First of all you're trying to block. So you might want to fix that. Second, are you absolutely sure you can't play the new Nebuchadnezzar? Seems like a great purple king. Otherwise, I am very tempted to take this build and swap Regrets, Nebuchadnezzar (foil), the deceiver for seize him, the Sanhedrin and proud pharisee, and put Judas in the reserve.  I'm not sold on proud pharisee and seize him I feel like there are two better black cards you could throw in or just more offense.

Proud pharisee is mostly there for a play first Unsuccessful (or even Stone) which is pretty consistent. Regrets is pretty nice though, so maybe I could cut Paying Taxes for it. Nebby is a possibility, but then I might as well go all crimson and if I did that, I wouldn't play the new one anyway...

I think your offense needs paying taxes to to hit RBD or something. I would cut seize him over paying taxes because you can't really rely on it being a battle winner because of it's negatability ( a Redemption word I made up to sound smart). Unless you feel like you're consistently hitting your opponents SoG.....

Looks like a great deck! Hobbit has some good points.

Sweet build!

I see that your offense doesn't use CBN battlewinners and your defense is actually trying to block.  Seems like Coliseum could potentially be a great addition.  Stone of Thebez is really the only card in your deck affected by Coliseum.

I'd recommend trying out some version of the Black/Orange/Gray defense I ran at Nats - see this post (https://www.cactusforums.com/redemption-card-play/defensive-meta-thoughts/).  It's not a big change from where you are now, and Coliseum can simply win you games.

Is adding King Amaziah and Valley of Salt? Amaziah isn't as insane as it used to be, but can still be useful. And Valley is another interrupt battlewinner (and probably better than Out of Bethlehem for the deck)
