This week on Redemption with Jayden we take a Priests/Judean Royalty deck out against Chad Frantz and his post-ignore change Zebulun build. This deck utilizes most of the best cards that require meek Lost Soul unity to get some payoffs that hopefully outweigh the benefits of Lost Soul abilities.

To make the most of it though, we also try to shut down the opponent’s Lost Souls with Moses, Amon, All the Curses, and even Jeremiah’s star ability from time to time. Since the defense focuses on kings of Judah, Solomon’s Temple becomes a really strong support card for the defense as long as we have some teal cards to chuck when needed, so I decided to pair it with a Priests offense that isn’t very fast, but compensates with a multitude of strong attacking options and Urim and Thummim to look at the opponent’s hand and make the best choice. The offense is a slight offshoot from Kevinthedude’s “#JetPriest”, which took him to 2nd place in T1-2P at Nationals 2019.

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.
