Hey, Warrior, welcome to the boards!

It appears that you mostly have access to common/uncommons and starter deck cards. Is that correct?

A second question is do you have enough cards to make a deck with one good brigade and one evil brigade? (Instaposted with Soul Seeker.)

Lastly, it's really good that you are asking about a 56 card deck. Soul Seeker is absolutely correct below when he says that a small deck shows you are on the right path, because it shows you are understanding how the game works.

Caleb, I think that is uncalled for. He has stated that he's new, and therefore one should keep that in mind when giving advice.

Never mind what Caleb said. He is coming from a viewpoint that you own "every" card. My advice for newer players is this. Try to narrow down to one brigade on offense, and one brigade on defense. That way, you will have enhancements that will always match your heroes or evil characters. Once you begin to collect more cards, then you may want to consider to branch from that a little bit.

You already have a good idea in including site access (temple veil) because sites are kind of popular. Also, another good thing is that you have included sites which help your defense by limiting what offenses can come after you. If you have them, try to include a few more sites, the more of the same color helps your defense a bit more. Third, you are on the right track by keeping your deck pretty small. It helps getting to your Dominants faster!

Finally, Welcome to the Redemption boards.

Firstly, hi and welcome to the boards

This deck is decent for being one of your first ones. Solomon's Temple doesn't do much help beings you only have 2 artifacts, I'd take that out. You sites can slow down your opponent a little, however I'd take them out because there are better things you could put in. You may want to add an additional site access if you have one though, such as Priestly Crown, The Ends of the Earth, or New Jerusalem. Your enhancement support is decent, there are some powerful cards in your deck that some top players use such as Baalm's Disobedience, Bronze Cymbals, etc.

It'll be hard at first beings you probably don't have a lot of cards, but I suggest using 1 good brigade for offense and 1 brigade for defense. This deck will work for now, just make sure to play "Booster Draft" a couple of times at your tournaments; as it is one of the cheapest and best ways to get cards.

On a side note: You can't have 2 "Dream" cards in your deck. For effect cards, it is 1 card per 50 in your deck.

oops, I missed those two points....good job Sauce. You cannot have 2 dreams like Sauce said! One of them HAS to come out of your deck. There is a limited number of things that can go in Solomon's temple and "Temple Veil" is NOT one of them. Until you get more cards, then you may want to consider pulling it out.

I do disagree with Sauce on the sites....at the early stage, I think it will help more than hurt. They can do one of two things for you. Either grant you access or hide souls. Sites are more of a personal preference so rely on your own judgment with those.

<I forgot to put this in my last post>

There are no silver brigade evil cards, that is Gray brigade

How do I make a winning deck? Are there certain strategies? Thanks!

soul seeker · « **Reply #9 on:** February 01, 2009, 05:01:09 PM »

There are a bunch of strategies that give the opportunity to win. Along with those strategies, it takes practice to eliminate mistakes. Having a strong understanding of the rules and Reg helps this process as well.

There are cards you need to help your deck to be a whole lot stronger. That, unfortunately, will cost you money. If money is not hard to come by for you, then there is a list of cards that (you appear not to have) are in almost every deck. Then there are other semi-expensive cards that help particular strategies....and are in almost all of those top strategy decks.

Some traditionally strong strategies are:
speed (offense heavy)
FBtN with supplemental
Ignore (Garden Tomb and Zeb. decks-->offense)
Stand alone (on Defense)
Capture (on Defense)

That is but a sample. Practice and Learn the rules is the first step. As you get better at playing and your collection increases, then you can start nailing down a strategy that particularly suits you.

Warrior_Monk · « **Reply #13 on:** February 03, 2009, 09:47:12 PM »

if you have a G/H, you might want to consider Moses, he is one of the best heroes, and if you can get a Transfiguration, it works even better. Covenant of Moses is also effective on him, as well as Godspeed... now, don't go and buy all those cards, but if you have one or two, that can help your deck. He doesn't need alot of enhancements, because 8/8 is decent numbers, and if you draw him early, you could get a few free lost souls.

Also, narrow it down to one brigade on offence, one on defence (except for Moses

), it would be helpful if you bought a Rock of Ages or Faith of our Fathers tin.

also, welcome to the boards!

Agreed. Once you decide what brigades you want to play, you can go out and buy the relevant RoA/FooF tins to seriously boost your deck's abilities. Those tins each center around an offensive and defensive theme, like Babylonians for crimson, Angels for silver, Prophets for green, Assyrians for pale green, etc. and are great starting points for newer players.
