Protecting from Everything | Progenitus | Modern | Against the Odds 

That Wild Nacatal / Stone Forge / Boros Charm deck felt like the living embodiment of "33% of the time it works every time"

30:00 Seth actually feels that Boros Charm through his computer

Opponent on Naya Zooburnponza was playing the real against the odds

Every time someone resolves a veil of summer, a part of Crim dies.

30:12 Next week “Against the Odds - Naya Zoo Burn Ponza with Stoneforge Mystic”

Match 2 game three when seth was so giddy about swinging in with progen and the elf only to come to the horrific and sudden realization that deflecting palm could be in his op's sideboard had me cracking tf up. I was in tears at how utterly terrified he sounded

"Boy Veil of Summer us a messed up Magic card" -Seth, while using it to full effect.

Damn.. that second opponent, the way seth was shaking... I was fully expecting opponent to go double manamorphose into cryptic

Shoutout to the "pile of cards" deck. I love building unpredictable shit like that.

I love how Seth gets mad when a jank deck that is not his actually gets good draws

"What kinda of magic cards do you want in your deck?" Round 2 opponent: "yes"

Game 2 reminded me of the story of the worlds best chess player playing a computer designed to beat him. During the game, the computer made a seemingly random move that drove the chess champion nuts as he tried to determine why it would make the move. He was so puzzled by the move he began to believe it was a conglomerate of humans playing against him to outsmart him, not a computer. Turns out it was just a bad move as a result of a coding error.

Who else wants to see the deck list of the opponent match 2?

I think this might be the first time someone beat Seth at his own show with that naya *gestures vaguely* deck

30:06 "Waddaya got, opponent... OOOOOHHH, OOOHH, OH...." Me: That, was hilarious 😂

Boros Charm, Destroyer of Seth

Game two is pure entertainment in this crisis. Thanks Seth for lifting my spirits and actually making me laugh. Now play that card binder deck next week! That would be funny. Come on I know you want to.

Ok, the second match was priceless, just watching Seth go insane trying to understand what his opponent was doing

I laughed so hard watching the Random Deck match.

Naya Pile is my new favorite modern sleeper.

I’ve been going through a really terrible time with everything and other things, but this video is a wonderful and hilarious (boros charm) distraction. Love your content!

Send that guy a T-shirt: "I made Seth quit magic."

Seth? How could you not tell? Op in game 2 was CLEARLY on naya zoo ponza burn midrange storm. Its a VERY well known archetype.

“Here comes Daddy!” -Bearded Fish guy

"If opponent topdeck's a boros charm, I might just quit magic" -🤣🤣🤣

Match 2 opponent Living the Against the Odds lifestyle.

Everything about that top-decked Boros Charm was A+ content. I was laughing my ass off.

Our opponent is refusing to die nicely 😂

"If opponent top decks Boros Charm, I quit magic". Oh well! It lasted so long. We will miss you Seth.

Progenitus is just a big True Name Nemesis :(

"If opponent plays Boros Charm I might just quit magic." MtgGods: "It is time!"

I always forget that Veil of Summer isn't banned in every format. What were they thinking?

Boy did I laugh at the naya match, i'm in tears

You can hear Seth's fear and pain in every syllable of amulet.

Someone should play "F Blue.dec", 4 Choke/4 Boil/4 Veil of Summer

Seth's giddy laughing is everything i need while stuck at home.

Seth going back to trolling us all with his pronunciation of amulet. I'm with it.

This was amazing to watching, loved it so much. Fighting through counters and a mash up of what lol the best and more.

That thumbnail is art. Ilharg and Progenitus struttin' in singing Hakuna Matata is *chef's kiss*

Progenitus: I am an indestructible god. Pack Rat: RATS. WE'RE RATS. WEEEE'RE THE RATS.

Thank you for the video. I'm a little sad stuck at home and had great news that there was a new video from you to watch. You're a hero!

That Nya Singles deck was wild. Lost it at the called shot Boros Charm. Then wincing at every worse possible outcome.

I feel kinda bad for Progenitus. It was supposed to be this giant super boss creature and got so powercrept by the Eldrazi it barely deserves a mention in decks that try to cheat those kinds of creatures. He's a cool commander, tho'. Oh, and that Naya Pile deck was super cool, such a jumble of cards, I couldn't stop laughing.

Murphy's Law said it best, "Professional soldiers are predictable; the world is full of dangerous amateurs"

I keep rewinding to when Safron realizes the other guy could play deflecting palm and I’m dying every time 😂😂

Super sweet idea for the deck and great video As always Seth!

So glad to see the all counter bullsheit deck implode.

That first match is a good demonstration why Veil of Summer is a necessary card. Blue is pretty much unbeatable with all the low cost counters, and green needs a way to fight through them

Oh my goodness that boros charm player absolutely baffled me. Absolutely loved that moment tho, amazing call by Seth.

I'm really glad that the novelty of pioneer has worn off a bit and we're back to semi-regular modern brews.

(0:00) Part of me is wondering if Spawnsire of Ulamog is bugged (and to a much lesser extent if The Unspeakable is bugged, despite having a fairly straightforward ability and there being plenty cards that also return a single card of a certain type each time from graveyard to hand, that are clearly not bugged). But yes mostly wondering if Spawnsire of Ulamog is bugged. And therefore choosing to go with the most "thematically similar type of card/s" and that being Progenitus, which other than being very coloured is kind of "big powerful with weird and wonderful abilities Eldrazi-like". . [My vote was The Unspeakable, it just fit my criteria for what to choose best. Being older and generally unplayed since the beginning definitely was a factor in my consideration. If Spawnsire were as old as Unspeakable (for example), then I think my choice would have been more closely contested. [Edit] Also sometimes I forget Against The Odds tends to be "four ofs". Even if that is clunky and less than ideal or perfect deck building. Mind you A deck with The Unspeakable as a "four of" is probably also weird and clunky and perhaps overly represented compared to if there were to be three or maybe even two copies of it hypothetically instead.

55:10 Since you know Klothys is on top (from Aether Gust), this was another opportunity to use a draw step stop for value. Klothys's trigger happens at beginning of precombat main, so you can get it a turn earlier than normal by Quicksilver Amulet'ing it during your draw step. (In fact, Klothys is a reason to have a draw step stop in general for this configuration, just in case you randomly draw her while Amulet's out.)

is there an augment to split quicksilver amulet with thran temporal gateway to protect against surgical?

17:48 well of course you it made you like veil of summer Seth, YOU were the one casting it! Lol

46:35 Mickey Mouse complaining about counterspells?

Do the other deck too! The eldrazi one seemed super cool 👌

Progenitus here, probably better known as PRO-GEE-NITE-US

Cool games thanks!

Ok who does the art for these videos? they are so good.

Noooo Seth! 45:11 you could've used klothys to exile a land from yard to play Atarka instead of scooping 😭😭😭 don't know how much good it would have done in the end, but maybe it would have been enough!

That Naya Bloodbraid list is similar to mine and I do pretty well with it at my LGS and GP side events. I think of as a more efficient burn list

The thumnail killed me hahahaha I love it

Imagine all these people this salty over free entertainment in a pandemic lol. Loved the video man, laughed my face off at the Naya match. Well played not taking the bait and waiting til they dropped Liliana in the Golgari match, that was a good read. Thanks for the smiles in tough times Seth :)

nothing better than watching your opponent getting wrapped up and squeezed up by Progenitus

Reminds me of the deck I built when he first came out. Turn 3 eot dramatic entrance, extend hand shake.

That naya zoo match was hilarious.

You know an episode of against-the-odds is going to be good when I immediately just start cracking up laughing uncontrollably at the thumbnail

I feel like board the weather light would’ve been really solid for time of need as it hits amulet too

What’s the upside of progenitus vs emrakul? There’s no dramatic entrance which would favor progenitus.

Great games. Some odd stuff was happening at the end with the wrap-up though.

I actually really liked Naya Pile, seemed pretty good. I'm guessing the Stone Rain was sideboard tech against Tron?

Nice :). Why not eldrami when opp had one tpped breeding pool

Pile decks are great because half the time they dont work at all, but every now and then there are "perfect storm" games where you just have every possible answer you need at exactly the right time and you're just untouchable.

I like how the sidebar decklist just can't handle the awesomeness of Progenitus.

The soul of the world has returned...

“Against the odds: Godzilla tribal” when?

In the inevitable montage that marks Seth's entry into the MTG hall of fame, I hope 29:54 makes it in.

If Sigarda gives protections from sacrifice. Shouldn't progenitus not be sacrificable from purphorous?

What is up with the end of the video?

That Boros Charm hit Seth in real life

Really wish Seth got a deck list from the Naya Zoo burn stoneforge Stone Rain BOP BBE deck

If he plays a Boros Charm, I'm quitting magic. - Seth circa 2020

At 27ish mins, should the Eladamri's Call been able to search for the Klothis? I thought it didn't count as a creature when its in your deck, I must be confused.

Deflecting palm! Oh no!

If Op. attack with the stoneforge. He would have letal damage in the backswing after the board make progenitus enter the bf. He can play Batterskull and block the board.

Seth please, I beg of you, play that match 2 deck on against the odds

That naya deck 👍👍👌👌😂😂

"opponent is just playing a pile of magic cards" - time of needs progenitus 5mins earlyer...

Wow, I would've never realized that quicksilver amulet would be an effective way to put a progenitus into play in modern. If you think the deck needs more of that effect I would consider thran's temporal gateway.

Match 2 was absolutely hilarious. I'm wondering if they were on some kind of transformative sideboard plan... maybe? Possibly?

Just curious from the end of match 1, you said you wanted a Choke? Isn't that a nonbo with B Moon?

37:50 doesn't topdeck land just let you hard-cast Gisela?

So if two creatures have protection from the other they couldn’t even block eachother? So a sword doesn’t stop progenitus?

Why not drammatic entrance too??

Pretty sure that guy just gatherer'd "Modern RGW" and put in the top results. The deck still somehow looks awesome though.

Please tell me Dramatic Entrance (scryfall.com/card/shm/111/dramatic-entrance) was at least tested.

Hmm.. No summoning trap? Seems like it would be a good fit for a deck like this.

1:02:40 Seth talks like the old Godzilla dubs to subtly give his support of the new Ikoria card alters

funny, if I'm not mistaken, if opponent did end up having deflecting palm, you actually could have fizzled it by quicksilvering your other progenitus into play and burying the attacking progenitus lol

The correct way to cast Progenitus is with a forest enchanted with 4 utopia sprawls (1 for each colour) and an arbor elf
