This week for Lackey Grand Prix #19 Round 2, I decided to challenge myself a bit by trying to make the best possible use of a card that’s incredibly difficult to use effectively. The card in question here is Sow, Reap, and Rejoice, which means that it wasn’t TOO crazy of a challenge, considering it fits in with Disciples, one of the strongest themes in the game, but the card is hard to use because you not only do you have to be behind, but you have to be willing to sacrifice your hand.

That combination doesn’t generally seem like the best idea, so the payoff margin is fairly low, and that’s what makes it a challenge. For this round I got paired up against Ryan “Aldrakev” Greeson for the first time in a LGP, which means he will be making his Redemption with Jayden debut!

By Jayden

Jayden started playing Redemption around 2004 and attended his first National Tournament in 2005. Over the years, he has since become a competitive player with National titles across several categories and, more importantly, has acquired many great friends and mentors through the game. Inspired by video content creators from other games, Jayden endeavored to begin the "Redemption with Jayden" YouTube channel in June 2020 to help promote the game during a time where tournament attendance was low and many games were being played online. While the majority of his content is online gameplay, Jayden now enjoys doing live tournament streaming, box openings, deck breakdowns, and much more in hopes that the channel can be a useful resource for players at every level of the game.
