"Man, those mean girls! That bratty egotist is just soo mean. And don't get me started on the one who rips your skin off!"

[@grantrandall8388]

She was just jealous that my skin was clearer and I wouldn't tell her my skincare routine.

[@MasterCrvo]

​@@grantrandall8388I like to put on an illusionary mask before bedtime and leave it on overnight, and take it off in the morning with a nice planar cleansing. Leaves my pores with a feeling of enduring renewal for the whole day.

God forbid women do anything

[@Crunchatize_Me_Senpai]

omggggg she ripped my skin off RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF MY HOMECOMING SPEECH it was SO EMBARRASSING DILLON WAS WATCHING AND WHEN HE TEXTED ME LATER THAT NIGHT HE ONLY USED FOUR HEART EMOJIS INSTEAD OF THE USUAL FIVE! HE HATES ME NOW! 😭

[@ryangainey94]

Still less scornful than the Scornful Egotist

[@BootiSwet]

Oh man, Imagine tidebinding the fabled passage. "Stop trying to make fetch happen"

[@MasterCrvo]

Stifle the fetch up=stfu?

[@MTGGoldfish]

Brutal.

[@godtiermtg]

I think Egotist is even better than you play it. You should be able to sacrifice it along with everything else to the Pitiless Carnage and still get all of its triggers, plus extra for sacrificing itself.

[@lancemorris8468]

I had the same thought and looked into it. From the gatherer rulings: “If you sacrifice Popular Egotist, its last ability will trigger. If you sacrifice other permanents at the same time, its last ability will trigger for each of those permanents as well.” So yes, sacrificing the egotist is usually the correct play, at least if you’re going for the kill shot

[@derbohrkopf]

also you can play around removal, they don't get a window after you play it if you carnage immediately

[@Esper_Compleat]

​@@derbohrkopf they do have a window, carnage doesn't sac anything until it resolves, they can respond to carnage with removal

[@johndoe9343]

When people forget that not everything sacrifices as cost.

Goddamn it! You beat me to it. I gotta delete mine 😂 🫡 to you.

[@LookADistarction]

I imagine Egotist and Skinripper sitting at a table in the cafeteria quoting Heathers and Mean Girls. “My teen angst bullshit has a body count.“ “Stop trying to make fetch(lands) happen!”

[@LookADistarction]

That cold blooded snake that spews venom and terrorizes cute little creatures is absolutely terrifying. Rottenmouth Viper is pretty scary too.

[@robertngo1629]

[@x1PMac1x]

Opponent 1 couldn't play the Overlord because they used a blue to bounce, and had only one blue source left since their Cavern of Souls was on "Dragon" type.

[@Kairoi89]

Seth, stop trying to make fetch happen. It is not going to happen... 😂

Or better yet, no matter what happens in life, there will always be untold suffering and untold joy in the world 😊

[@TheDoubleA12]

Wasn't because of the election, more of a mid life crisis. But thank you for the kind words

[@superdimentiobrolyX]

i love how the opponent of game one could be seen reading skinripper after it killed them

[@ReyosBlackwood]

I think Seth misses that you can sacrifice the Egotist too, the triggers will still all go on stack so every time he's been thinkin he has exactly enough with egotists on the field, he has an extra damage margin

[@TransformersBoss]

21:06 the Leyline is probably so that Demonic Counsel can tutor any Creature

[@jameswood5285]

This being an hour earlier is exactly what my day needed!!!

[@MTGGoldfish]

The time change got me.

[@danielklein5829]

that bizarre leyline deck with meathook massacre 2, I am also baffled and need to understand what the hell they were doing.

[@Biobird913]

Maybe they are playing Unholy Annex, which is why anyone would choose Demon in current standard.

[@Hygoro]

Maybe also Demonic Counsel toolbox?

[@alaraplatt8104]

​@@Hygoro i think u got it. still an unplayable idea but i think thats what they were going for. imagine mulling until u get a card that is dead except for the chance to drain some life and turn another dead card into eladamris call

[@ross-int]

7:10 Two Girls, one Cave-Bat

[@doormatt72]

56:10 - oh nooooo! Opponent! Don’t do it, no!

[@Dsmky117]

"your go" spammer gets wrecked, you love to see it

[@godtiermtg]

I’d love a video or article on a pioneer version of this deck. Access to Cat/Oven and Mayhem Devil seems very strong

[@neminem233]

Just wanted to say: Mean Girls is a GREAT name

[@Crunchatize_Me_Senpai]

For real, it’s refreshing to see creative names again like decks had in ye olden days. I hate that most decks now are just called “rakdos midrange” and stuff like that

[@CDShap]

"How is my opponent down to 8?" They paid life to kill your tokens 🤣

[@Kalladdin]

I think this deck would benefit from some removal main deck that are also saccable permanents: Blood Spatter Analysis, Case of the Burning Masks & Nowhere To Run all seem relatively playable main deck.

[@Rikmach]

"Get in the deck, we're sacrificing all out lands."

[@RoosterCogburnPhD]

7:08 your opponent's logic was probably "No, I want you to SEE this shit."

[@zackpumpkinhead8882]

I had so much fun with Egotist in limited. I didn't even draft black red. I did orzhov, dimir, golgari, and it's still one of the best picks in any black deck.

[@zackpumpkinhead8882]

Wait A sacrifice combo deck without Beseech The Mirror. Okay. Fine. Sure.

[@jacefairis1289]

for M1G2: if you hadn't drawn the other mean girl, i probably woulda just floated the mana, sacrificed everything, and hoped to hit duress or a bat lol. pretty good odds of hitting a 6-outer off of drawing 11 lol

[@dankrocka64]

If this your flavor, you might try brewing "The Cheese Stands Alone": Scavenger's Talent/Vinelasher/Lumra/Pitiless Carnage: most of the time, win with Vinelasher pings. Other times you win with nothing on board except a food token, milling opponent with ST/Carnage... sometimes both wincons, at the same damn time!

[@ajaxender12]

Try Rollercrusher. I was brewing around the Skinripper Pitiless Carnage combo last week, and while Rakdos sac+discard is the obvious shell, I think it's actually too aggressive; it doesn't want to play combo, it wants to overwhelm and win before the opponent stabilizes. It dilutes both strategies. Rollercrusher is an *absurd* Magic card. Seriously. It's like the Flytrap, you think 'oh this sucks without delirium', but getting delirium is easy and dealing double non-combat damage to everything is insane; especially when it then makes it easy for Rollercrusher to kill important targets. Makes Skinripping math really easy (also makes Food Fight actually viable, + Forensic Gadgeteer and Enigma Jewel, Izzet or Jeskai, fun as hell). In that sense I think there's probably a very very strong build of this in Jund or Grixis to enable more self-mill/discard, and a slower game plan, either overwhelming with Green resource advantage or controlling the game with Blue.

[@AllTop507]

15:00 You're making it more complicated in your head than it actually is lol. When a spell gets copied with Chandra they hold priority, so the copy happens before the first one resolves. So torch on the egotist, hold priority, torch on the egotist, make it indestructible, both torches fizzle. You didn't have to do the sac, torch, sac thing lol

[@syrelian]

The first sac was to bait them to use the Torch at all, though Pitiless Carnage since they'd kill her in response most likely, shoulda worked as well

[@derpyderperson2912]

Awesome gameplay, sweet deck ya got there 😜

[@MTGGoldfish]

Thanks!

[@awesomeguy5451]

saw this deck on the twitch channel, such a fun deck

[@1997Awesomedude]

The temporary lockdown in the last game is maybe the worst play I've ever seen someone make

[@sebastiancruz5261]

What’s up Seth

[@MTGGoldfish]

Yo!

[@olipod5470]

This deck is so cool. I am tempted to try it

[@OGNoNameNobody]

Gonna have fun w/ this build on the Ladder in DEC after everyone forgets that it exists!

[@ardras4649]

That deck is so sweet! Thank you for showing it, and thank you for the heads up repeated in the end! Do you think that deck could work in BO1? (By cutting Viper and some others, and add some removal, maybe?)

[@abeybaebe2514]

This deck looks super cool!

[@MrShinyObject]

God I hope this deck pops off so that I hear this deck's name on coverage. It's been too long since we've had a goofy named deck!

[@noyman1988]

I really want to know what that blue leyline deck was trying to do

[@Skylersuzy]

Great content

[@LoonerFlight]

That looks like so much fun!

[@RodrigoPRS]

This deck is actually very cool and creative

[@MTGGoldfish]

Thanks!

[@Therealdobby]

I feel like Duress should’ve hit torch in the first match? Explosion is a sorcery, so you could duress the torch and play around the Explosion to win in one turn? Sweet looking deck though. There’s so many cool viable decks in standard now and not enough wildcards, haha.

[@Atmapalazzo]

I think the concern was the explosion being used as straight card draw.

[@Therealdobby]

@ makes sense. He won anyways, so I guess it worked out, haha.

[@twi1ightknight]

our deck doesnt have hate like that. *dies to sheoldred*

[@cassie7611]

could someone clarify for me why taking removal with bat is the go-to play? my instinct is always that taking an important card would be better because then you force the opponent to use their removal on the bat to get it back or you slow their gameplan, but this is never the way i see it played. if someone could explain why taking the removal is optimal i’d really appreciate it!

[@calebmills6051]

Because taking the removal means the bat gets to “permanently” take a card rather than just delaying the opponent until they remove the bat. It also means you get to develop your own creatures without fear of them being removed.

[@SufficientlyCaffeinated]

seth ! i love the NMH shirt !

[@spoopymcspoop2253]

What happened to the top of your screen @8:24 ?

[@poiri]

Normal Arena bug

[@hordenmeisterAO]

29:39 By playing the freebooter and then the carnage (instead of plotting) you'd have had lethal. (Could even have sacrificed the freebooter to one of the skinrippers for a +1/+1 counter and then played the carnage with the treasure. YOu'D have sacrificed 6 lands, the freeboter and the treasure for 16 damage+7 from combat.)

[@jsato4921]

43:08 Why did you attack with the fish!? Getting in for 1 can't be as important as blocking 3!

[@ivancarlos1055]

Hey Seth! For some reason I can't adjust the quality of your videos, the option is greyed out... literally only your videos lol

[@JoeKell365]

you probably should be on 4 Swamp 2 Mountain instead of 3 of each. everything requires black mana and only a few things require red, so you might benefit from the 4th Swamp

[@Atmapalazzo]

So is the viper supposed to be the bus?

[@doormatt72]

48:43 yes, there is a lot of times people choose to draw in alchemy. Many alchemy cards are much stronger on the draw. I feel like there’s a real choice of play vs draw in that format. It’s one of the great features of the format.

[@dennismonk9559]

I don't think people choose to draw very often, but those cards are great to mitigate the downside of going second. I wish they would adapt that into standard cards, no reason they can't (especially the lands).

[@Duall8]

@@dennismonk9559 I think it's because of tracking issues of who went first as to why they aren't adapted. Comparing land counts is not terrible way to indicate who went first in the early turns, though it's awkward because the person on the draw has to play off curve to get the benefit in most designs.

[@braddtheodd3390]

I guess the Blue Leyline on Demon lets you use the new Black Tutor to get any creature in the deck. Don't know if it's worth it though.

[@calebmills6051]

It’s definitely not

[@TyroneM113]

This is a long shot, but does anyone know the name of a blue card, that has an alt art version with a cat in a robe? Please help me!
