Oh, sorry. It is biblebattlestcg.com. I mean that it seems more playable from the biblical standpoint. It focuses on the old testament and your quest is to gain wisdom... while attacking. It separates "followers" into Romans and Israelites for example and still has all the names in the old testament. The battle groups are much more realistic to my kids from a biblical standpoint than the "Heroes" versus "villians" mentality of the redemption series. This makes it more "playable" for the folks in my circle... I guess it is not the best use of the word in this case... it is based on the same strategy model as redemption and Magic in any case...

I've seen this before. However, it seems to me like it's just a poor copy of MTG. Redemption was designed from the ground up with entirely new mechanics (in 1995, no less), so there are very few parallels between it and MTG.
As to being "more realistic" I've found that Redemption portrays the real spiritual battle for our souls very well, and it's also an effective witnessing tool. Bible Battle's quest for "wisdom" is ineffective at best, heretical at worst. Since when does killing people make me wise?

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but if Bible Battles focuses on the OT, why are there Romans? Secondly, in a Bible-based game, why can I use Assyrians, Babylonians or Egyptians (not nice people in the Bible) to win?
