Couldn't be me, more excited for the prospect of having more hamsters for Minsc to throw at people than the LD games 😂

I think the issue with this deck is the curve just doesn't work without arboria grazer

It'd be cool if they reprinted Morophon in bloomburrow to get it on arena!

S a l v e d

I have been toying with a land destruction deck using the flare of cultivation ramp strategy as well, but my land destruction is using spreading algae with Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth to make my opponents lands get destroyed when they are tapped. I also lock them out with trinisphere, icy manipulator, and root maze. Essentially the idea is, Turn 1: Green source, Arboreal Grazer or Elvish Pioneer to place another land, flare of cultivation to sacrifice the creature we just played for a third land and a guaranteed land drop the following turn. Turn 2: Depends on our hand and the board state, we can either sylvan scrying for an urborg and play that into spreading algae or root maze, play trinisphere and root maze to slow down the opponent, or some else like abrupt decay creatures that we don't want around. From there the idea is root maze and trinisphere keep the opponent basically locked while we use the spreading algae and urborg combo to keep them at 2 lands or less at all times. Icy manipulator is used to forcibly tap their lands so they can't just wait 3 turns and then cast a spell.

It is stupid that cards like Prismatic Vista are mythic rare. Even Prismatic Ending is mythic like come on man. Just like with the strixhaven mystical archive, they know what they are doing with the special guests on arena.

Paper is dope!!! Love it.

Why Mwonvuli Acid-Moss isn't on Arena?

I have been runnih a similar list and I have been getting many concedes on turn 3. I'd suggest adding some copies of Goblin Dark Dwellers. In can finish the game and recasts land destruction or sweeper/removal.

I believe the new mechanic that is a spin on the old one mentioned by Rosewater is a spin on devotion but for creature types instead of mana pips. They already spoiled a nykthos land where you name a creature and it taps to add mana equal to the number of crreatures of that type.

I think the new twist on an old mechanic might be a new take on heroic. Change to be like a trigger on commiting a crime but for your things rather than your opponent's.

Is anyone else worried about omni combo coming to standard?

Easily have 20 decks, man prepared for FNM

I made a Jund Panza brawl deck and surprisingly no one has scooped yet

All my Dominaria Promo Llanowar elves are about to go past $6

I wonder what 2cmc black removal spell is going into foundations. One of them probably is but could be doom blade, heartless act, infernal grasp, feed the swarm, bitter triumph or go for the throat

Regarding Nadu: If they ban Shuko, people will just move on to a 4 CoCo, 4 Chords build and use Outrider full on instead of Shuko. You thought Nadu was annoying now? Wait until they start ripping the combo off the top deck at end step.

Just wanna say, I love mtg goldfish content. I love the podcasts and I love listening to opinions that are different than mine. I’ve learned a lot about the different social aspects of commander from watching you guys.

the tweaked mechanic from 2013 is 100% going to be heroic but it works with abilities too. like half of the cards they've previewed for the set have abilities that target creatures. maro also mentioned on his blogatog a few months back that an upcoming set was using a fixed heroic.

The 5 minute wait is gone!

I mean, if you wanted to raise the price, might as well go to 1/4 like you originally did. 250 would give some hella viable decks.

they really need a system...make them...uhm..maybe not...make them idk, commune tokens...or something silly like that. Trigger? remove a counter. But then you get the problem of things multiplying tokens and stuff...ugh...

"WOTC couldn't possibly think people would buy cards on 3 clients" Oh Seth, WOTC has done dumber things than that so they are totally gonna do that.

I enjoy these videos the most as you see all of the games played

The image looks so bad cause its probably a insider, they did it on purpose to make sure it hides any watermark that may be on it to find leakers.

Wthere the heck does Seth buy his MH3 Booster boxes that they are only 125$ for him. 250$ instead of a Box is certainly not almost two boxes

I’ve heard of Trampled by Turtles. They do a good cover of “where is my mind” by the Pixies.

I think it makes sense to increase the budget magic budget a bit to reflect the times. Probs get you more into a middle ground where you get to use some more whickity whack centerpiece cards

Tattoo idea: Scoops holding a Blood Moon

ruby storm is a sweet name, but i forgot mh3 reprinted the medallions so i thought the deck was running ruby from wilds of eldraine at first...

everyone who had a goldfish only last a couple days like seth? they cant go in a small bowl or ten gallon tank, they produce alot of waste so recommended for goldfish is actually like a 50 gallon tank with a good filter, they can also get quite large, the goldfish that die right away are because they were kept in the wrong conditions please stop putting goldfish and beta fish into small filterless tanks its literally animal abuse thank you

Always fun to watch some storm! I did, however, almost skip the video because the thumbnail wasn’t immediately recognizable as a Goldfish video.

Also, would the game break if WOTC mage a leyline with cycling?

Would it be cool if WOTC made an leyline anthem as a counter play to bow masters to enable dork strategies again? It wouldn't be toi busted would it? Or just not playable?

Get the five color pips by themselves

Hey Seth! (And community!) Long time watcher here!! Love the content as always! I might have a bit of a ranty idea (mostly justifications for it) to present as we approach Pro Tour MH3 this weekend! Let me preface with the idea that Modern is in quite an interesting place right now, and the call for bannings at every interval is getting exhaustive. It's interesting to me that Timeless now exists and if you'll allow me a moment of delusion, I might posture towards a new unseen future for the game. Modern when it was within its infancy was intended to be swingy format where no one was winning the game outright and definitively by Turn 4. So many decks have come and gone thanks to the interest of preserving this idea. But Modern is now almost 15 years old (Jesus I feel ancient typing that out) and the game/format has undergone a rigorous gauntlet of power creep, continual bannings and disenfranchised players as they buy into the game only to have their most expensive pieces outright unplayable due to some perceived need to preserve this "Turn 4" ideology of the format. What if we unbanned everything? Would Eldrazi run rampant again with Eye of Ugin? Would Storm be the only playable deck because it's so fast and consistent? Would Hogaak just race everything else outright and be the end-all be all? And what of Affinity with those Artifact lands? Does Miracles really seem like an issue when they're dead on T3? Do we really care that Modern is a "no one wins before turn 4" format any longer when the power creep and aging of the format alone have pushed it to be the Legacy-Lite format it's come to be today? Considering all the free spells (Including counters!) is Splinter Twin really a problem in a format where everyone is trying to win on Turn 2 or 3? Is the idea that the format NEEDS to be a Turn 4 format really that important anymore? What is that supposed to mean for players? That we cant handle a faster paced format like Legacy? Why shouldn't Modern evolve? The naysayers will say it's a terrible idea and Modern should be strictly regulated to the old Turn 4 win rhetoric. But I postulate that Timeless is a test to see how well a Modern day format can handle power creep without bannings and only restricting the truly oppressive strategies. Decks can continue to exist when they're allowed to have 1-ofs. Not nearly as consistently, but that's kind of the point of restriction. Of course, there's no saying an outright ban couldn't happen again for the sake of a Restriction not being enough (though I doubt many decks will spawn from the opportunity to play a single copy of Hypergenesis or Krark Clan Ironworks, for that matter.) Is Dark Depths oppressive when you can only play one? Or Mental Misstep? It's honestly laughable that Umezawa's Jitte is still on the banlist at this junction in the format's life. It's my bewildered idea that we unban it all, let the bullets fly and the gunsmoke settle until the meta itself develops and then we look at the big problematic outliers that are killing everyone on Turn 1 and restrict what makes those decks insane (Eye of Ugin goes to 1 now so the Free Mimics option isn't so available as a potential example.) Until we again reach a point in the format where it's hyper diverse, but every deck and playstyle is represented as best it can be by every card in the format being legal. Are we as players not looking for WotC to throw us a real bone? To give us a reason to stop being so disenfranchised and excited to pick up our cards again? The Reserved List was great for Magic Boomers but us Magic Zoomers don't care about that. Legacy is dead to us thanks to the Reserved List and the tallying of popularity among formats mirrors that sentiment. All we want is to be able to play the game in the least prohibitive manner we can without having to worry about whether or not our deck is allowed to be played at next week's FNM. If you've read this far: WOW! Thanks for absorbing my thoughts! I'd LOVE to know what you think! Maybe this is a disscussion for the Goldfish crew to have? Maybe it's a dizzy daydream to think we're all mature enough to handle a fast paced nu-Modern where everything is legal to some extent (and it may not be such a bad idea to add Force of Will to the format at this point, either.) But it seems to me we're running in circles chasing a long gone dizzy daydream of a format by continuing down this path of rotating the format with every Modern Horizons set, breaking the format, banning "the problem(tm)" rinsing and repeating. I dont think Modern cares to be what it was in its premature phases anymore. It's almost graduated High School, at this point. I feel like it's time for it (and the game) to mature and handle the power creep instead of fearfully sealing it all away like it's Exodia or something (cheeky Yu-Gi-OH! reference here!)

1:23:00 You could still have cast the Static Prison first. Wish says "You may cast a card from your sideboard *this turn* ", it doesn't require you to do so immediately

Hey @mtggoldfish at 1:01:40. You cast a RAL. Afterwords cast a sorcery. In response to the enemy lightning bolt, you can cast the rituel instant in exile. If you win the flip, you can flip the ral and Fissel the bolt?

Deck Tech: 15:47

8:41 - My man....every card for you is a tongue twister. Love ya!

Gotta say, I'm not a fan of having emblem interaction. Probably because in 90% of the cases, you have someone tick up a planeswalker for like 5 turns, spending resources into protecting it and all of that, only for them to emblem and next thing they know all of that was wasted. Just my opinion though

I'm at magic con!!! going tomorrow. Was hoping you would be there, but it'll be cool to see the rest of the crew!

1:41:00 Please ask if Reid Duke has time to make limited content for Goldfish. If Mengu can fly into Card Market then Reid can draft for Goldfish!

I love how people keep complaining about the storm deck being too broken. I mean it's not busted, but it is very powerful which is something that just makes it a good fit for the format.

Losing 5 coin flips in a row is Ral's specialty

Forcing it?? It's an established deck now

I know Trampled By Turtles...

Does Runaway Steamkin have a place in Ruby storm? Seems like it might be ok?
