Ive played versions of this list through 6 weeks of a journeyman league. I still like it, and Rez1 has game. Maybe not A+, but he can surprise folks, or even when not, really punish them through the game. If he has 1 great weakness that holds him back from being a real contender, its his FOC stat. Were he FOC7, so much about him becomes very workable. Itd be nice to see that happen. Either that, or Brand needs to be cost 2 at very least. Missing Brand is SO punishing.

It definitely feels like a B+ list that can just shut down a good portion of A+ lists and fail to others. You get the Scourge missile against every opponent at least once and it feels so satisfying to do it. I've played it every chance I could, as well, to very promising results. I really wish his feat was better for defensive purposes. Sevy0 really swings Brand's percentages in your favor, so missing hurts way more.
I've been throwing away a dervish or two every game to get a better alpha. The Redeemer/Repenter bit really pulls the weight of the list for me most games, especially since they never need focus if you Brand the target. At some point, I'll experiment with a list similar to his MkII theme, with Reckoners and Vanquishers, but the light spam feels good.
Sanctifier spam in Faithful Masses is also something I want to look at. Two units of Zealots as your infantry option, then just Choir and Sanctifiers. They fuel themselves, but the list also does not allow Sevy0.

Redeemers + Brand are the workhorses for me. People are wary or Scourge and dervishes, and even repenters, but you really cant avoid a run/arc Brand plus a pile of redeemer shots.

With the theme force changes in Requisition Points, I'm calling Exemplar Interdiction Rezniks new home if everything else stays the same. Removing the need to cast Hex Blast really opens up our ability to camp or allocate.
It also turns Scourge into even more of a monster, not only does he not care about upkeeps when he has Blessed weapons, but he hits smashes things better if they have them.

Blessed+Purgation can be a bit of a trap though. Enemies are already going to probably not bother with upkeeps if you have Purgation. Adding blessed means they definitely won't bother, so you're less likely to get to use Purgation. Of course, a lot of players might forget that EI gives blessed to all jacks anyway.
Funny thing is most of the time when I get to use Purgation, its against someone who didn't have a defensive upkeep, but rather an Animus or an upkeep that gave them a different buff of some kind(like when I murdered Butcher3 because he left Silence of Death on himself).

I think that's exactly where it'll work out. Nobody is going to waste defensive upkeeps, but a lot of units need some kind of offensive upkeep to deal with all the boxes that Reznik brings.

Can confirm that absolutely nobody will forget EI gives Blessed to Warjacks. That's one of the more complained-about abilities.
I agree that EI is Reznik1's native home now, unless Guardians gets a real shot in the arm. He wants Sevy0 bad, Blessed is amazing for him, and the solo selection in EI is quite good (two Warders please, thanks). We will have to see where the theme benefits sit after release though.
Here's a draft list that I put together.
Reznik1, EI -Hierophant -Judicator -Redeemer -Redeemer -Repenter -Repenter Severius0 -Redeemer
Choir (min) Choir (min) Rhoven & Honor Guard Exemplar Warder Exemplar Warder
Depending on needs, a Redeemer can become a Revener + Mechanik and a Warder can become Gade. Also, worth considering the Menite Archon for Fuel over Rhoven, since you have two SGs already.
In an interesting take, I think FM becomes Reznik2's home. I am envisioning a buttload of Sanctifiers and Castigators that get pretty gross with Initiates.

I've ran Amon in FM with 3 Sanctifiers, double Idrians. It worked incredibly well. +5/+7 is serious business and cracks any defense and armor, while the Idrians clear up infantry
