Deck Of Choice: Exploring Control Farm with Matt Hayes

So were you always kinda on the control path through your CDH journey?

[lip smack] I would say so.

I think once you kind of, like, get... [clears throat] One of the nice things is, like, there are certain decks where you, you send, and then if you get blown out, you're not really doing-

Yeah

... you know, you're just hanging out.

You're, you're there for the vibes.

What's nice about playing a, a control shell is even when you're a novice player, you often are a relevant player in the game.

Like, you, what you could cast or what you might have in hand dictates who wins the game and if you can try to win the game.

[lip smack] Um, and it's, uh, at least for me, I think it's hard to strip out that agency.

Like, I played a turbo deck for a little while a month ago, [laughs] and it's very fun.

It went very, very fast.

I turned zero Necrologia'd somebody.

It was awesome.

Um, [laughs] but the, the other games where you're sitting there doing nothing, it's just not, not something I, I...

I only have so much time.

I wanna, I wanna be engaged, you know, the whole time-

Yeah

...

if I can.

Yeah.

Th- there is definitely something to be said for always having agency and always having something to do.

I, I'm a hard, hard agreer on that.

But that, that, that Nick Fury deck that you were working on is very cool, and that [sighs] nobody quite had that same lens for, uh-

[laughs]

... that turbo deck.
