How Many Walkers Can We ULTIMATE For $100? 🟢⚫ Carth & Friends 🟢⚫ Budget Magic | Modern MTG

[@brandonbagley795]

I would love to see a non-budget version of this deck as well

[@LadyMapi]

Yeah, I'd love to see a version of this deck that wasn't restricted to two colors. Both Ajani, the Greathearted and Kasmina, Enigma Sage seem like they'd be really sweet with Carth.

[@lordmeep5803]

Check the much abrew deck he called out at the end! It’s very cool.

[@jamitaro-kun]

If you go into the description and open the article, Seth made a non-budget version of the deck! Edit: He typically makes ultra budget versions too but he couldn't for this one, apparently.

[@Tawnos_]

I hope he does a non-budget version or incrementally less-budgeted versions on stream :)

Or the game losing punt, by not moving the pro-black sword. "Maybe they should have gotten this other game-winning sword". No. They should have just not punted.

I'm betting they had Prismatic Omens in hand. It can't kill high cmc planeswalkers or land creatures

Nice one bro

[@poryjahn2]

Carth seemed weirdly good against the burn deck, he came down and gummed up the board made it hard for the creatures to attack you or a planeswalker. and was nearly impossible to remove with burn. obviously if burn draws a fast hand it'll just go under it but if you can force burn into the mid game carth seems pretty good.

[@bodaciouschad]

That tends to be true for any deck against burn.

[@taylorpagani9515]

Welp you know what this means. Time to remake this deck again for Much Abrew

[@MTGGoldfish]

I'm down.

[@andrewallstar2719]

[@theyonlycomeoutwhenitsquiet]

And once again, nobody is ready for the budget deck strategies. Seth, you keep proving this to be my favorite of your series. Why you gotta keep me hooked like this?

[@ethan2670]

Props to the burn opponent for letting the Vraska emblem get the win. It certainly could have just been salt, but I choose to believe that they were impressed

[@Dalenthas]

Right? They had a bolt in hand, so they could've dragged the game on for a while by bolting Vraska. I'm guessing they did the math and figured they could topdeck another burn spell if they could survive one more turn, but the Binding killing their blocker nixed that idea. They could've scooped on the spot, but they let Vraska do her thing for the win.

[@AkodoNoEyes]

I think one of the reasons this deck beat the burn deck was the lack of shock and fetches. Losing an extra 2-3 life to get one land would have been bad against burn. Would love to see a less of a budget version, Seth. Solid deck and it was fun watching you get excited beating crazy expensive decks.

[@bigwig8657]

First opponent has played an off curve inquisition and batterskull by turn 6 Seth "look at us running over modern"

[@Darchias]

100% he had dead Prismatic Omens in hand that just couldn't kill a land creature or 5 drop walkers.

[@Xileph410]

I'm not in love with planewalkers but I have to admit this deck is sweet hope to see a more optimized version of it on the future.

In the decklist sidebar, Ashiok is shown as a green card in the sideboard, despite being hybrid UB. This might be a silly thing to point out, but I think that's an error.

[@malachai1381]

Snow lands + dead of winter?

[@Darchias]

Game 1 Match 1 that opponent DEFINITELY had multiple Prismatic Omen in their hand. They couldn't kill a Land creature or a high CMC planeswalker with those.

[@Kurse_of_Kall]

44:44 (Against Phoenix) "Void Mirror, I don't think does anything." It stops Gut Shots from being cast as a free spell, also the Rebound of Faithless Salvaging. That's not a ton, but both are 4-ofs in the Phoenix deck, and pretty important for casting early Lichs and Phoenixes. Not to mention making Demilich harder to cast itself. I think that's probably enough to warrant siding it in.

[@lionkingmatiouz3441]

Spoiler week is super busy for sure, but I do love talking about new Magic cards, so I don't mind.

[@Sevifor]

36:27, "I do like that we can, if there's a Blood Sun out, we can Field of Ruin the Lotus Field." This is incorrect. Presumably, the thought was that Blood Sun gets rid of the Hexproof ability on Lotus Field, but it *also* gets rid of Field of Ruin's ability to destroy lands, which means that you cannot destroy the Lotus Field with a Field of Ruin even if Blood Sun is on the battlefield.

[@Sevifor]

Aaand approximately one minute later, we see exactly that scenario play out. This is why I should always finish watching the video before commenting, haha.

[@MTGGoldfish]

Yeah, I realized it eventually, after it was too late. Field of Ruin loses it's ability too, duh...

[@GundamPilotBen]

I have a Carth EDH deck. Lots of fun and powerful in a non-cEDH way, but also a lot of solitaire, meeting track of what you've activated and what you haven't, and spending a lot of time sequencing your turn. "Ok, tick this one up, make a token. Tick this one down to draw cards, resolve Carth trigger, then draw the cards. Now everyone discard a card..." Lots of options and different lines. I'd only suggest it if you can usually take fast turns out if your playgroup is ok with that sort of thing.

If you want to scoop then please either just do it and move on, or keep playing and don’t moan about it. I don’t personally care if you scoop when the situation looks dire or if you stick it out to the bitter end, but the “not scooping because people will yell at me” refrain is getting really tired and sets up a “creator vs. audience” vibe that just isn’t healthy.

The Snarls are always so bad, and you lose a lot of budget magic games because of them. I think sticking to man lands and pain lands is where you want to be.

[@seilaoquemvc2]

Opponent: does literally nothing all the way to turn 5 in which he hardcasts a Batterskull Seth: "Look at this 100 dollars deck! Look at what we're doing to the modern format!" also Seth: proceeds to lose this game.

[@ryangainey94]

$100 is not that low of a budget, and the deck is basically a control deck. Why is anyone surprised it's performing well? Control is inherently competitive by nature. Any deck that has as its primary focus to stop your opponent playing magic is going to be a pretty good deck. Carth has nothing to do with it. You run enough interaction to stop your opponent playing the game, you're gonna win more games, that's all there is to it. I would be a lot more impressed with this deck's wins if he wasn't running boring cards like Binding the Old Gods, Maelstrom Pulse, Bloodchief's Thirst, etc. If you're running those cards then the viability of your deck increases considerably. It baffles me that he's able to look at this deck after playing it and say "Wow Carth is amazing", even if Carth IS amazing -- it's the removal doing all the real dirty work. ANY card or combo or strategy will shine if you back it with control. It doesn't matter if it's Happily Ever After or Shrines or Carth or Mill or Coalition Victory or whatever the hell else you want to win with. If you're running control in the deck you made it more viable and consistent and took away the challenge of winning with it, no matter how janky it might appear to be at the surface when you introduce it. Disappointing. Not surprising, but very disappointing.

[@willscarborough9089]

I literally don't get this reply. Every control deck (if this is really control) needs a wincon. This one happens to be plainwalkers more or less. Why is that unimpressive? How would you have like to seen this shell built? You say control is "always good" and the purpose of this series is go make good decks. Also $100 in a format that now averages probably $800-$1000 for a deck is dirt cheap. You can even buy a playset of some fastlands for $100 much less an entire deck.

[@dansterstuff]

Probably meant $100 for paper. It's $20 in tix
