$30 Orzhov Roles | Wilds of Eldraine Standard Budget Magic 

Or doing the same with spellbook vendor pre-combat

Yeah. Big oops on his part

Was just about to make the same comment.

I was just about to comment this.

Yep saw it as well

I was screaming "You threw!" Needed to make sure someone pointed that out.

Don't you mean Smellbook Bender?

I was thinking the same thing.

So far I've seen "Not Dead After All" in Rakdos Evoke as the Wicked role makes your evoked elemental a little pricier to remove. Looking forward to seeing what else plays.

The intro 😂😂😂

That's a really good idea. I might have to do that... Eriette doesn't feel that strong as unless you're in a total dream board state, you don't do that much damage or gain that much life from her. There's going to be a lot of decks that just can't sacrifice the enchantment to match; can they sacrifice a token though? The trade seems really appealing. You sacrifice something cheap, then they either give you a card & take 2, or sacrifice something presumably important to their game plan.

In paper it's a fine addition, like $2 for a playset

For Seth card names are just suggestions. Smellbook bender is a nice name.

I agree, plus ossification is a good card to craft, unlike coop up.

Yeah it's just hard to make both paper and arena budget in the same deck :(

He says it's not budget literally before 1:00

They are not spells you cast, so no, they are created and enter the battlefield so they trigger those effects, but are not casted.

@@gochadc Thank you, They would count as enchantments for all that glitters, though, so they still might be useful

@@AngelusNielson cards like setessan champion and eidolon of blossoms will still trigger because they happen on ETB

@@skykur WEll I"'m an arena player so my options are a bit more limited.

@@AngelusNielson my condolences 🙏

I'm playing a deck something like this one, but less budget. Playsets of Hexmage, Spellbook Vendor, and 3-of Conceited Witch & Archon of the Wild Rose. I put in Deep Cavern Bat because the disruption stapled to an evasive attacker is too good to pass up post-LCI if you're in black. I'm also running Twinblade Geist from VOW: double-striker that takes roles & other buffs super well, and can be Disturbed to cast again later as another aura. My sideboard has: - Virtue of Persistence & Go For The Throat to board in against aggro. I want the removal that gains me life, or instant-speed kill so I can try and blow them out if they pump with Monstrous Rage. - Ruin-Lurker Bat to swap in in lieu of removal to play against control. It's really hard for Standard control to profitably deal with 1-drops other than blowing up everything with a wrath, and I just want to play faster and aggressive. They aren't playing a lot of permanents to remove anyway, often they just play a couple Loch-Whales. - Kaya, Spirit's Justice for midrange mirrors, as she's a removal option that just has ongoing value. Planeswalker that protects herself, can dig for better cards, and exile stuff.

Seth: "The deck is playing more Cooped Ups than Ossifications, mostly because I wanted to see just how strong the upgraded Pacifism felt, but the numbers should probably be reversed. Ossification does everything Cooped Up does in our deck but is better against cards like Sheoldred, the Apocalypse that have static abilities that work even if they can't attack or block. "

Imma be honest dude.. 20 or less rares is pretty cheap on Arena. Lots of decks in standard right now have more than twice that.

I agree. 20 rares are pretty standard for a deck or on the cheaper side even.

Tell that to my 4 Jace the Mindsculptors I got for $400

Can’t please everyone every video. Go play some paper! Super cheap :p

If you draft a lot you should have 20 rare wild cards sitting around. You may also get many of these cards if you’re drafting Wilds of Eldraine.

hexmage might be a sleeper he says, I could've SWORN you or crim were on about this during preview season, but yeah, it's an absolute house fr fr
