Another upside to Curse of Silence is that you can use it to name You Are Already Dead before swinging for lethal.

[@starcrow97]

Just wanted to say I was originally against the video name changes because they didn't convey the format before clicking the video. I am glad they have returned in some way, and integrating them into the new sentence structure is a nice change of pace from the old format. It lets you show off the witty, eye-catching opening blurb whilst keeping format still apparent. I think this is the best of both worlds and appreciate the good work!

[@NeonV01D]

24:17 Decking isn’t actually much of a concern, since Curse of Surveillance says any number of players, so you can just choose zero targets to avoid drawing too many cards.

[@LegenVD]

Good point!

If there was a tournament for deck building you'd win it every time. Original, cool, sleek construction, and always (or almost) competitive! Imma craft this one too. Thank you for giving me so many decks and ideas over the years, not to mention the play lessons and the puns! You da best.

[@Thomsco]

Nice touch with the "Subscribe to the channel?" instead of the "Did you have fun?" lol

[@LegenVD]

You noticed!

[@DinoAndSeal]

Thanks for taking this suggestion and for making it a standard deck rather than brawl! Deck looked great fun and I still haven't seen anyone else doing this-maybe because it's not as powerful, though your excellent playing might have disguised that somewhat. I had counterspells in my attempt to put this deck together but maybe they're better in the sideboard?

[@LegenVD]

The deck mostly plays at sorcery speed so can be difficult to leave up mana for counters. Definitely want ways to counter Farewell after sideboarding.

[@DinoAndSeal]

@@LegenVD really well played. Took down some strong plays. Curse of silence seems custom made for your aptitude at forecasting opponent's plays 🦀. Now you just need to copy them with yenna 😆

Double blue is a little too rough on the manabase, but didn't try it.

[@ExecutiveAutomotiveSociety]

I love decks like these. They just don't look like they would work. When they do it's control on another level and people can take these themes and really mold them in other ways. I started playing in 1993 and seeing how far its come has been compelling.

[@fabio1160]

Question: if you name an adventure card with Curse of silence, would you tax BOTH spells? Or do you need to name the specific one?

[@LegenVD]

Pretty sure it's only affecting half of the card, since they have different names.

Wonder if Asinine Tactics could make a cut in this deck as a mini boardwipe that draws you a bunch of cards with Curse of Surveillance.

I’ve been toying with the idea of Asinine Antics in a build similar to this. What are your thoughts on that card as a potential way to load the board with auras for Eriette?

[@reinhardveltrup9232]

It would be super cool if you could name the best alternative for the extremely expensive cards like sheoldred or wandering emperor, so people like me who watch these videos to build decks in paper aren't doomed to live in poverty. (I know, I should just think for myself, but your opinion is much more viable :D)

I personally don’t want to hear about this “eye rolling” over Shelly when most of the meta is mono red.

[@potest_nucis8012]

I don’t need a special deck to curse my opponents!

[@medzogg]

There is an aura "Clawing Torment" as a 1 mana spell which drain oppo each turn and make a creature -1/-1. Isn't it relevant in an Eriett deck ?

[@LegenVD]

Clawing Torment isn't a great removal spell in a control deck, much better in aggro. The creatures are a little better at filling that role.

[@mysticta0]

couldn't you have chosen yourself with Surveillance while Sheoldred is down, in some istances they'd have drawn 3/4 plus turn draw, it's a lot of damage

[@aardschok-]

@LegenVD wouldn't it also be good to play this type of deck with say clawing grasps? you could effectively have your opponnent get stuck with say a defending creature who can't block or defend and just eventualyl lose

Clawing Torment isn't a great removal spell in a control deck, much better in aggro. The creatures are a little better at filling that role.

[@apellesjohnson3675]

@legenvd If sheoldred is out, can't you have surveillance make the opponent draw cards and do tons of damage to them?

Curse says "other than that player", so it wouldn't work.

Hey apologies for bothering you like this was wondering what you thought of this I was doing a quick draft of WOE on arena today and my opponent used one red mana to candy grapple my creature and you will see they didn't even have black mana until there next turn in my opinion arena cheated me I question if I was even playing a real person any feedback or reaction would be greatly appreciated if you let me know how i can send video of the game
