Bad analogy. Maybe if Seth was using a 60 card starter pack from like 4th edition against a powered vintage deck and actually won. Throwing gravel at a tank does nothing.
One of my favorite parts was that even though Thraben Inspector is replacing esper sentinel, the fact that it has 2 toughness was instrumental in winning in game 3 vs creativity.
You know Magic is at least in some sort of healthy place if Seth can manage 5-0 on a budget magic video. Seth continues to be one of the great pillars of our community. Love it.
This really has always been the case with magic. I know its all the rage to shit on wizards but there was never a time you couldn't win with a budget deck and they always ban problematic stuff. Unlike say Konami which literally only bans ftks immediately and then anything else needs to wait for months if not years
Holy shit this deck got there, somehow. Love to see it! The mana tithe mind game is real. You never see a white deck the same way after getting mana tithe'd out of a clear victory.
This deck gets a big boost from the meta. No one is playing board wipes, so opponents spend 1 for 1 removal spells on tokens; Force of Virtue stands in well for the more expensive MH2 free spells; And the sideboard cards do a lot of work. And all the utility lands really do give the deck reach. It's a solid brew!
The thing I love about this kind of deck is that you literally do not care about creature removal. It must've felt REALLY bad to spend an Unholy Hit on a 1/1 token. :p I'm actually not surprised that you did well with this pile of cards - the meta is currently focused around either making singular huge plays OR answering those huge plays, so going really wide is something that most decks aren't really equipped to deal with.
Drawing the Force of Virtue at 33:19 guaranteed the win even if they had double removal since the attack flipped landing letting you hard cast the virtue
Hi Seth, First of congratulations to the 5-0 with that beautiful archetype! I see you have found the list I brought to the Grand Open Qualifier in Amsterdam last week, and did a better job at piloting it than I did there (4-5-0 followed by a 3-2-1). It is interesting to hear your opinion on Honor of the Pure, since Intangible Virtue had been an unmovable 4-off for a long time on the tokens discord. Only the printings of Resolute Reinforcements and the addition of a hate bear heavy sideboard made me consider to swap to Honor of the Pure. I even had to buy them on the venue 30minutes before the start of the tournament. Absolutely worth it, Honor was better than Intangible in most cases. A single Intangible Virtue still has its place as long as the deck has Loxodons. Vigilance allows the tokens to attack first, then pay for a Loxodon with convoke. You are lucky not to have met any living ends, the cascade is the scourge of tokens, since it wipes our board at every living end… If anyone has questions, been playing the deck since 2019 :) The deck is definitely worth a try if one has a rental account on MTGO. May the Tokens be with you, always!
33:50 double removal would not have been enough, you'd flip Landing anyway and be able to hard cast a second Force, making the two unblocked creatures still lethal.
Legions landing felt like the mvp in so many of those games. I know ixalan gets a bad rap for being under power set but those some of those flip enchantments are pretty good
Congradulations, Seth, on the *SECOND* 5-0 _Budget Magic_ Victory of 2022! And folks, learn the lesson from the first one: Scoop up this deck *NOW* before demand puts it out of "budget range"!!
PSA: If you think your opponent has Dress Down, cast your Resolute Reinforcements during their postcombat main phase! They can still fizzle the token, but at least they don't have it during your turn.
mono white tokens was a semi good thing a couple of years ago, it always has the possibility of winning. fury hurts it as well as boardwipes but overall its a good budget deck.
I have tried Mono white, Selesnya, Abzan, Esper, mono green, and bant tokens and bant has been my absolute best brew utilizing Protect The Negotiatiors that cards absurd it scales really well and has won me so many games.
@@nasogard nah I don't mind this is what I've currently been trying. The sideboard is still a work in progress but it's pretty straightforward. RU-vid doesn't allow for links so had to do it in text form. Main board 4 Beckon Apparition 4 Esper Sentinel 2 Flooded Strand 4 Force of Virtue 2 Glacial Fortress 2 Hallowed Fountain 2 Island 4 Leyline of the Meek 2 Make Disappear 4 March of Otherworldly Light 2 Plains 4 Protect the Negotiators 4 Raise the Alarm 4 Resolute Reinforcements 2 Seachrome Coast 2 Temple Garden 4 Verdant Command 4 Waterlogged Grove 4 Windswept Heath Side board 2 Damping Sphere 2 Rest in Peace 1 Spell Pierce 2 Stony Silence 2 Sundering Growth 2 Unsubstantiate 2 Veil of Summer 2 Void Mirror
Spent 100 dollars, Got 5-0, Instantly gets back 50 dollars from Fury/FoN. Budget magic returning back to $50 dollars in spirit one last time. Honestly best video I've seen in budget magic in awhile. Absolutely crushed it!! BUDGET MAGIC FTW!
Hey man this is the deck I always wanted ever since I was a kid I liked Mana tithe and spectral procession and, to mix it in with these new cards is just great I love it! I'm going to try the deck at a tournament in Rochester New York... with esper Sentinels lol
I'm gonna be stealing half this list so I can build Tokens Ramp. Imagine attacking with, say, three creatures, and then post combat damage but before combat ends cast Settle the Wreckage. Ramp into stuff like Elesh Norn and Iona!
Can I start a petition to change the name of this deck to the Spanish Inquisition deck? Cos no one expects half the things in the deck, let alone the MANA TITHE!!! Love it!!!!!!!!
I can't understand that nobody plays sweepers in modern. In my local meta, we all play some. It is so effective in so many cases ! This deck would be very bad
Seth I want you see you playing rat tribal in modern or the new tribe necron or do mono black necron tron or can you do modern eldrazi re-animator with the biggest boys like pathrazer of ulamog, emrakul, ulamog, kozliek, bane of bala ged and crusher of ulamog and it that betrays and a few others
Rat Tribal sounds sweet! We played a Rat Lock deck a long time ago, but it's probably time to bring it back.www.mtggoldfish.com/articles/against-the-odds-rat-lock-modern
Yeah, the do work pretty well together for sure. Intangible Virtue is slightly awkward in this build just because we have some non-token creatures, but it's still probably good enough. Loxodon does get way better if our tokens have Vigilance, gets around the downside of having to take a turn off of attacking to convoke it into play.
Seth Can you make a non budget token modern deck with the colors of Simic or selesyna (green and white) with token doublers like doubling season for example? And try to get a 5-0 in a modern league? Or do a modern deck that's a mix of soul sisters and tokens with some life gain?
Thank you. I can’t figure out what I was doing wrong. It was never quite fast enough to establish a board before the opponent was already about to win.
We did a version back in 2019, but it's probably time for an update! www.mtggoldfish.com/articles/budget-magic-103-29-tix-mono-white-persist-combo-modern-magic-online
Also for a one mana token maker I've had success with beckon apparition. It's relevant against graveyard decks and makes a one mana flier. Although it's better with fetch lands.
