This is a great idea for a video and yes I would like to see more. I'd really like to know if there's more than one right answer for some of the challenges. I was able to beat one (a medium challenge) without really knowing what I had done. Pure lucksack there. So it was really cool to be able to watch your solution and go "Yeah, I'm pretty sure I didn't do that...." So I'm glad that this isn't like the back page of the old Duelist where you had to beat it "their way."

Thank you for also parsing out the video so that it's easy to tell if you're looking at a challenge you have done or not so nothing was spoiled for me. What I'd really love to see though is the one thing not in this great game, which is a definition of some of the new mechanics (such as exile, and whatever the mechanic is that makes you discard instead of lose endurance, etc.) for those of us who started giving Magic the miss as soon as we saw our first "Snow covered swamp." It would also be great if there were articles on the Escapist for beginning or returning Duelist tips. Maybe an overview of the new strategies for the colors? For instance, White did not make for great equip decks before, but I love Wielding Steel.

I have also seen cards in this game that I have been hoping they would reprint forever but I'm not sure if they are just using them to increase the challenge or if they really are in the 2012 core set. I.E. Icy Manipulator, Moxes, and Time walk. Are they really back or is this just for the sake of DotP 2012?

Slow down there, Tito! You could've done the narration after recording the gameplay! Hope you do more of these, and there are multiple ways to do other challenges as well.
