I Build the Saltiest Deck Possible. Will Anyone Play Me? | Historic Brawl | MTG Arena 

This deck ending up in some sort of brawl purgatory in the last match seems almost poetic, like these crimes against magic have consigned you to a very specific circle of heck. Good on you to prioritize the doggo.

I recently learned that in Chinese mythology, the monkey king Sun Wukong couldn’t be killed because he stacked seven different types of immortal. That’s this deck

you can probably get people to scoop easily enough with ragavan and 99 mountains

That last game, you know the opponent was having the time of their life

That top deck farewell game 1 was the most deserved thing I’ve ever seen.

Interestingly enough, Seth had the self-destruct button at in the last game. Teferi's Protection would phase out the Mutavault and make him lose instantly.

Watching that bonus game gave me the most ridiculous idea. Make a brawl deck that conjures cards (like oracle of alpha), in order to win a game of brawl with battle of wits. Sadly Battle of Wits isn't available in the brawl format so that dream died immediately. Maybe one day they'll put it in arena as a mistake. Haha.

After hearing all the locks in the intro, I am now convinced that this deck is Seth's greatest hits album

The absolute pain of a bunch of giant dragons becoming 1/1 due to a literal dice roll then dying on top of all that

On the "endless" match you could've still won. You would need to get a fresh hand from timetwister that has a Farewell. You choose all modes. With this farewell you can exile the Oracle of the Alpha to stop the opponent from getting more cards AND you also exile one timetwister. You repeat this process until you exile all timetwisters with Farewell, and then the opponent mills out.

That's kind of crazy that the Yarok deck didnt have acidic slime, terastodon, or even field of ruin to double up on their landfalls.

Damn Seth, I wish I was there when you played that last game, I would've created a program that repeatedly press spacebar so you can let the game run and go to the vet, automatically passing your turn for eternity. Then we will have been to see how long opponent would've stayed here living the Yarok dream. 😂 It would've make quite an interesting experience actually :)

I think you could have used Deck of Many Things to eventually roll a 20, rez one of their creatures, and then get rid of it Cavalier of Dawn.

14:18 when you try to "win more" and it backfires in the most glorious way

The last game is exactly magic as richard Garfield intended... it never ends

one of my favorite surprise cards that gets more people than you'd think for this kind of deck. Paladin Class. A tax of 1 isn't a lot, but it stops people from actually casting anything on your turn if they aren't careful

I'm 2/3 of the way through Long Strange Trip, the Grateful Dead documentary, and I was a little surprised when Jerry justifies the Hell's Angels being around because "good doesn't mean much without evil." I think Seth going on a stax tear every once in a while is the low-key equivalent. The dao of Saffron Olive is to play the magic version of a jam band then let Blood Moon hang out backstage.

In the final game there were a few lines you could have taken. Use soul guide lantern to slowly exile their graveyard. Or deck of many things to grab a creature from their yard. But both can take a very long time.

That game against Narset was absolutely nuts

I play a version of this deck, but with Reidane at the head. The artifact on the backside is exceptionally irritating against a lot of decks, particularly if you get out an Overwhelming Splendor. Also, with that deck, I had a game like the bonus one, but the opponent managed to force a draw by exploiting the limits of MTGA by making a MASSIVE creature token overrun with Scute Swarm.

Sagas+Solemnity. 10/10.

that bonus game is insane!!!! i think your opponent had the time of his life! so fun

That last game reminded me of the GW Heliod mirror matches in historic. If you're playing best of one, there's no time limit, even on the ladder. I've had single ladder games go for over two hours while we slogged back and forth, indestructible Voices getting our life totals into the thousands, scurry oak combos triggering both player's heliods on both sides so it's a game of chicken against the time-out bar. The early game is decided by who can stick the payoff and whether they can get enough value before both players have indestructible creatures and infinite combos. The late game is decided by scrying with Trelesara to see which person hits their one-of Ajani to clear the board. If no one's able to stick Trelasara to scry, the game becomes an absolute slog of long turns for one draw at a time trying to find the one-of out, and because both players know it's possible, sometimes neither one gives up, and it goes for hours.

The guy at the end of this video deserves the win. The point was to make them scoop and they refused. Totally earned lol

That *BONUS ROUND* at the end was legendary

This video speaks to me. Thank you. Also, how funny would it be if the last game opponent was the vet?

Best bits I made a specific note of: - vs Jund Dragon Reanimator, Seth asking for the crowdsurfing Karn (hi Crim!) - near the end, at the start of the last game, we really needed Phil's BONUS GAME bit come up! As for how to end that game: - Either one of you have a way to blow up the Mutavault (which might mean you have to turn it into a creature) OR - Your opponent doesn't Timetwister anymore. Basically, if this was paper, a Judge would be called over and they'd say one of you has to make a different choice for the game to progress.

That last game reaaaaally blew my mind. Magic's such a great game

I love these!! If my opponent can somehow get me into locks like these or even less clever ones like infinite w/e’s - I don’t even get mad. I just spam good game and appreciate the thought that went into breaking the magic. Please make more ❤

This is the kind of Magic I like to play. Major props I love it. I did something similar in Historic and I have no idea why I haven't done this in brawl yet. Well, time to start!

Shouldve done fall of thran with avacyn on the board in the 1st game :/

That last game was absurd, reminds me of that old friday nights sketch with a multiple day long commander game

Seth: Today I build the saltiest deck possible! *checks wild card reserves*

15:08 PUNT, Karn can get artifacts from outside the game AND exile get the liqud metal coating and take the rest of there lands ;(

I love that you are playing this against people that aren't me.

Your scoop on the last match was the equivilent of blaming a fart on the dog. 🤣Crazy match man thanks for sharing

Soul guide lantern was the only out I could see you would just have to draw it

You had me laughing just at the deck tech.

That Narset game was so good. Great game

Bear is in your companion zone. Echo: at the beginning of your upkeep, take to the Vet

This was very fun to watch

Happy to see you playing historic brawl Seth! Great deck very entertaining

I've been in those matches a few times actually, which is why I now always throw in answers to this situation when I play can't lose locks.

Reminds me of my old school stasis/howling mine deck back in the day. It was fun once then despised!

this is so fun to watch yes so salty to play against. good job

Add faithbound judge, the flip side "sinner's judgement" is a three turn timer that gives you an alternate win con should your opponent snowball a combo deck that you can't reasonably kill quickly

Thank you for another historic brawl deck!!!

in the last match could you have used the deck of many things and get one of their creatures to leave the battlefield to make them lose?

“The vet won?” Hahaha 😂😂😂

My jank mono white enchantments historic deck is something quite similar to this, it's just only the max limit that arena will allow, 247 cards and 3 in the sideboard. I can foretell it right now, a lot of people will scoop, and others will stubbornly trek on, or time themselves out.

When you played Search for Glory in that epic game, you should have grabbed Reidane. The artifact side would have prevented the damage that the emblems were doing as well as help protect gideon.

A cool deck you could do similarish to this is a deck built around a nine lives solemnity lock, or any lock that prevents you from taking damage, and then the monarch and initiative mechanics, since you can only steal them with combat damage.

love historic brawl content always. Thank you for this

I ❤❤❤❤ the bear footage at the end!! ❤❤

The nice thing to do would be to scoop (speaking about the final game) - but what if you had one of those little bird toys that swings up and down? Just place that on your desk to tap your space-bar and then go to the vet appointment. (Or setup a software macro to click pass). You pass priority indefinitely and let Yarok have fun playing alone (as he did the entire game anyway). Great video though!

This was delicious. I hope you will bring something like this when you return on commander clash, maybe for an all salt episode

It would be a loss to needing to go to the bathroom for me xD hahaha great episode xD

I wish Seth played Historic Brawl more ❤❤❤

Seth made Crim and PK so proud with this wow

Great deck theme! Brother has like 5 Salty deck themes.

Best story at the end ever lol.

I've been in that same exact stalemate in the bonus game a couple of times. The first time, it was about 3.5 hours of just passing my turn until the other guy finally conceded. Second time I conceded after 2 hours because i had stuff to do.

Never Jo to a deck tech till now, ty papa Seth

I somewhere read a comment that sums this up pretty well: "Seth subscribes to the deck building philosophy that fun in MTG is a 0-sum-game and he's having all of it."

That bonus game would make Hans proud, Seth. You almost recreated Pro Tour Honolulu lmao

I love the take state created by the bonus match

That first match was as simple as playing fall of thran but you showed mercy.... Then opponent said farewell xD

It makes my brain itch that you say Ejano. It’s eye-GONE-joe

Excitement, the thumbnail reminds me a bit of a deck I have.

I’m very pleased by Historic Brawl content. Thank you MTG 🐠

Man, that game vs Narset was so cool, it felt like watching a movie. lol After all it's just like Arena says: everyone likes a good comeback story.

This is basically my EDH deck, which is Nahiri, the Lithomancer and "all the wraths, taxes, and mono white fun police you can think of". Respect.

Seeing the Narset player miss lethal the turn you got the gid emblem (could kill the gideon and then put more counters on the 9 lives) had me pumped

The dragon opponent looks like they had a cool deck! Sorry you caught Seth on a bad day!

My Ratadrabik deck would have some fun with this. Elesh Norn, and Overwhelming splendor would hurt, but I have removal. I think it would be a good game. Especially because I have ways around damage because it's a combo deck revolving around opponents losing life rather than taking damage. I'll need to add Field of Ruin though lol

Him clicking on every chandra trigger is so goddamn bm.

I wanted to do something similar in commander, but more chaotic with cards like Naked Singularity

I really enjoyed this. I may have to assemble.

Seth, this is beautiful. Thank you

love this video!!

That last game its the reason why i put a land with any kind of land destruction effect in my Commanders. There is always someone that runs a land that will ruin your game.

I like how you wreck people with my techniques I think of sometimes. I recommend an idea for against the odds: It uses 9 lives and harmless offering then kill all enchantments without targeting. You rock man.

Always love historic brawl content! Please please PLEASE make a video for Zada, Hedron Grinder. She'd be perfect for budget magic! 😁

In the bonus game, you can't run out of Timetwisters if you have 2. The second one shuffles the first one back in and the first one will shuffle the third back in, the only way to win at that point would be the god pharoh statue for pinging if they couldn't get rid of it. I'm assuming they take infinite turns as well?

That last game was glorious. The game that never ends

At the point in the last game where he's talking about maybe hoping for the opponent to mill out, they've literally already had midnight clocks pop from Clockmaker Russo. He didn't even need the timetwisters, there were redundant sources of deck replenishment.

That Narset match Seth’s deck did him soooo dirty with all those lands!!!

the format where people regularly scoop to any form of countermagic or removal on their commander? Before watching this video I absolutely expect constant instant concessions.

The last game is just an unstoppable force meets an unmoveable object

2nd to last game was honestly the best game ive watched in my life that was so nice

I'm curious saffron olive - In the bonus game if the opponent has a way to steal the liquid-metal coating on the battlefield, he could then turn the mutavault into an artifact and exile it with one of the green cards a yarrok deck would run. The game being in fast forward, I didn't catch if they had a way to do this... let me know!

I had a game like the bonus game, on arena once. Had it on my lunch break at work. Kept playing until the shift ended. Kept it going on my phone as I drove home. It was several hours. The client crashed and I restarted the client multiple times. It was glorious. AND I WON.

I love the opponent who had lemmings for profile name I'm really enjoying the anime that lemmings is from.

The Deck of Many Things in the first game was like "You're not getting rid of me that easily."

eventually you couldve used sweeper into the graveyard exile at some point in the loop when you had it in hand when their deck size get's low to likely have them scoop.

They won't run out of twisters, but eventually the twisters set you up with 7 cards which line up well while they draw 7 mox/land. Something like nova, overwhelming splendor, Norn, statue?

Discard, hard control, stax - arena is a great place to play them, because in real life poeple would just stop playing agains me, if I had all these decks :D

Agatha's Soul Cauldron would potentially work well with Fall of Thran cause you can just exile the land under the Cauldren during their turn then untap your next turn and steal the second land from their grave and rinse and repeat if you could get Fall of Thran back into play.

I laughed so hard at the Farewell in game 1.... hahahh damn Opponent is gonna scoop, Opponent is gonna scoop... wow.... hahahhaha

You are missing 1 important card for this plan. Axis of Mortality. It's awesome to resolve after your below 0 with Gideons emblem :)
