It truly feels like Seth is playing against the same deck every match. To me, it's not enjoyable to watch

Good job winning with Karn, i hope you're proud of yourself :p
"teaching X about about Y" titles are cringe enough to make me unsub.
Ponza Rotta from Jimmy's Grotto truly is legendary! Fully worth naming a deck after.
Gotta thank you Seth, now this is all over the ladder :c
Appraiser is so stupid.
Btw in italy is called panzerotto (pugliese), just a info
The other big brain Brainstorm play I love is Brainstorm in response to hand attacks and tuck safely away key cards to draw at a later time
Christmas came a week early this year – Seth is playing Ponza again!
God I love Ponza. WotC has really shied away from land destruction and resource denial strategies in recent years, and it's so heartwarming to see it working as a policeman for boring "goodstuff" piles with greedy manabases and as a safety valve for combo decks. G5M3 was the perfect Ponza plan in action and it really soothed my soul.
Brainstorm finding well idk because it’s turn 2 so put lands on top…
game 3 was absolute insanity. Really creative play was needed to win that, I definitely didnt see the line to win there
Ponza forever!
Seth out here doing the Lord's work, Stone Raining and Blood Mooning unsuspecting "zoomers". I do wince everytime he mentions the "Brother's-hood End" though.
So timeless is basically 90% Bowmaster/DRC/Ragavan. Exciting format.
Never tick down a KtGC vs a mono discard deck. Lesson learnt by force.
Brainstorm on end step without fetch wew
Day 5 of asking for an Against the Odds deck featuring Omnispell Adept. I didn’t have time to make a new version of the deck today but will hopefully have some ideas for tomorrow.
Stop killing the stuff that comes back and kill the Lurrus! I know Bowmasters punishes card draw and you have The One Ring but Bolting the Bowmasters only buys you a turn before they recast it.
Only Seth could somehow mispronounce the word moon.
Laughing at the first game opponent cracking the fetch before Brainstorming. That is literally the only way to Brainstorm wrong my dude. 😂
Also ngl this Lurrus deck with the fucking monkey and Bowmasters looks miserable.
You need to get really mean and play a Stone Brain or two in the main as well. Sniping four basics can lock them out completely if you've already mooned them.
teaching arena zoomers about bloon moon, more like zoomers slamming ragavan
Fun fact, in Italy that dish is called panzerotto (or panzarotto) so if we go by the original name of the dish the deck should be called panze (or panza, that in dialect means belly)
Is this for teaching zoomers why Ponza isn’t that great on the whole? 😂
This whole video has been a showcase of why I wanted a Wurmcoil Engine reprint in ONE or MOM so bad to see it be Standard legal again.
Ponza is a gay ass name.
Blood moon is the new gay asness gay card.

19:04 mic picks up Seth dropping his guts 😂
Hey, I know AsianAvenger just did a goyf video for standard, but now that Tarkir has hit historic and historic brawl (or just brawl now??) now has the perfect commander for goyfs, with Sidisi, do you have any plans to take another crack at that deck?
Reprint ice storm
While SO is somewhat right about how to cast brainstorm, I feel like the card can be used to just look 2 deep if you really need it.
I also feel like the intended use for the card was to counter hand disruption by placing combo pieces and bombs on your library.
Cards that mill you and miracle cost cards are also great use cases along with Brainstorm.
Why is called Ponza?
Sokenzan Tokens have haste 😀
I think brainstorm is almost unplayable in this format. The only time you can play it is turn1
And to the zoomer lesson: This format is so damn fast that you can lose games by missing 1 delve fuel, or a card type in a graveyard for drc and stuff. You gotta cast your spells when you can
Karn turning off Ragavan treasures as well is an unintended benefit of Ponza for sure 😂
Ragavan is why I stopped playing modern.
did all the serous players leave historic? been nothing but 250 card stallers all month.
What's with the voice?
Have you thought about spreading algae+urborg+yavimaya?
Surely monored has a place in this format? Every video I see involves people taking themselves to 10 life off fetch/shock lands alone.
Blood moon seems awful because every single person seems to run that darn monkey.
Been watching several of your videos lately. Great content. I've been playing MTG on and off since 93/94. I started with Unlimited. That being said you just thought ME about Ponza. And reminded me in several other videos of decks I really hated playing against. Frickin Turbo Fog. That deck in particular always felt like I'd get it on my next draw. Hated that passive aggressive deck. Thank you for the content and lessons.
DRIVES ME CRAZY HEARING SETH SAY "BROTHERS-HOOD END"!!!
The S is at the END- BROTHERHOOD*S* END
