After watching it get mildly heated(while still being civil) over on the AUTO thread, I wanted to have a more positive discussion about the game.

In your own opinion, what is the BEST thing going for Redemption? Feel free to discuss.

I like the people.

Booster Draft. Such a skill category.

It is I always have epic games with Jordan Alstad. Their is a skill to drafting

Also I have found that Redemption is less "robotic" than other ccgs I have played, meaning game play is much more fluid. Also I find myself having to make more difficult decisions for block or attack than I would otherwise. For example, in Pokemon basically its " Play an energy every turn I attack you, you attack me for the highest possible damage". Magic is similar too that. Lotr of the rings has an interesting battle phase but is a bit rigid as well because of the cost system. Obviously have have played redemption the most out of these and there is a lot of in game strategy but generally I have found that the cards play themselves in these other games ( so deck building is a bit more strategic) and in Redemption the right attack or block is not as obvious.

I meant at more a fundamental level, those decks seems like exceptions to the rule not the rule anyway.
