35:00 A "smidge" on the tapped side?! That was the most tapped land I've ever seen!
Oh man on the vampire game you could've been tapping all your scavengers at the end of each turn putting oil counters on them. I think you could have bought significantly more time
I wonder if Thrillseeker's art is a callback to original art for Olivia Voldaren. I'm getting some "It's her knee" vibes lmao
Hearing Seth call Skullspore Nexus "Skullport Nexus" makes me more angry than it should lmao
the not a snake god
Am I hearing "Skullport Nexus"?
Hey Saffron Olive, are we still teaching arena zoomers the old ways? I have a timeless aura hexproof list that has been doing very well for me.
You can do something similar with Naya warriors tribal (with Ozolith and Throne), tossing Beastcaller and then moving the counters to Thrillseeker so you can toss her too is funny. 😂
Faithless mending in the white/blue control deck is a byproduct of mono red being the most played in Bo1. It used to have a 60+ % played/kept winrate. Not sure about now, but i would bet it still does. Also good card selection if you have all removal against a slower deck.
In Yu-gi-oh they have a term for a card that is worth more in the deck than it is in the hand or graveyard. they call them garnets. In this instance thrillseeker is a garnet for you
Saw someone trying this earlier to me… key term… trying. Strange he didn't want to keep playing after Leyline Binding… oh well. 😂
What a fun deck! Thanks Seth
All I ask is that you say "Skullspore nexus" at least once 😩
I do love me some flinging and all the better when the thing you fling might get you extra value! Also nice to see somebody else appreciates Hotsprings! Still one of my favorite MTG cards of all time for it's shear value in weird janky ideas brought to life alone.
This deck is awesome.
Ziatora, the incinerator would also let you fling the God if you hit him with the God trigger.
Hold on, tho… Voldaren Thrillseeker only sacs herself to do damage, right? How would that work? Maybe Callous Sell-Sword?
This deck is so incredibly on brand for Gruul. First I'm gonna have my creature punch you, then I'm gonna throw the entire fucken thing at you.
I can't be the only one getting annoyed to hell and back by Seth not eating graveyards with the Scrapgorgers to get them to 3 power eventually. It's not much, sure, but it's basically free as long as there's something in any graveyard, and would have helped him in the third game at least.
Still, awesome video as always!
I wonder if this strategy has legs in Explorer/Pioneer. Gruul is already pretty decent, and Thrillseeker seems like just a plain playable card – if you give up the haste enablers for more midrange threats, and just play like 2 of the god and 2-3 Nexus, would those slotted into a Gruul Stompy deck to give it random one-shot potential be good?
Truly one of the coo coo chooiest decks I've seen.
Call me Spider-Man's villain, because today…we're playing Green god-land.
….if you squint REAL hard it's a joke I promise
Imagine roaming throne with phyrexians like the abzan incubate deck or just double triggers for obliterator or sheoldred
that game where you draw 4 scrapgorgers and lands just shows how rigged arena is
12:14 Mythic really means nothing when bo1 exists, huh?
Skull-SPORE nexus.
Fateful mending in the Azorius Control package is also there to further slow down the Mono-Red Aggro players. Enough incidental lifegain creates a situation where that deck runs out of gas far more often.
I say this as a Mono-Red player that gets stonewalled by this exact deck constantly
Hi Mr Olive, Syr Seth. I really love your videos <3
So, I am really hoping I can submit an idea for A.T.O.
It is a silly Mardu combo using an Ikoria enchantment "Offspring's Revenge".
With a Shadows over Innistrad remastered creature "Tree of Perdition".
The crux idea of the deck is:
To make a 1/1 Tree of Perdition token..
(with haste until your next turn, so it can be used anytime)
& sac this token to put the opponent on 1 life in response to:
-Them cracking a fetch or tapping for a pain land activation.
-Taking damage from The One Ring/Black Market Connection.
Note: You may include many other outlets of 1 damage as backup plans
– Spikefield Hazard
– Fanatical Firebrand
-Cacophany Scamp
– Kumano Faces Kakkazan
Things of this ilk
Just in case the opponent is not being co-operative.
Now it is a silly idea sure,. Yet this is what A.T.O. is all about!
I last played magic during original Kamigawa block, and yet somehow I can't stop watching your videos
Why no mythweaver pogs to make the god indestructible? They kill the god you get a land and the god back on the battlefield.
Coudnt have the enemy killed you with godric firebreathing ability? 25:00
