The last online tournament of 2020 is wrapped up and was a lot of fun. After the rescheduling, we were still able to get up to 8 players in T1-2P and 2 players in LoC Only. This time around I wanted to try something new and unsuspected, so I brought back an older strategy to see if it had some potential in the current meta: Hand Control.

I think it worked pretty well and I’m interested to see how it fairs against today’s top tier decks. The tournament was nice though to get some experience with the deck against a small variety of decks piloted by players with a range of experience, which is great for getting some initial exposure to how a deck operates and its viability in the meta. I’m curious to know what you guys think of the deck and if you have any suggestions, so as usual I give an overview in the beginning of the videos and the decklist is below for y’all as well. We played 3 rounds again in this tournament, so I plan to make all those available starting with Game 1 which is linked below!

By Jayden

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.
