I'll Steal Your Deck with the Biggest Villainous Wealth Ever | Against the Odds

[@whoopsmymeds]

Omnath offers to reveal any card that has three pips, it doesn't have to be a tricolor card. That's why it revealed Nyxbloom Ancient

[@colecarmichael5724]

Thank god I thought I was crazy

[@zorbratron]

I was yelling ar my screen to reveal it.

[@Small_Panda]

As they say reading the card explains the card just not for Seth.😅

[@AlternativelyBananas]

What the hell seth

[@joelhaggis5054]

​@Small_Panda I think Seth has adequately proven that he can't read.

[@WyattAndrews]

The flavor win of Villainous Wealth is that like any plan of a classic villain trope, executing your master plan is overly complicated and tedious, and has a high rate of failure even if you do pull it off. God I love it.

[@Chibifox]

Seth in his villain arc has me dying, I'll forever remember him saying: "Aww, did we upset the POORS??" 😂

[@BobardeZanzibar]

That's the secret of mtggoldfish: Seth has always been on his villain arc.

Seth enthusiastically wanting his opponent to activate the one ring properly was so wholesome and I loved it!

[@Matthias7342]

You could have revealed Nyxbloom with Omnath because Nyxbloom has three mana symbols in its mana cost. Omnath doesn't care about having a three-colored card on top of your library - the card on top just has to have three (or more) colored mana symbols. So you can reveal Nyxbloom with Omnath to add three green mana, because Nyxbloom has three green mana symbols in his mana cost. Same thing with Sea Gate Restoration.

[@zigzag2370]

So this is secretly a home for siege rhino in brawl

[@Red-Tower]

​@@zigzag2370yes! I run it in my omnath brawl deck. In fact it's half the reason I built the deck lol

[@chazzer5968]

Poor Seth. Had to sit through an opponent misplaying with the ring over and over again.

[@PinkReaper1]

Ok but on the other hand poor opponent having to sit through Seth forgetting how nearly every card played today worked lol

[@jrjamesson]

then misplayed his commander

[@cybe9717]

55:25 Seth, if you had waited a turn you could have Teferi's Protection, float a bunch of mana, then Farewell for all modes, making it a one sided wrath. Teferi's Protection doesn't stop you from casting spells

[@JacoDeltaco]

your hand does phase out I think

[@rgderen88]

@@JacoDeltaco The salty rope was in response to him phasing out, then playing Bauble

[@noisemarrow8986]

@@JacoDeltaco A hand is not a permanent and cannot be phased out. The reason people usually can't interact after teferi's protection is because their mana sources are phased out, but floating mana gets around that, as does a spell being free (i.e Force of Will) Of note about the hand, something which targets a player won't work because Teferi's Protection prevents targeting the player who cast it, but an effect which makes all players discard would still affect the Teferi's Protection caster

[@englishrobin96]

Hearing Seth say "did we anger the poors" was probably the best moment of this entire video XD Amazing deck - super fun video - and as always, wonderful content.

[@konnichi1wa]

So, Seth punted against the Lavinia player, his Chimil made his spells uncounterable and Lavinia counters free spells, doesn't stop him from casting them.

[@Rathinen]

Yeah, looks like Seth forgot about that part of Chimil, not that Chimil stayed around long.

[@ReyosBlackwood]

@@RathinenI'm pretty sure Chimil is why the opponent used that wrath when they did, because they actually knew how the card worked unlike Seth.

[@alaraplatt8104]

hardly a "punt", when in this case he was actually better off with the card in his hand

[@jrjamesson]

I'd say the punt was casting villainous wealth into thalia without killing thalia first with one of the ten removal spells in hand

[@ReyosBlackwood]

@@alaraplatt8104Naw, a misplay is still a misplay, even when it ends up working in your favor because of what happens next turn. It was the wrong move to make based on the info Seth had at the time.

[@jms4979]

You need Crim's emotes for that opp who kept tapping One Ring. "Serves you right for rushing ahead"

[@r4g1ngph03n1x]

37:35 We don't have to tutor for it, correct. So we should be tutoring for a Nyxbloom Ancient so we can take their entire deck....

[@jakobmoebius]

I'm so sad he missed it. He had 38 Mana. Wishclaw + Nyxbloom goes down to 31 Mana (because of Immortal Sun). So he could've cast Villainous Wealth for X = 90, which would've left opponent dead on their draw step. So Seth, you technically also missed lethal there.

[@Duall8]

I don't think Seth realizes how much mana Ancient nets you when you have 15+ mana

[@johndoe9343]

@@jakobmoebius to be fair, especially in Against the Odds... the point wasn't to Villainous Wealth to mill the opponent. It's to steal a crap ton of cards from the opp's deck.

[@xgamer25125]

FYI you can tap Q twice to float all of your mana from all your lands in Arena.

[@kurowasanabe]

Not content with grabbing legs, Seth now also grabs decks.

[@erisdiscordia5429]

I love the term salty rope. Knowing there is a name for it makes it more fun to watch it tick down.

[@acdcguy18]

At 53:10, Nyxbloom Ancient was able to be revealed because Omanth cares "if it has three or more coloured mana symbols" not if it has three or more *DIFFERENT* coloured mana symbols. Reading the card explains the card.

[@mazein90]

If the last opponent didn't scoop, it would be hilarious to see Seth see his unspent mana gone because of teferi pro

[@Wuronjilong]

Boy that Yarok game was almost a culmination of everything I hate about historic brawl. The only thing missing was a Wash Away.

He's been getting me unnecessarily angry with that one. Well, all of his and other creators who mispronounce simple words while the biggest part of their job is reading. At least it's not "Scumble to Temptation"...

[@dakotaray4468]

Seth contemplating exiling enchantments with farewell because he’s afraid of ECD reanimating while also clicking on exile all graveyards is the most Seth thing I have ever seen.

[@r4g1ngph03n1x]

55:15 Pretty sure the correct choice is to pass the turn, floating mana on their turn. Then you your mana, cast farewell to remove the Lavinia, and now you're free to cast villainous wealth for a lot.

[@daviddent5662]

One of my favorite Game Knights tilt moments is seeing this card come out and turning the game around. I want to say Josh cast it but it might have been Post Malone...But either way I opened one and currently run it in Nine Fingers Kine. Funny thing is I have had a Phyrexian Omnath for ages and wasn't sure what to put it...I might just have to build a budget version of this and overload it with the monoblack resources I didn't realize Omnath can fuel so easily. Very cool video Seth!

[@ReyosBlackwood]

58:25 Read the card - I know you are running it mostly for the discover, but Chimil is AMAZING in that matchup BECAUSE it makes everything you cast uncounterable, free spells included.

[@matthewjessey12]

You are my favorite mtg youtuber. I love you enthusiasm and how it's always fun ideas and good entertainment. I'd rather watch your content than TV or even playing magic lol

[@matterhorn731]

37:20 Since you drew the Villainous Wealth, you could've tutored for the Nyxbloom and tripled up your mana first. EDIT: Spending 1 floating mana for Talisman and 3 for the Nyxbloom and tapping 3 green sources leaves 22 untapped mana sources and 8 floating black, which turns into a total of 74 mana with Nyxbloom for a Villainous Wealth of X=71. EDIT 2: Opponent had 73 cards at the time, so _almost_ decking them but not quite.

[@sebastianlengyel4681]

The very end of the last game was the perfect opportunity to hit them with the money taco

33:14 Didn't even need Reliquary Tower. As a lover of Sea Gate Restoration in commander, Sea Gate Restoration is all you need. No max hand size built right in!

[@samhalsey2155]

This quickly became my 2nd favorite magic card. I do some REALLY dumb things in Commander with this card! it's SOOO much fun to just drop a massive wealth & then recur it with Tasigur. The key is knowing your opponents and picking the right person :)

[@YouTubeChonce]

Lmao at the Xander's lounge randomly bouncing at 28:13 arena has had so many graphical glitches lately

[@ZSAITOSEI]

My best showing of Wealth was a Zaxara X spell commander deck. Now, I didn't have Omnath strats at the time but I did access infinite mana with Pemmin's Aura on Zaxara, used it to cast Villainous for X=100, stole one player's entire deck, and used it to win the game! Feels like this but much much harder to acquire 😅

[@patriciaboggs8882]

My friend uses Tasigur but for me it was also Zaxara. I had a budget build and even without the doublers or infinite, I was able to several times cast for 30+. I'd usually win with some combo that came from opponents decks. I tend to not like winning with combo but if it's the opponents combo then I don't feel bad at all about winning that way. How can they complain about it if it's their cards?

[@Idk-pu6yb]

I love villainous wealth too, have a sultai hydra x spell deck i built when modern horizons came out. Unboud flourishing, into a big villainous wealth just wins games

[@clee8768]

I built the exact same thing. I've always been a sucker for big x spells.

[@bellybutthole69]

Same . I made a X spell matter hydra deck just to cast giant Villainous Wealth hehehe

[@noisemarrow8986]

58:25 Chimil itself makes sure your spell will absolutely not be countered. Oh the irony

[@pinkvishnu]

Though I have no interest in playing Brawl or even Commander myself, I do enjoy your videos about it. It gives you a chance to do some crazy stuff without just getting murdered by Sheoldred.

[@lucksnow9905]

Seth really said “Chimil’s not even that good because Lavinia will just counter the discovered card” XD

[@dustyfox6511]

[@ThePretzelBread]

My favorite Villainous Wealth strategy is recurring The Mirari Conjecture and casting doubled Villainous Wealths every 3 turns.

[@binggoesthedinomite]

Fun fact. Chimil is really good against Lavina as spells you control cannot be countered. which also means spells from villainous wealth can't be countered as you control those spells.

[@switchninja1426]

I managed to copy my Nyx bloom 4 times and villainous wealth for around X=80

[@ilovespeedwagon6713]

This week Seth experiences the absolute misery that is Historic Brawl!

[@Atmapalazzo]

That Lavinia match was an insane game. So many Seth punts (farewell on enchantments to deal with ecd's reanimation effect and not on artifacts, not casting removal off chimil even though it makes spells uncounterable, casting wealth into Thalia.) Then for it to end by the brawl prison deck player to salt rope.

[@lordmeep5803]

I absolutely love this deck! Also I think against that Boros deck, on the combo turn, using wishclaw to get nyxbloom first would have gotten their whole deck 😳

[@ThatBlondeKid95]

"Did we anger the poors" is my favorite thing to come out of Seth.

[@Red-Tower]

Villainous Wealth is one of my all-time favorite cards. I had a budget standard deck back with battle for zendikar that accumulated eldeazi scions to cast big VWs or Endless Ones. Slowly trying to make it into a proper pioneer deck, but don't really want to spend money on upgrades so i might just make a commander deck for it
