      Very nice and clear intro. Been playing since 1994 but a refresher is always welcome. The one thing I thought could be improved would be to set the format (standard most likely, as it requires a smaller card pool) for the deck so the newcomers are not overwelmed with old cards in the results. Crafting cards only to get destroyed because they're only playable in high-power formats would be unfortunate.
      I'd love to see more advanced deckbuilding lessons from you.
      Cheers

      it's a new channel, only a couple of weeks old - takes time to build momentum with the UA-cam algorithm, and everyone starts at zero. But if they keep consistent with the top content, it will eventually have lots of views.

    I am a hardcore Yugioh player and I love that card game. I always will and that's the only trading card game I play never got into any other one, but I do play a little of the dragon ball card game. Back in high school my friends showed me this game and I had a lot of fun, not knowing really how to play. Now I've grown an interest in this game and learning and having fun. This is a helpful video for a beginner like myself. Great job and thanks!

    Let's say I was a bit lost and kept playing events and pre cons.
    What u did is an amazing beginner point to start building my own deck.

    I mostly knew this strategy already but wow actually trying it out on arena I made a black white toxic mite aggro deck and it has been destroying. Just threw a bunch of cards with toxic, corrupted and proliferate in cause they all synergize with each other. Also threw in alot of removal which really helps you setup if you don't have an aggresive starting hand

    the video is pretty good for someone new to deck building for the first time. for that this video is awesome and verry informative! however ive been playing MTG the card game since roughly 4th edition was out! i am new to MTG arena however and was actually looking for help with how the deck builder functions! for example... all my deck cards are lined up on the right hand side of the screen and id like to know how to switch it to the view displayed in the video where the contents of the deck are listed across the bottom of the screen! if anyone can help me figure this out that would be great! maybe that could be an idea for another video if you havent already made it as im still new to your channel! a video going over how the actual functions of the deck builder or even MTG arena altogether (depending on how long that would make the video).
