Jayden found a wild BaboonyTim and brought his Nazareth deck out for a test run! Watch Jayden talk about the deck and pilot through a game.

While we’re in between Lackey Grand Prix, I decided to try out a new build that I think is a little more suitable for casual play, though I’m sure it could be refined to elevate the competitive potential. The concept for this deck is to use a turbo-Nazareth offense with a Lost Soul-hiding defense, although the Soul hiding in this defense is a little less conventional than your typical meek Lost Soul/Sadducees defense.

The hope is to use mass Soul-shufflers like Death of Unrighteous and Suicidal Swine Stampede to put all my Lost Souls back in my deck, and use counters like Nazareth and Moses (CoW) to keep them there. The more turns I can keep Lost Souls off the table, the more turns I can let the attrition-style offense peck through my opponent’s defense.

My original plan for the video was to show the building process as I took the deck from a concept to a game-ready deck, but the timing worked out for me to squeeze in a game when I had found a BaboonyTim in the wild and I think the gameplay is certainly more entertaining. Hopefully you think so as well!

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.
