Lackey Grand Prix #17 is quickly wrapping up with this week’s Round 4 of Swiss before Top Cut. Somehow I managed to find myself undefeated up until this point in the tournament, which gives me reasonable odds to cut, but I gotta get through the Baboony first…

So this week I’m taking on BaboonyTim with a Joshua/Edomites deck that I figured could have a shot against his latest Nativity build, but also includes some fun little combos with The Inhabitants of Sier to banish the stuff I take from my opponent. It’s a little too cute to be competitive, but it definitely has the potential for some shenanigans which I’m always here for. As suspected, Tim did run his latest Nativity build, which he has dubbed Brutal Nativity and you can check out on his YouTube channel here.

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.
