Christ's Triumph 2x soul turn
it does though
"Failed Rescue Attempt
A rescue attempt has failed if at any point during the battle it was a Rescue Attempt and if at
the end of the battle resolution no Lost Soul is rescued by the Heroes as part of battle
resolution."
Eternal Inheritance to Christ's Triumph for 2 in 1 turn absolutely works by this definition
That's correct!
Overrated! :p
maybe kony bom is a better blend
Today at NC Regionals two players piloted this offense. There were games it got a really good draw and games where it stalled and the opponent was able to keep it in check. I judged so I had an outside perspective. It seems to me that when piloted by a good player it does really well against people that they will probably beat anyway (5-0) but when facing another top player it's much less likely to work.
Is this the same deck list every time?

On the other hand this enter archetype is brand new and highly experimental. Both of us were playing the same general idea of the deck but with different philosophies of how to run it (full speed with almost no defense vs a bit slower start but a substantial defense). Neither of the decks were even close to optimal and much more testing needs to be done. The deck certainly isn't going to blow out Nats but I do think it's possible to find a highly competitive build of the deck.
So when fully loaded, what does stop this?
I think this deck is good in type 1. JD will get the optimal deck list and then thenoffense can't be stopped. It just depends on how consistent it is and if your CoL is hidden in your deck with a bad draw or if they can disrupt him early on then I don't see this deck being able to recover. If this deck keeps beating everyone 5-0 people will seriously start considering it for nationals. Since the optimal version might not be made yet, this deck might not see play at nats sadly.
Unless something else pops up out of nowhere I'll be running this at Nats as well if for no other reason than it's extraordinarily fun to play.
I find the fact that a combo deck is competitive exciting! It's been a long time since that has been true in Redemption. We've been trying to slowly and carefully add pieces to the game to allow combo players to have their day. It's tricky because you don't want combo to be dominating and there's a very fine line. But viable combo deck is an important part of a healthy meta.
this is the first roj deck i have found to consistently 5-0 in testing
or epic toss battles and battle extension

hypocrisy 4x in t2 with this is crazy good. evil woes on belt to pick up and draw again. all the way to hypocrisy mayhem. it just occurred to me that you can have 2 kindness and 2 joy in t2!! probably will modify the deck around that being a possibility since this was built out of the t1 version
4x a soldier's prayer gets the armor out fast! and you draw back in to them with 4d coins and other placed enhancements.
+5/5 exp +7/0 increase + 6/6 +3/3 = 21/14 end game

JD's article about this deck for Land of Redemption will go live tonight at midnight.
Kony can be slayed. I did it twice hahaha. Third time was the charm for it.
I'm pretty confident Josh Knitt would have beaten JD's CoL offense in the final round if it wasn't for a mistake followed by a bad decision when he was on tilt from said mistake.
The CoL offense is very good but it's also very beatable. The thing is that most players are either inexperienced against it and/or unprepared to deal with it. CoL takes advantage of that better than most decks.
One thing I noticed at Nationals is that our community as a whole is of the mindset that they should be able to play competitively with very little practice and preparation. The game as it currently stands rewards those that practice and prepare. I know that Jay worked hard to prepare and spent hours practicing against what he though would be popular. So did the top 2 finishers who used CoL. But the majority of the T1-2P field had played against CoL two or fewer games.

What does Kony and/or Coney stand for? Why name the deck that?I finally got around to reading the article on landofredemption and doing some more research on this deck.
