I really like this video. The review is clear, concise, and to the point. It explains in a big enough overview what they decks want to do, and how to do it.
One question I have for The Lord of Pain is who is choosing who takes the damage: Pain's controller or the caster of the spell that triggers the ability
You do as the controller. It triggers on someone casting a spell, then you choose another player. It the caster got to choose, it would probably say something like "Whenever a player casts their first spell each turn, THEY choose another target player." However, as it's written, you always get to choose. It triggers on your own spells too, and notably, if you make it to the final 2 players, you and your opponents first spells will be forced to deal damage to each other, since those will be the only legal targets. For example, if your opponent casts a spell, you are the only legal target for "another target player," likewise your spells will damage them.
The most powerful is probably the enchantments deck. Making those costly broken enchantments cost 4 less is very strong, if omnipotence is in the deck that's crazy powerful. Death toll looks like the weakest of the 4.

Your deck reviews and analysis are the best! I’ve enjoyed your videos for years, sir!
Interesting decks. I think I like Jump scare and Miracle one the best.
To clarify: The Lord of Pain does not say "on their turn", so you can squeeze out some extra damage from instants!
It does say on each OF THEIR turns though
@@jacobswenson931nope, it doesn't, learn to read please, liv3ry point stands.
@@SaliasLeRounard 0:37 for global reference
“Whenever an opponent loses life for the first time during each of THEIR turns…”
So it does
@fedepirez5014 they are talking about lord of pain not valgavoth..
@@xpsyclops6050 truuuuue clearly I don’t know how to read!!!
oooh, those are all very cool, but I'd have to go with Endless Punishment or Death Toll
lol it’s now the cheapest one 😢
Does every cycle of commander decks have to include a blue green land based deck? This is the third cycle in a row with one in it

@@AffinityforMTG thanks for the clarification! It's definitely much better that way.
What would you say is the best one ?
