Hi Greg!

Welcome to the boards! I would be glad to suggest some cards you should add to your decks but it helps to first know what colors you already have. Have you bought a starter deck? If so, what are the letters at the bottom left hand corner of the card (C/D, E/F, G/H) If not, I would suggest picking up a 10th anniversary starter set and then going from there. Where you from so we can make sure to let you know about possible playgroups in the area?

Welcome to the forum.  Due to the nature of Redemption (with decks being focused on specific brigades), this question is hard to answer.  Some things are obvious though.

Son of God
New Jerusalem
Angel of the Lord
Christian Martyr
Destruction of Nehustan

These 5 cards are in practically every deck that people play.  Aside from these, there are several cards that also go into just about any deck very nicely:

Wall of Protection
Confusion of Mind
Captured Ark
Kingdoms of the World (Priests version)
Hormah

These would probably be the 10 cards that just about any deck should include.  Thankfully, only 2 (DoN and WoP) are expensive (~$15)

Welcome to the forums!

I would concur with the opinions expressed by others that it is hard to answer your question without knowing what brigades you would like to play.  If you want, I'm sure we could come up with lists of the top 10 cards for each brigade of good and evil.

Along with the list that Prof Underwood made, I would like to add a few cards that are used in a large number of decks.

Unholy Writ
Dragon Raid, New Jerusalem (site), or Promised Land
Holy Grail
Unknown Nation

What part of the country do you reside in?
