[@baolocle6849]

"A wild miscalculation..." "My calculations are flawless!"

[@bird3713]

Only thing better than trumps opening analysis is banter back and forth with his editor.

[@robm6726]

agreed

[@MTankTheTurtle]

It really helps when he introduces a deck with explanation of why he's using it or why it's popular, so please keep them 💖

[@Justinaaaaa]

Justifying why certain cards are or are not in decks is great. Helps solidify the audiences understanding of what the decks plan is. Opinion: me

[@amermaidofunusualsize860]

in regards to the intro, I think its a big part of the trump experience, so I think its important to leave in

[@Gameboyer721]

Love analysis in the intros. I can't catch streams so I love hearing Trump's thoughts and strategies on his decks!

[@TheReaperRonin]

Like the analysis, helps make me a better deck builder, keep it.

[@gunnarkoger2259]

Ronnie Rhodes I agree but it’ll bore a lot of people just here for the content so I think that keeping the audience engaged is best for trump and to maybe put all the analysis stuff in the middle of the video

[@phen6075]

Trump: "yo Jens, my audience isn't 100% 4Head bois" --- Audience "4Head"

[@vonBelfry]

I like the in-depth analysis. It's a card game, man. He's comparing cards, and that's useful information!

[@Jack-kn1mr]

I'm ok with the trump wisdom only so long as Jens is smack talking in the background

[@ricardomilos10]

YAY, TOKEN DRUID IS BACK, PLAY TREANTS AND DOBLE SAVAGE ROAR FOR LETHAL IS BACK! Said no one ever

[@KyleSigley]

I watch these videos BECAUSE of his humdrum demeanor.

[@ericmat1959]

I really enjoy the discussion and deck building aspect of the intros. I kind of miss seeing the decks being built like they used to be back during Whispers of the Old Gods. If we could see that for included in the videos I think it would be greatly appreciated.

[@CptnCardboard]

"Token Druid is Back!!" loses all the games in the video

[@Doost311]

He lost the last match for playing WAY too safe on an aggro oriented deck, he played around stuff with 2 cards in hand against a full hand warrior, he was at the point that he needed to just all in.

[@Athelox]

token druid is back! with 4:4 win ratio

[@ksnight9326]

this man is a total rookie

[@Robert399]

He's playing a weird version of token druid though

[@horner385]

The discussion is entertaining Keep it

[@patricklembacher2909]

The analysing intros are the Most interesting parts of KZbin videos to me. I really enjoy them, honestly they are the reason why Im watching you. No other Hearthstone KZbinr is doing them even close as good as you.

[@Kormelev]

I like the intros. Makes it all the funnier when the deck falls flat in the coming matches.

[@HaiskaDude]

The opening intro is the best part of the video. Never get rid of it Trump!

[@Neodeleux]

I really like the reasoning for the decisions on the intro, helps me understand his mind set and maybe even the meta a little more.

[@aNgRyChAiRx1]

I really enjoy the intros like that, its interesting and gives some reasoning for how your deck is built

[@ashe274]

I like the intros a lot. It's nice to get a quick summary of the idea behind the deck and Trump's custom tweaks (if any) Also it's a great time to throw some of your signature edits in ;)

[@PrimeGamator]

I think it's the first time i've seen a youtuber/streamer and his/her editor discuss something in such a unique way. This was hilarious, well played both of you. Also i vote for explaining card choices mid-game so that the intro isn't that long but we are not left out on the information

[@ViciousViscount]

Been watching you dude since Naxx came out. Never change.

[@imchipjames]

So like a couple days ago?

[@tallionsadar5227]

Wait, Naxx is out?! And WHERE was I?

[@ViciousViscount]

@@tallionsadar5227 Probably busy wiping on Onyxia :)

[@brads6736]

That intro was golden, gotta keep it. I like context for the games i'm about to watch, same with my stories. That's why i prefer all my stories begin with the big bang so i have the proper context for what's about to happen.

[@cademadson1917]

As someone who's been playing a lot of token druid since release I found the discussion at the beginning valuable

[@anomaly7853]

I quite enjoy all of your pre-gameplay commentary, Trump.

[@Varrocked]

Those kinds of intros are fine; I watch just about every constructed HS video that comes out looking to see how the game plays out every expansion despite never actually playing myself; it's some of the best casual entertainment I get these days.

[@ezekielbenavides2740]

I for one, enjoy hearing Ttrump's intros to the decks, his reasoning for choosing 1 card over another.

[@MadHatter1B3]

The record scratch stop music from the editor was hilarious and I always think it's funny when the editor and the streamer interact like this.

[@torchick163]

Trump I love hearing your input on hearthstone decks! You're one of my main sources of hearthstone info and hearing you talk about a popular deck and your thoughts on it are very helpful and interesting

[@sorrowsong08]

I really like the intros to decks....it gives more of a feel of what he's trying to accomplish and how. More of the thought process gives context to the matches.

[@wufeizhang]

I originally started watching trump for his insight on his decision making and deck buildings when the game first came out. So, yeah. I enjoy seeing Trump's insight on decks.

[@Tyman_o7]

I like the intro it gives the video, together with the outro, a neat structural frame.

[@ST-nv5cs]

Hey first time commenter. I'd just like to say that I really appreciate having the intros to talk about the deck or the context of the metagame. Its actually one of my favorite parts. I find it very informative. Thank you for reading!

[@dagemini2]

Trump by far has the best outro. Never gets old

[@Leonx818]

The Intros are great keep them in. I learn something new almost every intro!

[@dunmatta2670]

I actually didn’t mind if waltz of the flowers played in the background for the entire video as long as Trump makes at least 2 hilarious misplays for you to meme. Love you Jens

[@matthewspencer7058]

I've enjoyed playing Hungry Crab for token druid as a 1 drop in this early stage of the new expansion

[@Alter292]

Matthew Spencer I get that reasoning. I find that I don’t care about murloc shaman though haha

[@matthewspencer7058]

@@Alter292 It's not just for shaman murloc, but also good for Hench-Clan Hogsteed, which has seen some play. But yeah, really fun to disrupt those murlocs :)

[@froggy9710]

As someone who is a fan, I like the analysis that's included. As someone who's aware of importance of capturing the short attention span of people who aren't really interested in your video, I'd move it to the end or to the middle.

[@jrgmen]

i like trump explaining the deck with music that goes with it

[@MrMuffin3001]

The interaction between Trump and Jens in the intro makes it enjoyable and funny, probs to Jens for that.

[@NMFilip]

I really enjoy seeing the introes and reasoning behind the changes, leave them in!

[@Raxerm]

When it's something short like that, I'd say definitely keep it in. It gives some interesting insight into what Trump's unique card choices to an otherwise pretty standard deck are, and also something to focus on. Something along the lines of _"oh, he put that in for that reason, I'm gonna pay attention to how well that works out!"_ And I find that engaging.

[@pellegrinopwns]

Editing and your discussion are made for each other. I do miss your anime intros, those had me laughing like a mad man, keep up the great work! Wind be at your back.

[@Rychus]

Never change. I love the style of the video and delivery.

[@brentramsten249]

i dont watch trump often, but when i do, its because he has great intros.

[@Oddler]

I like the intros it's always interesting and informative seeing the opinion of different pro players on certain card choices. I personally like "deck tech" style intros but that's just me

[@littlej211]

Trump’s analysis of the deck, its cards, and its place in the meta is what makes his channel my top choice!

[@LeHeartly]

I really like the intro discussion / deck breakdowns at the start of the videos. I'm actually surprised to hear that this is up for feedback because I always felt like it was natural and entertaining. Getting your thoughts are just as fun and entertaining as the gameplay; I can go to countless places for HS gameplay, but this is the only place where I can get Trump's thoughts and ideas, and that has value. When some videos just go straight into gameplay I do get a bit bummed out but I do understand that if there's nothing meaningful or new to be said than nothing should be said at all. But if there is a bigger movement where we cut them out entirely going forward, I'll understand. Do what you feel is best for your content and audience. I'll still be around to enjoy your in-game stream of consciousness and banter, haha.

[@briankelly1240]

Intro, *keep!!*, The early drops see the most games, due to being dropped so early on. How you start a game, particularly in a token deck, is vital!

[@HERECMSTHERANE]

I'd say the decklist discussions are cool... as long as they stay short and sweet like this one is.

[@GreenT_LoR]

I actually like the analysis comparison at the beginning. If anything, I would like to have stats and stuff later when we get more data. ^^

[@ROYBGP]

I love it! Especially with you poking fun at him.

[@butitaintralphthough6705]

crystallizer is such a necessary card to the deck!! it’s what makes the 2 1/2’s so strong, it’s a free 5 armor!

[@TomJakobW]

How is that irrelevant heal necessary? The card's in the deck because it's the only vanilla 1 Mana 1/3 currently out there. When health gets any relevant for board-flood-decks, it's over anyway. weird start-of-the-new-year-lack-of-cards situation.

[@butitaintralphthough6705]

Tom correct me if i’m wrong, but you’re coming across as someone who has no idea what they’re talking about?

[@MadeagoestoNam]

I love analysis in the intro. Also, there is an Arcane Explosion in the deck because everyone is playing Token Druid.

[@justanoman6497]

It's interesting how despite him talking about going all in and hope for no brawl... he doesn't.... not casting power of the wild on the ancient turn effectually cost him a 5/1 (which would have been used to clear the vault, leaving up a 6/6 instead of 6/2, assuming opponent not doing any thing different. note this trade is determined by the hero power, as otherwise 6/2+5/1 might be better than a 6/6) Had that been followed up with aids, with 3 6/6 and 4 2/2s, neither baron nor boom would have been able to clear fully. Alternatively, using the aids on the turn it's drawn, to be buffed with power of the wild, 6/2, 2 6/6 and 4 3/3s would still be hard to clear Not that either would have won him the game, as the boom play would clear off at least an ancient and 2 treant (assuming RNG persist, 7(or even 9) bomb damage and 7 attack damage, even at worst spread should be able to do that). And savage roar on 2 ancient and 2 treant won't be quite enough (27/29, awfully close but...) Mind, all this would have fallen apart quickly if the opponent actually had a brawl, which he could and have been holding cause he could clear the board via other means. But trump was really behind at the end there--opponent is at over 30 hp and trump had very little resource. I don't know how good his chances are by going conservative there. It's the type of place where I'd go all in as I don't expect any long game to pan out.

[@Alter292]

Just Anoman Yeah, for some reason he forgot he was the token Druid and not the control warrior. Not sure how he got confused there. There’s no way his deck outvalues the warrior. I like his deck building and card analysis. His piloting needs some work

[@MatusFinchus]

That third game just shows how RIDICULOUS Warrior is at the moment. Answers to Every. Single. Play.

[@inquisitorgrand]

While I do like Crystallizer in the deck, I've actually been cutting them for 2 *Starfalls* because of all the Murloc Shaman and other Token Druids I've been facing. Also combos really well with Stalladris. Another card I've been running with decent success is *Violet Spellsword* of all things. I don't have Wispering Woods, so I ran Spellsword instead and having a 4 mana 5/6 or 6/6 on turn 4 feels so good, especially against slower decks like Bomb Warrior. I'd honestly consider it.

[@ChaunchoCYM]

I appreciate the discussion of card choices before the video

[@joshrainbow7268]

Intros are very good! Let’s you see the deck list & possible variants on it

[@CheesyCheeser18]

I and seemingly a lot of others like the discussions at the start...dw Jens, we're not bored! I find the whole Trump vs Jens thing entertaining too btw lol

[@ainsleylarkin11]

I love info. I love learning about the meta and sharing my own findings with others

[@MasterOfInfinity]

Keeper Stalladris as the new Permanent Secretary of Value Town

[@FelipeAndrade10]

I like to watch the intros when i want to play the deck. I think have the intro with the option to skip is the best solution

[@XyntXII]

deck building detail discussions are great!

[@joaomiranda6364]

The reasonings I believe are super important, I can't catch the streams where these discussions happen and would love to see more of it

[@Snocone333]

i get why short and sweet intros is good, but a clever edited little thinking point isnt so bad either!

[@Beetlegoose94]

Guaranteed that Trump can do these explanatory intros, as long as jens does a few memes during it

[@muqali4203]

Mecharoo being a mech is very relevant vs warrior. One reason why I favor the roo. Also, since war/rogue are the main competition bloodsail corsair is very tempting. I run 1.

[@Catatonic419]

I like the choices laid out for the one spot

[@NOISYxNINJA]

I think its definitely worth talking about a lot of games are decided now in the first couple turns it feels like

[@tykez1399]

I love the intros as it is Trump

[@BandOfTheHawk2]

Trump needs to cut Stalladris, not because he isn't good, but because the temptation for the value play is too strong for him to resist.

[@Otek_Nr.3]

I actually started watching trump all those years back, because he could explain his decisions so well. I knew why he put that card in or why he didn't use that other card, and that really helped me understand hearthstone a lot better and made watching him much more entertaining! Pls leave the introductions in!

[@emilymorelli5469]

Best video editter ever. If I ever post youtube videos I'll have to find this guy.

[@MCBeastiness]

I love the trump analysis at the start of videos! I miss old trump intros where he'd clean his glasses and hand in a 3000 word essay on why he's playing the deck

[@92blim]

the edits make the comparisons interesting

[@cm3809]

I want more and longer gameplay cuts in general as well as the intro analysis

[@jamesfowell6203]

I think it is! I say keep. I'm not just here to see cards be played, I'm here to hear from Trump ^^

[@xXLadoXx100]

Please keep the short meta and card choice analyses in the beginning, they're my favorite part of the video!

[@BIGhappyG33]

I very much like the little deck explanations

[@7UPDoge]

The crystalizer is best because you can follow it up with the 2 lifesteal minons and heal back to full

[@KhannUurrr]

I think a 1 mana 1/3 is so good that Paladin having access to Glow-Tron AND Crystalizer makes it strong

[@paulmaurice3102]

The discussions inthe intro is thebestthing in the world

[@jacobisPlayR3000]

Intro, no intro. I'm watching every second of every trump video.

[@acrophobia2025]

I've long since quit hearthstone, but still watch this channel for the analysis.

[@lassyplz]

Well I enjoyed the little intro analysis, but idk if it's the edits that made it interesting. Either way I really like it when there's little Jens and Trump interactions of them teasing each other.

[@_Vesper]

The Trump intros are my favourite part xD

[@stephenmerriman415]

The conversation on viability is what we come to trump for... leave the intro in!

[@weegee_]

With Keeper Stalladris, I think all the art already existed for the individual copies of the "choose one" cards didn't it? When you play "Power of the Wild", the choose one choices show the art that is on the cards that go into the hand.

[@edgyman-fk]

Memes and analysis living in harmony is the kind of America I want to live in.

[@TandalfBeast]

I think the explanations would be alright to have in the end. That way they could go more in depth. But they are an important part of the video (and your discussions are fun too).

[@frankienerdyboy]

I would like if you did a quick analysis of cards you cut and why they are inferor to the ones included

[@Alex-cp8du]

The only hearthstone channel that consistently posts losses

[@daemon00]

Thank you Jens for keeping it spicy

[@itsjustaburningname3685]

I like the analysis in the intro, but if it ever fits better in another part of the video, then that would be good too!

[@mirkofraccastoro7573]

In this case the comparison shows how your deck is different and makes this gake worth eatching from a learning more about the deck standpoint, keep it in in thesee cases

[@gandhihartono7930]

Bro what is meta deck is good now? IM new play this game, please somebody tell me what the first build deck to easy beat in ranked match.

[@ryankreitzer775]

I love Trump's explanations! They may not be very... concise, but he's very intelligent and I'm glad to hear his thoughts!

[@AnimeVampire234]

i was debating on putting baron into my muck shammy deck, just to counter token/aggro decks
