Seth playing Bo1 is like a sign of the end times lmao.

Archangel of Wrath hitting the Metropolis Reformer was a pretty sick move

I can't believe I was the only monored deck you faced. I remembered this game though I am now annoyed I didn't notice the opponent name was you. I was struggling with my draw nearly as much as you were because I felt like i was having to play so reactionary instead of being as aggressive as I wanted to. Hurts that you called it an easy win even so 😀

I will say, as someone who used to play a lot of Best of 1 when I was playing, you may be seeing weird card choices because people with very incomplete card collections may have issues putting together a good side board and therefore eschew modes where you side board.

Funny enough I think Drana & Linvala's use is for the Rakdos matchup. Sure, it'll likely die, but it does shut down reflections and bloodtithe.

One thing I love these last couple of videos is being more specific for why certain cards occupy the sideboard slot - I'm pretty up to date on standard but if a modern deck tech comes around I'd like to know if any meta updates by way of what cards are important enough to sideboard for, like the need to run Hollowed Burial because of Indomitable Creativity, etc

Tje Metropolis Reformer line was sneaky af. Def a line I wouldn't have thought of.

As angels are my favorite creature type this is a dream come true for me. Thanks for the awesome decklist and the games! I gotta work on building this in paper.

It might be worth considering revisiting some older deck ideas from the earlier parts of this Standard after last rotation because mana is just so much better now than it was at rotation. Five color werewolves for Halloween maybe? Blue for Suspicious Stowaway. White for Brutal Cathar. Black for Graveyard Trespasser. And Gruul for the rest of the pack.

Been messing around with green white angels! Having a blast ty for the idea

After watching this video I checked out my pre-Aftermath angels decklist and Seth I think you've hit the nail on the head here. The problem with my deck was that it got run over by aggro and I didn't have a good 4-drop besides the archangel (which is more like 5-6 because you want to kick it). Aftermath has given angels exactly the right tools for getting better matchups. I'd personally pack a couple more removal spells (for the control matchup) and a couple of Enduring Angels instead of Drana and a Sanctuary Warden (for a really solid threat). Then I think it should be very well-rounded for best of 1. I'm not a best of 3 player so don't ask me for tips on that, it seems like a deck that'll get wrecked by board clears though. My personal experience of the angels deck recently is it depended too much on sticking a Giada and having enough time to build up an army. I faced way too much removal that I couldn't do that, so it faltered and then needed to get to the end-game to stand up to whatever the opponent was doing. When Righteous Angel was in the format you had a second angel you could stick early that would reap value and let you survive against aggro, but that hasn't been the case again until now.

Seeing Seth read the red player's mind in the last match and call the lightning strike was so cool. You could see the opponent was shocked by it by how they hovered.

This is what I'd consider to be an actual angel deck. Paladin like knights/soliders and almost all other creatures being actually angels. Its a pet peeve but I really hate "angel" decks that are like 5 angels and then just a bunch of other cards like fable.

This deck is all I want to do in MtG. Never spent wild cards faster.

On why Best of 1s sees more odd decks: I know for me I often take a new brew to Bo1s first to make sure I don't miss any obvious early lessons with the faster games before I tweak it and play a mix of Bo1 and Bo3

Draana and linvala (or however you spell it) can steal the copy ability from reflection

Love angels 😇! Thanks for the video

30:03 You had an Eiganjo in your hand. That could have bought a turn by blocking the Vindicator and blowing up your own blocker to deny the Vindicaator effect.

35:04 Unless I am missing something, Loran + Go for the Throat solves your issue Loran blows up the Skrelv, and then the way is clear for removal. Great video! Edit: Am confused, since Seth did this same line anyways.

i like best of 1 for standard content. probably the most relatable content for most viewers as well since its how we play arena

For Aftermath, I'd say the cards worth crafting are: the two angels, Coppercoat, Tribute, Training Grounds, Scavengers, Nissa, Calix, Rebirth, Jirina, and Karn. Most of those top out at 1-of and 2-of for standard and brawl. A couple are just good tech or build-arounds for their archetype. It's jank, but I really want to test a build of Tyvar with Kami of Whispered Hopes and Deathbloom Ritualist.

Oof I was curious in trying this! But this is a bit too rare rich for my blood, even running a lot of W/G before. Guess I'll try with a few less wildcards lol

Wouln’t metropolis angel save you from liliana?

I'm somewhat surprised we're playing Standard. I don't mind, and think one of the few who likes Standard brews, but I assumed we'd avoid the format until the bans.

Drana and Linvala is nice in commander since it shuts down opponents abilities but I can see it being weaker in standard

best of 3 is by far the better format for me. that said, i love angels, so i'm still here for it.

I just come here to see Seth counting mana, yes you tap those lands 😊

You missed lethal against Rakdos in a couple of ways 😂. That Etali came pretty close to saving your opponent too 😅. But the better Magic player came through.

i love that you are experiencing other formats like Best of 1 - and i play best of 1 all the time so its cool to see!

What did Seth say to the angels at the party? Are you heaven a good time?

A simple overlay keeping track of the match record would be nice.

Seth can you please make a Planet Earth-esque video documentary of you playing BO1 and making observations

Well shoot, that angel's a Privileged Position with a body and minor topdeck shenanigans with a decent body and for 1 less mana.

I love Seth playing best of one and his ideas on it. Also agree Best of 3 is boring content now, but this is all coming from a commander only player.

Lisa shuts down your opponent's Atsushi death trigger, Seath

In my experience the conplaints about mono-red, soldiers, rakdos, etc in bo1 are based on the platinum and below level. That's where most players play at, and why mythic is more diverse.

Does kicker make your etb ability black and red? I thought the source was white because the card is mono white

39:45 is that seth using the good game emote i see?

Errant and Giada can act as copy 5 and 6 of sigarda

perhaps before standard rotates i'll have the wildcards to craft this deck

I play best of one standard. It has a better variety like you experienced. I like you playing brees here

"they're about to rotate" Lol

You aren't playing against mono red cause mono red is protected in the queue against anything that counters it.

Favourite tribe

Angel of Suffering with Platinum Angel! In H Brawl.

Man I was wondering why someone was actually playing angels in a ranked game earlier.

Honestly, I've been playing Bo1more and more precisely because the meta is more varied, at least in Explorer.

I love it, please do more BO1 content!

I love BO1 cause you see more diversity. Instead of the same 75 cards and sideboards for the same match ups you need have your deck have an answer for as much as possible

Hell just play the new Jund spell that cares about lands with Soul of Windgrace would be fun.

MTGGoldFish is selling Drana&Linvala short. I played her as a 1 of 99 in brawl, and I wanted so many more of her.

Was there a reason enduring angel wasn't in the deck? I've been doing angels in standard for a couple of years and Giada + enduring angel is devastating plus with the new sigarda giving hexproof it'll make opponents need to put you to 0, flip enduring angel and deal with the extra life + growing threat.

Dang that's an expensive deck! (In wildcards)

Seth is so sweet and innocent at the start of this video thinking he can escape rakdos in Bo1

great video. prefer bo3 by far but 'is it because people don't know what they're doing in best of one?" yes yes it is. lol love the subtle shade on bo1.

What does "Mythic Tribe" mean?

re mono red: from what i understand people rank up to mythic with mono red and then start playing whatever they want for fun

Angels are too good for you brother Set. 😅😅😅😅😅

I have a nissa elementals build for modern if you are interested seth

I wonder how much the games you get is affected by your current rank. I feel like the sweatiest ranks (where people are most likely to be running top tier decks) is Gold (people grinding to Plat for the rewards), Diamond (people grinding to Mythic for bragging rights) and maybe the high end of Mythic (people trying to be the GOAT). Low Mythic is the type of place where I think people just run whatever they want cause they already got to Mythic, so unless they're trying to be the GOAT there's no reason to run strong decks.

"Most of the times it will be better just to win the game, but..." (c) SaffronOlive (40:10)

I prefer bo3 but approve of the occasional deviation.

I think it's really cute that you thought you wouldn't see any rakdos decks in best of 1 😂😂😂 It's the most popular deck on arena by a mile

15:45 Tbf I think people ranked at mythic know what they are doing.

I think I could count on 1 finger the amount of times Seth has mulliganed to 5.

So this deck could be called... Abzangels?

BO1 is better than BO3 for casual games imo

Man, Seth complains so much less about getting blown the fuck up by double Invoke Despair at 43:00 than he does about Fable of the Mirror-Breaker's 3-mana mana dork. :V

WILD CARDS WILD CARDS!!! WHERE ARE MY WILD CARDS?!?! ah...I don't have any

"You play against other things other than rakdos and ramp" Yea, one other thing, aggro. It's not THAT different. I play an equal amount of both between the ladder and events.

*Seth sees people experimenting with new cards after complaining about a stale meta* *Seth promptly insults them and begins complaining about their new cards* The MTG community in a nutshell

In Aftermath the one card I crafted was the Human Lord, because I play Humans. It is also an uncommon, but it is by far the strongest card in the set.

In best of 1, monored loses quite a bit, but in a best of three, not so much. ?I play best of 1, because who wants to play against the same two decks all the time?

the thing about mtga bo1 is, the matchups are controlled by the system, if your deck is good against some specific deck like monored, you won't see them very often.

Ollllllllllllliveeeeeee 🫒 ❤

Standard needs to ban Fable, Sheoldred, and Atraxa. Let the format get shaken up if we are gonna extend it

First! I think I deserve a sticker for being the first comment on a video, with it being published, in under 1 minute 😂😂

I’m so tired of Seth complaining about standard.

On the topic of Bo1 vs Bo3 play whatever you want man. Play Hearthstone for all I care

A little boring because your opponents were the same you see in every format, had to stop watching this and start watching Commander Clash instead.

i love my angel tribal

Lore wise. why is Sigarda the only angel that survives ,she was the worst one

I only play Bo3 for real tournaments I pay money for. Idc about digital and bo1 is an option, its faster and i dont waste time playing generic control,combo decks that slow play
