Dimir Tokens ⚫💙 Budget Magic ⚫💙 Standard MTG Gameplay & Deck Tech | Magic Arena 

He would won this last game so fast if he knew that.

Bro your right even jim davis forgets

Maybe Seth did remember and was just playing with his food?

Didn’t the opponent have a creature land? Seth did mention that too, as they were leaving mana up for it

@@Robin-ve7ck He had some opportunities to attack when the opponent was tapped out. He could swing at least two times.

Alzheimer's the card

Not lost, top comment.

Hahahah I will never not think that now lol

That is so dumb, I love it, I don't think I'll ever be calling it fateful absence again.

Or, "Wheres my nurse?"

Oh joy Seth doesn’t know how to read Dimir edition lol

I came here to say just that :P Too funny.

I had to rewind the moment I saw that too and wondered why he was scooping to it. At that point he was just demoralized with that hand and clearly wanted to move on.

Opponent did have hall of storm giant to double block

So frustrating when he lost that fourth match because of that as well.

No, his opponent is just kinda dumb. Once seth targeted his own creature with that removal spell, they were supposed to let it happen. It made literally no sense for them to target it after that. The ONLY way seth could win that turn was if his opponent did that. And I am baffled that they did.

I didn't until I was extremely confused when the copy resolved without giving me cards the first time

I'm assuming that's sarcasm

@@Atmapalazzo . Not at all, the "destroying your own Sedgemoor Witch for a token and a ward bait" left me impressed.

@@netanelaker4437 so here's the thing. There was no reason for the opponent to vanishing verse the witch. Seth was going to lose it to grasp. His opponent just punted the game in response to Seth punting.

@@Atmapalazzo being able to bait the opponent into punting is a skill

@@poiri punting to try and get you opponent to punt back is not baiting

I was thinking the same thing. rotten reunion, flip the switch, startle, and vivisection are cards that make more sense to me with poppet sticher. I understand that negate, saw it coming, and behold the multiverse are probably just better cards but that just takes away the point of it being a sticher deck and if you just wanted to play the best cards you'd probably not play the sticher in the first place.

I want to do the same thing, I think trickster God heist is such a cool card. I'm trying to use pithing needle with it to stop chariot, wren, faceless haven, etc so I can get some value out of part 2 of heist if they have a decent artifact like The celestus or something.

@@YuGiHo I also run Deadly Dispute with all the tokens. Sometimes I trade the Treasure (artifact) or even the Trickster Gods Heist itself (enchantment)

The pests gain you 1 life when they die unfortunately, though if Seth had attacked with the witch the turn they just had Iymrith down 47:30 and got the opp to 5 he would've won in the subsequent turns

@@sturnn That's right, they don't drain they just gain when they die. Thanks for the reply!

Opponent had hall of the storm giant to double block

@@papaSwarls Seth also had Fading hope to bounce the Dragon soon as his opponent activates it.

@@Firstonetolive there were 4 FOUR turns where opponent did not have hall as an option. just a simple seth forgot menace. i swear he does it on purpose, making grown men scream at their screen as if their children watching dora the explorer who cant find an ffing monkey

He doesn't have the damage to make it through if opponent sacs two serpents to tap the delvers

This is late but I think this is wrong. Opponent can just sac 2, tap both delvers, block two tokens, and take two from witch and the other token to go to 2. It would take of course them realizing they have to tap down both and such so it would be playing to his out, but it's not a win

Story of the format right now 😩 hard to beat both mono W and Epiphany. I started playing monored Sligh out of spite lol it does better than most of my rare/mythic decks at the moment

Why did seth even kill the witch? I know that he wanted the 1/1 token but because of ward he could have choosen to not take the damage to keep the witch.

@@bioshockinfintyfan Ward only counters opponents spells, so Seth's spell was going through no matter what. When describing the line, it sounds like his thinking was to hope that the opponent didn't understand that aspect of Ward.

The line was Seth did an Oops that only worked out because his opponent made a dumb decision to counter his dumb decision.

@@masterthnag105 That seems the much more likely scenario. The rare punt into a punt right back.

@@freak130y The rare 1st Down Punt.

You can go UR for a budget Delver deck with Thermo Alchemist. I had 1 Stitcher so I threw it in. And Smoldering Egg if you have any rare WCs. Or WR with Lumimancer.

Probably for arena because there are not that many rares or mythics

unfortunately, Arena budget and paper budget pull in two different directions. Paper budget magic is about using the cool rares that no-one has found a way to make good yet, while Arena budget is about getting uncommons to form a cohesive deck, while maximizing the few rares that you do have access to. There are some similar rules, but the available card pool looks quite different.

MTGGoldfish's budget magic series has always been $100 or less, even like two years ago (this is one of the weird ones that are slightly higher for the reasons mentioned earlier). Seth usually posts an ultrabudget version that's under $50 in the full article.

No. It's a copy of the face side of Delver no matter what happens (though the physical card will flip over, nothing changes). This is the same reason the Ludevic/Exalted Angel thing works.

also sedgemore has menace!!!

there is an export option

Because he’s Seth

To keep complexity down for new players.

@@crazygermn Maro has said that it also helps keep players focused on the main archetypes in limited for those who are unfamiliar with the format. (E.g. if you see one Magecraft card you'd expect more)

It's because they could draw another card with for tell and have foretold that instead

keep printing them? so we get them every set right get a grip lmfao

@pagmon do you actually play standard? Extra turn spells are too strong for it, we’ve seen it multiple times

@@Lucat27 I play azorius tempo when i do dabble in standard as a counter to the meta slaves thinking a few copies of alrunds epiphany in there decks will finally carry them out of gold. Kaldheim was here before rotation and no one cared that epiphany existed then and now worlds happened and lazy players believe there is an issue. It can be beaten, counterspells are in the format for good reason. Never mind test of talents usually forcing a concession out of an alrunds pleb. Also aggro exists, green is in a fantastic spot at this point in time. Literally players like yourselves and the other complainers are the reason wizards ban cards that don't deserve it because you can't be bothered to counter and adapt to "meta" shifts.

Kaldhiem was here before rotation and no one complained then? Do you hear yourself? Have you already forgotten the days of eldraine? Of course Alrunds wasn’t great then, standard was a whole different world.

@@Lucat27 Blue extra turn spells are either uselessly slow for their standard format and nobody plays them, or oppressively powerful and everybody who isn’t playing them (and lots of people who are) hates them. Neither are good situations: I firmly believe that they should stop printing them.

ah this is great though, brings me right back to monastery mentor. funny to watch your opponent stall against you with 1 creature for like 10 turns though haha

"opponent says oops like we made a mistake but they just happened to draw a wrath." oh my god such a classic example of MTGA behavior. I loved your perfectly rational response to it. that crap is exactly why I stopped playing arena. I don't know what it is, but that game client just somehow manages to bring out the worst in everyone who plays it. you could get mother theresa to play arena and she'd somehow end up the most toxic gesture spammer of all. it's almost like something about the UI and the gesture interface makes everyone want to be all sardonic and cruel. consequently, players have somehow managed to turn "hello" and "good game" into insults that instantly make me really salty. I don't know why but I never experience any of that in MTGO. I guess it's because you can actually talk to your opponent, you're not hiding behind the extremely limited emotes. it's a lot easier to compliment your opponent on their deckbuilding and have a real conversation. and if you're a dick, you have to deal with your opponent actually responding like "dude why are you being such a prick?" which would force you to look at your behavior critically. with the gestures in arena, there isn't really any way for your opponent to force you to evaluate your own douchey behavior. the best they can do is respond by mirroring it. which is probably how everyone ends up acting the same way. I can only assume that the only people who don't use emotes rudely and sarcasticaly on MTGA are people who are actively streaming it and don't want their viewers to see them being a dick haha. so I just prefer to play MTGO, even if I'm gonna play standard. although I much prefer to play modern anyway.
