Budget Magic 💀🟢⚫ Skeleton Tribal | Standard MTG Gameplay & Deck Tech | MTG Arena 

My favorite part is when Seth gets so excited and slips up and says “get the win with Squirre- We’re gonna do it with Skeletons!”

5 creatures on board. 5 different creature types. 0 skeletons. Seth: we're going to win with skeletons. Me: where?

Seth losing his mind at 12:30 was like a solid soccer announcer. So much excitement contained in just a few seconds.

Every time Seth plays a Skeletal Swarming: *xylophones intensify*

As a player who really wants to play skeleton tribal but doesn’t think it has enough representation, I was so mad when myrkul, Lord of *Bones* wasn’t a skeleton.

lol "Can they find a way out of the skeleton trap?" Has 5 creatures on board, 0 of them are skeletons.

I've been playing Arena pretty casually for a few months now, only playing with the starter decks. I've been saving my wildcards to build a decent standard deck, but haven't ever had the large amount of rares and mythics needed. I watched this video and finally found a fun looking deck that I actually have the wildcards to make, and I can already say I'm having a blast! Thanks Seth! I'm sure for more experienced players this may feel like a janky deck, but for me, it's easily the best deck I've played with and it's a ton of fun!

I'm always impressed with your sideboarding ability as it's an area I really struggle in

Seth ok we emptied their hand, now we just need a clock. 1/1 Inn Keeper: AM I A JOKE TO YOU?! 18 TURNS I GOT THIS!

I'm both excited and nervous for the deck. Skeletal Swarming is a scary card

@12:25 "We're gonna win with Skeletons!" Seth... I'm sure we can agree none of those creatures at that moment are Skeletons.

The thumbnail art is on-point! You can almost hear the "Nyaaah"!

I know this is budget, but Toski would definitely be a great upgrade. Enjoyed the games!

1:02:43 I love it when you can hear things other than what the streamer is saying, which paint a picture about what's going on. With seth you can sometimes hear him stroking his beard when he's thinking. Or the "donk" as he whacks the mic holder when something huge happens (I imagine him throwing up his hands in despair and hitting it on the way up). Guy on SCG had trucks going by the other day, he was in a big city somewhere. I think what we heard this time was him gasping for breath after throwing his headset to the floor when Aldrund's Epiphany resolved.

If I were you guys, 2 pithing needle in the sideboard to deal with wrenn and seven match up

I've been working on a skeleton swarming for a while but instead of more skeletons I run it with just good green black support/ramp and then 3 maskwood nexuses and then drop one like a craterhoof when I'm ready

I remember when I first saw this card, I loved it and it remains one of my favorite cards of all time 👍

That moment at 00:12:32 where Seth starts to sound like a commentator at a World Championship! Would really like to see that!

-go to innistrad -no skeletons Alrighty. Maybe crimson vow will have some.

Hope you're loving the new house Seth! So happy for you and the new puppy!!!

My favorite part was when the opponent look at skeleton and feel Crippling Fear. So spooky!

Punt at 30? Could have deadly brewed the liliana instead of binding especially since Seth was so worried about the opp getting swarming? Not sure.

I'm glad to see you're no longer scooping for the reason of "keeping information hidden".

0:13 The insect flying left to right across the screen made me rewind to see if it was part of the video or part of my environment. Luckily, it was the former.

I like that you don’t need a whole lot of creatures in play for this deck to win. A simple skeleton crew will do.

Gotta loves Seth's energy in that first game!

That whole turn from 19:12 to 20:12 was something truly special.

loved the punt into op punt ant 47:50

~16:30, I think the play was taking 4, then using the skelly to deadly brew on your turn to get back the innkeeper, then using binding on Kaya, then paying the 1 for a new skelly. More blockers, less life, more treasure.

Seth: we are gonna win with exkeletons!!!!! (there is not a single skeleton card on the field or played during that game)

"We get a win with skeletons!" He says, with no skeletons on the board at all lol

Any card that even remotely encourages me to sac/kill my stuff gets my approval Skeletons involved? I'll buy your whole stock

beeen trying this deck for a few days and it performs woderfully and is so much fun, even though it almost runs itself

I used Orvar the All-Form with Skeleton Swarming in previous standard But for this you need more stuff that can target the enchantment

25:20 = Mickey winning with Skeleton Tribal.

one could say the opponents suffered a bone crushing defeat

Loved the commentary on this One. You just sound like a Mexican Football sports commentator XD

Just checked out this deck. Looks interesting. What about running that one (kinda bad) changeling that adds a +1/+1 counter to a creature with ETB? I don't remember what it is, but I don't think it was that good, however, it is a skeleton that could help return the Moss Pit with the counter

Exactly what we wanted to see. Egg Zach Lee. I see you Seth.

How about a skeleton tribal for EDH? **spooky music plays in the background**

I know this sounds weird BUT I added Moon blessed cleric to search for enchantments. I cast it with treasure or white dual lands I can search up with Binding of the old gods. Also can search out meathook massacre against aggro. Meathook massacre just has good synergy with skeletal swarming.

And it was also the deck where the skeletons came to liiiiife! They came from under the ground. And from all over…

Maybe you could go into Sultai for Bears of Littjara as an honorary Skeleton? Ofc it wouldn't be budget anymore, but it could be worth it just for gags

Ok so question . What would you replace if you had a full set of toski. Also if this was in BO1 what lesson package would you run, maybe a couple more twitch’s for more lessons per game or easier access . Hope some one sees this I like this deck but I’m not sure where to go on this one. Thanks for the list

Spooky Scary Skeletons Send Shivers Down My Spine!

i feel like zilortha + swarming would be a fun against the odds. skeletons that don't die due to technically getting their toughness increased

love it. black + green is always best

So I took it to Fridaynight Magic two days ago. Couldn't get two crippling fears and left the Dealy Despites and Village Rites laying on the dresser as I put it together as I was going out the door XD But even without them I want to say it's a pretty good little budget deck! I expected to lose every round but have fun singing "Spooky Scary Skeletons" while getting curb stomped and yeah that happened with a fairly optimized Gruul Werewolves the first time but the second? I made him sweat when I got Maskwood down and ordere an all out attack with 5/1 "Skeletons" XD I made a light mistake of attacking Arlinn instead of directing it all at the face but honestly it made me realize I needed too shift my tactics brain too hard-core-hit-the-gas-aggro the rest of the night wasn't as bad! Bricked once or twice or got Maskwood early and had to rely on Myrrkul Death Priest to keep a stomp deck off me but I I could have easily won the 2/3 matches I was in and that's amazing considering this deck probably cost me 22$ in resources and I had to cannibalize three decks for Generous Innkeepers. think I should have put in more deadly brews to make up for the lack of draw power or the fact my opponents figured out that if I swung and they only blocked a little I would be wide open with very little to respond with. I also should have just doubled down and spalshed some snow and tossed in some Blood on the Snow or something to help offset my lack of board wipes cause that's where this shines! It's literally anti-removal! XD Which is so rare! I actually wanted to go up against a deck that used removal and board wipes so I could be like 'Well thanks for the help brother!" Before making a literal army to attack them back with Lol All in all it was a good deck and kept me from playing a too slow Fynnfect deck which is my last assembled standard deck. So thanks for giving me a pretty good spooky month in rank and a little puzzle to work on.

What about splashing red for flameskull? Or a couple demilich? Thoughts?

In the last turn of the last game, what if you use infernal grasp to kill the dragon that he chose? would it be death for when the spell resolves and do 0 damage? or the sucession of the pile is faster than the creature dieing?

blood line pretender seems like a good two of though not sure what you could cut here

What should we use instead of faceless haven now?

Swarming reminds me of Assemble the Legion. I know Legion is more powerful over time but man is Swarming is awesome!

I really like his overlay. What software is that? the deck list looks so clean. I use one, but the look of this one is so nice.

Seth cough twice if Richard is holding you hostage

Man, 12:30 ... thought I was watching horse races.

You had me at "skeleton tribal".

No persistent specimin? Can be sac'd through out the match. Can bring it back at EoT. Seems weird to leave it out

Spooky, Scary Skeletons!

Around 20:00, it wasn't so much a punt on the opponent's part as the opponent not having any good outs. Taking a million damage meant that they would lose the buffs to their Righteous Valkyries, leaving them with the choice of either going to 7 (and their Valkyries being a lot less powerful... that's blocking with just the 5/5) or losing their board. They chose to lose the board, figuring that they had a bunch of recursion in the deck, like all the Orahs. I'm not sure they were strictly wrong to do that, though I probably would have done things differently.

I'd love to see a variation of this deck in pioneer at some point.

29:46 why not Eye Twitch + Deadly Brew, then you can still hold up Binding?

I have a idea for against the odds. Deck that storms by casting spells on gold span dragon and finishing with lethal attack or storm spell.

I was expecting a maskwood nexus or two haha

I don’t think Skeletal Swarming is necessarily that good, but it does massively increase my enjoyment of the games I play it by a disproportionate amount :-)

i want to make a skeleton tribal deck but if i use skeletal swarming im gonna be slapping in either doubling season or parallel lives

Has anyone done a historic version of this?

I've had so much fun with Swarming in Standard, and your build is way better than mine.

So when will you be playing bird tribal? Sweet deck as always, but a lot of the skeletons still had all their soft bits attached. 😀

I've been playing this deck for a while and it competes. But not with any control decks like ones that take multiple turns. Cause you need a turn to do something. But can't do much about someone taking 6 turns. So sadly it won't win games. 😞

Seth keeps a one lander and gets punished for it. Me: *throws another penny in the jar*

I was cheering out loud against the alrunds 😂

Match 1 Seth went full auctioneer

Did anyone see that fly buzz past Seth’s head at the beginning of the video?

Yes…just fucking yes, me want skelebones tribal

I hope this deck is called “vacay to bonetown “

Impressive performance given that the support for the tribe in standard is pretty… bare bones

What about bloodline pretender?

I think running Meathook Massacre is important for this deck, against this board wipe control decks, for board states you cannot attack through, and for when you are behind.

Your commentary is so strong :)

Anyone else notice their Faceless Haven’s have disappeared and you can’t search for them?

I can hear Skellator's voice coming from the thumbnail.

The Spare Ribs deck.

🎶Spooky scary skeletons 🎶

Goldspan Dragon is just an aggressive Teferi, Hero of Dominaria, isn't it?

Haven’t finished watching yet, but just saying, if Faceless Haven is all creature types at the same time, wouldn’t Death-Priest see all 3 types listed and give Faceless Haven +3/+3 ?

Here me out: Chatterfang + magda + maskwood nexus + vehicle = lots of goodness

"We're gonna win with Skeletons!" No skeletons on the board.

Spooktober!

When the opponent is on 5 life, and has an Oynx on 2 "We lose to Onyx, so we have to kill it." Your opponent loses to having no life.

Loving these Golgari jank decks

A better skeleton does exist in Realmwalker even if it's in the sideboard as an anti-control creature to get value

G1 against Clerics you took all that damage from the Profs and let the Deadly Brews rot in your hand. Is there a play pattern I'm missing?

this deck is awesome, currently 0-6... but i will try the win :D

Skeletons need a Lazotep Reaver/Raise the Alarm

*SPIN THE WHEEL*

Why do people always fire off their draw spells before the discard? I understand that they will take the draw and is therefore a 2 for 1 but when you are digging for a critical, specific card it seems rather dubious.

I'm curious, why no sanitarium skeletons?

this deck is weirdly expensive for not having many rares

Maskwood Nexus seems like it would be really strong in this deck
