I was slaughtered by this deck in round 2. It was VERY good!

Yea I was very surprised at how well it did. I had all the pharisee stuff in at 56 but so was my sealed deck at 56 and it lost because of everyones drawing and I felt the same way here so I cut all the pharisee and went with a different plan of defense which was to keep them off SoG/NJ and race. Glass Cannon suites the deck well and I know there are some card choices that can be cut for better ones but the cards that are good pulled the deck to victory. It was really a chance to test cards like Fishers, Catch, Authority of Peter, Sorrow of Mary, and Emperor Tiberius. They all did well and I only had one whiff which was with Sorrow and hit nothing. I would love to add more cards to the deck like teal, jar, and meeting the messiah.

What's "Glass Cannon"? Nice deck cliff, I like the light hand control. What deck won?

Congrats man awesome deck and 2nd place.  Congrats on winning T2 as well.

In RPGs its a term for a character, vehicle, weapon, build, etc. that has high very damage output but low defense, life, durability, etc.

Just another speed deck, nothing to see here. I think it's bad because it's a mono colored speed deck, but hey, it worked for you, so congrats. I'm assuming you took only a loss to Red with Judges?

 There's no way 2 blocks and Sorrow should be able to last a long tournament like Nats or Regs - it seems like a Captain basically wins the game against you except for maybe one wives block?

That is correct. I had a misplay where i forgot he had Nazzy down and I tried to live the dream with a well timed Mayhem on his draw step when I should have just played it on my turn with 3 cards in hand and play my fishers to try and get his SoG to the bottom FTW.

4-5 loss me

I never said the deck was good. I literally threw it together right before the event started. It was fun to see it do as well as it did.  There is more to a game of Redemption than just card choice, but it helps I'm sure.

Nah man you are good - I was just commenting. It's good enough to take second. The only real surprisingly part to me is how little defense you were able to get away with.

I would have liked another defensive card in the deck.
