@ 13:21 you have no clue just how satisfying it is seeing hearing Legend get audibly excited to play a card. With how monotone and dry his voice and delivery can be, the small moments like that really make these videos worth watching.
Legend begging the Brisley Bill player to let him attack after he played Rabble-Rousing only for the opponent to immediately concede is truly a comedic masterpiece
I very rarely play magic, but I just bought my first commander deck so I can play with some geeks in the "card-clubs" in my city. No friends i know plays magic or find it interesting in any shape of form, but watching your videos just make me want to play SO MUCH! So thank you for that! keep pushing you deserve the every single view
Baylen has to be the strongest tokens commander I have ever seen in my many years of playing MTG! Been looking forward to making him in commander and brawl! Appreciate you tons, Luca!!!!
yeah, Baylen seems insane in 1v1. He does have to attack, in order to win, so might be slightly weaker as the tables have more players. But his ability to get value and chain plays together in response to removal makes him so versatile.
Yeah where the heck is he? On a wide board he's a 4MV Craterhoof. Pick a card at random and I'd probably rather have Jetmir. Lose the Primal Vigor and get our boy in there.
@dinklebob1 ehh I see LVD's point, he's kinda win more. I guess it's something cheaper to chord of calling for but if he gets removed at instant speed during combat it could be a total blowout.
Games 1 and 4 are why I wish Arena had an option to keep playing a game out. Just have the opponent pass each priority like they'd run out of time. But it would let crazy brews see the payoff
A white card I like for decks like this that care more about having a lot of tokens than necessarily having creature tokens is Great Desert Prospector. Not the fastest, but the Powerstone tokens are also kinda low value targets for your opponents, so unless they're just wiping everything, those are tokens that can stick around for later value.
Reminds me of one of my first Arena decks with Emmara, Shanna, Growing Rites of Itlimoc, Assure/Assemble, Trostani Discordant, and Huatli Radiant Champion
Really? Brawl is the cheapest format since A) You only need a single copy and B) Not having a single card is usually not the end of the world. You can almost always sub in something you already own or a similar card at lower rarity. I will concede that BIG/SPG/BLC additions you are unlikely to (or can't) get from opening packs is putting increased pressure on wildcards.
I built Baylen as well, but as a stormsplitter deck that tries to go off with rite of harmony and kill people in one go. Most fun I’ve had building a commander in years
@@LegenVD I think I will transform my Jetmir brawl deck in to a Baylen one. Keeping Jetmir in. The rabbit is cheaper and more flexible. The deck can win even without her.
Just in case you were talking about mana dorks as opposed to cards outside of main, standard legal sets: (Ignore brackets [] - they're just to indicate the start/end of the query) If you're using a site like Moxfield or Scryfall, [ otag:mana-dork mv
@@LegenVDand "e:blc" works the same. "e" for "Expansion", although it works for anything with a set code. Not a huge difference but it can save a couple keystrokes each time!
Certainly a consideration! Not reliably making mana early is a strike against it. Goose is great alongside commanders you want to get in play asap, especially if they cost 3 mana, but Baylen is often better when played a little later.
I didn't really understand what happened most of the time, I surely enjoyed the spawn of hundred of tokens and then the opponent was completely destroyed lol
Depends on how unique the commander is. In this case I was able to use older token decks for reference so it wasn't too bad. Using those categories from the intro can help split the deck up into smaller chunks, which makes it a little easier to fill out. After a while you know the format staples (did a video on the topic recently) so there will be quite a few auto-includes. Deck aggragate websites can also help point you in the right direction and learning to use the various filters in the deck builder or on Scryfall can save you a lot of time searching.

Love the content as always! Been living out my dreams of playing different decks vicariously through these vids.
Glad you like them!
13:20 I think that's the most emotion I've ever heard out of you lmao
Like watching the slot machine about to stop on the biggest jackpot, then the casino loses power.
Love your chill commentary man - no over the top reactions and not getting butthurt with different opponent play styles. Subbed!
Etali player: "oops, oops"
Bad players always bm, then they go and make a reddit post when a game like that tilts them off the face of the earth
@@slaphappy-qb3jb I didn't quite get the hate here, really. It's not like he was spamming "you go"...
Some players also use the oops as an "oof" button since they are spelled similarly. Just as an FYI
I hate the early good game ppl, and then when u take away all their combos and big hitters, they salt rope u.
@@slaphappy-qb3jb nah, looking at the exact moments they "opss", they were definitely meant to say "opss I'm in so much danger".

Are the timestamps on the video not working?
@@LegenVD Ya they aren't working right now
@@LegenVD Actually after refreshing they are working now
@@LegenVD Yeah, they weren't working when I watched it. Even gave it a couple of minutes before checking again.
I wish arena had an option to play out your turn when an opponent quits. That and allowing opponents to share decklists would be great additions.
I think the same. Sometimes when the opponent concedes and I can't understand why, I'd like to know what they had in hand to take that decision.

i had completely forgot that BOP was in Arena until game 2
*3?
Baylen said hey Jetmir, hold my beer ill show you a broken naya tokens deck.
Yeah where the heck is he? On a wide board he's a 4MV Craterhoof. Pick a card at random and I'd probably rather have Jetmir. Lose the Primal Vigor and get our boy in there.
@dinklebob1 ehh I see LVD's point, he's kinda win more. I guess it's something cheaper to chord of calling for but if he gets removed at instant speed during combat it could be a total blowout.
Built Baylen directly day 1, but somehow was too focused on a combo approach that I didn’t even consider Aggro - nice to see this in action tho
Games 1 and 4 are why I wish Arena had an option to keep playing a game out. Just have the opponent pass each priority like they'd run out of time. But it would let crazy brews see the payoff
If only we could make the hopping throne joke
We still can, now hop to it
Cool deck. Great work as usual. Thank you.
CURSE YOU, BAYLEN!
Nice reference to the Elden Ring DLC! Bravo! 👏👏👏
13:22 the first time I've seen this man play a card after having lethal. That would have been sweet.
20:36 Why does "Opponent with the Chwinga" sound like a line from Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure?

Im fairly new to magic, and Baylen is the first commander I ever built. Love this card to death.

Ah, I wanted to see the attack with Rabble Rousing in the first match. What a bummer!
Love the brawl content!
It's terrible on my wildcard savings though!

@@dinklebob1 Brawl might be one of the cheapest formats. It's still pretty expensive, tho. It's an Arena problem.

Moonshaker Cavalry is a very underrated win con that is so good
im undeniably a control player, but i love, respect, and fear craterhoof and moonshaker... what great over the top cards
Have you considered adding Jetmir as one of the finishers, or creature token count is too low for it?
It’s a great finisher, although it present a good target for spot removal when we can usually ignore those.
@@LegenVD I think I will transform my Jetmir brawl deck in to a Baylen one. Keeping Jetmir in. The rabbit is cheaper and more flexible. The deck can win even without her.
How can you find/sort cards like birds of paradise on Arena?
“set:blc” and “set:spg” are good ones to know

Thoughts on doing an otters deck for standard?
Very nice deck like always. How long does it take you to build such a deck on arena?
“Turn one, let’s Go Birds” - LVD confirmed Eagles fan
That subscribe to the channel was smooth.
Surprised no gilded goose in this deck, considering it fits the 1 mana dork section, as well as provides another token to tap late game, etc...
Certainly a consideration! Not reliably making mana early is a strike against it. Goose is great alongside commanders you want to get in play asap, especially if they cost 3 mana, but Baylen is often better when played a little later.
@@LegenVD That's certainly fair
You could say that this commander makes bay-les of hay 🙂
im sorry
23:38 what a jumpscare 😅
Do you think you’d be able to make any decks around otters or frogs? They’re my favorite tribes this set! Thanks for the videos so far :)
I posted a Standard Frog deck on the MTG Arena RUclips channel.
@@LegenVD nice! Maybe this means I’ll need to give them a follow too since I mainly follow your channel haha
Maha vai ser minha commandante mono black. Carta muito forte, ce tá doido.

Great video, as always! Will you play some Draft sometime? I really enjoy those as well :)
Wery like this theme😊
what other cards were released with BOP? How do we find them?
“set:blc” and “set:spg” are filters you can use in the deckbuilder
@@LegenVD thank you sir!
I had so much fun from watching.
Have you thought about using ghired in this deck?
Built a deck around it a few months ago, since the tokens are mostly 1/1 it won’t be at its best here.
@@LegenVD gotcha, pardon me as I pull a Uncle:
One more thing: how do you feel about baylen in Ghired's 99?
@@sammielawrence4781 Feels a little clunky to play it alongside Ghired, but if you get them both in play it could do work.
@@LegenVD you humble me sir; thank you. Thank you for the comments, content and knowledge.
This deck is a nightmare to manage in paper
Just to make you notice, the "yotube chapters" are so wrong for at least me. Love your content
Weird, they're working fine on my end.
at 43:41, you paid X=5 but searched your library for an 8cmc creature. Did I miss something?
We already had 5 green mana floating!
Louigi32 how dare you scoop to such greatness right before it happens 😂 😢
I love the content ❤
Starnheim Unleashed would be a fun addition also if unnecessary.
Notification squad. ❤
Verdant Command where?
The tokens entering tapped is a bit of a nonbo with Baylen, so I didn't include it.
@@LegenVD right, forgot that
nice!
Ygra next please :)
