Nothing makes me happier than seeing a lotus field player salt scoop.

55:10 Not yelling, just here to educate people: yes, you CAN target your 1/1army with a bowmasters trigger. It will be a 2/2 with 1 damage assigned to it. The explanation is state based actions aren't checked during a trigger that is being resolved, only before and after, so the army would be a 1/1 with a damage assigned to it and then get the counter before state based actions are checked.

34:27 Seth blissfully unaware of how lucky he was to dodge the three endurances in his opponents deck

Opponent: *plays Blood Moon* Seth: You dare use my own spells against me?

23:42 i like how casting the dark rituals here is basically the same as if you had just exiled them to the march

Opponent #2 was truly a class act, letting Seth go off when its clear it's over

23:30 - You live dangerously, Seth. If they had another Bow Master in hand they could've sniped you during their upkeep. That was more mill than you needed.

I think fewer Arena zoomers would hate mill so much if Tutelage wasn't absolutely heinous in the app Takes forever to aim its triggers and longer to resolve them, you can FEEL the salt building lmao

Turbo tutage is back? And even more Turbo!???! I built both your Sphinx's tutelage in Standard and your Teferi's tutelage on Arena back in the day.

1:09:00 Seth, active player, nonactive player. Your triggers go on the stack first, opponent's resolve first.

The Teferi control player would salt out.

The best part of these videos is when Seth plays some rogue version of a deck. "Wait are we beating Show and Tell? Is this deck good?" Meanwhile opponent is playing some janky sneak attack deck that just happens to also play show and tell.

55:10 Creatures dying due to marked damage is a state based action. (Or dying from having 0 toughness or hit with deathtouch.) Which are not checked in the middle of resolving an ability. Only when priority gets passed around. The army will for a moment have 1 damage and 1 toughness but by the time you check state based action it will already have a toughness of 2. This timing is also important for creatures with toughness based on cards in hand while wheeling or based on (creature) cards in graveyard while resolving Living End. This also means when you hit a Sheoldred with (Expansion/)Explosion she will live just long enough to watch you draw all those cards and hurt you. Decree of Pain is fine though. Since the instruction for destroying something is to put it into the graveyard from the battlefield, she will have already left the battlefield by the time you draw. Shatter the Sky is not fine with Sheoldred because of the order of the instructions on the card.

This seems like a good home for the new Tamiyo. If you draw half your deck you win.

Not 100% sure, but I'm pretty sure you can ping the bowmaster token, and it won't die because the ability resolves fully and amazes before state based actions take effect to kill the token

Alright alright I get it Seth, you've convinced me to build a blue black mill deck.

"Turn a weakness into a strength!" . . . . . . . . -Darkwing Duck

At 55:10, you should be able to hit the orc army. Dying from having 0 toughness is a state based action, so it won't be checked until after the trigger has been resolved entirely. Orc army is set to 0-> orc army +1/+1-> orc army lives.

Maybe not go down to 1 at 23:50 just in case they up keep flash in Bowmasters

Poor jub77 you know he had to be a little angry at himself evoking a grief after either forgetting the protection or thinking turning it into an Elk turned that off.

To combat Leyline of Sanctity, maybe play a 3-3 split of the tutelage effects? While Tefari's gives you the ETB loot effect, Psychic Corrosion does not target ("each opponent" instead of "target opponent").

Now I want to build Zur the Enchanter with this combo.

i had a crab mill deck running teferi's tutelage, fraying sanity and the one ring, along with glimpse the unthinkable. Reliably mills the opponent by turns 5-8 if I remember correctly. Glad to see tutelage get some play on this channel

That explanation of how to build a blood moon mana base was perfect! I've been wondering how to make a blood moon deck after trying and falling a couple times

Sphinx tutelage, curse of the bloody tome and Talrand with cheap cantrips was my go to deck when I first started playing

Kinda funny to see Seth go all-in on One Ring and Sheoldred, since he frequently dunks on how busted they are, and tends to avoid playing them since he wants to win on jank and merit rather than busted cards. 4 Necrodominance, 4 One Ring, 3 Sheoldred. Boy, I hope we win!

Now THIS is podracing

Love this deck. Excited to port it over to Modern.

The Sphinxs Tutelage turbo fog deck from.. ~2015 was the first modern deck I built. I hadn't been playing MtG for very long at the time I saw that video, but it was instantly my favourite. Lol

15:34 nice of you to find opp's memory deluges for them

I remember that have always loved your videos helped keep me in magic when I don't have the community around me

Built something similar and I used beseech for tutelage numbers 5-8 since it gets both sides of the combo and also gets Shelly and TOR

Hey Seth! Against the Blood Moon deck you can actually target the orc army at 1/1. I've tried it before on Arena and it seems like the two abilities need to resolve before the death trigger would take effect. It would be a 2/1 after damage and would reset to 2/2 on end of turn.

Sphinx’s Tutelage, my love.

How do you feel about Fraying Sanity over Psychic Corrosion? You don't get the triggers off Necro, but it seems functionally the same and makes Tutelage stronger without needing to full send with Necro.

This feels like the type of deck that the second anyone else tries, they immediately go 0-5 despite playing it 50% more optimally.

Bowmasters, sheoldred, and the one ring. Those cards are so cracked it's crazy

Could this deck use inquisition of kozilek instead of thoughtsieze? Idk I feel like the two life matters here

seth! would you ever consider thought distortion against control in a dark ritual deck, 6 mana is steep in timeless but its such a house against control decks, love the content as always ❤

Would have been really funny if op in the second match game 1 had the 3rd bow masters in hand to kill you on their upkeep

57:00 reminder that your blood moon deck needs mountains now or the new flood moon merfolk will lock you out.

42:02 Was there a reason to not put in Teferi's Tutelage instead of the land?

All spicy brews this week. Luv it

This reminds me of the turbo fog deck from a while ago

Way back when I played a deck sort of like this in standard with tutelage and Rielle the everwise

Seth, if you let him stifle your fetch land then he’s not using the stifle on his lotus field, so it’s like instead of him getting a one mana stone rain it’s like you’re getting a negative one mana double stone rain.

38:50 The amount of lands drawn so far this game is insane.

Having recently swapped from corrosion to tutleage for the loot effect - I ran into some interesting differences, tefer's tutelage targets - so one ring and protection effects guard against it - corrosion doesn't target. Also corrosion is a bit better for multiplayer - just thought i'd point these out, because at first i thought Tef Tut was strictly better - but it's not the case.

54:57 Plays into chalice, gets distracted by 1 damage amass + 1damage amass, makes plan to play march into chalice on 1, keeps a bunch of 1 mana spells to end the turn MTG Goldfish indeed

9:15 one ring first you have two and if it resolve it protect your hand anyway

would this combo work with ashiok, wicket manipulator? then instead of paying life for the necro, you can just exile cards from your library to mill two cards from the opponents.

Jace "if i draw a card with an empty library, i win instead of losing" Portral of thran "Pay 4, flash in a historic card"

Dont forget Sheoldred plus Necro and Tutelage makes your opponent lose 4 life every time you activate the Necro. You should win prior to the mill out.

The early scoop is an act of self-love and you need never apologize for it ❤

This deck makes me happy

I forgot to make this comment on ur phyrexian obliterator deck but I thought it would work well with either the many green my monster fights ur monster spells or with the pariah card that if I remember correctly says all damage to u is directed at enchanted creature

Hey Seth, probably better known as SaffronOlive! vs Sneak and Show in the post-sideboard game, opponent put Sneak Attack into play with Show and Tell. Why didn't you put Teferi's Tutelage into play instead of a land?

The round he hit every land in his deck with card draw

With all that mill, I think Pithing Needle is better than it looks in your sideboard.

i want an against the odds with this idea but you can only use looting effects like a red blue loot deck. I image it would be much harder.

I gotta ask, who does the art for the thumbnails? Theyre always so charming.

I think this combo could be made even better with Ashiok, Wicked Manipulator He allows you to not lose life and just exile cards so you could pay more than your life total for Necro and mill out the opponent before you mill yourself

15:00 without condoning nor condemning, I understand

Maybe add locust god to the deck to make a swarm of flying goblins? And/or add cards that allow you yo have no max hand size to the deck as well

Could you play this in modern?

How many times have I heard Seth say "Wait, is this deck actually good?"

27:22 should’ve just played the Ring here. Buy yourself a turn and some card-draw. If he could’ve countered the Ring, he would’ve also been able to counter March.

I would switch to more Corrosion and less Tutelage. Yes, you lose the loot on ETB, but it doesn't target and this gets around Leyline of Sanctity and Metropolis Reformer effects.

Sorry im a bit new to magic, but wouldnt pithing needle work naming bowmasters to not deal with the pings?

We need sphynx's tutelage. I miss that card

"You cant Stifle losing the game" bruh lmao

i would have scooped in game two against control too, i value my own sanity more than the win.

Yay back to arena heck yeah!

Turn 2 is best possible win with perfect cards 4 dark rituals 1 blue black land 1 shelderd turn 1 3 dark rituals then sheldered then necrodomance gain a lot of life turn 2 win.

The lotus field match id of played the one ring first since you have 2 of them

It’s honestly so boring watching this format when every game against black revolves around sheoldred and bow masters.

What kind of queues are you playing in to run into that prison pile that bloodmooned themself

Seth calling sneak and show a spicy deck lol

THE ORC DOES NOT DIE WHEN YOU PING IT #yelledat

Good Morning ☀️

i was part of the team that built the forst sphinx tutelage deck back in origina it holds a special place in my heart. seth there was a deck variant that never really caught on bc jeskai black aggro was really good but if you had jeskai ascendancy and noyan dar in play when you cast your non creature spells you would loot from ascendancy it triggered tutelage and it would untap your creatures. well noyan dar turned all your lands into creatures each time you cast a non creature spell and that would let you go infinite if you can tripped your way thru your library. the deck was also jeskai black i wosh i still had it sleeved for the exact list but the slots were essentially the izzet tutelage deck with noyan dar, ascendancy, utter end , bunch of cantrip spells and tempo cards.... we just need noyan dar on arena to recreate it 😅

Games start @ 4:35

I'm surprised no Archive Trap in sideboard.

54:59 lol

I don't think you're legally allowed to salt rope if you're playing lotus field.

Can't help but point out that Seth's last video stated only casuals play mill decks ....

dark ritual is a great card but personally i'd side it out more

There really should be some way for Wizards to punish control players who salty rope.

Huh. I wonder how well Teferi's Tutelage works with a bunch of wheel effects.

I miss the days of modern and legacy SaffronOlive videos

seems like the deck abbreviates to TNT for a reason

9:34 Tron+ You mean… Megatron?

9:14 i mean, that was obvious, wasn't it? 🤣

I use the new tamiyo in mill lol

The salt must flow.

Nothing in the board to fight Gaea's Blessing-type effects? I know they can be somewhat rare, but it's also an auto-lose a lot of times

great video, really like the deck. just got to the leyline of sancteti part. and have some thoughts. the deck as is, have 2 to 3 ish ways out of a leyline, sheoldred, Psychic Corrosion, and combat damage. sheoldred and Psychic Corrosion, both don target, but instead say "they lose 2 life" or "each opponent" both of which again, isnt targeting. of course combat damage can also work. one addition to the deck that also could help in such situations, would be feed the swarm, as its the only black spell that can directly remove enchantments. otherwise, great video, do really like the deck, looks like fun, even though its playing 3 diffrent kinds of busted cards.

27:30 why waiting for your opponant turn if you are always going to kill the bow boii just kill him dont take the chance they have counter spell it also save you one health? Sometime you dont have to play instant at instant speed. Also why the black Flare it look real bad in your deck the only sac foder you have is bow boii woulud not drow in the loch be better since you are milling? anyway love the vid sorry for the backsit gaming

Arenas super janky but it almost gives validation to know Iam not the only one getting rigged out lol

Oh damn, what a bitch-ass combo. Love it.
