When Priests was first introduced, teal caught the world by storm. It had crazy battle winners, powerful Heroes, and many interrupts. Teal became even more powerful with FooF with Zerrubabel's Temple. With only 2 cards, many Priests became protected from discard, capture, conversion, and removal from the game. However, with RoA, teal became a lot less played with the introduction of Garden Tomb and other strategies. However, I want to show that teal is still, in my opinion, the most powerful offense out there.
This year, I was blessed enough to be able to attend my first ever National Redemption Tournament, and I had a blast. Besides meeting a whole bunch of great people and getting to play a game I love, I managed to take first place in Type 1 2-Player with a deck pretty much out of left field: Genesis and Rome.
I love playing Booster Draft! Lately I've made arrangements with tournament hosts to exchange my judging services for the opportunity to play only this one category free of charge. It's a great deal; I get to play my favorite category and pick up some new FoOF cards and the host gets to play 2 or 3 categories.
Ok, first let me say this is my first time ever posting a deck on here so be nice to me.
So this is the deck that I went 3-0 with at a MN local. I know I know, it's not a great record but what can I say, it was a small tourney. But hey, Justin Alstad was there (notice I don't mention that he was playing or not). The person who came in 7th at MN states was there, and yes, he was playing.
We’ve had several months now to explore Faith of Our Fathers (FoOF) and the impact it will have on Redemption. Players have found all kinds of fun ways to use and abuse the cards from this new set. With the big, season end tournaments right around the corner, I’d like to take time to go over the Faith of Our Fathers tins to share some of my favorite uses for FoOF cards. I’ll inevitably miss many great uses, so please feel free to comment and add your own favorites.

So you have those new FoOF cards. You might be saying "FoOF? What's FoOF!?!?!?" Well my friend, FoOF is a set of 100 new cards, all of which are very useful, arranged in groups of ten predetermined cards which are sold in tins continaing the 10 FoOF cards and 5 booster packs (Unlimited, Prophets, Apostles, Kings, and Priests). FoOF tins are commonly used around Redemption Nation for the booster draft category at tournaments as well. Today we will be focusing on the Sitelock portion of FoOF's addition to Redemption strategem. So, let's get going!
Hey again! This article shall be about...Cake...moist delicious....No wait...That isn't it...O yes it was Dominants.
Abnormal uses and how to thwart others Dominants, to be exact!
First lets see each Dominants and it's basic function.
With the release of the Priests expansion came the addition of Curses, the evil equivalent of Covenants. We've had a full year plus some to see how this new card type would affect game play, and I am of the opinion that Curses are now one of the most important parts of any defense. This holds especially true in Type 2, where Curses can come in twos and threes. In this short guide, I hope to enlighten you on some of the ins and outs of Curses, how to play them and how to counter them.
I used this musical offense to win third in the Ironman tournament at 2007 Nationals. I shall now dissect it and show YOU how to build, use, and win with this very fun offense!
This type of offense was introduced in the Priests expansion, so most of the cards will be from there, and most of them are un/common so it is fairly easy and inexpensive to make this offense.
This offensive strategy is very easy to understand but can be difficult to pull off due to the three Heroes needed. I will add suggestions to help it out.
What I’m about to share with you is a completely different approach at Site lockout than anything you’ve probably seen before. This deck doesn’t use any Evil Characters or evil Enhancements, yet it frequently denies your opponent access to any Lost Souls. How is that possible without using Evil Characters, you ask? By taking advantage of cards very few people actually play with: offensive Site killers.
I'm posting this deck and the strategy of it in the hopes of increasing strategy within the game. Before I go further, major props go out to Tim "Sir Nobody" Maly, who game up with the basic idea for the deck, which I modified ever so slightly (at Nationals, it turned out our two decks had the same 42 of 56 cards). I actually built a second deck for Nationals, which I was going to play if and only if I played Tim, which wound up happening. I may post that deck later, but for now, here's my main Type 1 2-player deck that went 5-0 to win Illinois State and went 7-2 to place second at the 2007 Nationals :
Ok, so many of you may have seen me on the message boards talking about how much I was really really looking forward to having booster draft using the new Faith of Our Fathers tins. I would say stuff like "Yea, I remember back when Decipher came out with this and that for Star Wars and it was Great!" Well, I have since participated in a FoOF booster draft, and yes, it did live up to my expectations. So, for those of you who may have never participated in a booster draft using something like FoOF, I'm gonna give you a few tips today, then over the next few weeks I'm going to start posting some articles on cards you should look for while drafting. Anyway, here are a few good tips to remember when participating in a Foof-ter draft.
