"We don't have the colors for Atraxa" as he cycles a Jetmir's Garden by sacrificing treasure

Surprised that unlicensed hearse is not in the main deck as a way to exile lands from your graveyard to improve your chances of getting a good spell

Hello everyone it's Seth probably better known as Saffron "He'll tear your soul apart" Olive

I'm pretty sure you punted almost every atraxa. You should be able to select a creature as well as an artifact creature. Multiple times you selected either an artifact or a creature.

forgot the scrap with atraxia at the mid point. You can take an artifact and a creature. So many times. Even if you don't understand the card a blue glowy option means you can select it

Jace was not popular during previews but now it's in quite a lot of decks, and Seth seem to rate it pretty highly.

I built this deck and it is amazing. I have some really good matches under my belt and have found several strategies to win. Mill with Jace, copy a lot of the mirror breaker, beat them to death with creatures, and/or control the field and take their creatures with portal. I made some changes to the deck. I do not like Might Stone and Weak Stone in the deck. More times then not, as in your video, it seems like you are holding it. I switched that for a Nahiri. I feel like she brings more utility to the table, and she can bring back a Hellraiser from the yard to get another activation and damage.

I like this deck because it's almost a weird kinda budget if you've been on Arena for a while. It's like a trade-binder deck in that the one or two-of power cards might already be in your collection from random packs.

If you have an empty graveyard, you could always ult the Jace for mill 15, then have it be the card you Hellraiser back for another mill 15.

I've been playing mono R Hellraiser with Portal and it is so fun. Even when you yank a free removal spell or Koth it still feels real nice. It is just feels good to play, like a slot machine that can kill your opponents, what's not to love? Keeps standard grinding from getting dull.

Played against a Hellraiser deck in explorer when the set first came out and it blew my mind! I think it's a pretty solid card. The fact you made it viable in a set with a significantly less card pool is impressive

Great stuff Seth! Love you man keep up the great content!

37:00 Has nobody mentioned the fact that Seth said a 3/10 chance was 10%?

When I saw hellraiser I tried to make a deck that could control what is brought back, and I think I did pretty good

YOU OPENED THE BOX (of Phyrexia: All Will Be One) AND WE CAME!

.Intro edit game is ON POINT as usual.

I would love to see Seth at the pro tour, playing stuff like this.

The third win was really impressive, I really like the concept of that WG Norn deck, but its incremental value just could not keep up when you got Hellraisers.

I admire you steadfastly sticking by "brother's-hood end"

31:04 reaction was great xD

I had to pause on the first game, because *come on, Seth*. Why did you pitch two lands when you could've pitched a land and The Eternal Wanderer? EDIT: I feel like building around using Capricious Hellraiser's ETB to cheat out big stuff is a bit of a trap (as awesome trap, but still a trap). A 4/4 flyer that recasts an Abrade/Big Score/Reflections for RRR is an absurd midrange card.

well another deck running eternal wanderer means it's time for my favorite drinking game: take a shot every time when farewell would have been a better card to have.

Missed creature off Atraxa at 33:25

An old rock song came to mind while watching this: Raise a Little Hell by the band Trooper :D Hellraiser is 100% gas in the right deck

Man your opening are getting better an better 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

The jund hellraiser list with 4 jund charms and 4 invokes looked interesting

Do you think a combo would work, where we cast Hellraiser for it's reduced cost and with it's ETB trigger on the stack use some instant speed activated ability (or spell) to empty our graveyard of undesirable cards?

Seth just so you can understand how it atraxa works going forward When you get Cityscape leveler and portal to pharexia you can grab them both As cityscape leveler can be your creature and portal feraxia can be your Artifact

Not super familiar w/ the meta in any format much less standard, but i really enjoy Seth's videos. Wondering to what degree Seth's decks + gameplay influence the kinds of decks played

Any chance we could see a historic version of this deck?

I hope one day MtGGoldfish can send Seth to compete in and do a vlog about Infamous Small Japanese Tournament

At the 20ish minute mark, couldn’t you have discarded the cityscape leveler, and then attack for lethal by unearthing it?

It seems there's two forge dergs that are good for a variety of high risk strategy they also kind of work together if you play pure artifact build. Do you think Hellraiser is good with renimator strats like Prototype or is it just too high a chance of a whiff?

Ah the sweetest words in all of Against The Odds history: "SMALL JAPANESE TOURNAMENT" ❤️❤️❤️

Seriously Atraxa should have an Arena special animation!!

Hello. Will you guys be posting any novel budget stuff for this season? Thanks for the cool videos.

"Platinum/Mythic Ranked Player" was Seth all along O.o

Wouldn't Brotherhood's End on the destroy artifacts mode worked well enough in M1G1?

33:28 - Can anyone tell me if there is a reason not to put the mutt into hand for the "Creature" card type?

Is it me, or does Seth never actually stop himself from taking both an artifact and an artifact creature with Atraxa?

At 45:00 you could have also grabbed a portal because leveler is a creature 😔

Is there an effect in all of Magic that gives your spells Delve? There's that enchantment from Ikoria that pseudo-gives delve but that doesn't work with this card I don't think?

Hellraiser + instant speed Delve in Pioneer gives you the best of both worlds, at the cost of a messy decklist

Wohoo challenge unlocked I made a Goldfish video. Too bad I lost 😞

My favorite part was when Seth went “opponent has three cards in hand” when the opponent had four

21:33 What a sad Farewell

Lol that opening

56:03 Seth only draw 4 off Atraxa when he could have drawn 5. Scrapwork Mutt counts as a creature, so he could have drawn the Portal to Phyrexia too. Not sure if it's technically incorrect since Hellraiser cares about graveyard. either way, Arena shows you how many you can choose at the top of the screen

Punt McPunterson at it again

Sure are a lot of folks sprinting to the comments to feel superior over Seth about Atraxa misplays on a video where he 5-0ed Deck looks sweet! I'm a pretty big fan of anything that's running Multiverse, I've been pretty impressed with it

1:05:55 You're gonna WHAT????

still remember when Seth said jace was one of the worst rares in the set LOL

We have such cards to show you...

is there a specific reason why you don't choose an artifact and an artifactCREATURE with the atraxa trigger?

Can you please make a gleeful demolition modern deck

Cool Hellraiser list! But no Arcane Bombardment?

Imagine winning after playing 2 fables on to an empty board 😜

Idk if saf realizes he can take an artifact creature AND artifact with Atraxa? Multiple times he skipped over one or the other

Have you considered muting voices in Arena's setting? Hearing planeswalker lines awkwardly cutting out makes the editor cuts extra obvious.

My heart is bleeding after watch how atraxa resolves

Wizards has printed way too many cheese reanimator effects the last few years.

how does hellraiser work in paper, the random graveyard part seems to force you to shuffle your grave but this action alone feels weird to me, anyone else ?

Here for the real title of raising hell in standard, so sad it got changed lol

SETH! BUDDY! YOU CAN GET LEVELER AND PORTAL!!

Wait, they put Constantine in MTG?

This is a mill deck especially vs control.

Still here to promote monoMountain gruul.

I absolutely LOVE how powerful Atraxa is, even as a one of, after all the hate it got during preview season! Same can be said, to a lesser extent, about Jace. As for game play, you definitely weren’t optimizing your Atraxa picks. And I think your really focusing on Portal to Phyrexia’s killing potential, but over and over again stated that “it doesn’t do much here” and completely forgetting the reanimate ability that works for BOTH graveyards.

Wow Seth, you misplayed even more than usual... :D impressive.

rummage

Impressive that we went from Jace beeing mediocre to cheer to find it.

I hate that they stopped including the secondary number of cards in the normal set-for example 702/300. That is why quit standard-there's no way to tell by looking at a card whether or not it is standard legal. They had never done this in the entire history of magic until just the last couple years and they "wonder why nobody plays standard anymore". -No prize support, no good FNM foils, deleted 25 years of DCI #'s and history for every player on earth, made mythics, made mythics impossible to open in packs to build decks with, banned mythics because they're too good, ignored power creep, built "Challenger decks" to destroy the value of everyones collection and make the format far less creative, removed the complete set booklet from Fat Packs so we don't even know what's in each set, and then added illegal cards to normal packs without including both numbers so that we could tell whether or not it is legal in Standard. I've played since Alpha 1993 GenCon and I'm so upset they deleted my DCI# of 25 years and multiple pro tours. They've ruined magic and even ruined commander which wasn't an easy task. I don't even get excited for new sets anymore or keep track of the 50 thousand plus cards like I used to have memorized because artwork would stay the same. They lost their way of having card art be "Recognizable from accross the room" and they gave up on the LGS and everything that brought the community together. As much as I love magic and it is my career and hobby, I think they deserve to lose to Flesh and Blood and other games that respect their players and community. Sincerely, -Lon Skyler Smith

I think your biggest problem is playing traditional standard instead of best of 1

Dear brother Set, I don't like your dog because it bites and I hate dogs. Second a good video but the deck is way too expensive. I don't 500$ to spend because food is expensive.

the amount of land draw in match 1 game 1 was insane....i swear fhe randomness of arena doesn't work properly.

Meow

Same cards, same games. Not a brew man

First comment?

Have you ever considered not destroying people's ears I'm the first second of the video? It's a pretty consistent nuisance in these videos.

I despise Hellraiser. Not because the card is truly awful, but because it's really mediocre and people seem to unwaveringly think the card can be good. If cast for 3 mana, you're really likely to whiff (on lands, or enablers to fill the graveyard) if cast for six mana, it's really unexciting. Ergo, it's just never really all that good.

(just putting this here: I still hate these kind of intros, I don't find them funny. But I especially dislike them when they star a strident noise like this one) Ok back to the video now :p
