43:20 you would've made four mercs and boost your vein ripper into a 10/5, and they could only block one land creature
I think this deck has opportunity to splash legends though even with double down. IE: Vadmir, plus Tinybones Joins Up, plus double down, just casting Vadmir will give him two +1/+1 counters because one Vadmir will see two Tinybones triggers before legend rule kicks in correct? Same is true for the new Gisa etc. Doubling down Kitesail is also two crimes (for two treasures ideally) which can double trigger Kaervick with your two extra treasures to sneak a couple cut downs, a go for the throat, board wipe again, reanimate creatures whatever, will also double trigger any other non once per turn triggers you have. Pair this with Magda even, you could create some crazy ramp and payoffs/'storm off' outlaws and crime post turn 4. Slow but Tinybones Joins Up, Pickpocket, Vadmir, Kaervick, Preacher, Gix maybe even give you turn 1, 2, 3 value. Deep Cavern Bats possibly to slow the opponent down more and make them remove a 1/1 before you cast a legend. Grind the game to turn 5 and hopefully steal it away with double down value.
Magic has land problems. You die to red aggro on turn 3 or 4 the latest but atleast you can play some crappy tap lands while getting pummeled.
51:40: anim pakal can't grow off gnomes
54:32 probably couldn't play the evangelist because they drew it off mastermind
Crib swap, the best outlaw
Seth has betrayed the Stan-harmonicons. He avoided legends to get the value off the bodies but he didn’t think about the value of doubling etb/ltb effects for legendary outlaws
Can you plot an outlaw to use double down the turn double down gets cast?
Double Down sleeve is on sale in the MTGA Store. A coincidence or…?!
Colonel Sanders would be proud of these Double Down matches.
Thanks, Seth!
19:45 "Aven Heatseeker" might be the funniest seth-ism yet
8:20: When will Refine rotate? It feels like it should have by now. Hasn't it been two years since SNC released?
Man, i like your content but i can’t stand the fake customer service voice. You’re videos would be so much better if you just used your normal voice.
I could tell you from having played the Zombie version of this anyone who wants to: stick to Commander for 'Double Down". There's just not enough that discounts enchantments while also playing into your theme in blue. It's fun don't get me wrong but other than a handful of free activations it's not gonna get there in best of three.
Another day, another request for skeleton tribal
Plays outlaw deck, runs "Go for the Throat" instead of "Shoot the Sheriff." So disappointing
This deck is sweet… but now I'm wishing that there were a non-singleton format where we could play the Prowl cards from Lorwyn alongside Double Down without it being embarrassingly slow. A doubled-up Morsel Theft or Noggin Whack would be such a punch in the gut…
1:12:26 for the 10th time Seth, you don't have to discard 1st to draw with the Scoundrel, so use it empty handed 😀
If you're looking for a fun combo, I drafted a Grixis list with this and Rakdos, the Muscle. Rakdos specifically mentions sacrificing another creature, so when both he and the cast copy end up on the battlefield, the state-based action of saccing one triggers him; it's hilarious.
the pop up of the run ms paint immediately made me check my task manager lol
1:16:57 close games between two Black midrange decks, thus removing the fun of an interactive game by putting it in a pile of miserable one tone decks. Rotation needed to happen, Gix and Sheoldred needed to be banned.
Says $280 for deck price but added it to the cart and was $400
51:30 Pakal is non-gnome creatures
Idea for Against the Odds:
Return the Favor copying the trigger of Arcane Bombardment, if you have a copy of Return the Favor and a treasure making spell under it (Flick a Coin/Big Score) you can go infinite and draw your deck.
Urabrask or Quintorius turn your looped Bombardment spells into damage.
In match 5 you had the win if you larcenist the token and mastermind and not the tapped Aclozotz. Glad you still won that one!
Anyone else hear Lord Shaxx voice every time Seth says "double down"
As several times you mention Doubling Down on a Double Down and not being able to play Legends, I would love to see this deck "Doubled Down" with the addition of Mirror Box, rebuilt around Legends.
although its legendary would vial smasher work well here? Seeing as everythings an outlaw the amount of pings it could potentially put out seems high
My double down deck was clones and terror of the peaks along with the kitesail and the treasure guy
43:00 they were dead because you can pump ripper up to 10 then swing with it and 3 creatures so they were going from 11 to -2
Omg if hostile investigator was an uncommon that limited format would be unplayable haha
gj
I know it's a background thing, but it's so wonderful to hear how far Cece has come in terms of confidence!!
Who, man, did you just bust out some greatful dead? Fuck now I gotta listen to dire wolf, but I want to watch arena zoomers learn various things
My initial thought about Double Down was basically "ah, so you plot an outlaw on turn 2 and 3 and then drop Double Down and cast both of them and get a huge board" but it turns out the outlwas you can plot on turn 2 and 3 are actually pretty bad… that does make it a bit more awkward to play and i suddenly understand why i haven't seen more of it.
