Becuase some people think I'm no help to the community or should leave I present to you:
  Some of you are wondering what the heck is is an engine correct?
An Engine is a means to draw out cards from your deck.

Engine one:Hur/Gifts
 
       This engine was created by Justin Alstad in 2004 as means to draw out the first speed deck
it draws seven cards and disrupts the opponets hand. It is still common today.


  Engine Two:Book/Reach/Words

   This is pulled off by maharai+Claudeia+ET to play book then reach then words to draw nine cards in T1. In T2 you used to be able to draw fory-five cards with this combo.
This brought about the hand limit. It is still common in T2 but no longer T1.

  Engine Three:Drawing Feasts.

         By setting aside your heros you can draw Three cards or four or any number below.
          It takes one one turn to draw 3 or 4 cards for a discard.
          Still common in T1

 
   Engine Four:Bronze laver and Gates of Hell
   Place 2 demons beneath deck to draw two then Gates them out. simple enough for one sentence.

           Now that I'v posted this newer players can make speed decks haha.

we aren't asking you to leave. all we've done is -1 you on your bad posts.

you need more than the knowledge of what cards draw you a lot. and the ET drawing version isn't common in T2, from what I've seen. so just because newer players can "now build speed decks" doesn't mean they'll be any good with them. a good speed deck takes skill as well. other ones are so simple "a mutant monkey with opposable thumbs could play them."

and for the record, this wasn't a great post (since I'm pretty sure 90% of redemption players know these ways), but it wasn't spam.

Helpful to new players, yes, but should we be teaching them that speed is the be-all end-all?
