I am new to the LCG world and have spent some time looking up information about it in the BGG and FFG website. I want to get my hand on one of the LCGs. I finally made up my mind and decided to pick up the CoC LCG. I would like to buy the expansion as well, so that I can experience some deck building in this game. However, since I am all new to the CoC LCG, I don't know whether I should get this Secrets of Arkham expansion or go back and buy those already released Asylum Packs. Any suggestion?
Second question, are there any cards that appeared in both the Secrets of Arkham expansion and also the Asylum Packs? Seems that it is quite silly to get too many copy of a "common" card.
Thank you!

What the hell is doing is being used out of clefts by me.

I can tell you that there are no cards duplicated between Secrets of Arkham and the other Asylum packs. As for your first question, Secrets of Arkham is the only expansion I have and it seems to mesh pretty well. There are only a couple of Day/Night cards, but they still work well by themselves. I say go for it.

Thx! I will go to FLGS today and see if I can pick up both the core set and the deluxe expansion today.

I agree, the Asylum packs will end up costing you way more just to get an appropriate amount of cards. You can get a few at a time, but especially with the Dreamlands block, you need them all for the individual cards to make sense and form good strategies.
My first stop would be to get Secrets of Arkham. Solid cards in there.

I've been playing with *only* Secrets of Arkham (i.e. no Core Set) for the past week, and it seems to work quite well. Hastur is a bit on the weak side (3/6 cards seem to be more or less useless).

There are fewer than 3 copies of each card in this one, so I'm waiting for the reprint.

So since there is 2 of each card, how many copies of SoA would a pro recomend a noob to pick up if he's going for some casual mono-faction play?

Not sure how much of a "pro" I am, but if you're going casual, I'd say just buy one. If you want to take advantage of all of the deck-building possibilities, you can buy two copies (giving you 4x of each card). Since the rules allow you to only have 3x of each card in a deck, there's no point to buying more than two copies.
