Is Romana II on MTGO? If it and quantum misalignment are, it’s another thing to do, with alarm.
Maybe the real Intruders were the friends Steward made along the way.
Wouln't Brainstorm be a useful piece for this?
11:21 seth took that one video to heart where he kept not playing malcolm at instant speed and now checks all his creatures to see if they have flash lol
I run settle the wreckage in case of stuff like this lol
Elves could possibly beat intruder alarm
On that first match against angels if the opponent had Swords they could have killed one of their own angels to survive and kill you on the way back.
Seth… you missed Presence of Gond which literally turns any creature into a wincon, especially since it’s a bant list
The way Saffron's beanie is positioned just makes it look like hes wearing cat ear headphones. Lmao
Especially on the dark boards
5:05 it was, indeed, an all star in limited lol
No. If you play intruder alarm your opponent goes infinite with your own combo piece they control….
We did it! we finally broke intruder alarm!
8:46 Grizzled Huntmaster is not a may when it comes to exiling cards of the same name from your library. You would have to hand it to your opponent and let them confirm you have exiled all cards of the same name if it was in paper.
Would Crashing Drawbridge not be a perfect addition?
0/4 artifact wall for 2 colorless mana with the ability to tap in order to gain haste for all creature you control until the end of turn.
That way you can attack with all tokens on the turn you create them.
This is a two-card combo deck, and I don't think this was the optimal shell. I would describe this deck as building Splinter Twin – and using multiple card slots on Lotus Petals and Rite of Fire to speed the maximum goldfish speed up. That's not really how tier combo decks work any more: decks are so focused on interaction and grinding, that you're better off spending those slots on playing a "fair" game of Magic, and treat the combo finish as just one option among many. I think you could build an "against the odds" style combo deck of any current major combo deck that has the matches play out like this run did. Not to say that Intruder Alarm would be broken in Historic – but I think this isn't really a fair test when it comes to what it would look like in an actual meta. Also, just clicking "make token" until you hit the token limit would be obnoxious even if the deck were otherwise fine.
At 29:00, don’t you also have infinite untaps with Deathrite Shaman, which you can use to make mana to activate its abilities, possibly winning on the spot or at least gaining enough life to survive the turn and win?
Emmara Soul of the Accord
Jaspera Sentinel
???
Craterhoof T2
This also goes with Reflections of Kiki-Jiki and Ashnods alter
Intruder alarm turns your card into 'Xerox Strobe Knight'
Someone finally broke it
wouldn't Altar of the Brood be actually good in the deck ?
So that's how you use it. I've had a couple of these for a while but had no idea what to do with them other than Chulane and some combo piece most likely. Seeing it work this budget though makes me wonder if I shouldn't try and make a paper deck and go infinite as practice before I just give one to The Teller of Tales and then debate if the other has any use with my other non-combo commanders.
Seth, why are you playing so much Best of 1? You were one of my few non-sweaty outlets for actual real magic. Please go back to playing Bo3, please.
Is Rakdos Charm on Arena?
Imperious Perfect and a green mana dork could also do it. Krenko, Mob Boss would require red, the 4 cost isn't really much worse than the cast 2 spells requirement. Bloodline Keeper would require black but would be similar to Krenko, but Krenko can go wider without the alarm. Jan Jansen, Chaos Crafter could go off with intruder alarm, but it requires both black and red and an artifact on board to get the combo started. Marrow-Gnawer could do it, but you need black and other rats to get going. The Piper of the swarm costs too much mana to go nuts with Alarm, but Alarm could enhance it. Actually working some blue and intruder alarm into some sort of rat deck might be interesting
I’m always surprised that Thraben Doomsayer isn’t on Arena. Then i remember it was printed in DKA and hasn’t been reprinted since Commander: Ikoria
I want to see a timeless deck with four maindeck Lurrus. I've only ever seen it as a companion.
So Saheeli Suns Brilliance + Intruder alarm + Atsushi = infinite mana and draw your deck, so on curve 2,3,4 you win on turn 5. And this is because Saheeli doesn’t care about Legend rule
lol I wonder if Seth unconsciously associated the word "flash" with the word "strobe" and that's why he thought the strobe knight had flash
you need to play mishras bauble to secure the second spell.. xD
“It sets off alarms” yes, the intruder alarm ❤
I was wondering if for arena videos, for the cost you could list the mythics and rares costs instead of paper and tix cost?
Sadly I don't see any combo decks that can't use dark ritual being viable in timeless
Wow this deck sucks lolz.
