The Unlimited Expansion was a second printing of the Limited Expansion of booster packs in Redemption. This set was released in November of 1995 in conjunction with the Unlimited Starter Decks, also a revision of the original Limited Starter Decks.
Highlights[]
The Unlimited Expansion contained a fairly broad distribution of characters and ideas from Biblical literature, and was not focused on any particular theme. Nearly half the cards had no special ability at all, and most of the ones that did were Rare. Many of the abilities were simple Ignores and heal cards. Abilities of particular interest include:
- Repentance (UL) - the first Convert card in Redemption
- Obedience of Noah (UL) - the first card in Redemption that allowed a Hero to choose his blocking Evil Character
- Authority of Christ (UL) - the infamous mass-nuke card, soon to be replaced by its more powerful promotional brother.
- Net (UL), Snare (UL), and Stocks (UL) - all-purpose Capture cards that still hold some weight
- Proverbs 22:14 (UL) (3-Liner) - a perennial mainstay in many decks
Printing and Distribution[]
The Unlimited Expansion is comprised of 151 cards: 50 Common, 50 Uncommon, 49 Rare and 2 Ultra-Rare cards. A booster pack consisted of 8 cards: 4 Common, 3 Uncommon, and 1 Rare/Ultra-Rare.
Approximately 8.5 million cards were printed in the Unlimited Expansion, or 1.1 million booster packs, or 24,000 display boxes.
