ive seen some people talk about restricted cards in this game and banned cards. what cards are banned in this game? what cards are restricted? what does restricted actually mean?

also, does anyone wanna chime in with the staple cards for every faction are as well as all the staple neutral cards?

any help would be much appreciated. i have 2 core sets and a secrets of arham set. i have no idea where to start lol!

also i know the old sets didnt have 3 of every card before. are there any plans to reprint all the old sets with 3 of every card?

after scouring the forums i saw some people talking about a forgotten lore set. is that a reprint of all the older cards?

This FAQ has the restricted and banned list, http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/ffg_content/coc/support/1-5/coc-faq%20Ver%201.5.pdf

Old sets will be reprinted in the new 60 card format, eventually.

Forgotten Lore does reprint some of the old CoC CCG cards.

As for staple cards for each faction, I don't know all of the factions well enough to give a good insight in to all thier staples. I will say Cthulhu's faction has Deep One Assault, Deep One Rising and Ravager of the Deep which are three of his best cards.

Also, welcome to the forum.

thanks for the reply. quick question about the forgotten lore sets: how do you know which cards from which sets are getting reprinted? are the cards from the forgotten lore set different cards from different sets mixed together?

I never palyed the CCG so I'm not too sure on that since I can't really tell which cards were in the CCG or from the LCG, it's just what I've been told.

If you're curious, you can look at the cards in each pack yourself at this site, http://www.cardgamedb.com/index.php/CoC/CoCCards.html

so i have bought 2 core sets and 1 secrets of arkham set. what should i get next? the order of the silver twilight lodge? the forgotten lore cycle? what?

The core set still has some of the best cards in it, so I suggest getting a third set. As for asylum packs, any of the new 3 x 20 formats are a good choice, they have recently reprinted the Summons of the Deep cycle, and I'm hoping they will reprint the Dreamlands cycle soon.

Look into the Yuggoth Contract cycle as well, there's some really good cards in this cycle, with new versions of all the big Ancient Ones.

Order of the SIlver Twilight mostly has cards for the new faction, so you can easily wait with picking this up.

i know they are mostly the new faction but are there any must have cards for the other factions in the order of the silver twilight set as well? also, are they reprinting the summons of the deep cycle in reverse order because when i went to look at them the first 4 ap were not yet available and the last 2 you could purchase.

No, they reprinted them in order, the first and second went on sale february 25th, the third and fourth went on sale march 24th and the last two packs went on sale april 20th.

The first three packs are currently listed as being reprinted.

As for the Order of the Silver Twilight, I can't really think of any essential card for the core factions, but maybe someone better versed in the game can answer that.
