Amazing video prof and amazing advertisement! I have to especially compliment you on the latter. I've been bald for ten years and am comfortable with it now, but it took a long time for me to get there. I get sick of hair loss companies trying to make me feel like I need their product to look good. I really appreciate your disclaimer within the ad and I know people who are struggling to accept their hair loss will too.

The ad read really resonated with me. I definitely need to give this a try. After hearing your reassuring voice and tone, someone who I've trusted for all my Magic needs for years, tell me that it's solvable and that I can do something about it, I teared up. I'm only 26 and started losing hair on the top of my head for about 2 years now. Thank you, Prof, I really needed to hear those words of encouragement. I will give it a try

Hey everyone, the winner is "Steph D" who I managed to contact shortly before a lot of people apparently falsely reported their account to KZfaq as spam and got it flagged. Not cool. If I can't do giveaways without the winners being hassled like this, then I can't do giveaways. We've resolved the issue with Steph's email/account, but am not pinning it here because I don't want a repeat. Me = frustrated. Edit: Congrats to Steph and a big raspberry to those who did the false flagging.

My first commander deck was mono-green and it's probably my favorite deck too. It has seen its fair share of upgrades since I started and has changed as much as I have as I've learned to play magic. It's funny to look back on its humble "stompy" beginnings that in truth wasn't much of a threat and then compare it to its current iteration where my playgroup knows when I pull it out I mean business. Funnily enough, I built that deck almost at the exact same time I started watching your channel and your videos have been an amazing influence on how I both play magic and build my decks.

When people say “blue player” or “green player” I always wonder did they mean any player who uses those colours in their deck, or just people who run MONO versions of those decks. Because since a lot of commanders are multicoloured, couldn’t you be a “blue player” and “green player” at the same time ?
