This week on Redemption with Jayden we’re trying out a type of deck that hasn’t been seen much in the meta lately because some of the most popular cards in the meta (namely Joshua, the Conqueror) just make it kinda hard to pull off. You guessed it (or you read the title of the link you clicked on)–Site Lock!

Site Lock has never been super popular and as far as I remember has never really been a top tier strategy, but if you can pull it off then it allows you to focus most of your gameplay on the offense because you don’t have to worry much about having to block. Putting Lost Souls in Sites means you might not have to fight, er, defend, I guess… In order for it to be effective though, you do have to figure out some ways to answer the occasional site access card and of course the very common plays like Joshua and The Ends of the Earth. The best and easiest answer to Ends is Shipwreck and the most effective answer to Joshua is to protect your Sites by using Caesarea Philippi. It does force you to use only New Testament Sites so you lose out on some nice options like Majestic Heavens and Treacherous Land, but you can run Fortress of Antonia which is pretty sweet if you build the deck in a way that gets a lot of value from it, so that’s what we’ve got here: N.T. warriors of all sorts.

As usual, I start out with a rundown of the deck and then take it for a spin, this time against BradG. It was a bit of a longer game which is to be expected with a Site deck (another reason it’s not really top tier material), but I hope you guys enjoy it and let me know what you think of the deck!

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.
