Theres something so comedic about Seth saying "shrine" about 15 times in the deck tech and then opening up the first game with "the deck is full of shrines"

I don't know what's more impressive; The performance of this deck or the fact that Seth pronounced Go-Shintai properly :)

11:16 "That warms my shriney heart" 18:35 "Wine 'em, dine 'em, shrine 'em, shrine 'em"

Sometimes I’m shocked when a coco misses, but then I remember there’s always like a 10-20% chance of a miss and considering they ALWAYS have one if not many cocos, it’s only fair that they miss

It seems like the new cycle of shrines has taken the archetype from a jank pet list to a plausible midrange value pile.

TIL that the art in "Sanctum of All" isn't just a bunch of clouds. thank you introductory video.

"And a win, which is a nice little bonus." Never change, Seth.

1:11:40 "5 color kamagialmaneon destiny shrines" is quite a deck name

1:11:35 The way seth said kamigawa neon dynasty killed me 🤣🤣

I would love to see a standard shrine deck with mirror box!

1:07:19 That reaction to barely winning against Arclight was so wholesome, haha

I been running Shrines Historic in Arena for a while and the additional cards from Kamigawa just cemented the deck as being amazing. Now we just need the new shrine commander added so we can do Historic Brawl the way it is meant to be.

Felt like Seth almost never wanted to get stone fangs when that drain would help stabilize and progress towards winning.

I'm afraid that if we kill our opponents creature they might scoop. Yes, it would be awful to win the game....

I'd love to see some sort of mirror box shrine shenanigans. Having multiple sanctum of alls to give even more extra procs seems hilarious.

I think targeting the Mayhem devil made the opponent start saccing for maximum damage, making them realize they had lethal

Oh Seth, there is no weak Shrine. That white one has carried me through many a games.

Themed decks always fascinate me. Ever since I've started playing MTG when Ice Age came out, I've noticed some cards that somehow share a name, type, similar ability despite the color - then you'd think of making a deck out of that trait that's shared by the cards. This channels brings both nostalgia (since I'm a player from the old age) and awe (seeing the cards today). I quit playing during the Tempest saga but still checked out the MTG lore from time to time, and whatever powerful cards that came out during an expansion and how the card is related to the whole story/lore. I've also seen cards with unfamiliar card mechanics that are a bit complicated for newbies or those who stopped playing a long time ago.

Seth : "We don't activate mill shrine" Also seth : "You know what ..." xD

I think the Innistrad slow lands would have been better than the pathway, you dont have a 1 drop to play anyway if you have some in your opening

That deck tech is exactly how I like my deck techs.

At 49:25, if they're gonna let you get to your turn you should have stacked the lifegain to go first. There's the off chance they would have let that trigger resolve since they responded to you targeting the Mayhem Devil. They still had lethal, but you could have given them more ways to mess it up. :D

I feel like that was the first two minutes deck tech I've ever fully encountered. It was beautiful

I think it maybe be some insanity, but this list could work with jeskai ascendancy, generating a ton of mana with weaver, and growing your man-shrines, specially cuz its protected by the sterling groves.

I think you conceded too early at 58:45. Yes they are killing one shrine, but if you tap three creatures in response you should be able to survive this turn, then it's a matter of if you're able to do enough to survive the next turn.

I love that there are still surprises with every set. Amazing video!

31:09, I think you could have come back there. Sanctum of all gives you access to a lot of options. New white shrine gives you blockers, stone fangs would have given you life. I think you could have done it.

I play a lot of shrines and not seeing the shroud icon on your Enchantments really tripped me up

I love enchantress decks and loved this episode, thanks for doing it!

shrines triggering on endstep is worse with sanctum FYI. When sanctum searches and put it on the battlefield that shrine triggers immediately 4:01

The 1 drop white shrine is one of the best. I allows tempo play and as the shrines stack up it can tap down multiple threats.

As soon as the first shrines we're revealed, I have been waiting for this episode

This looked amazingly fun!

Seth is probably better known as " Seth, probably better known as Saffron Olive"

Don't forget with Sterling Grove out you can't put counters on your shrines.

I feel like the shrines being creatures is generally great upside even with the downside of being easy to remove. 1. It gives what used to be a deck with basically no blockers or attackers creatures that synergize *perfectly* with the rest of the deck 2. Because they are still also enchantments, they're protected by Sterling Grove the same as your Enchantress shell pieces 3. Because they're so much easier to remove, their abilities are really pushed. As you found out here. Turns out, them being creatures means that they fill a gap in the shrine archetype. In retrospect it's not that surprising?

Opponent at 12, 256 life and 14 cards in hand, and not surprisingly wins. Seth: "Sooooooooooooooooooo close!!!

Shrine on you crazy olive.

31:08 You could have survived with the white go-shintai. But then I realized... it's not in your deck! You missed a shrine!!!!!!

we need mirror box shrines seth

Shrine, shrine, everywhere a shrine…

Seth's voice and enunciation just makes me happy :)

Jodah The Unifier is a great additon to the shrine deck. Cascading shrines is absolutely dirty

I wonder if this deck wants more control/tempo cards, like more cheap removal. The only way you ever lost was by getting run over early before you could get enough shrines down. That's why the tap-down shrine and the NEO 0/4 flying blocker shrine seemed unexpectedly good here.

15:27 "And a win, which is a nice little bonus" 😅

I've played a lot of historic where every now and then you'll see a shrines player. It's a deck that can do quite well if your opponent doesn't have enchantment removal, but is typically super weak if they do. Given that they were showing up often enough, I actually started running Devastating Mastery (destroy all nonland permanents, as cheap as 4 if you don't mind letting them bounce 2) in a lot of my Wx control decks just to get the auto-win.

this is what I been wanting!!!!!!

When you play hanky decks and are having a blast is when the videos are the best.

I love anything enchantress based. This deck was sweet.

the white honden absolutely carried in Game 3 of Match 3 (vs the Rakdos Oni-Cult deck). The incidental lifegain helped keep you alive for sooooo long vs the chip damage they were trying to kill you with.

I think what may make this deck come together is mox amber + a couple more creature shrines since they are legendary. The mox might push it one turn faster.

I see you have learned the power of the Sanctum of Tranquil Light. Good. Good.

After a few tries, I can confidently say that Jukai Naturalist is an excellent addition to this deck :D

Excellent introduction.

I love seeing shrines do well, cuz I'm a very casual player who really enjoys playing the janky mythos of snapdax.

Seth's t-shirt game is always on point.

Another awesome build from Syth, probably better known as Saffronolive

Prior to Neo I had been playing shrines in historic with Hallowed Haubting

I made a weird legacy shrine deck where I just looted a bunch then the wincon was mizzix mastery target replenish or just casting replenish bringing back all my shrines. It was a weird idea and was pretty funky but it wasn’t super bad

Where is that beginning scene from, with the singing and camera panning over the town?

I swear, Seth's openings are like Casey Casum covering a fatal car crash while running nails over a chalkboard.

Around 1:11:35 is one of the best Seth mispronunciations in a hot minute.

I really want to try this deck but with Mirror Box to bypass all the legendary limits and a Jegantha companion to help with the 5-color ramp. Just imagine having 4 copies of Sanctum of All on the board - which can tutor each other. I love legend rule jank like Helm of the Host so Mirror Box is a card made for me.

i wonder if there's enough good shrines to make a competitive version that's not playing literally all of them. enough shrines so the effects are good. but still allowing for other good cards to exist as well

Mirror Box in this deck seems fun.

Mirror Box shrines could also be fun.

“Someday I’ll make a compilation of CoCo whiffs.” You mean your own?🤣🤣🤣 Anyway, can’t wait for that.

My buddy has a 5-color shrine EDH deck. It's obscenely powerful unless he doesn't get the lands he needs.

Most Magic players: Hell yea, my deck's doing great. Seth: My opponents keep scooping :(

The good thing this is, its kinda a toolbox deck with sanctum of all now, there are so much options you can get out of most situations.

I enjoy playing a shrine deck I have a historic one and a historic brawler but I don’t use Hoden of the seeing winds Because if you don’t pay attention you can mill yourself out

“Im afraid if im gonna kill trelasara, my opponent is going to scoop”. Strategic gaming at its finest!

If you were to substitute one card for the commander Go-Shintai, which one would be?

I think a copy or two of mirror box would've been funny, just so sanctum of all can grab another copy of itself

I had to blink a couple times to make sure I was seeing right when your sanctum weavers tapped for 10+ mana a piece. I guess I gotta start believing in the shrines more

Im not sure if I am missing something here, but when you scooped it up at 59:00 from them killing your creature, couldnt you have responded to them by tapping down three of their 4 creatures letting you live another turn?

26:57 I feel this so hard lol

I've actually adapted this to be a modern deck, so far my records have been 3-1, and 2-2, going for the 3rd time tonight.

Should try this In modern my wife would love to play it shes a fan of the shrine archetype

Is a couple copies of weaver of harmony worth trying in here?

What would you substitue for the Shrine Commander Go-Shintai of Life's Origin for a casual kitchen tabel deck? and how many would you include?

Anyone notice at 49:00 the opponent missed lethal? Swing with everything (7) sac the goat (2) sac the cat (2) sac the food to revive the cat (2) sac the cat again (2) sac one of the mayhem devils (1) 7+2+2+2+2+1=16, perfect lethal. They messed it up by killing the sanctum weaver, but he gged anyways.

19:44 Why not use the Grove to tutor for a mana producing Shrine?

Really want Seth to play the Shrine Commander deck in Clash this week...

There's 18 shrines. 6 Go-Shintai, 6 Sanctum, 5 Honden and 1 Shrine token.

I'd get massacre as well and maybe shove in the curse which makes opponents discard but I love my board wipes. Can't live without 'em. Maybe include the 6-mana Green/Black card which destroys a land, a creature, a planeswalker and enhancement, which name I can never remember.

New computer or something? This seems a lot smoother than usual.

Ooo! Shriney

I'm wondering how good it would be to play just the best shrines and mirror box

I wish I could run weird decks like this x-x Every deck is so expensive

58:09 please, Seth! Stop! Early! Scooping!!!!!

Aaaahhhh, shrined ‘em!

my shrine deck runs hall of mirrors i like to get like 3 or 4 sancttums out by turn 5 or 6, it gets ridiculous quickly

Mhmm! A video opening up with some Gregorian Chant! Yes Please!!! Like already sent!

Seth asking if a kaheera deck was 5c niv was great

“I didn’t think it through, I was focused on drawing as many cards as possible” is the most SaffronOlive thing I’ve ever heard

The opponent in match 2 must think you're cheating: the one time you milled, you hit Omnath.

Love how we now get to here random bear noises in the background.

I feel like putting in mirror box could really help main deck. At least 2-3 of.

finaly a shrine deck
