Copy/paste from my Youtube comment… Excellent video, pleasant surprise to come home from work and see this.
Sound quickly improves after the early hiccup (which is thoughtfully flagged to avoid watchers abandoning the video prematurely). Good analysis of the options Alexander Sequoia opens up for EW deck building, and also like the points made on Geronimo (at last, another EW K option) and Guiding Wind (encourages a more aggressive/interactive EW deck, which is welcome).
The host is too modest to mention it, even when discussing the winner of the event in question, but he’s the creator of an innovative, aggressive EW deck that finished second in the 2017 GenCon tournament to choose Doomtown’s next legend: Gencon Evil is a Choice Second Place - Taking to the Gateway · DoomtownDB.
Agree that Mischievous Coyote looks strong, keen to see how it does in events. Pleased that Eagle Warden Kung-Fu is no longer an “Orphaned” theme.
Cheers to both hosts!

Like Ike (Like for Ike?), Alexander Sequoia, another “420 Dude” (4/2/0 Cost/Influence/Upkeep), will absolutely blow open the deck design space for Wardens of all tribes. Runner up to Matilda as a replacement for Mazatl with non-zero(!) skill rating. And this before an analysis of the cool and useful abilities!
For example, that Alex never has to “commit” to a deed while you “hold” the townsquare (or rather, while your opponent doesn’t), because he can boot back to town to unboot to step on another. Thematically reminds me of Walks-in-Footprints from Classic:
This set feels like factions getting parity over cost ratios, which will make designing decks funner for casual as well as tournament play. Very pleased to see PBE addressing this gap and enhancing both ways to experience this game.
Cool review too.
Cheers.
