Last week’s deck was all about this year’s new Regional Promo, so it seemed fair that this week I should give some love to our new State Promo. While Samson definitely isn’t as impactful as Prince of the Air, he has a role and I think a deck like this is one of the few ways to find it until the Judges theme gets a little more love. The game for this week is Lackey Grand Prix #21 Round 2 against GamerDad80, who brought his latest rendition of “Steal the Stuff”, a Joshua/Thieves build he’s been working on. As a prelude for the game, I’ll also be covering some of the recent spoilers we’ve been seeing from the new set and giving some thoughts on those.
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.
