God mythos of illuna + anointed procession is just the best.

[@poofypeanut0221]

I’m sure he’ll do it at some point, but I don’t think they can just be expected to stop all content until Zendikar drops. I’m sure most decks they could post games about right now could benefit in some way to a new Zendikar card

[@LlywellynOBrien]

Not to mention discarding him at almost every opportunity.

[@StahliCell]

1:37 I have been in love with mythos of illuna, especially loved it in the thousand-year storm deck, to copy it a quadrigillion times. But I hadn't thought about copying an even bigger number of times anointed procession!!! Thanks Seth I now have to craft myself 4 anointed processions seems like :D

[@RafaelNaletto]

It reminds me of the beginnings of Arena, i had a UW deck with Annointed Procession and Annointer Priest. It was pretty close to yours but with a control pack. Nice times...

[@Atmapalazzo]

I felt bad because we had lethal on board.

[@averagefox5126]

People who play UG flash deserve anything they get. Go ahead and rub it in. Noone will blame you ;P

[@clubz1]

Gotta agree w Greg. They’re playing flash they deserve to sit there and take it all.

[@nexgreymore8702]

Tbh, this is one of my favorite decks i've seen in a while. I just really love amonkhet cards in general and glad to see embalm actually being used

[@Zosh_]

Why did you bring Sublime Epiphany against flash???

[@VirtuaSphere]

Here I thought MTGGoldfish was a family-friendly channel, but then Seth kept on saying "ramp" in match 4. :P

[@seanmurphy3430]

That feeling when you make sure to tap your lands correctly, and auto-tapper still somehow screws you over.

[@azuraflame1]

This is all I’ve ever wanted in a video T_T. One of my favorite decks

[@azuraflame1]

sad we didn't get too many great jace games but still a good one. hopefully we really will play blue white control for an episode or hopefully a full stream

[@jewpcabra666]

match 2 was pure gold - beating my least favorite card with my favorite stuff. Thank you SO for this beautiful stuff

[@itsallenwow]

Hey Seth a little feedback on the deck. While I appreciate the copy ability of Sublime Ephiphany I think you should consider just cutting it out for Mystical Disputes. When this deck reaches 6 mana it starts wanting to do stuff like Embalm Angel or try to fight to get a Procession down. So I don't think you need another copy ability at 6. But a lot of times in the flash and the blue white matchup it would've been really helpful to protect your Procession from getting countered, or snatch a greedy Revelation as happened in the final match. You only ended up casting the Epiphany once. And you had to wait until you hit 8 mana to hold up Veto to resolve it. Anyway keep up the great work.

[@catdreaming6004]

He cast Sublime Epiphany more than once. I don't see where you're getting only once from.

[@dylanwelch91]

"drop to 80" boy ya love to hear it.

[@jjohansen86]

If you have 11 anointed processions (the number that comes from playing Mythos with three already on board) then all future tokens are copied to make 2^11=2048 tokens. Arena tends to start to get into trouble around the 100-200 items on the stack mark. So, yeah, I expect 11 anointed processions to break Arena.

[@-Karnage]

I love your emotion in Match 2 Seth!

[@williamwalton9154]

I ran into this with my Historic Dimir flash and never was I so happy to have 4 Tales End on hand.

[@bryantan4228]

1:03:59 Seth sounds so surprised when Narset hits the Teferi he literally just tucked.

[@jonathansnow21]

Seth! I caught your black enchantment destruction dig in there! Lol.

[@redstonepro5412]

1:05:25 i literally know 2 people who went 7-1 in the qualifier that happened on arena yesterday, and both were playing U/W, so yes, it is a very good deck

[@paulstaffordallen4570]

I wonder if it's not more popular because it tends to mean long games, and a lot of people are focused on wins per hour, rather than overall record.

[@LOLItsToastyXD]

During the UW control, you should've let them resolve the shark token then used sublime to counter the cycling trigger, return the shark token, copy your angel, and draw a card: having the angel exile RIP. More value that way.

[@Evensong_Conductor]

UW Jace Embalm? More like UwU Jace Embalm

[@joshbaker8767]

It'd be fun to expand this diecks ideas to a cmdr deck, with both jaces once Zendikar comes out. Can also add in maybe GPG, and Helm of the Host, Rite of Replication, Mirrormade and Clever Impersonator.

[@zotha]

The tick down on Narset didn’t get another Teferi it found the Teferi you stuck back in their deck....

[@jeffmassicott7186]

I cant wait to see an update with Zendikar Rising Jace!

[@he8mybbybakribs407]

Love the deck, i like to use mirrormade to copy procession in my UW GPG deck. Multiple copies of Angel of Invention jus ends most games.

[@BernardoPowaga]

At 36:07, no need to fully manual tap mana to use field of ruin. Just tap that land manually and let auto tapper take care of the rest. You'd still have veto up and the gameplay would be faster.

[@stephenhousman6975]

Match 1 I have seen people running 1 cling in the main. 36:15 Ironically if you taped the field and castle it wouldn't have tapped your other white source

[@sergiosandres]

Saw another deck like this careful if you go with absurd number of tokens or triggers Arena automatically go for the draw!

[@superfanboyguy]

At 1:04, why didn’t you just emblem the Gideon? Is there some thing that I may have missed?

[@markusbombadil6665]

Ruining the EoT Scry to the bottom with Field actually does something, by shuffling cards your opp doesn't want back into his/her deck, and preventing opp from using Castle next turn.

In that second game against Mono Green Golos, he discards his second Wrath so that he can hold on to multiple Processions, then scoops cause he can’t deal with the second Ooze...wow... His discard choices were really suspect sometimes during this video

[@mrzhou7685]

I made this with herald of the heavens and griffin aerie instead of Jace and angel of sanctions, it makes so many free griffin tokens and seems better than Seth's version
