Killing on Turn 3 with Slickshot Show-Off | $65 / 11 Rare Budget Magic | OTJ Standard 

Playing mono red in early access must have made your opponents eyeroll lol

When you Plot you show your opponent your plans but when you Foretell you hide the prophecy. Make it make sense.

Seth solved RDW for new standard in record time 😂

Seth is pronouncing more cards incorrectly by accident, than Crim does on purpose 😄

It was said you would destroy the Mono red. Not join them!

You can't even buy 4 Slickshot Show-Offs for the $50 budget you set - good job, you broke it.

Slickshot seems a bit pushed, huh. I thought it just had prowess, so essentially a 2-mana flying Swiftspear.

Slickshot is actually so cracked. If you were to delve into blue, you could get options like slip out the back and shore up for protection against all of standard's removal.

I know, a lot of this is cuz ppl dont play removal in preview, but this feels like it'll be even worse to play against that that hexproof rotpriest stuff...

Personally I think I'd save on the budget by cutting the foundry for mountains and one sokenzan. Having a manland is nice, but as you saw in game 2, being able to hit RR for double 1 drops turn 2 is pretty important.

The fact that Slickshot has haste is what makes it a real threat. I've been playing mono red prowess in both Pioneer and Standard and having Codebreaker in MKM was a very welcome addition. Now, having a better threat that can come off plotting for free is just nuts. I'm glad it can make prowess a real deck in both formats, though.

"Breech the Mirror" is a new one

Something that I think gets understated: Seth is a VERY good Magic player (in addition to a brewer of fun decks). I love the explanation at 17:05 about the non-intuitive play. Really helps newer players understand the intricacies of the game.

Kiln fiend is one of my favorite “prowess” cards, and show-off is just that except it trades 1 power from the buff for haste AND flying.

Going from "Writing a Timeless Crime Novel" in your last video to making a "Plot-ess" deck is really funny, lol

Well the new best of 1 meta looks fun 😂

I wonder if I will hear Seth pronounce Kumono faces Kakkazan correctly once before it rotates

Turn 3 kill on turn 4 is really cool.

As a lifelong red player, Slickshot is definitely public enemy #1 right now. Most wanted dead or alive.

Love your budget magic series guys!

Love the content, keep it up!

Finally! Wizards made playable mono-red for standard /s

Probably my favourite deck on arena has been built around using Birgi to cast heaps of one cost draw/burn spells. Slickshot (and plot in general) essential become rituals that mean turn 3 wins become very much possible... Its probably just a worse version of mono red but I definitely find it conceptually more fun

As a RDW enjoyer, I spend every single game trading spells 1 for 1 with removal against control/midrange dekcs every single game. Not sure how Seth finds all these opponents that keep hands with less than 3 removal spells in their opening hand.

Love the vids Seth!

Buying this on paper for sure, still love my dimir draw two budget deck

I love slickshot showoff. I need to go build storm in every format.

Was wondering how a gameplay vid from Seth could be sub 30 mins. . Now I understand. 😂

There isn't anything I'd like to play less than Mono Red, still love the energy Seth!❤

Im playing a mix of izzet prowess & phoenix and i think Both the slickshot showoff and the new plot draw cards are insane for that deck ❤

I have a similar list prepared but also wanted to try out Stingerback Terror as the top of the curve. Have you given that one a try?

Thanks, keep up!

Welp. Not playing best of 1 standard for awhile.

Slickshot might be good in Gruul or Izzet too. Both offer protection. Izzet more spells to trigger things, Gruul for something like Picnic Ruiner for the pump meta.

Undeniably strong. Plot is really interesting and honestly healthy (in principle, whether or not Slickshot is busted) for this kind of aggro deck; it sacrifices hidden information in order to give the deck reach, to set up the unstoppable turn, or survive a bad draw. That's healthier for all involved instead of a deck that either definitely wins over the first 3 to 4 turns, or almost certainly loses. In actual Standard... B01 is already stupid fast. Faster than I think it should be if it's the 'default' and therefore intro to not-Commander Magic. Mono-Red and Boros convoke among others can already pretty much win by turn 3 or 4 if insufficiently answered. You already gotta run quite a lot of early removal, cheap wipes, incidental lifegain (assuming you don't have a payoff for it), or aggressive hand disruption. Plot is distinctly weak to hard counters, although it does make the 'pay extra' counters much much weaker. This seems like a better mono-Red but it remains to be seen if that will actually mean anything.

I was totally planning on doing this but was thinking I'd need it to be more midrange /control did not see this card draw in red!

theres a new 1 red spree instant that extra combat plus other stuff, so i think it would be great in mono red

Such a sick deck to play

That’s kinda my Pioneer Tournament Deck :D Kills turn 3 always 😂 gonna try Slickshot in the next rcq, wish me luck 💪🏼🙈

Do you think it replaces Tenth District Legionnaire in Boros Heroic in Pioneer/Explorer?

I’ve been wanting to make this idea work with the urabrask that turns into a saga for explorer/pioneer. It’s put up some results with OTJ in the format!

I feel like on average you would win more games if you replace those workshops with mountains than you gain by having the extra options in a control matchup.

Remember when Modern was called a 4 turn format? Pepperidge Farm remembers...

Great, mono red burn has even more toys now.

Hey there Seth...was curious as to what your Handle was for MTG Arena? would love to add ya and challenge you

Honestly I think the Foundries just get in the way. If you have nothing better to do than spend basically 3 mana for a bear, I think you were never going to get there. Plus the colorless lands are terrible.

This deck looks so fun

plot sound effect is way too loud lol. but really fun deck! love me some aggro. I tried building Gruul pump spell / prowess but that didnt quite hit the mark. but this slickshot...

The reasons to plot the bird is to protect it from (Sorcery-speed) removal and maybe to time it so it picks up a Faces counter. Is there another reason I'm missing?

Seems like it's fold super hard to removal. White or green splash for protection might be good.

A long time ago seth made a modern deck called boiling blood or something like that. I wonder if slickshot showoff could improve that one much cuz this deck feels very similar.

Love all these budget decks, but you gotta get em fast. 12 hours after this dropped its $90 w/o shipping. Go build the dopplegang deck, rhat thing is a blast and is still under $40!

If it makes you feel better Seth, at 19:50, even if you had hit your 3rd land, you'd have brought opponent to 1. The land would have let you cast your other Play with fire for 2, both swiftspears would have been +1 each and show-off would have been +2, for a total of +6 damage and they were at 7 after the attack.

Slickshot show-off is $19 now. It's not a $50 deck anymore. Still sick as hell. I also saw Callous Sell-Sword // Burn Together also plays well in this deck. Burn Together part of it.

only change i would think of is to change scorching shot for witchtaker frenzy

9:44 Okay, concedes I can respect are rare(outside of landscrewed or landflooded), that's one of 'em.

could reduce the rares by dropping the mishra lands, which seem like a liability when you may want RR on turn 2-3 anyway.

I kinda like Twinferno for this deck. Double Strike and the occasional copying something when needed.

15:35 they're just dead to you lightning striking their face EOT. They go to 16 from the strike. You cast slickshot, cast ruckus on swiftspear (3 power swiftspear, 3 power slickshot) Play with fire their face to 14 (4 power, 5 power) dealers choice of the second lightning strike or the antagonize to leave them at either -1 or -2 respectively

When your entire budget is four slickshots

No longer budget but still fun. LFG super prowess bird wizard

Can you add a moxfield link?

That horse is driving me crazy. But also it's cute. But also it's driving me crazy

Budget MRA is the Lord's work.

Love Slickshot :)

This standard deck seems playable in modern. Imagine how good the upgraded modern version would be

I see a near future where cut down is now a 4 of in every black deck in Bo1.

Can u build a deck that kills using the crime lands like straight up super ramp and kill with crime lands?

I would love to know how Seth gets draws like this, yet I go with the same cards, and I get 1 land. Mull to 6 and get 5 lands. Mull to 5 and get 0 lands.....for 4 games in a row. Land screw or flood constantly.

was 50 when he made the video, 65 when he captioned the video. do you think it will even stay budget

“Hey, runeterra players! Remember that one flurry of fists deck?”

Thumbnail look like that bird from one piece 😂😂😂 The one who owns the news.

Are the Prosperity Post cards standard legal?

Can you slow down this deck using Final Showdown? The +1 causes all creatures to lose all their abilities, which strips Haste. All the sorceries used during the kill turn have to be played pre-combat, so the opponent will of course wait until you move to declare attackers step, then remove Haste. I guess that leaves them one turn to find an answer, and a deck like this most likely has access to sweepers and cards like Temporary Lockdown (not for much longer though) to slow it down. Still, the deck looks very consistent and can take down the opponent 20 to 0 in a single turn, which is insane. From recent memory, I've never seen a monored deck being able to do this. Even Ramunap Red back in Hour of Devastation was nowhere near this fast.

SlickShot is absolutely 100% modern playable Seth, lava dart becomes two Lightning Bolts with Showoff.

I like kiln fiend decks so, yeah, cool!

Where are the twinferno's???

kumano has been in standard for 2 years now and he still wont pronounce it correctly

Wait how do you have access to thunder junction cards already

roiling vortex would be a good counter to this but honestly there might not even be enough time to cast it lol

What's the point of plotting the bird? Shouldn't you be swinging it for 1 damage instead?

It's a bummer that you weren't matched up with CGB 😂😂

Who could have known that a hasty flying Kiln Fiend would be good?

15:51 Playing with Firing lol

we might need drannith magistrate in standard.

How did they put flying on showoff? Omg

4x Knockout Blow going into sideboard

You can actually win more consistently on turn 3 by adding the fling card

Slickshot Sligh has a good ring to it.

Im calling it. This deck is gonna eat whole standard and maybe pioneer. Even Sheoldred is way too slow against this.

I’m feeling sick watching this and thinking about my future on arena

"I'm starting to think the Show-off is good in modern." Seth, it's Kiln Fiend on steroids. How are you just now starting to think that?!?

I expected Dwarven Forge-Chanter in the deck

Uhhh are historic wizards even stronger now?

Worldfire into plot stuff

Seth's _Budget Magic_ is Mono-Red? Must be time for a new set release....

Yay! A new glass cannon strategy that the meta will start playing to counter within a week. As if enough people weren't already playing black anyways.

7:25 BRUH they tutored for a SWAMP

Key to the deck is only showing games with slickshot in hand.
