Tournament Legality

Card Pools

There are two card pools of cards that may be used for regular, constructed play in tournaments: “Limited” and “Unlimited”:

  • Limited - only those cards printed in the new format, without the scroll type Scripture box, are legal (cards on the Ban List are not legal).
  • Unlimited - all Redemption cards are legal (cards on the Ban List are not legal).

You can sort cards by going to the Singles section of the Your Turn Games website and filtering by “Limited Cards,” or by leaving this filter off and seeing all Redemption cards which fall under “Unlimited.”

Constructed Play

Type 1

·       Two Type 1 - 2 Player categories can be offered at all levels of tournaments.

·       Type 1 - 2 Player “Limited” (formerly called “rotation"). This is similar to Type 1 as you know it today.

·       Type 1 - 2 Player “Unlimited” (formerly called “classic”). This format will support the pool of all cards released in the game. It will be available at all levels of tournaments, including State, Regional and National tournaments.

·       Decks must be between 50 – 70 cards. The Reserve can be up to 10 cards.

 


Type 2

·       Type 2 - 2 Player uses the “Limited” card pool.

·       This format will allow 2 copies of a card per deck, regardless of brigade and type, except for Dominants and Lost Souls which are limited to 1 copy per deck. Decks require a balance of good and evil cards.

·       Type 2 decks must be between 100-140 cards. The Reserve can be up to 20 cards.

·       Experience credit will no longer be used in Type 2.

 

Teams

·       Teams play uses the “Limited” card pool.

·       This type of play allows for 2 players vs. 2 players.

 

Other Notes

·       All constructed categories have a unique ban list tailored to that category.

·       For more information, go to Redemption Resources tab à Deck Building Rules.

 

Rotation Schedule

Redemption will follow a standard rotation schedule every two years beginning at the start of the the 2027-2028 tournament season.

In August 2027 the following sets will rotate out of “Limited” categories and only be legal in “Unlimited”:

  • 4th Edition Starter Decks (I & J)
  • I/J+ cards
  • Tin XXVI cards
  • The Early Church
  • The Persecuted Church

  • Cloud of Witnesses

  • Revelation of John

A small number of promos and fundraiser cards may be banned in “Limited” categories when the standard version of that card rotates with the original set with which it was released. Details still to come.

In August 2029 the following sets will rotate out of “Limited” categories and only be legal in “Unlimited”:

  • Fall of Man
  • Prophecies of Christ
  • Lineage of Christ
  • Gospel of Christ
  • All promos and fundraiser cards without a date in the copyright line of the card.

Details are still being worked out, but following this schedule we expect the August 2031 rotation to include:

  • Israel’s Deliverance Starter Deck (K & L)
  • Israel’s Rebellion
  • Israel’s Inheritance
  • All promos up to a specific date in the copyright line.
