The Threshing Floor

In this episode, we explore the upcoming Redemption expansion set titled End of Times, discussing its themes, new mechanics, and strategic implications for players based on the cards that have been shared with the community. 

Pre-Orders for End of Times are now open here.

On this long overdue episode, we review this past season's final event, Nationals in Wilmore, KY. Also, we sat down and chatted with the most decorated player in National Tournament history, Justin Alstad, following his epic run winning 2 categories at this year's event. 

Our latest episode starts with a truthful confession about the relief of being on the other side of episode 100. With the pressure of creating a big celebration for the milestone episode behind us, we are excited to push forward, starting with episode 101. 

Join us as we celebrate our 100th episode featuring BaboonyTim, Tyler Stevens, Chris Fachman and Charles Loria. This episode, originally a livestream, contains fun giveaways, the final 2 National Promos and some information about the latest set, which is expected to release later this year. We also got introduced to team Dragonraid and discussed the dynamics of teams within our small community. 

In this episode, we review some significant announcements from the game's leadership team that will shape the future of the game moving forward. We also share results from several tournaments that have happened since our last episode and unveil our updated Power Rankings. After that, we sit down with BaboonyTim who shares his journey from Magic the Gathering to Redemption CCG, his efforts in building community tools, and his vision for the future of online Redemption gameplay. Discover how his technical background and passion are shaping the game's digital ecosystem. 

In this episode, we dive into a very busy news cycle for the game since our last episode featuring details on a ton of fast approaching tournaments, results from a couple of the first State tournaments of the year and then a whole host of new spoilers from Roots 2. We even learned about some new product that will be offered at Nationals featuring the new Roots 2 cards. There's also some discussion on playgroup development, including plans to re-visit that topic on a future episode, that came from discussing an important update from the owner and creator of Redemption, Rob Anderson, regarding tournament hosting. 

In this podcast episode, Derek Tirado, joins us to share his journey of stepping back into the game after a hiatus, discussing the sense of community and family that the game fosters. The conversation touches on Derek's transition from owning Your Turn Games to starting a private investigation business, highlighting the unexpected turns and divine timing in his career path. This episode also features all the latest Redemption news and the return of Deck of the Week and Agur the Creator.

In this episode, we review recent news, including some exciting new tools that have been shared with the community, before discussing the excitement surrounding the upcoming tournament season. Then we switch gears to provide some insight on the new Paragon format as its creator Kurt Hake joins the podcast.

On this week's episode, we are joined by Justin Alstad to revisit the conversation started on our last episode. Justin brings a unique perspective as he has formerly been a member of the leadership team for the game, and is by all accounts, one of the most successful players in the history of the game. We drew from that experience and wisdom in this conversation as we discussed the complexities of card game rules and the distinction between misplays and game rule violations. We also touched on expectations moving forward and some potential ways to improve the current state of rulings and tournament procedures.
