Hi Everyone,

I geeked out and used AI for a few hours to help me to complete the most up to date Redemption Card list, since the one I found online was a few years old. I made it using the information from the Redemption CCG Viewer, so it is as accurate as that site is.

Link is here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PWBEgxrrv7sc3vrTQdFmFx0qidN0p-tC/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=113595074467970990514&rtpof=true&sd=true

If you have any suggestions for changes let me know and I'll update. I did not color code the multi colored brigades manually and let them be, the AI was having a hard time coloring them.

A reminder for all prayerfully discerning to honor Terry's 1st tournaments of 2026. Blessings.

Hi Chris,

Shouldn't the name of the 2025 National Redemption Promo be Redemption instead of Resurrection?

Yes it should. It is fixed now. Thank you for finding that.

The Results from the Third Annual Thomas Jay Chambers Memorial Tournament! We had 14 total players on Saturday.

1st Place - Jay Chambers (MI)
2nd Place - Jayden Alstad (MN)
3rd Place - Tim Estes (CA)
4th Place - Marc Vellake (NY)

Our Top Four Match-ups were

Jayden Alstad Vs Marc Vellake
Jay Chambers vs Tim Estes

Jayden defeated Marc 2-1 in a nail biting match between one of the best players in the game and an underrated playgroup leader from two different regions of the country. This match finished three games within the chess clock time limits. This game is available on Redemption with Jayden.

Jay defeated Tim in a clash of titans 2-1, finishing three games within the time limit. In game 3, Jay attacked for and rescued his fifth soul with 3 minutes remaining on Tim's clock. This footage is available on BaboonyTim's channel, currently pending upload.

Jay and Jayden, two contemporary personalities with a long history of tournament rivalry in T1-2P faced off in an epic finals match that saw Jay win game 1 in a nail-biter that saw over half of Jayden's clock depleted. Jayden then won a hard fought game 2, for his clock to expire on the third turn of game 3, leading to Jay's victory in the finals and taking his second victory over the tournament that honors his two departed sons (y'all, it is weird writing in third person about yourself).

Thanks to all for coming out!
