I like that while you are putting on a funny voice and adding little jokes to the script, you're still answering the question in a thoughtful and helpful manner. I've been playing for a while now and the way you explain concepts like this shows me there's always more to learn even if I think I've learned everything. Thanks for the content Maldhound, it's always a pleasure to watch.

Step one: isolate combo
Step two: build deck around combo
Step three: have combo ready to play on an open gamestate
Step four: feel guilty about being so much better than the rest of the table you concede instead

I know you arent a standard player but this is even helpful for that format. Great tips, also one more. DO NOT MAKE CHANGES TO DECK LIST WHEN TILTED.

This is actually a solid guide for breaking down common deck building (obviously there are outliers), well done.

Day 4 of requesting a video for Xantcha, Friendship Ender.

Regardless of how funny this video aims to be the concepts are actually very accurate to the core values of deck building. Having a win con and facilitating said win con are not the most important things but also they manifest their importance in different ways

I actually prefer reducing a number to 1 over reducing a number to 0—my life total, because I used it to win.

I was poor and homeless before this video and I applied this deck building guide to all aspects of my life and now I'm rich living in a huge house with lots of fancy cars and foreign women. Thanks for the life changing advice!

closers are SO IMPORTANT. a lot of new players me included thought enough synergy could naturally equal a win but dedicated bombs are an absolute must for any consistency

I haven’t played Magic in 7 years and was bad at making my own decks. This video made more sense to me on what to look for in deck building. WTF?!

[MomirsLabTech]

Mald once again out here with very solid advice for new deckbuilders. Doing Magic God's work.

[chetasaur]

this is unironically very helpful info i just started playing like5~6 months ago and alot of my decks straight up just dont feel like they can win outside of whatever stupid combo 2-3 card combo i have decided to mindlessly jam into my pile of tribal synergies. i may have to start by ripping a deck or two apart and examining them with these criteria. thank you for an easy to follow guidelines!

In my Mono Green Zopandrel I cannibalized the Naya Precon from March of The Machine for Conclave Sledge Captain and the Backup 3 Wurm that digs into the top of your deck and let me tell you going 36 cards deep to find something to turn "I can probably live this, " into "Fuck your stupid single braincelled Green Stompy deck." Is glorious

[You-seem-sus.]

Simple and effective, one of the best guidelines for deckbuilding in my opinion.

1:26 "You can fill it with whatever random crap" I wasn't expecting this video to become Midrange 101.

[ericstrahler]

Genius presentation. Loved the fireplace poker pointer. The sibling go to weapon of choice for a home brawl.

[TN]

I expected more jokes but this is actually just 100% good deck building advice

[rudyh]

This is a good tutorial for new players and I’ve been building decks for a while but ngl still helpful

[Wilebane]

Commander is less about the deck being built around the commander and more of the commander giving ways to reach a goal via color options and abilities. Thats why ramp/draw/tax fraud commanders are so good like korvold, chulane, animar, many others

[thisiskindabadass]

Was expecting a meme, got a genuinely good guide with nice humor, good shit bro

[erikwilliams]

No lie, this is one of the best guides ive seen
