Too bad no one can get you with a Dingus Egg out of the sideboard 😅
Gonna have fun w/ this build on the Ladder in DEC after everyone forgets that it exists!
So is the viper supposed to be the bus?
This is a long shot, but does anyone know the name of a blue card, that has an alt art version with a cat in a robe?
Please help me!
“Do we bat or do we skeleton?” Happy Halloween Seth 🎃
7:10 Two Girls, one Cave-Bat
3:54 foreskin ripper? 🧐
This deck is actually very cool and creative
First game is so silly
Oh man, Imagine tidebinding the fabled passage. "Stop trying to make fetch happen"
i love how the opponent of game one could be seen reading skinripper after it killed them
Flawed victory
Nice!
6:55 they don't have enough blue sources
"your go" spammer gets wrecked, you love to see it
Awesome gameplay, sweet deck ya got there 😜

that bizarre leyline deck with meathook massacre 2, I am also baffled and need to understand what the hell they were doing.
I LOOVEEE YOU JESSUSSS CHRRIIIIIIIisssssstttttt
JESUS CHRIST I LOVE YOUUUU YESSS I DOOOOOOOO
This deck looks super cool!
Try Rollercrusher. I was brewing around the Skinripper Pitiless Carnage combo last week, and while Rakdos sac+discard is the obvious shell, I think it's actually too aggressive; it doesn't want to play combo, it wants to overwhelm and win before the opponent stabilizes. It dilutes both strategies.
Rollercrusher is an absurd Magic card. Seriously. It's like the Flytrap, you think 'oh this sucks without delirium', but getting delirium is easy and dealing double non-combat damage to everything is insane; especially when it then makes it easy for Rollercrusher to kill important targets. Makes Skinripping math really easy (also makes Food Fight actually viable, + Forensic Gadgeteer and Enigma Jewel, Izzet or Jeskai, fun as hell).
In that sense I think there's probably a very very strong build of this in Jund or Grixis to enable more self-mill/discard, and a slower game plan, either overwhelming with Green resource advantage or controlling the game with Blue.
you probably should be on 4 Swamp 2 Mountain instead of 3 of each. everything requires black mana and only a few things require red, so you might benefit from the 4th Swamp
7:08 your opponent's logic was probably "No, I want you to SEE this shit."
I had so much fun with Egotist in limited. I didn't even draft black red. I did orzhov, dimir, golgari, and it's still one of the best picks in any black deck.
could someone clarify for me why taking removal with bat is the go-to play? my instinct is always that taking an important card would be better because then you force the opponent to use their removal on the bat to get it back or you slow their gameplan, but this is never the way i see it played. if someone could explain why taking the removal is optimal i’d really appreciate it!
This deck is so fetch.
Get in loser, we’re going comboing.
I really want to know what that blue leyline deck was trying to do
SETH! They reprinted Mazes end! I want to see what you would come up with and see if it would be viable in standard!!! Please you have to do this archetype man!
yayyyy the girlies r bringing aristocrats back ^~^
Imagine a red/ black deck being good in the year of our lord 2024.
Feels like the deck really needs more permanent based removal mainboard.
Just wanted to say: Mean Girls is a GREAT name
If this your flavor, you might try brewing "The Cheese Stands Alone":
Scavenger's Talent/Vinelasher/Lumra/Pitiless Carnage: most of the time, win with Vinelasher pings. Other times you win with nothing on board except a food token, milling opponent with ST/Carnage… sometimes both wincons, at the same damn time!
neutral milk hotel!
this seems like a strictly worse version of the Scavenger's Talent mill combo deck
I think Seth misses that you can sacrifice the Egotist too, the triggers will still all go on stack so every time he's been thinkin he has exactly enough with egotists on the field, he has an extra damage margin
Mono Black has HOW MANY Combo kills that all synergistically play together in the same deck?
God I hope this deck pops off so that I hear this deck's name on coverage. It's been too long since we've had a goofy named deck!
Why are they called mean girls?
43:08 Why did you attack with the fish!? Getting in for 1 can't be as important as blocking 3!
seth ! i love the NMH shirt !
Hey Seth! For some reason I can't adjust the quality of your videos, the option is greyed out… literally only your videos lol
I guess the Blue Leyline on Demon lets you use the new Black Tutor to get any creature in the deck.
Don't know if it's worth it though.
