I Go Spelunking with 10 Rare Caves | $30 Budget Magic 

AKA, destroy your liver in 5 minutes

you are going to have a lots of death on your hands with that game

*dies*

And cascade for discover if you want hard mode

@@ericaschner3283 to be fair, discover is basically cascade

Hmm, I think you might be right :)

@@MTGGoldfish I was thinking that also.. I thought you were going to do that because you made the maws 0/0 + 3 counters creatures rather than other caves.. I wonder if the landlord Tortoise from Eldraine would fit the caves deck -- would be kinda cool since you already have turttlepower in the sky..

were you aware that card kingdom is missing cards from this deck? I have to laugh, all of your decks aren't able to be bought in completion on card kingdom. forcing people to look elsewhere, finding better deals on other sites.@@MTGGoldfish

Right. Magic is a really hard game and everybody makes mistakes, unless they are playing the same deck for the 10,000th time

Seth loves to concede when he has lethal on board, then keeps playing against control when it's turn nine and the opponent is at 14 and has 7 cards in hand. A few highly visible blunders make people forget that he is, for the most part, a very competent player.

It gets better with copies of Boseiju and Otawara

I think there is a chance it's actually surprisingly synergistic.

I guess you can still choose to put it in your hand but yeah it is a feel bad. Still though bat colony seems pretty strong when you can get all three bats

Then don't cast it, put it in your grip, and enjoy your tutor.

@@OGNoNameNobodyYeah I feel that Bat Colony probably is better than I’m giving it credit for but I’m just irrational

Yeah, that part is awkward, but you can always just put it in your hand and sac cast it for mana.

Agreed, seems like somewhat of an oversight. Maybe it would have worked better as "make x bats, where x is the number of caves you control. x can't be greater than 3." Sounds kinda clunky, I'm sure there's a better way of making that idea work

I never thought of it quite so succinctly, but those ARE the staples of a classic Standard control deck, no? Dang... Lmao

As well as playing a bunch of lands with a ton of different abilities that the majority of your opponents are not likely to know much about. Nvm the abilities, it's hard to remember which colours you have available lmao

I was going to say this to

Also came to say the same thing. He's putting himself on hard mode lol

Yea people have gotten to used to calling this 'new cascade' and forget that option

already calling them gates. god will judge you, seth, probably better known as saffronolive

Mono coler deck maybe

I was absolutely expecting him to pronounce them "Kayvee"

What are caves but earth gates?

​@@OfficeCommandoProBABly better known as Safrooooooooonnnn Ahhhhhhlive

Nice!

I love gambling mechanics 🤑💰

Yeah, that deck looked super cool.

not a cave tho

@@novelnouvel It is a cave. Pit of Offerings.

that'd be so broken. acorn card nearby planet already feels broken, being all land types itself

Imma going to be so depressed when this deck rotates out.

No universe where this is EVER modern viable.

Follow the link in the description to the full article, from there you should be able to copy it to your clipboard to import it into Arena ((: (Although I don't think the cards are actually on arena until tomorrow)

Built this deck myself leech is where i started my cuts.

In Historic I think Gates might still be better, but you could do a lot of the same tricks with Caves for sure.

Because spelunking

Disdainful stroke, wedding announcements, incandescent aria is another sweeper for aggressive decks.

Kami war is VERY strong. Atraxa is also an obscene top end. Blossoming tortise is very strong as well. Makes your cavernous maws cheaper to activate and also lets you rebuy your caves youve used.

So far. I've cut the go for the throat for 2x Virtue of Persistence and 1x Path of Peril. The hardest matchups so far are Aggro: Soldiers & Red. So adding a bit of life gain and more flexable removal helps, but its still the weakest point of it. Also just having a top end of Virtue to just ramp into sometimes closes the game outright. Urabrask's forge generally beats you 9 times out of 10 though. I think the sideboard reflects what's the problems... In control matchups I think you want to board in wren and worldbreaker (2) I'm heavily considering Abraid, Brotherhood's end, and Loren of the Thrid Path. Downside with Loren and Wren is that you can't get them with Shegeki loops, So that might be incorrect. I think 2x Path of Peril is also correct in the board? Because i kind of feel that black/white is a bit easier that black-black? Weird observation from playing, diversifying your mana-pips in your tech...almost makes it easier to cast in this deck. Your less likely to draw something that is just off color, if you have a bit of everything? But that's just my experince.

@TheFiretiger try incandescent aria. Its real good at stabilizing against aggressive decks if you just need an extra turn for the deck to get running

I've been hesitant to try the aria, but I might give it a shot just to see how it feels. I was concidering sunset revalry for the potential blockers, life, card, time bye. I'm a little shocked that so few people are brewing/iterateing on this deck online and ladder. Every other article post I've seen always reads for better top end like Itali, but I think the top end is perfectly fine. You can loop a wrath every turn. It's the early game survival that is the tension point.

@TheFiretiger the only top end ive really liked is atraxa honestly just because she has evasion and all the key words.

Yeah, it's even better than I thought because Map tokens are worse than I expected.
