This week on Redemption with Jayden we’re heading back into Type 2 world with a deck that’s all about hitting the reset button. That’s right, in true April Fool’s fashion, we’re playing an A New Beginning deck.

The consequences of playing A New Beginning are sometimes a little hard to predict, so this deck focuses on trying to tip the scales in our favor with a few tech cards that otherwise don’t see a whole lot of play. Once again, we’re taking on fellow Type 2 player Joe Schaepher who brought a really cool deck as well (and not just because it’s similar to a deck I’ve played in the past…) so I’m excited for you guys to see how this game shook out, and good news, we made it under 2 hours! 😉 Check it out below along with my decklist!

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.
