different groups/players we are researching if a previous ruling had been established. Obviously we are wary of changing an established ruling just as the major tournaments are starting to happen. Typically we only want to do that if something is found to be broken in terms of gameplay. Fortunately this is not a game-breaking scenario, but obviously it does impact strategy. (For example, I have used the Escape LS many times to pull out Crowds LS so that it would activate before my opponent could use his Awake LS or Open Hand LS).We ask for your patience as we attempt to do our due diligence with this ruling.
This would be the same argument if Foreign Wives is used to block right away.
