I have updated my Soul Surfer article with the refined version of my Soul Surfer deck build that I just won the Lackey Grand Prix #14 with. A video of the Top Cut Final with AgurTheWise is included in the article with commentary by AgurTheWise and BaboonyTim. It is quite different from the version I shared in December 2023. A slightly earlier version of this deck build (preserved in the change log) also won the RobM Zoom Series 16 back near the end of January.

This is the deck build I had been planning to run at Nationals as I feel it is my best deck build but then on Tuesday when the Guardian of Your Souls (Nats promo) was spoiled I realized that might be ill advised since it counters the whole offense for the most part. However, in the past couple days I realized how to modify Soul Surfer to allow it to work through Guardian of Your Souls (promo) and as a bonus I have included that deck list in addition to the list that just won the LGP #14. A Matthew based offense is still a viable offense I believe when constructed a certain way even when Guardian of Your Souls (promo) becomes tournament legal. Here is the article on Land of Redemption: https://landofredemption.com/cthetrees-take-on-soul-surfer/

I have written a deeply personal article to the community entitled "The Confessions of a Redemption Family Man". In this article I openly share my quest to become a top Redemption player while also being a husband and father and what I have learned from that experience.

Be sure to read to the end of the article for a VERY important announcement about the future of Land of Redemption. I posted this a while back on the Redemption Discord and realized I should have posted it here too. Since the announcement has been out for a bit I will state it publicly here: I have transferred ownership of Land of Redemption over to Tim Estes (BaboonyTim). I have enjoyed very much being involved in Land of Redemption originally as an Editor and then as Owner over the past years. I know Tim will do a great job as Owner as he has been more than competent as an Editor.
