as someone who listens to Seth's videos passively, Hedge Mage instead of Hedge Maze and Analysis instead of Analyst was making me very confused. now i want to make my own versions of Seth's spoken cards that are typed the way he was speaking about them in the video.
Could be a pretty fun set of proxies - maybe with some derpy, cartoonish art. There's certainly a wealth of mispronunciations available, if you go back through his video catalogue
@Itfailed There's actually a spicier wincon that I'm surprised Seth didn't mention. If you have 12 fetches/legendary lands in yard and Analyst + Nissa + Slogurk in play you make infinite mana by looping Analyst with Takenuma and Slogurk. Eventually you mill a Jace and then you loop Jace until your opponent decks
For a long time, a 0 mana sorcery that just said "draw a card" would be the most played card in every format because it lets you effectively play a 56 card deck in constructed (98 card deck in Commander and 3x card deck in limited, depending on how many you could draft). Since Yorion came around, however, all sorts of deck sizes have been popping up. It's a very interesting time. "The less cards, the better" is no longer necessarily an absolute.
This deck won the Chicago 75k Standard Open a few weeks back, kudos to that pilot for bringing some spice. But Seth is right, enjoy this list while you can seems fragile.
I always love watching Seth play, but this deck looks like a coma to watch, play, or play against. Combos that are based on endless stacks of triggers wear out their welcome rather quickly even when the concept of the deck is pretty sweet.
I love the inclusion of Ertai: it can force the opponent to draw a card after milling them out. Niche, but hey, it might matter. Plenty of Takenuma's and Mana to go around to make it work.
You know, it says something about the state of standard when you think you're watching some historic or timeless deck and it turns out it's just standard.
Excited to see this deck and Conspiracy Unraveler combo more in Bo3 so I can play against it with my deck that's already running 3 Soul-Guide Lanterns in the sideboard lol.
Aftermath Analyst is an interesting card. I just built a deck I call Restless Naya in standard. It has Restless Bivouac, Prairie, and Ridgeline, Mirrex, and Sunken Citadel alongside some basics. It uses Case of the Locked Hothouse, Aftermath Analyst, Topiary Stomper, and Blossoming Tortoise to power out as many lands as possible then swings in with a bunch of man-lands. I won my first match, but I think my opponent scooped because he did the math wrong. The fact that a deck like this even sort of functions shows how wierd and varied standard is right now.
ive been playing this as a mill deck. bouncing slogurk and getting takenuma to get back the analysis to generate infinite mana and then getting the Jace to mill my opposites
41:07 I understand why he's keeping mana by not saccing, but it's funny hearing Saf say "wed just be gaining a bunch of life" against an aggro deck lmao
Psychogenic Probe, if it were in Standard, would be an absolutely hilarious counter to this deck given how many shuffle events it technically triggers. XD
For the match 4 (and other matches, really), you can loop your Jace with Slogurk and the channel land. Which is quite lethal as Jace can send it self back to graveyard with a massive mill. Two loops should be enough to win the game.
How can you be running a Landfall deck without the various iterations of Omnath??? Both Rage and Roil compliment each other quite nicely. Omnath, Locus of Rage creates an army of 5/5 elementals by spitting one out with each land hitting the table...then once you're finally done popping off with land drops for the turn, you drop Omnath, Locus of the Roil, which deals 1 damage to any target for every elemental you have in play when it ETBs, and every elemental that ETBs afterward lets you put a +1/+1 counter on one of them and if you have 8 or more lands, you get to draw a card. Then you have the Ancient Greenwarden which lets you play lands from the graveyard and it causes your Landfall triggers to happen an additional time for each one in play. Pair those up with Risen Reefs to continually combo off of the Omnaths making more elementals on every land drop and giving them +1/+1 counters in addition to all of the card draws that the Roil Omnath provides, and then you get even MORE card draws if you have Tatyova, Benthic Druid in play. She's a legendary with Simic colors that gives you 1 life and a card draw for every land that ETBs. Once you have all of those on the table there is only two cards left to really pop off. Ashaya, Soul of the Wild to make ALL of your creatures lands so that every creature that ETBs also triggers your landfall cards (thus also making most removal spells and effects fizzle because a lot of them say either destroy or exile "target non-land permanent"), and the Cultivator Colossus which lets you continually play a land, then draw a card infinitely until your library is empty (careful with that because you do NOT want to use Colossus to empty your library while you still have draw triggers on the stack from Tatyova or you will lose the game). Then you can either cast Oracle of Thassa or Jace, Wielder of Mysteries to seal the win for no cards left....OR you can attack with Ashaya and the Colossus if you casted them on a prior turn for 20+ damage each with Trample for lethal. Edit: I forgot to add that if you have Ashaya in play, now that your creatures are all triggering Landfall, so does a Panharmonicon if you have one active. Ordinarily it does not interact with Landfall at all but thanks to Ashaya it is essentially another Greenwarden and will act and operate accordingly causing yet ANOTHER round of Landfall triggers. Add in an Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines and you have yet another set of triggers. With each of those in play with Tatyova, you will draw out your deck VERY quickly, gain tons of life, and make a LOT of mana via the Lotus Cobras and Nissa, Resurgent Animist who also gives mana on land drops.
It feels like this deck needs a fling effect. The adventure fling can be returned from the graveyard with the black land and you get the red mana from Nissa.
Seth, im honestly surprised you dont have a Field of Ruin in here just for giggles, repeatedly being able to blow up pesky Mirrex's and man lands let alone duals, seems on brand for you and this deck
I ran into this the first time a few days ago and couldn't figure out what it was trying to do. I had a Sylex out and farewelled creatures and yards and they just scooped so I was so confused until now. 😂
Me: What is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself undergoing any permanent chemical change? Seth: Catalysis Me: What is a precious stone consisting of a violet or purple variety of quartz? Seth: Amethysis.
Seth must just *barely* glance at the names of cards before deciding how to pronounce them because I KNOW he knows the difference between an "analyst" and an "analysis". In what world would an analysis be a creature card anyway?
You should play a Crisis, Titan of the waves Brawl deck! There only only 2 cards and some utility lands, doesn't really matter which. Laelia and Etali's favor!
Would it be worth it to add 2-3 copies of spelunking, so that the lands from the fetch's and other none fetch lands enter untaped when casting splendid reclamation? I mean, it would give you more mana to work with.
@@AricHaldan0782nissa makes the fetches generate mana even when you have no basics left in deck and is retrievable with takenuma so it's a big difference
Since we are talking about lands I saw commander podcast on full art lands. I'm curious Seth what would be your favorite full art lands and the one you dislike the most? Thanks
I definitely saw a few hard grave-hate pieces at the standard regional qualifier in the mainboards. They kept eating my prototypes and dinosaurs so I couldn't Pull them back ;_;
ive got- a new build as well, that dumpsters a lot of decks, this one included. Gonna be doing a vid on it soon, missing a few key cards to make it run super smooth, this is a fun deck tho
