Gideon Tribal is back, but this time it’s a prison deck looking to to hard lock the opponent out of ever winning the game (and me out of every losing the game) with Deification!

Honestly, I feel like opponent game 1 is not cool. Just concede, don't use the timer to your advantage. Sure, Seth should play to win fast, but there's always something to be said about giving your opponent the win when you know there's no way out.
Just wanted to let the mtggoldfish crew ive really enjoyed your content. At a rough spot personally, and seths/crims videos have really brought humor and joy to my day to day. And made me a better spellslinger!
I think with adjustments this could be a real contender for competitive. Maybe take out the always sidebourded out cards like worship and elspeths saga lol
A whole lot of defecation
Sheoldred's edict
Hilarious, leyline of sanctity is amazing against Yawgmoth. All of their payoffs target. Blood artist says “target player”, and Gerald’s Messenger says “target opponent.”
Who did this better. MAGIC AIDS or Seth.
HELOID COMBO on the scoreboard sent me
No elixir of immortality? I used to run a similar lock with platinum angel, worship, and 2 privilaged positions.
Seth's joker arc
Instead of milling, when he had 2 Gideon of the Trials in hand, he could have attacked with GotT then cast another to uptick the Giver of Runes, repeat on the next turn with the second GotT in hand (so 8 damage done leaving opponent at 8) and then on the third turn just swing with the whole team for the win.
And this is why enchantment removal is good.
I love the little wink when he says "deificating all over our opponents!" 😂
STOP scooping at 16 life.
Surprised no Restoration of Ejanjo, since it can bring back Deification, Sterling Grove and mosr of the creatures.
I knew wizard made a joke out of the phyrexien but Seth made a joke of infect
infect follow by Yawg lol I feel a theme
This reminds me of the time I played against Turbofog at my old LGS. Thanks, I hate it! 😀
1:03:57 wait how is this actually going to the music so well LOL
Genuinrely curious, why didn't you attack with the spirited companion to win in m1?
add jtms to speed up finish…
Veil of summer seems good against yawg. Maybe?
This would be fun with ratadrabik as well since he makes a Gideon that died a permanent creature which means deification's requirement would be met protecting both the gideon zombie and other gideons
Damn, seth so confident at 36:00. If opponent has a pump spell, opponent just wins the game there right?
Why no Champion of justice for the meme 😂
Gideon up 👢
I think adding a Luxor would help out immensely
is this deck historic legal, it seems close
They should add an alternate art of deification for Gideon to be honest.
in Situations where opponent had Hammer+Life link instead of making opponent draw into oblivion I think it may have been a little faster to use Ally Gideon to start making Anthem Emblems every couple of turns.
Also RIP our Boy Gids, he went down to the worst thing a character can die to, Bad Writing.
any ideas for Deification in Pioneer? I already have Gideon tribal with Heart of Kiran and a bunch of sweepers. maybe Adanto Vanguard for a creature…
Seems like slow play in game one honestly just swing man
RIP Gideon, we miss you forever and ever. 😢
Am I missing something, or would Leyline of Sanctity have shut down Yawgmoth combo, and Heliod combo? Seth didn't put them in when he was sideboarding, but they seem ideal for both matches.
Fun fact: Cat tribal would wreck this. 😺
I love how he sounds like he is dry reading his introduction like he didn’t write it!
At 52:30 why not play Gideon of the Trials and prevent all damage dealt by the walking ballista?
I made this deck about 2 weeks ago, cannot stop playing it so much fun and opponents keep hope for so long because they think they have a chance, also faithbound judge is a great wincon against lifegain decks or decks you cannot kill easily
enjoyed the worlds buffest forest
This was just too good. Great job!
My favorite part is probably Seth saying the opponent doesn't understand how deification works, while having no creatures on the field
there is a counter that I could see, it's board wipes that hit plainswalkers or enchantments since it doesn't target anything specific. It gets around shroud.
Add Elspeth's Talent to the deck? Gives you creatures for the lock and also a win condition faster than "wait for the opponent to mill themselves by drawing 1 card per turn".
"we are deificating all over our opponent" .. I'm dead
