agree, the moment you played the island with two torch in hand I knew it was over
Woah Seth NAILED the pronunciation on Insatiable Avarice.
Thunder Cougar Falcon Bird
The real BM is taking it back with the bird, then killing your opponent
How about a janky against the odds style deck in standard with the fall of lord konda (gain control of all permanents you own) and covetous falcon to give all permanents in response to the saga’s trigger. It would draw a card per permanent (including land) but it’s very weak to tidebinder haha.
I have to ask, would you like a karnstruct control standard deck? You may need to improve it from my shell but it works pretty well right now.
Should have started with the clip of Gordon Gecko saying Greed is good. 😂
Seth acarice tutor should be case of suspect skeleton and diabolic intent…. The case makes a skeleton and intent reauires that you sac a creature to search your library and then that will trigger the case which then will also let you search your library
Some extra bounce spells for the gambit when it’s on your opponent’s side seem sweet as well. Machine Over Matter (BRO) only costs a blue with falcon in play.
9:21 – Is that the subtlest TOOL reference of all time?
@MTGGoldfish Seth for the next against the odds, you should do Obeka + Faithbound Judge! Might be an ambitious four color deck since the disturb cost is expensive and you need it in the graveyard with Obeka out and probably need her to be unblockable but that’s the against the odds dream
Seth here's a jank combo for standard, Rakdos joins up and yargle in the graveyard to deal 20 damage. You can even show off the new spree entomb!!!
You also never used Insatiable Avarice as a Vampiric Tutor to draw the card that turn with a Blood token or drawing from Coveted Falcon or Preacher
Any suggestion for budget brews in the new format? A bit bored of convoke
A curse deck with extra steps. I love it.
18:07 play greeds gambit, draw into untap, give 2. Even if its not guaranteed its still a higher chance to win than the other way
That legendvd deck is a lot sweeter than you think, that counter spell is intended to use the copy mode instead. Making a copy of the karnstuck maker. That then can be copied every turn by the copy token permanent. sorry but i dont know the names.
why didnt you show the game you lost to Covertblue?
You are a madman, and it's great
Literally just played against the deck and have to say, I'm impressed it works at all 😂
Does anyone know where I can get that deck list that Brian kiblar played?
Just do this one again, so fun! 😃
I've just plaid against Esper version of this deck, I was playing Mono U Tempo Ninjas (returning to Magic after 2 years and collecting the wildcards), they searched my hand and removed 2 Fading Hopes (sorry don't remember the name of the card, was some Orzhov spell I think), put Greed's Gambit on turn 4, wiped my board once. Yet I managed to reduce their life to 9 and I had Machine over matter in my hand. They use second option of Insatiable Avarice (pay 3 life, draw 3 cards) and when the life condition resolves I return them the Gambit. BOOM – 6. One of the best moments I ha in Magic ever xD
Where did the mage come from in duelist of the mind?
I wanted to see your reaction to CGB's deck but it looks like the match didn't make it into the video
Every creature is a dork
Super fun content
So now we have 8 "cats" and 8 "pacts" for Pioneer Cat Pact? Seems like a fun thing to put in a Grixis control shell.
Jesus says you have a demonic avatar and I will not watch tour episode because of that. Change avatars or me not watch you anymore by Jesus orders.
I wonder if this will make Pact/Offering semi-competitive in Modern. Both Gambit and Pact draw you cards immediately if you don't have your pieces, adding Hawk to the deck give you 8 copies of ways to give permanents to your opponent, and both of them are artifacts that you can desperation sac if you need to
Unsurprisingly, commiting crimes is proving to be one of the most lazy and uninspired mechanics ever. Between it and sheoldred, those cards that synergize with >checks notes< playing the game normally can make any match feels tired pretty fast
We have 3 exchange control spells in standard right now.
Truly a golden Era
So laughing jack is really good….in commander idk about standard but in commander it's absolutely beautiful…
Crap thats why I fought this deck 3 times in a row. Really sucks that theres a combo that sacrifices the whole field and discards your entire hand
I didn't expect Seth to come out as a fan of torture.
Dude played LegenVD and Jim Davis and barely mentioned it.
