Seth has become Crim, player of Leyline

1:57 “hopefully our opponent is trying to Scam us.” Opponent has Lurrus as companion. Grief and Fury aint comin

"Should have played some basics!" Hahaha dying rn

4:25 you wouldn't lose the phelia thanks to first strike

Put some respect on his name. That is DOCTOR Amish Goat, thank you very much.

Janking out Mythic "#69" with a Leyline of Sanctity was pure bliss.

4:28 Ya forgot how double blocking works when one of your creatures has first strike! That Phelia was never in any danger at all!!

Those games where Winter Moon felt like a Thalia without the 2/1 First Strike were pretty eye opening

Would you ever consider revisiting old decks? The very first deck you made that I absolutely fell in love with was the brain in the jar zombies deck and a lot of that is available on arena.

The Mythic 59 player shame scooping on turn two was AMAZING!

Its not cat Jesus, but Aven Mindcensor is in the format

Always a good day when we get more Instructor Seth

Loved the Bear stories!

watching seth target the fable which he can block instead of the grief in that board state at 19:20

Getting "Aether Vile" and "Leonen Arbitor" on Arena would be fantastic.

As much as I hate The One Ring, I think it's better to replace the Winter Moons with The One Ring for card draw. Most of the games you lost were due to a lack of card advantage after a successful early game.

12:40 Bear is precious, and he needs to cuddle with the goats.

This seems like a really good Sam / ghost quarter deck. Maybe with baubles too, perhaps a slightly better engine than thrabs

After seeing Crim and now this video, it almost seems optimal to always have 4 Leyline of Sanctity in a Timeless deck, even if they're off colour. At least in Bo1.

My favorite Phelia combo is The Princess Takes Flight, exiling an opponent's card, then when it comes back to your turn, gives Phelia flying and +2/+2 to hopefully swing over their creatures, rinse repeat

This looks like a fun deck. If you're having mana flood problems, cut 4 lands and throw in 4 Witch Enchanters, the 4cmc 2/2 that moonlights as a land

overall winter moon while it may have slowed things down, didn't really win any games there. If you're looking for alternatives, given how you wound up losing typically - main suggestions would probably be: - archivist of Oghma: draws you cards when ever an opponent cracks a fetch. Not the most consistent, but does still provide some opposition to the fetches. Better than nothing. - one ring: best card draw option we have here. Can buy a turn as well. - ghostly prison: Won't address the card draw issue, but fits with the stax theme more, especially once you got yourself bunkered down with leyline.

When do we get Against the Odds: Freerunning Assassins? The only reason that trash is in Modern is for you, Seth!

@35:21 It does matter which one you exile first. The opponent gains more life when you exile the scourge first. You gave him 3 extra life.

If winter moon said "nonbasics enter tapped" as well it could be good bc then they couldn't have mana from nonbasics or fetches on the turn they played them. Essentially, the card does a thing, but has no text that forces that thing. A lot of generically good cards, like guide of souls for example, do a thing and have a payoff for the thing it does that can be reached in a timely manner. Guide of Souls makes energy AND gives you a way to use energy in a timely manner. Winter moon limits your opponents' land untaps, but DOES NOT give you a way to tap or guarantee that your opponents' lands will be tapped in a timely manner, which would need to be the turn they are played in a format like timeless where everything is a fairly low mana cost.

Loved the goats and dog story lol pets are amazing ❤

Crim would be so proud to see you play this. He loves having all of the fun in a game

4:25 First strike damage will still happen first…

I think the only reason winter moon sucked so bad was the nonbo with the white orchid phantom. It still might not be good. But that definitely made it look worse.

Always happy to hear more stories about Bear :) The deck was also fun to watch - though almost definitely not as fun to play against.

"its got the best art out of any card in our hand" 😆😂🤣

This budget deck sounds interesting I’d love to see a video on it

Can we add smokestacks to arena?

I would say replace the Wintermoon with Novice Inspector that way you have 4 clue makers after watching all those games.

#59 knew his throw dage deck was stumped with Leyline haha

I really want to see you play with the lizzard wizzard so you can make king gizzard jokes. It also seems like a very cool card and idea for a deck. Your amazing Seth :)

Tried this with a red splash for Blood Moon instead of Winter Moon, and threw in a One Ring. 4-1 record so far, awesome deck!

@14:26 that scoop made me laugh so hard.

It was more like zoomers teaching stax a lesson.

I love that Seth goes from lets have fun, to oh evil I will show you evil

White orchid Phantom wins game 1 by being a first strike 2/2. Game 2: "Now is White Orchid Phantom's time to shine!"

*sees the word "stax" and checks the video length* Me: "Yup..."

Seth your videos are always such a treat! ❤

That turn 2 Ulamog game was wild 😭

Wintermoon and bloodmoon work good together. Bloodmoon doesn't actually turn nonbasics into basic mountains, just mountains. It forces them to untap one mountain a turn

Love the vid! Still waiting on rough drafts to come back though!!

Got some room for a couple utility lands. Could go all snow for 2 or 3 copies of Faceless Haven. Roadside Reliquary or Field of Ruin seem pretty decent as well. Yes, I know you run Winter Moon, but a couple copies of nonbasics wouldn't get in the way of that.

Okay but you got me excited for that Young Pyromancer deck

That new elk might be ok in this deck 👀 👌

The real reason to watch these videos is the Bear v goats story:)

Sort of seems like if it’s going to work as an anti-scam deck you need to mulligan to the Leyline. Which led to an immediate scoop the one time you had one out & hit scam.

I’ve been playing white orchid phantom in Timeless and it’s rapidly become my favourite MH3 card

09:50 The peruvian laugh 😂😂

My favourite deck is mono white mindcensor land destruction. Anything that stops searches, in this case aven mindcensor, field of ruin effects, white orchid phantom, its awesome. It definitely sucks because its so reliant on mindcensor, and does nothing against a lot of monocolour decks, but its beautiful when it works

I actually find this whole concept very interesting, because nowadays 90% of my queue is Boros Energy Aggro... I legit can't remember the last time i faced any of the decks this deck is built to face

I can't believe you weren't playing the strongest stax card, Roiling Vortex.

This video gave me so much satisfaction. 🤣 The zoomer playing Grief, only to notice later that you have leyline, made me laugh so much! 🤣As well as the one who played Not dead after all. 🤣Arena players who doesn't know the rules are so funny sometimes. 🤣 Love you Seth!! 🤣🤣

that 2nd player poor guy lmao. i know that felt bad

This deck felt like it could really have benefitted from either some big card draw engine or some inevitable creature/planeswalker. Got in so many positions where the board was clear but felt like opponents had a chance anyway by slowly playing out their janky creatures

Thalia, Heretic Cathar seems much better than wintermoon, tap their fetches and then their fetched land, encouraging them to grab the basics or be delayed two turns, at which point you can blow up the other non basics and start stone raining them. Also ditching the moon lets you run regular non basic land destruction lands too (fields &co) or creature lands

11:22 you should cast ephemerate in your opponents upkeep. So he has one less mana to work with that turn.

Did Seth miss play forgetting the one creature had first strike in the first game? So even if oppenent would’ve chose to block the dog first the first strike damage would’ve went first anyways?

this is the most games I've seen in one video lmao

35:15 I suspect this was a white orchid phantom they probably had a bunch of spells they couldn't play

Feels like ghost quarter would be a good addition. And maybe replace winter moon, with novice inspector.

I’ve just been running slickshot with Harbinger of the Tides and Winter moon to Jank ‘em out

Also remember folks 4:25 he could double block without looseing the dog becuase of first strike👍

maybe this list would benefit from a one ring? or some colorless card draw like mazemind tome? it really needs a way to restock on cards

We all thought crim was crazy maindecking 4 leyline and aggressively mulliganing 3 months ago.

Woo can we really do stax in arena time to have old school fun. What was your winrate?

This video is cathartic.

This might be the deck that gets me into timeless

This Bear story is goated.

Ahh trolling arena zoomers... never gets old

White board wipe over Wintermoon probably is something to consider

Well, the shuffler conspiracy is true for Brawl, at least

This is the sweetest revenge

Why didnt he blink the opponents grief with ephemerate or phelia around 19:20? Wouldnt that give him exyra draws?

I wonder if Karn, Scion of Urza could work in this deck as it's card advantage engine since you mentioned needing one

Seth turning into Farfa after having One Bad Day...

I think the one ring would be a much better include than winter moon. Solves the card advantage problem

Isn't Trinisphere on Arena now? Slamming one of those down would stop all the Evoke Elementals dead

Beating T2 ulamog gave me such immense seratonin 😂

my favorite mtg series

Was looking for a tax deck. Ayt OK lets goooo!

41:10 I think you probably could've won this if you flashed in Solitude in response to or before Phelia's trigger, since then the same result happens on that turn (Solitude is blinked and stays and Ravagan dies), but it saves the Ephemerate for later and given that the match was won by exactly 1 creature, it probably could've worked.

Path to Exile was added to Arena, right? Maybe having some number of those in place of the Winter Moons would give the deck more resilience against big creatures and put more pressure on the oponent to search out basics

Oh Bear definitely wants to eat those goats 😂😂😂

15:20 is exactly why I think it's funny that everyone hates scam. Like, yeah, it sucks to play against, but you're in a format that's faster than any else, so if you remove Grief, generally the problem is solved and they lose is my experience.

In theory White Orchid Phantom and Winter Moon don't make a lot of sense together. In practice people don't play basic lands

Thanks for testing winter moon, now i know it's absolutely useless

I am sad I didn't get to hear the Seth intro... :(

perhaps holding back one leyline for pitching purposes is a proper play. but also doubling up is good

I think if the moons were a sweeper like, Wrath of the Skies, the deck would be a lot stronger.

What do you think about a 2-3 witch enchanters as flood insurance Seth? I know it’s a nonbo with winter moon, but you DO get to untap at least one of them.

Okay but i so wanna see that young pyro deck. Maybe in best of three? AT LEAST an article so can copy it

Lmao that autopilot player at 14:10 Cards are hard to read

My god it's insane how little those high ranked players don't read the cards

keep one leyline for the solitude Seth

It's hard to see Seth not mulligan until he gets the leyline in hand
