Redemption with Jayden: On the Night He Was Betrayed
Join Jayden for a themed deck focused on the important time at hand of remembering the great sacrifice of Jesus specifically the night He was betrayed.
This week is Holy Week or Passion Week, which means that today (Thursday) is Maundy Thursday or Holy Supper, which is the day we remember the Last Supper where Jesus ate the Passover meal with His disciples on the night that He was betrayed. So, naturally, the deck I built for this week focused on the theme of that night, incorporating most, if not all, of the Rotation-legal cards with references from Matthew 26:17-75, Mark 14:12-72, Luke 22:1-65, 1 Corinthians 11:17-34, John 18:1-27, a few from John 13, and lastly a few select cards that fit the theme from other places in the Bible. Putting the deck together was a fun challenge and it ended up being pretty splashy, but I think it can at least hold its own. I played the deck against Jared S (Hymn), who matched the non-competitive nature of my deck with a budget-friendly version of his Patriarchs/Edomals build. It was a very fun game to play and I hope it’s just as much fun to watch!

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.
