2007 Set Info

Redemption®: Faith of Our Fathers
MSRP: $14.99
Expected to Ship: August 7, 2007




The Facts:

• New Red Hero with ability similar to Gabriel's
• Gold ahs a decent number of interrupts and negates, and gets another in this set.
• Tin 9 contains 3 members of David's mighty men.
• Red is the other good brigade to get two tins
• There is one tin for each of the 8 good brigades, plus 2 other tins. One of the other tins is blue brigade and contains an improved reprint of Jacob. So there are 2 blue tins. The other brigade that gets a second tin has not yet been revealed.
• Most of the tins have the following card allotments: 3 heroes of one brigade, usually tied together by a theme or story, 2 good enhancements of that same brigade, 2 evil characters of one brigade, 2 evil enhancements of that same brigade, 1 other card (site, fortress, artifact, or lost soul). Some tins vary a bit from that arrangement, but the cards still work well together.
• This is our 9th expansion set for the Redemption® trading card game. It is a 100 card set adding many new strategies, characters and concepts to the game. We are packaging the set in a new collector’s tin that will contain 10 Faith of Our Fathers cards AND 1 of each booster pack from the Unlimited, Prophets, Apostles, Kings and Priests expansion sets. Also, each tin will include a label listing which 10 new cards are included in the tin.

Rumors/Speculations (seen floating around, but not officially confirmed by Rob, Doug, or playtesters):

• CONFIRMED! - Second Reprinted hero is Caleb and he will be Red Brigade.

The Quotes:

• "You know, I love to listen to Christian music and sometimes a song will inspire a card idea like, oh I don't know, Carried to the Table by Leeland." - Rob Anderson
• "I was thinking of packing one new site card in a can of Hormel Chili because everytime I see the name of that site, my brain reads Hormel." - Rob Anderson
• ...don't expect a new starter this year. In fact, I'd be surprised if there's another edition for a while. I think this year's set will surprise a lot of people. - The Schaef (Message Board)
• I want the new set to come out this year, and I REALLY want the new set to be available at Nationals. But I'm not going to "sign off" on the set one day before I feel I can stand behind it just as strongly as I did the Priests. And I imagine many of the other testers, albeit without my blunt approach, would share the sentiment. - The Schaef (Message Board)
