This week’s video features a deck that I’ve been wanting to share with y’all for awhile, but Lackey doesn’t lend itself very well to this particular deck and I would’ve much rather debuted the deck at Nationals than at an online tournament or something smaller like that. But, alas, someone else discovered it and now the world knows so here we are.

We’ve finally got a Daniel deck on the channel, but it’s better than usual since it’s a combo Daniel deck. Normally Daniel decks are optimized by running as few non-Daniel cards as possible including using only Lost Souls with a Daniel reference and even running fewer than 7 Dominants. I know, crazy right? But we’re not going to talk much about how normal Daniel decks work here. You can learn more about that from Chad’s article here where he shared his Daniel build and a detailed breakdown of it. In this deck, we’re exploiting an interaction between Jeshua and Eyes to See that lets you play Eyes to See “infinite” times, letting you cycle through your deck however many times you want with The Foretelling Angel out to look at your top card the entire time. If it’s a Daniel card, might as well take it. If it’s not, just send it to the bottom and keep rolling. It’s a pretty fun combo and while it doesn’t break the game entirely or result in a NPE (hopefully), it does allow the Daniel theme to compete with the best of the best… As long as you take 20 minutes on your first or second turn to get things set up. Anyway, here’s the deck and the game against John Earley with some insights about the deck and combo decks in general.

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.
