Join Jayden for a fun game with an Armor of God deck in the third installment of the Lackey Grand Prix!
Last week marked the start of Lackey Grand Prix #3 and I was paired up against Adam S (Oldmanmcgregor). I was inspired by some of the fans of Armor of God decks in our community to put together my take on what that kind of deck could look like in the GoC Rotation meta. I think there’s definitely some room for improvement and I’m looking forward to getting in some more games with it and making some adjustments, but I had fun with where it was in this game against Adam. He ran a very solid Angels and Demons deck, which of course is thematically pretty cool and for gameplay purposes are just naturally strong and synergistic themes. You can hardly tell that Adam is relatively new to the game and I’m glad to have him on the channel.

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.
