Welcome to another exciting new deck tech on this channel where I show you how to build the amazing new Hylda of the Icy Crown from Wilds of Eldraine into a creature tapping beast!

Nice ideas overall butI don't think you need the few cards that give your opponents creatures. They are going to have plenty of creatures for you to tap. Akroan Horse especially because our deck does nothing with 1/1s (except opposition which doesnt need the help) while the other decks might and we dont have a lot of evasive threats to get around those 1/1s. I wouldnt play the hunted creatures for the same reasons, but they seem at least a bit better than the horse.
You could use the extra deck slots for no-cost repeatable tap sources like curse of chains and narcolepsy. Combine them with Victory Chimes and you have gauranteed taps and gaurateed mana to pay for Hylda's triggers.
I think most of the time you wouldn't need to. However it is possible that after a boardwipe you might replay your commander and no opponent has a way to deal with her which means they won't play stuff into her. While I see your points about Akroan Horse, the 1/1s can grow pretty big with the second ability on Hylda.
Victory Chimes is an amazing suggestion! Thanks!
Agree. There's no need to gift any creatures to your opponents. Even if there's only one creature (commander) each opponent controls that's already 3x Hylda activation per cycle. I also wouldn't include any of the 2-3 mana to tap one creature cards (Giant Killer is fine). With Hylda activation that's 3-4 mana to trigger it once - way too expensive and barely any mana left to play anything else.
Lastly, this deck needs way, way, way more protection. Without Hylda on the battlefield, this deck isn't doing anything except tapping down creatures and making the opponents hate us. There are so many great 1-3 drops that provide that and obviously way more counterspells.
I agree that it might be good to add in some protection! If you wanted you could remove the creature creating cards and sub them for stuff like Pippin, Mother of runes, and a couple more counterspells
This commenter is just dead wrong.
In a very very casual setting your opponents might have a lot of creatures, but if you're playing against any competent players they won't flood the board with creatures.
And in that situation, you want to be able to give them creatures in order to activate your commander.
Simply expecting your opponents to have creatures for you to tap is shortsighted and naive.
However, I think Hunted Lammasu and Akroan Horse are bad because all they do is give your opponents a couple creatures.
Instead, Ox Drover, Dowsing Dagger, and Rasputin the Oneiromancer are much much better cards.
Ox Drover draws you a card every turn, Dowsing Dagger turns into a Gilded Lotus, and Rasputin can ritual for 3 extra mana or make you Knights with protection from Red.
@@Vesdus well, I've been playing the deck for about a year now (maybe 20ish games with it) and I can confidently say I've never run into a situation where I've run out of target creatures to tap. This is despite not playing these cards that give opponents creatures.
The problems with the deck are two fold, one that I predicted during deck building and one that I should have predicted. First problem is mana hunger, you can never have too much mana to pay for Hylda repeatedly. Second problem is that you are heavily creature based for wincon, ground creatures at that. Taking out opponents usually involves tapping down all their defenders during EOT and then attacking, and sometimes that plan can get gummed up by propaganda effects, or by fear of the swing back.
It has been a pretty fun deck overall though!
My Expectation: My Hylda opponent is playing tap tribal
My Reality: Winter Orb Stasis Tangle Wire Static Orb Trinisphere
Hahaha. Well some of those work better than others, but I think that's why she is worded to only worl on creatures, to avoid degeneracy!
I freakinn love this card. I built a deck based off of her using only cards from wilds of Eldraine. I have played with that Jenkee deck and won a couple games with that Jank. Now I am about to upgrade it with a few mana rocks, and more tap an untapped creatures.
She is such a cool card isn't she? Good luck in your future games with her!
