Am i wrong or does Seth say almost every deck is the best deck in standard lol
What about awaken the woods. That looks like a great card for triggering landfall as well as alt win condition next turn.
Add the manifest dread repeatable enchantment in here.
What if instead of Vinelasher as a wincon, you build a deck like this in an older format and win with a big finisher like Ulamog from all of the mana you make?
Never add to this deck Seth! The best part is you don’t have the banger finisher! All your Much A Brew decks are great, this is brilliance man.
Dude I made a deck with this combo but instead of surveil lands I used the deserts to double up on damage and creatures to mill or return all milled lands to the battlefield
invasion of anchoves 😀
you might have dropped a bit of rank doing this. i guess from top of diamond 4 to bottom, no? somehow i always look at that to diferenciate youtuber strategies +from clickbait edited to legit
Been having fun with a modern take on a risen reef value deck with zendikar resurgent (produces elemental tokens for risen reef which hopefully triggers more landfall for more lands to create more elementals ect), vinelasher, Yarok, and Fecund Greenback (which is an elemental that triggers Risen Reef.) plant token Nissa is kinda fun with greenback as well. It's probably not a good deck, but it's a fun one once it gets going. Fractured realm serves as a desperation backup yarok to keep the chain going (lets face it, the deck will have the mana for it if it can play magic at all.)
One dopplegang. Just one.
Now this is amazing content, lol
Is this the first 60 rare deck no sideboard you’ve played? Anti budget magic?
I was like how on earth does 52 lands work in current standard. I know hedge shredder was a cool engine but this is just stupid.
I love this deck, but boy is it terrible. I took it to Sparky to see lands go brrrr, and I lost like 3 times in a row. Thankfully, I already had all the cards, so nothing was lost in building it.
Alternatively, swap the vinelashes for a one of Labratory Maniac (beloved of brewers worldwide)
Inspiration from Beyond would've been a good include. Not a land, but it would be able to be milled over and the flashback allows a new mill three source from two zones. Probably a good 2 of unless it actually proves to be stronger than it seems.
Nooooo seth cut his beard 😢
This could be the new version of "Hit our birds, Draw some cards…"
The way to improve it is to ditch the vinelashers entirely for 4 fire balls or whatever. Get the lands onto the battlefield nd win next turn.
People play temples for 3 reasons:
1)they pull it from foundations
2)the starter decks have 2 copies
3) they already crafted them from 4 years ago
This is delightful! I love Against the Odds like this that are totally out there.
This deck needs a back up fireball plan. Idk if there's one in standard. But the amount of mana this makes is absurd
I ran a deck like this in modern with hedron crab and the crime lands
Just add a single Worldsoul's rage or any Fireball effect.
Sweet deck!
Now if I just keep saving my wildcards for 2 more years I’ll be able to craft this deck and try it out!
Hidden Grotto the Color Fixing surveil Land is criminally underrated.
It enters Untapped!!
