This weeks Redemption with Jayden video features a lightning fast Postexilic deck piloted by Jayden that won a recent online tournament. Check out the first game and write up here.

Online tournaments are back in action and the first one of the reboot happened last Saturday. We ended up with 6 players in T1-2P and 2 players in LoC Only, it was a lot of fun, and many thanks to both Chris and Marcus for hosting and judging. I played T1-2P and decided to take my Postexilic deck out for a spin. If you haven’t seen the deck before, you can check out this video  https://youtu.be/-81vLnzoerU where I talk about the deck and play a game with it against Mike Lasky. I did make a few changes to the deck since then so you’ll find an updated decklist below and in the video intro I’ll discuss the changes and why I made them. Since we had 6 players, we ended playing 3 rounds and each of my opponents were willing to let me record our games so they’ll be uploaded in order over the course of the next few days and I hope you guys enjoy them!

Since recording “paper” games is a new format for my channel, I’m certainly open to suggestions if there’s anything that would make the videos smoother and easier to see what’s going on. Unfortunately the layout on Zoom is relatively limiting, so there isn’t a good spot with open space in the video for card pop-ups, but I did my best to briefly include the card images as they were played so that they wouldn’t be too much in the way but you can still pause the video and read the card if you need a refresher. It is a little hard to tell in the editing process how big the images should be so that they’re clearly visible on YouTube, so that should be improved for next time and, like I said, suggestions are welcome! Thanks for trying this out with me!

By Jayden

Jayden started playing Redemption around 2004 when his brothers taught him to play and he attended his first National Tournament in 2005. Since then, he has become a competitive (mostly Type 2) player with a few National titles and, more importantly, has acquired many great friends and mentors through the game. However, in the years leading up to 2020, there has been a downward trend in attendance at some of the big tournaments, Nationals included. As a result, Jayden wanted to start doing something that would help pique and maintain interest in Redemption and he decided to do so in the form of a YouTube channel called Redemption with Jayden, which he started in June 2020 shortly after graduating college. He loves being able to share decks, games, and strategies, and hopes that the channel can be a useful resource for players at every level of the game.
