The Spider-Man set was... a set 😬 but it gave us a sweet PDH commander in Green Goblin, Revenant!

The plan: use Blood Tokens & Madness for value, then attack with the Goblin to draw a massive new hand. Full breakdown in the video! 👇

Looks like Butch wasn’t such a bad guy after all and helped us get to over 50 subscribers. Now I kinda feel bad not helping his mother when escaping Vault 101.

Thanks for all the support everyone!

Happy Labor Day from the PDH Portal! 🇺🇸⚒️ I built a 5-color Transguild Courier deck called “Labor Day” to honor the workers of the multiverse—miners, farmers, pirates, smiths, and citizens alike. Theme over power, flavor over spikes. Workers’ rights are human rights.

Something different this week! A while ago we had our great friend @lobbert8.bsky.social come hang out with us and show us a couple fun alternate formats. You’ve seen the Planechase (if you haven’t go watch it!), now enjoy some Archenemy!!!

It's not much, but it's a small victory for a new channel.

Thanks to community feedback, I’ve add a “Potential Upgrades” section to the decks. It turns out I missed a perfect addition to the deck, “Pierce Strider.”

Check the new section out on the new Esperzoa deck: thepdhportal.com/deck/16

If you notice any good upgrades for other decks, let me know!

In PDH, Esperzoa turns harmless artifacts into a repeatable value engine — card draw, mana, life gain, and board control all from a flying jellyfish. 🪼

Tried out a live stream tonight to see how it went testing and building a deck. Finished up Esperzoa and then went on to start looking at Haliya, Ascendant Cadet.

Check it out if you'd like to see how I go through my process.

Doing a bit of playtesting to see how well my list for Esperzoa is coming along. It doesn't really take long for it to start to pop off.

I recently discovered Wanderer's Twig and am not sure why more people do not run it.

Thanks for all of the feedback everyone!

I've made a few website changes, and have added a bunch of decks from friends. Check them out at

I'm also working on the next video. Virulent Silencer, Esperzoa, and Undercover Butler are in the pipeline.

I started that process about 4 years ago.

I'll let you know when it's finished. I don't know where all these cards keep coming from.

A common so powerful it's banned in 60-card pauper! What version of this incredible instant are you sleeving up?!?
