This week Jayden analyzes a Postexilic deck he tried out in a tournament in the LoC only category.

For the January 2021 online tournament I decided to switch things up a little bit and play some LoC Only. I was hoping to get a few more people involved to be able to see a wider variety of decks, but it ended up just being Kye Murphy, his son Sean, and myself. I still think it was a lot of fun and I definitely didn’t expect to see the decks that either of them were running so I think that makes up for the lack of people.

Of course, I had to try out the Postexilic offense and see if it lived down to its undeserved reputation as the worst LoC offense, although admittedly I was definitely one of those who thought so for awhile. The first LoC Only deck I built was a Genesis/Philistine deck since I opened a Father Abraham and a Goliath in my first LoC box, so I decided to give Philistines another shot and really like ’em. Not sure if I’m convinced that they’re the best defense in LoC Only, I think arguments could be made for Assyrians and probably Kings of Judah as well, but I think Phillies are solid enough and have some nice synergy with the DAE’s. As usual, I’ll go more in-depth at the beginning of the video, so I’ll leave ya to it!

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.
