Okay, so this is mostly from starter decks E/F with some booster packs mixed in. I used Silver and Red Brigades for offense, and Pale Green and Gray for defense. I tried to keep the deck as small as I can. What do you think? Thanks!!

First off, welcome to Redemption! I don't know what you have in your collection, but If I were you I would take out cards that don't have a sa. Those won't do you any good. You need Gabriel, AAS, and Michael. I would cut this deck down to 56 cards and have 1-2 brigades for offense and 1 brigade for defense. E/F starters are good for begginers, but if you are working towards a tourney-winner, I would buy some of the newer sets (foof, priests) and start building with those.
God Bless,
Daniel

welcome to the redemption boards.
how many cards are in your collection?
oh and i'd change your thread's title cause i'v never heard any redemption player say "analysed" when their needing feedback for their deck
-

Theres nothing wrong with his title.

+1 stop doing that Andy.
+1 with RRulez also. Special abilities are what win battles, and 56 cards is definitely the best way to go. The fewer the lost souls the better.
-
Hey, what's up?
One thing you want to do is have your deck size between 50-56 cards. It doesn't have to be that way, but that's what you preferably want to do :) by the way, welcome a la boards. ;)
-
Welcome to the boards. I prefer big decks but its official I don't count in any way shape or form due to my insanity.
Hope ya have fun.
-
First ,I agree with what everyone has said for the most part. Welcome to the boards!
Furthermore, I would probably consider either taking out your two sites or adding at least three more. :)
-
and at least one SA lost soul and add in slave trade
-
Thanks for the quick response, you guys! You're a real blessing! I have around 100-150 cards in my collection. I haven't taken the time to count, but that is my estimation. Response to Rrulez: Would Laban still work? He's a human evil character who would make a very good team with Lying Spirit. And I don't necessarily have to use him to block a rescue attempt. But if I lowered the number of cards in my deck to 56, I could draw Lying Spirit quickly and then band Lying Spirit to Laban, and that team would easily win a battle with a few enhancements.
Also, I've heard a good deal of praise to the New Jerusalem dominant. Where can I find that? And I also have no other sites besides those two, but I imagine if I get FooF then I probably will get some new sites anyway.
By the way, I do have a special affect Lost Soul, and I will add it immediately. I appreciate it greatly.
-
I can trade you one if you have any foof/roa or cash

You can Trade for it
Buy it
or Buy a Starter set (I think)
-
I also need to ask: what brigades make good teams as far as offense goes with the Silver Brigade? For decks E/F, I think Red Brigade is good, and I've also heard that the Pale Green Brigade is excellent in these decks.
-
blue and siver is good together and where do you live?
-
Also, the local time on my posts is wrong. It is not 9:00 pm. It is much earlier than that.
-
Response to RED: I live in Missouri. You?
-
Look at his username RED.... :o
-
My response to RED: I live in Missouri. What about you?
-
Good one, The Spy :D

Also, the local time on my posts is wrong. It is not 9:00 pm. It is much earlier than that.
I'm guessing he lives in the UK because he spelled "analyse" with an "s" instead of the corrupted American version "analyze" which is a "z".
I think I'm the only American who spells it "analyse", that I know of.
-
By the way, I wouldn't add any lost souls that require sites until you have more sites to add.

Change the settings under your profile options to fix this.

Wait, Jesus is not of this world? He's an alien?
Is Jesus Tom Cruise?
-
I'll post my new deck in just a moment. I just need to modify it really quickly...
-
you can click the "Modify" button under your first post instead of posting a different copy. (If you were not already going to do that.)
-
Sorry about the double post. But until I get FooF or RoA (which I have the money to get), I will use this deck. How about it?
Next Deck
Cards: 51

Lost Soul
Lost Soul (When you place this Lost Soul in your land of bondage, you may remove a Lost Soul from one of your sites)
And everything else is exactly the same. I changed my defense brigade to gray because I have so many great cards for it. I've also included blue instead of red in my offense. So, until I get Rock of Ages and Faith of our Fathers, this will be my deck! What do you think?
-
By the way, I wouldn't add any lost souls that require sites until you have more sites to add.
Other than that, I think you are off to a decent start. (You might drop one last card to make the deck and even 50)
Edit:
where are the arts and the dominants?
I think he just left that off because he didn't change those.
-
where are the arts and the dominants?
-
Pharisees won't do you any good, unless you want initiative.
where are the arts and the dominants?
My question also

Download rts.
-
The Spy is correct. I stated previously that I did not change anything else. Sorry about the confusion. Also, Pharisees was solely meant for the purpose of banding with opponent Pharisees. Other than that, I guess you're correct. It does me no good unless I load it with enhancements. Is anyone on RTS? I'm going to start up playing around May or June, and I could use a solid rival to start me out with. :)
-
I guess I had a contender before I even posted! Once I have completed my first official deck, I will play you on RTS, Colin. I assume you use the same username you use here just as I will?
Also, I can't download RTS right now because my internet computer is Windows Vista and it said that Windows Vista is not compatible with RTS. We are moving by May 1st and will hook up another Mach computer to the internet so I can play RTS on that computer. So, prepare yourself, Colin! :)
-
RTS works fine on Vista. I have 3 vista computers, and RTS works fine in them all.
-
Huh. Strange. I guess I could try it again. What happened with me is this:
I downloaded the zip file just as I was supposed to. Then I copied it onto my desktop. Then I opened it (obviously :D). I tried the different icons that seemed to lead me there, but there always seemed to be an error and it said that something wasn't compatible or whatever-I'm just a youngster, so I really don't know that much about that kind of thing. Do you know what happened? If so, post as soon as you can, because I would love to play you or Colin on there.
-
Did you Unzip the folder, or just open it? I dont think the program will run straight out of a Zip file.
*EDIT* Ah, I missed the error messages part. Yeah, make sure you have those files.
-
Download the supporting files. Then it will work fine.
