JEE-AH-DA
Not GEE-AH-DA
Like, it's an actual name in real life. 😂
Video #6 reminding Seth that "Takenuma" isn't pronounced "Tayk-nu-ma" but "Ta-kay-nu-ma"
Seth Best of 3 called. He misses you and wants you back. Your sideboard is sad and neglected.
So what did we learn this week, a very against the —~~
"Could morphs cost 2 now? would that be too power-creepy?"
Yes Seth. Yes it would. That being said Cloak and Manefest could cost any amount of mana, so thats where I'd focus my hope.
Also, wow, some of these games Seth was so weirdly passive. I think he was focusing on the combo when he could've been way more aggressive with creatures in some matches. Yes, he would be risking combo pieces technically, but there were tons of situations where the opponent was still clearly completely unwilling to block.
I know you hate math, but the game around 44m-48m kinda shows why you should actually be aware of simple arithmetic when playing this deck. For every 2 life (+1 to avoid a draw) you have, you can remove 6 life from them. So if you are at 11, the magic number for them is 30. 9 is 24, 7 is 18, 13 is 36…you should actually try and play around those numbers. And no, blocking with the phoenix ISN'T free, you did 2 damage to yourself which means your opponent effectively "gained" 6 life. You have to always take that into account with the "free" phoenix block.
For this combo to become truly infinite I'd suggest putting Vein Ripper instead of Performer. It completely offsets the self damage dealt by phoenix and could be Hidden in Plain Sight to get face up later by Yarus/Woe Strider combo.
This was listed on your website as pioneer 🙁 I was so excited to see a pioneer format being played then realized ite explorer….super click bait, I have no problem with explorer i would probably have been fine with watching it but the excitement was ruined and the whole experiance was too, sad 🙁 fun deck though
FYI Legion Warboss tokens have to attack the turn they come into play ! That's why this opponent send them into your blockers ! (well the first attack was a not forced though)
I come here to see him losing 20 times to pull up one combo and win. This make me fell good after my 20 games of losing XD
Wonder if it is worh throwing the sell sword fling spell in there.
Imo reducing the cost on (mega)morph/cloak would be too strong, but I think adding the ward 2 to morphs would be fine AND make all facedown creatures have the same rules

I feel like this list could use storm the festival very well
Throwing away the performer made me throw myself at the stairs
49:20 City of Ass gives you 1 and 1/2 mana of any color. It's from the Unhinged set.
Seth should have just taken the draw, but instead took a loss.
Why did the video end in the middle of you speaking?
That monoblack Sedgmore witch player is still looking at Pyrotechnic Performer Tron in absolute shock that they lost the game.
Still convinced that sheoldred should not exist. It's honestly a terrible card for the game.
I finally built around a card before you. I've had a yarus deck for weeks now
You could've scried until the hide in play sight was a good play though.
Legion warboss token does have to attack the turn it comes in.
warboss tokens have to attack the turn they enter
I wanted to listen to Seth at the end 😢
