[@BusinessCat88]

This is a great improvement for UW, where the goal is typically to make the opponent regret playing Magic in general

[@hansheinz8502]

Making the opponent regret playing Magic in general provides a lot of value!

[@kueapel911]

As an azor player, this is a massive slander. Our wholesome goal is to make everyone play mono white aggro and midrange decks. Our less wholesome goal otherwise, is to profit off those guys in LGS events.

[@danielklein5829]

Yeah I love Hylda because its a control deck which feels appropriately costed to play against and fair. AND actually gives a lot more agency to both players. Usually when I play a control player it feels like I'm fighting a dark souls boss, challenging if you're new to it but with enough practice the moves are clockwork which I feel is what the opposite of what a dynamic card game should be

[@allknighter5791]

@@danielklein5829Yeah I won’t lie as of recent azorius and magic the gathering control decks in general kind of feel a lot better. Probably because you actually have to engage and control the opponent and not just wait them out until you basically play mono green or discount mono green.

[@keithmpire]

There's an MTG youtuber named SlothMTG who has started experimenting with a short intro at the beginning, and saving the detailed breakdown for the end of the video. It works quite well, because the specific info is there for those who need it, but I think most of us are already quite familiar with most of these cards. The Sloth method is the best of both worlds!

As usual, thanks for the original decks and excellent gameplay explanation ! Small comment on 15:24, swiftboots do give haste on top of hexproof, so sentinel can tap things immediatly if you are willing to expose your queen for an attack step. Cheers !

I always look forward and fear your videos. As a regular arena player, especially brawl, I dread appearing as your latest fodder! Great videos, thank you!

[@jamesshaw6960]

I think you missed lethal at 19:20 by going for the 4/4 you could have pumped everyone instead for a 6/7, 6/6, 2/4, and 6/6, tap last creature to pump again for 7+7+3+7 and sanctuary gives you last counter for 25 damage with no blockers. Great video I also play her as my commander. Its crazy how you only need like 2 4/4 to go off with her.

[@LegenVD]

Indeed, was waiting for a missed lethal comment with the +1/+1 counter mode since I rarely use it!

[@bingshavebeenchilled]

This commander is such a fun way to play blue white. Was the first new brawl deck I made with the new set, and while my deck was no way near as good as this and I maybe won a max 20% of the time, the wins were so fun and felt so good! Considering building this in paper edh next, have wanted a home for verity circle since it was printed for some reason! Teferi who slows the sunset is such a bomb here

[@isidoreaerys8745]

Had an opponent drop an Enduring Vitality while I had Verity Circle out. Card goes Brrrrr against cryptolith Rite effects.

[@heitortremor]

I wonder if the new video title scheme is helping with engagement and getting more viewers. It was nice to get a text breakdown of the format and deck being played, but if this leads to more views and subs then I'm happy

[@caljam82]

Love the new video name style

[@artisticallyexpired3127]

Here's a fun addition. Add intruder alarm. It's odd for a deck that's trying to tap things, though it becomes stupid easily with cards like Junk Winder. 1. Have Junk Winder, Intruder Alarm, and Hylda on the field 2. Tap any creature 3. Hylda creates a token, which untaps all creatures, which Junk Winder then taps again, which triggers Hylda 4. Rinse and Repeat until you're out of mana, or if you have a mana dork, create infinite possibly mana to make infinite tokens 5. Profit

[@Bon_Appetit09]

Ive been playing Hylda for a few games, its so satisfying especially when they just rage quit

[@JRandall0308]

Land Tax really is ridiculous. It was a staple back in the day when we didn’t even understand card advantage.

[@LlywellynOBrien]

This deck is awesome, such a great spin on control. I love how hard it makes threat assessment for the opponent. Who has ever been threatened by half of these cards before?

[@AkodoNoEyes]

I added Sleep to the deck. A mass tap of opponents creatures has been very helpful.

If the new naming convention sticks around, I think adding the type of deck and format to the end of the title would be good. Makes it easier to tell what the vid is about

[@alexnile7785]

@@LegenVD I do like the new aesthetic changes, loses some info but is more generally appealing. My uninformed suggestion is some sort of subtle format symbol in the thumbnail like you do the deck colours - just to inform retained viewers without putting off new/casual viewers. I'm very impressed with your brand management and progression overall, you've clearly put a lot of thought and effort into it!

[@thrillhouse4151]

I’ve been interested in this commander, I’ve wanted the “freeze” and tapping cards to have a home or be useful somewhere. 27:12 also hype to see this card after playing so much Baldurs Gate 3.

[@nathanielbailey91]

A year later and still a banger, I have the crown in my golgari spider deck along with royal assassin causing my opponents to lose attacking creatures or if I want an open board

[@vanillamoon7353]

Would it be of value to add a card like Dowsing Dagger that puts a couple of small creatures on their side?

[@LegenVD]

I like the idea behind it, something along the lines of Akroan Horse could be good enough to make the deck.

[@vanillamoon7353]

Dowsing dagger also ramps 3 once transformed, so useful that way. I'm mostly arena and hadn't heard of Akroan Horse, but looking it up, I see similar virtue for a commander deck. This Hylda deck was a creative new twist on blue/white - thx, as always!

[@kennyainsley5777]

Calim, Djinn Emporer would be a good addition to the deck, card draw, tap and board presence over longer games, tons of value

I’m not a blue/white control mage. It’s probably my least favorite composition. But dang this deck is pretty cool. Tapping creatures seems like an underused mechanic that has some cool interactions.

[@AkodoNoEyes]

Okay isn’t there a card like Lands Edge that’s legal on Arena? (I think it’s a red battle). So Land Tax would be sick in a deck with it.

[@UTUB2kholle]

I must say I'm not a fan of your video titles since the last few days. They're imprecise and you don't know what you're clicking on. It could be standard, historic brawl, or something else. The deck is also undefined. Like the "No Rare Land" video, I didn't expect it to play around the green virtue, I kinda thought you were imposing a budget constraint to your deck or something. Even the joke at the heart of this one "they regretted playing a creature" is pretty bland. Often control decks make you regret playing creatures. So it's not that special. And regret playing A creature ? Weird wording. Tl;Dr please pretty please come back to your old naming practices Otherwise the deck and gameplay was nice.
