Seth mentioned how he wished he played MTG in the 1990s. It was pretty sweet. Ice Age, Homelands & Fallen Empires were full of junk, but the whole environment was filled with junk. I only knew one guy who netdecked in my whole city. There's nothing wrong with how Magic is now, but having dozens of opponents who were all just brewing weird junk is something that I miss.

4:20 A 1 mana Creature that burns for 1 on Landfall would actually be really playable in Burn, pushed even if has at least 1 power or if it pings any target instead of just going to face.

I really dig to see 0 rare-deck-videos, please keep em coming.

"Chandra's Incinerator" would be insane in this deck if you don't mind throwing a couple of rares. It'll often cost only one or two mana to cast, especially for this deck. And it's a 6/6 trampler that damages the opponent's creatures and planeswalkers for free as you send burn to face

"A deck cannot have more than one The One Ring." would have fixed a LOT of the problems with the card AND be super flavorful.

this kinda of deck is what keeps me coming back to playing budget decks are what keeps me interested in the game

Grik the goblin ran away and dove behind the rock, whistling and shrieking with merriment. Behind him angry voices grew closer before they were completely drowned out by another magnificent explosion. For the fourteenth time that day, scraps of iron, cloth, and bone fountained into the sky and carpeted the rough land with debris. Some of it splattered, other pieces rebounded with metallic tinging noises. Soon the area grew quiet. Grik peeked out from behind the rock to view his handiwork. He hooted and cackled with glee as he harvested the scraps of metal again, already envisioning the next explosion...

The implement of combustion makes me sad we didn't get Pia's Revolution on Arena (or Walking Ballista) as it was one of my favorite janky decks back in Kaladesh block hahaha. Great deck, Seth, thanks for playing it!

Love all the awesome decks y'all make on this channel!!

As a David that also plays Elves, that game sure hurt

ya know, comparing mill to burn is actually really interesting, like tasha's hideous laughter can be a 2 damage for 3 or sometimes a 7 dmaage for 3

Nice to see some Artisan gameplay on here! I have one idea on how to improve the list while staying on the no rare challenge: I think Gingerbrute is the better cheap artifact over Mishra's Desk because while the desk can draw cards, Light Up the Stage and Synthesizer already cover our hand advantage needs and Gingerbrute adds both some nice chip damage and evasion against lifegain decks.

This did exceptionally well for what is basically something one step from being a Pauper deck. Like makes me wonder if we played with it using stuff in paper and upped that damage if this wouldn't be a fair little 'turn off your brain and burrrnn baby burrrrn". There is a Shrapnel Blast deck I've been wanting to brew around from ye olden times with my Retributive Wands. This might fit in that nicely.

Seeing as you're revisiting an archetype, would you say this is a Blast From the Past? I can't believe its been 4 years, since then. Covid made life feel like time stopped.

Goblin Blast Runner is such a nice card. It’s basically a red delver of secrets for burn deck that can afford some sacrifice strategies. In pauper is a staple of Mono Red Kuldotha, which is one of the tier 1 of the formats!

Hey! Love the content, as always. Budget decks especially are great for newer players to the format :D One slight complaint - your picture-in-picture is slightly too tall, and we can't read the text on triggered/activated abilities on the stack! Fine for veterans, but newer players to the format who aren't intimately familiar with the cards are gonna struggle to follow exactly what's going on. Sorry to be a downer, I really do love your Arena videos!

@6:55 if you just cast the research desk from exile you'll double trigger Swiftspe'ah and get lethal. Cracking the desk was risky if you bricked. Love the content!

love this channel so much and i especially love budget magic keep making amazing content

14:05. Best edit in a long while 😂😂

0:13 When the SaffronOlive intro is said I know it's gonna be a great video (and when it's not said)

Wow, early! Love an MTGGoldfish Seth budget video. Instant click!

if this deck is going to get one rare, some bonecrusher giants would be huge for getting around the one ring

I can't belive I actually remember that galv blast video, was such a fun time

I just built this and it does some serious work. I’m surprised how many cards I was able to draw or impulsive draw. Thanks a bunch!

This deck is everything I love doing in Magic. A lot of players just hate this style deck so much, they often just concede on turn 1 or 2. Great deck for speed running daily missions.

Back when I first started playing magic Arena I had a very similar uncommon/common only deck and it did quite well, though I only played it in unranked queue. I also had an artesian golgari deck using the Carrion Grub Titanoth Rex combo with some uncommon reanimate spells, and in kamigawa I played the ox and plow deck with kaya's onslaught

Historic Artisan content, baybeeeee!

Was this from my bro rooker? That's hype he's got some sweet brews on his channel glad you played something of his!

as the premier pilot of the dimir mill deck in my discord server, I must congratulate you for that first game

Lol me and Seth are like opposite players because I love hitting and face and it’s nice to occasionally durdle

„Maybe you remember the budget artifact blast deck from 2018“ - well, it still is one of my two modern decks 😄 love that deck

28:55 "Burn seems like such a simple deck" while playing the wrong one-drop 😂

39:24 Goblin Broom-Blaster has gotta be my favorite goblin card. Muxus? Never heard of ‘im

12:45 Citadel ONLY works against burn if you've played a Reservoir first... I usually have a bunch of 1-2 CMC removal cards on the deck, with some top deck manipulation included, and it does wonders! Also, I play phyrexian obliterator, which against burn is the bomb.

Yo i played the deck you were talking about from back in the day lol took it to my local FNM and just ran all the decks over with crazy speed =D good times

That Blast-Runner is pretty darn good :)

I've always had a problem with the argument of "mill is inefficient burn." They're definitely two sides of the same archetype but mill functions differently enough to burn that I don't think they're fully comparable. There are two main differences the way I see it. Firstly, the life total remains static unless you do something to it, whereas the deck ticks down by at least 1 card per turn. The deck also starts lower: the life total starts at 20, but the deck really starts at 53 (assuming efficient deck building and no mulligans). Secondly, regaining cards in your deck is significantly harder than regaining life. A burn deck can be shut down relatively effectively by a deck that has many ways of gaining life; a mill deck, by contrast, is a lot harder to interact with. Some cards that put other cards back into the library do exist but they're usually not priority picks unless you're planning to abuse a combo, since most decks aren't capable of removing large portions of libraries and thus it's generally better to focus on cards that get other cards back from the graveyard to your hand/battlefield rather than putting them back into the deck. These two things aren't ultimately that different from burn but in practice it makes a big difference. A burn deck can get a player to 1 life and then run out of gas and still lose, whereas a mill deck that gets the opponent down to a few cards left doesn't need gas, they just need to survive and mandatory draw steps will deal the last few points of "damage" for them. Likewise, it's much harder to offer meaningful challenge to mill decks because they're hard to interact with. Regular good lifegain cards are generally useful since even non-burn decks generally try to win by reducing your life total to 0, meaning that even decks that aren't specced specifically to counter burn decks will often have pieces (either in the main board or the side board) that can make it harder for burn to get there. Mill, on the other hand, hits a different "life" type than the life total and therefore most players won't just naturally have resilience against mill like they might against burn. Short of playing someone using Eldrazi, Gaea's Blessing or Timetwister-like spells, you're basically never going to run into anyone with natural resilience against mill. On the contrary, you will often find yourself against control players who will be extra susceptible to mill because they like to draw extra cards. As a result, even though both mill and burn function as "go face" decks, I think they function differently enough that they shouldn't be compared directly.

This list needs the full playset of implement of combustion. Also, play light up the stage before playing lands to maximize cards.

One very worthwhile add to this deck is Erebor Flamesmith. I've found it adds that extra bit of dmg you need. Wont save you from lifegain, but an extra 1dmg every instant or Sorcery goes a long way.

Sad ichor wellspring can't fit in the deck. I miss the kuldoltha rebirth deck using wellspring to keep the hand filled while also making goblins

Nothin' beats the GARBAGE BAG FULL OF BATTERIES beatdown

Are there artifact mountain lands you can add in to help with the artifact sacrifice? or do you think it is not needed?

Amazing build, congratz to the author

I would say the deck could use a pair of bonecrusher giant for dealing with one ring's fog effect.

0:46 izzet artisan with beamsplitter, kiln fiend, and sprite dragon hits quite hard with the typical izzet spell boost/card draw cards with the red combat tricks. T4 kills abound, and many t3 surrenders.

Great content as always Seth and congratulations @RookerKDog!

Damn, ya beat me to the punch, I was trying to make a common only deck in arena for my yt channel lol

This deck just got me 4 historic wins in a row! All i changed was swapping 1 mtn for another combustion! It works great

Seth picking up CC means CC is real, and he's not just a dog person!! CC Scoops and Bear Scoops when?

this actually reminds me a lot of pauper red decks

+1 for the surprise cat visit

What is fascinating to me is...this is so close to actual Mono Red in Pauper.

When I'm extremely bored I run my historic pauper deck in regular historic. it's definately possible if you have power commons like soul warden etc and a reasonable opening hand.

I kno I am super late to the party on this one, but even in modern it is possible to win with zero or even limited rare cards. Most of the decks I have put together over the years have been predominantly unommons and commons with a rare here and there if it synergizes well. ;)

I've got an artisan mono black list that's been survivable up to low diamond. You can do it for sure.

decided to spend my wildcards on this deck - its pretty damn fun yall

Are there any upgrades? I've played with it a bit and it seems very strong already and I was wondering what upgrades could be.

I was having a really shit day, i really appreciate this upload

I wonder if dragon spark reactor would be worth playing in this

So If I'm correct you'd need to build this in modern to play it in paper? Or no? Just curious.

CC's opinion: You says artifacts... can I's push off shelfs?

This is basically just the current burn build in pauper lol

What are some rares and mythics yourecommand to add?

I know its not a 100% rareless deck (its got one busted mythic that you build around), but the new agatha's soul cauldron izzet deck is pretty good in historic with the right uncommons. If you do it right, you could potentially create an infinite mana/damage loop as soon as turn3.

Sunscorched Desert!

How do you unlock the sleeves he uses?

That’s Pauper Burn!

i go nuts in historic with a pauper deck i made, i hit platinum in historic with all commons in a red aggro deck

Smiles in pauper

I'm not surprised that Artisan Burn punches above its weight class - most of Burn's core cards are commons and uncommons anyway, with the main issue being that you need to build your own card advantage engine instead of just tossing in Chandra or whatever and calling it a day.

Couch Cat!

“You can’t just win without any rares” So anyway, I started blasting

i run an all common historic mono red that wins all the time good for daily challenges

My favorite zero rare deck is azorius toughness matters in explorer. Actually quite competitive in BO1

Man, this deck would be so much better with lurrus is my biggest gripe, don’t even need a super powerful manabase or anything.

Gdi I just lost to this deck today. Then I come to see where it came from lol.

I have a deck with only commons and uncommons (so it’s realllllly budget) it has a ok win rate too

Poor David 😂

I built that artifact blast deck and even today still works very well.

yeah love the new historic no bans they finnaly

Please do some no banlist historic!

Looks a lot like pauper burn haha

Would call in a professional be good against the one ring and to keep the 0 rare budget?

Why no artifact lands?

It reminds pauper mono red

2 elves 1 bolt

Kinda surprised there’s no Tormod’s Crypt in the deck. Very nice graveyard hate but against a deck that doesn’t care for graveyard, it’s a 0 mana artifact to sac to Blast which still triggers Swiftspear.

Maybe a couple of castle embreth should be good?

BOLT THE BIRD 😫

7-4 in 40 min too so it’s time efficient too.

This looks an awful lot like a kuldotha burn or boros synthesizer list from pauper

Had to do a double take back in time and remember..."holy crap, Ramunap Ruins isn't a rare o-0"

pretty funny video

It's rare to see a deck with no rares!

Coincidentally I just played against this deck

i have to many rare and mythical wildcards i can’t make this deck

Did it Last season ...now im Dia 3

From Zilortha to BananaRofl I’m convinced Seth doesn’t know how to pronounce the letter L

I did play in 1996 and you wouldn't recognise the game from what it was.

Now so pauper. I've taken historic pauper kiln fiend to mythic multiple times, so you should be fine
