This week Jayden features a revamped version of the Postexilics build he is famous for that is calibrated for the rotation meta.
This week at Redemption with Jayden, we’re giving a facelift to my favorite theme: Postexilics. Part of what made the Classic version of this deck so good was the Classic meta where defense usually wasn’t abounding and recovery after Impartial Judgment was pretty difficult to pull off. But the Rotation meta is slightly different and people are playing with a little more defense, so I had to adjust slightly by adding a few more Impartial Judgment-type effects and sneaking in a particularly “strong” Hero with some support cards. It’s certainly not in a finished state yet, as this was the first game I played with this version, but I think it’s getting there and I’m looking forward to testing it some more. Speaking of this being the first game though, my opponent this time around is once again competitive player and Threshing Floor host, John Hendrix. John brought his “Grace Like a Flood” deck (list linked in the video description), which was great to see in action because I really hadn’t looked over the list all that closely until now. So, without further adieu, enjoy the game!

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.
