Counting Cards

You took my queen.  I had a ten.  I needed that queen.Redemption is a game that is rich in depth and strategy, but like nearly all card games, a deck of cards will carry with it an element of chance. One way to make sure a deck makes the best use of its strategy is by minimizing the impact that chance has on how the deck is played. There are many ways to do this, and today we are going to look at the most basic way to maximize effect by minimizing chance: by controlling the size and makeup of your deck.

Another way by which we can reach this goal is by paying attention to the types of cards that are put into decks. All the power cards in the world won’t win you any Lost Souls unless you have Heroes. And all the best Heroes in the game will struggle if you don’t find a way around those Artifacts. Balance is the key to making sure you get to the cards you need, instead of being stuck with a handful of useless Enhancements that you don’t want to discard.
