For the April online tournament I decided to bring back a deck I played a number of years ago that I apparently haven’t touched since 2018: disciples and demons.

The offense hasn’t gotten much love in the last few sets, but Thaddeus is still quite good even after Coliseum hopped on the scene. People are running a little more “regardless of protection” tech because of the Isaiah in most Throne builds, but the offense has a few other tools to play with so you have options while waiting to find what you need to deal with them. The main new baddies we’re trying out are King of Tyrus, The Divining Damsel, and The Fallen Star. The first two don’t really need any introduction as they’re fairly common in other decks, although most decks don’t have a N.T. offense and so they use Damsel with Spirit of Divination instead. The Fallen Star, on the other hand, I haven’t seen much, but he’s the main reason for mono-orange and I’m actually kinda liking it. The main problems for him are hand protection and negating Territory Class characters, but if you have answers for them or your opponent just doesn’t have them, his ability can be quite good and also fun since it’s determined at random. Any card with “random” in it has to be fun, right?? Anyway, I really enjoyed playing this deck and I encourage you to try it out before Disciples get revamped in Gospel of Christ!

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.
