ah yes the "infamous" rooftop storm combo
Oh boy, I'm glad to get another episode of…
checks notes
…Meme the Odds?
Witchclaw Tally-smen
I REALLY hate this guy's voice omg
Poor Seth facing a control player. Makes me want to cry just watching it. Hope it didn't ruin your day.
that 4 color control match was awful, you should run Boil to play off your lotus field after you sac any islands you have to the field
Tbh the little illustrations on every thumbnail are the best part of these videos
This deck feels a lot like traditional storm. It runs a lot of "rituals with extra steps" in the form of the twiddles, and relies on racing opponents instead of interacting. I did find this deck kind of uninteresting to watch because it mostly does nothing when it does not win. At least other meme-or-dream decks play knights and turn them sideways or whatever.
Also, top 32 out of 48 players is an 1-X record with bad tie-breakers, right?
Lol you never play dredge fairly cause they aren't winning fairly.
Lol Seth idk how we beat a Wrenn ultimate……leaves the Leylines in the sideboard.
Ah, my Zombie Commander precon win con. Nice.
I still don’t understand storm
That an oh what’s the other one … oh! Delve for sure no idea what that is , crap I can’t think of due other one
But yea storm makes no sense to me
This deck sucks
This might be the worst Against the Odds deck I've seen. Looks completely unplayable lol
Against the Meme
0:53 I thought decks you didn't build were much abrew tho?
UB tron ?
I love how Seth is so scared of a counterspell that he gives his opponent all the time in the world to find the counterspell
Why does Seth keep forgetting the tap/Untap spells are instants that can stop enemy attacks
Could Goryo's Vengeance help recover from opponents destroying Acererak in a control deck? He'd bounce right back to your hand
What are the chances? Two burn spells and an eidolon in burn? Pretty likely
Kaheera ban? What are you smoking there Seth?
This deck is vulnerable to removals and this is Magic, the Removal.
In other words, it's unplayable.
Prolly should have had stifle in for the lotus field so you dont have to sac the lands.
Why Misty Rainforest over Polluted Delta?
What about making this the finisher of a Simic Ramp deck? You can get enough mana, draw enough cards, and who cares if you zombie is black if you can cast him for 0? You lose the tutors, but there's enough that green can bring to the table to make it interesting.
I almost wonder if it would be better to go for Heartless summonings to combo with The Archlich? It will still cost mana to play but one black per casting isn't super bad and then you could build a mono black control deck around it?
Acerak is shaping up to be my favorite card in years! I've been in historic with bontu's monument/black defiler/the red dinosaur that reduces creature cost by 1 and a BUNCH of removal and wheel spells. It's so funny, nobody ever knows what's happening. There's a green card in brother's war that I think goes infinite much easier than this 🙂
