Budget Magic: $96 (41 tix) UG Lands (Standard)

[@aaronnava5656]

Me at 25:20 : This is quietly a great play Seth at 25:47 : "That's a 13/13 Multani taking down TWOOOO Torrential Gearhulks!" Me at 25:55 : This is loudly a great play

[@tomjackal5708]

that was truly so beautiful

[@daweisguy454]

Multani burning through a few counters then bodying three torrential gearhulks is one of the best things I've ever seen.

[@Ghost26968]

MULTANI SMAAAAAAASH

[@Dragonspassage]

It went through 5 cards in a control deck and still won talk about card advantage lol.

[@wpmer]

Watching saffron olive play magic is like taking a shower, I do it every day and enjoy every minute of it.

[@honeyham6788]

you take too many showers

[@wpmer]

One shower a day is too many??

[@theLogicblade]

technically yes, but don't let that stop you.

[@starvingboyinafrica9463]

wpmer showering everyday is bad for your hair bc you are washing away the oils in your hair. You run the risk of balding.

[@dpop1]

You can take a shower without washing your hair

[@andrewgates2568]

Favorite Deck in a while. I think it'd be fun to see this played with the upgrades.

[@michaelmaugeri771]

Hey Seth! Could you please make an upgraded version of this deck that is a bit more competitive. I would love to see this deck work

[@yonatanharris1539]

i think nissa vital force would be super sweet in this deck. IDK if it would be good but plus-ing her and then ulting next turn for the draw a card every time you play a land emblem would be super fun

[@DonovanPresents]

22:01 They moment you realize Seth is playing on a whole 'nother level... "Mountain... Llanowar Elves" 😂

[@TwoCatsinaTrenchcoat]

Needs Dunes of the Dead. Underrated land. Tap it for mana, sac it, get a zombie, replay it, tap it for mana. Then do it again.

[@MTGGoldfish]

Ohh, that does sound pretty sweet.

[@Jude3333]

You should test the scry bug by just making a deck of one-ofs and scry for a while to see if anything happens. You know. For science.

[@charlesdavis5540]

OR play four-ofs, but only use cards that have a bunch of reprints so he can check the set symbol or art

[@SpektralJo]

Or use a deck completly comprised of rat colonies and get no information what so ever

[@drakeconsumerofsoulsandche5761]

Derek Gill I've tested. There is no glitch. Seth just gets really unlucky.

[@stevenyukabacera160]

Louise Drake But what about the Ponder bug

[@jimduggan]

in this instance, he scryed, then drew field of ruin, then swordtooth. not like the normal "scry bug" that i don't think exists anyways

[@danielsamaniego4462]

This is going to be my first standard deck ever. Can't wait to play it. Thank you for the awesome video

[@VTyugiohGUY]

22:00 Mountain llanowar elves XD

[@MayoIsMyInstrument]

Matt Chamberlain I always say swamp, no matter what land I play, its nice to see that he does something similar here

[@speakerd66]

After the PT he forgot about the existence of all the other basics

[@alps3DV]

Matt Chamberlain same at 29:50

[@michaelwest7823]

I play a version of this deck, I play more of a desert subtheme with excavator for the value. It also triggers hour of promise and you can keep saccing and replaying deserts. I play sightly more creatures and two of each cycling desert.

[@nialljr8329]

You missed the opportunity to play Sylvan Awakening!!

[@justdude45]

Niall Jr That’s definitely going in when I make my paper version of this deck. I don’t care how many times I lose to red/x aggro, this deck looks fun!

[@drakeconsumerofsoulsandche5761]

justdude45 you'll be losing a lot then.

[@MTGGoldfish]

Oops!

[@paulepatterson1760]

That was the first card I looked for in his deck tech. Was surprised he didn’t have it.

[@nialljr8329]

Paule Patterson Yeah that's the first card I thought of when I heard U/G lands.

[@caiomh7605]

Nezahal is uncounterable, Seth. Why are you slow rolling It in your hand versus Control?

[@moneyforshort]

I like how you have a 20/20 trampler on board and you're thinking the line is to mill out your opponent.

[@pa_3op]

This deck is very sweet, but god, what a pleasure was to watch flaming wizards (which I've got in paper a week ago) crashing through :D Thank you for that lovely burn deck, Seth, although I almost always got either flooded or screwed with it xD

[@nanoclix7435]

LOOOOL I love you man!!!! So sweet matches to watch! Three Gearhulks run over just like that!

[@MTGGoldfish]

Thanks!

[@Jacobjinglepocket]

Oh hey I tried the deck out once. I loved it, but there's just too many exile effects for Multani to be effective.

[@RhysticStudies]

this deck is amazing

[@nzivelin]

Great deck, I built it in Arena and it's a ton of fun especially against mid-range and control. well timed river's rebuke is good against aggro but the deck has no chance against mono-red.

[@seanbaumann8825]

This is the most fun standard deck I’ve seen in Dominaria. If I played competitive standard I would work on this deck.

[@redjacks09]

Great vid. I´ve been playing with a somewhat similar deck ever since dominaria came out, Sultai with 31 lands.

[@trey6883]

A one-of Walking Ballista seems like a pretty good upgrade here

[@MTGGoldfish]

I wish it wasn't so expensive :(

[@trey6883]

MTGGoldfish for sure. The good thing is that with all your card draw, you'd probably be okay playing fewer than 4 copies

[@totalcoward]

You should make this exact same deck in Arena for Goldfish Gladiators. It’s 3 cards off from being 100% Arena ready, one of which is in the sideboard and the other 2 are lands, and on Thursday it will get even better.

[@danielgehring7437]

>has a million lands and dig for land effects, land gy recursion >discards non-lands

[@mitchellmatis2173]

Made a deck like this but also with Nissa steward and Sylvan awakening. Finally decided there were too many fun cards to play and turned it into a ug lands brawl deck

[@asmrbyshimmer]

I was super happy upon realizing it was Esper control that you drew your other swordtooth. The power of two lands is strong even if it doesn't look like you won't necessarily have the lands immediately and him + multani was back breaking there.

[@MTGGoldfish]

Multani every turn is pretty good.

[@asmrbyshimmer]

MTGGoldfish Absolutely, the part that got me though was how much of a hard time they had dealing with him. A Syncopate or Vraska's Contempt would have sucked but you pretty much turned every other answer they had into "discard this card to not die an early and horrible death." Beautiful.

[@HTXVintageVibes]

Haven't even finished the tech and this is the first standard deck I've wanted to play since zombies in innistrad (original) haha. Love it. Hope it's atleast half as competitive!!!

[@brighamschellinger147]

I really love this deck though. I'd been working on a sultai version myself but I could never quite get it where I wanted it.

[@simpslayer7414]

This deck seems really fun! Great video!

[@MTGGoldfish]

Glad you liked it!

[@nicklittle8399]

22:00 I never knew that was possible until now. Wonder what the guys at my next modern tournament will think when I mountain llanowar them xD

[@jonathansnow21]

Deck looks good. I'm excited to watch!

[@jarenherald1439]

Since we saw the blossoming defense coming you could have used spire on jadelight instead. So they would have either used BD on jadelight instead of Ghalta or let it go and used BD on Ghalta. Neither of which would have been lethal.

[@TLThirteen]

49:04 put elves in front of jadelight and the other 3 infront of ghalta take 4 trample and fall to 3 life. Don't know why you scooped unless I'm missing something. Then get to deep freeze and hold up the land again to stall.

[@envysart797]

I was playing a version of this deck with 4 Ballista as a way to stave off aggro - but I think the way to go is Temur splashing for Hour of Devastation, Abrade and The First Eruption. 1 damage to all creatures plus ramp (and it's easier to splash in a wedge)

[@MTGGoldfish]

Temur splash seems pretty good.

[@envysart797]

MTGGoldfish definitely want to see what can be done with First Eruption in a ramp deck .D maybe RG ramp but splashing blue for card draw and negate?

[@Frasierlane]

I built a deck very similar to this in arena (3 Multani, 3 Tatyova), but I am a little less all in on ramp and instead play branchwalkers, jadelight rangers, and brontodons for early game interaction. The largest Multani I have had was 21/21 and it attacked through a kicked Josu Vess for lethal. Almost makes up for the dozens of times I have lost with it.

[@MTGGoldfish]

Sweet!

[@mdrkosc7992]

against aggro i find that entrancing melody work pretty well, also ranging raptors or ripjaw raptor

[@ArcStoneR]

38:05 On MTGA I played a deck that went T1 Elves, T2 Steel Leaf, T3 Steel Leaf, T4 Ghalta

[@Shoobadon52]

I really like this deck. Reminds me of your much abrew UG ramp deck. I noticed you ran some fogs in that deck. Do you think that will make a difference against aggro?

[@brighamschellinger147]

"Stunned Silence" as he loudly groans and says oh my God repeatedly.

[@SilverAlex92]

The deck was awesome!!!! You should play in stream a no budget version with karn and nissa vital force. Also is there a way of making it better against aggro?

[@GeorgeAlone2277]

49:00 I like to think Seth got up and ran around the room whilst screaming.

[@eskrimadorian]

Hey Seth, love the videos! I've been playing my own, non budget version of this deck that has been doing very well for me! Though it does look very different from your list. If you are interested, I can give you my list to try out on stream or whatever you wish. I went more for the "Turbo fog" route. Either way I love the idea behind this deck, and Tatyova is the truth. But why no Grow from the ashes? Keep up the good work!

[@eskrimadorian]

It should be added to my comment that I have been on my list for about 4-6 weeks. Glad to see someone (or anyone) finally talking about this archetype

[@heyo9549]

Seems like Blackblade Reforged would be pretty sweet in this deck. Got the lands and got a few Legendary creatures too for the cheap equip. Seems like Tatyova especially could benefit from the stat boost.

[@drakeconsumerofsoulsandche5761]

Hey O not if you draw the blackblade and nothing to equip

[@MTGGoldfish]

Might need a few more creatures.

[@cloysterd]

Pretty sure you want Naturalize against the Flame of the Keld/Bomat Courier deck. Not that it would have mattered there.

[@Holostryker]

43:15 MTG Arena autotap is apparently backwards compatible with MTGO

[@nickjoseph77]

Seth why did you not use the graveyard Multani's ability to return it to your hand with the last two open lands you had game two, two turns in a row?

[@hexsoNNNN]

Just had the best ad ever in Jurassic World after you getting stomped to death vs Mono Green Stompy and Ghalta. Thoses T-Rex, dude, thoses T-Rex. :')

[@offthewalls1203]

22 minutes in: “Mountain, Llanowar Elves” it’s called a forest, Seth 😂😂

[@runepedro]

That mono green matchup would only be lost to exactly blossoming defense, so why activate spires on ghalta if you'd not be dead to that situation? :P pretty obv they had it

[@fanhoop187]

Pedro do Valle 48:50 this situation was ripe for the patented Seth “let’s think about this “ moment. The next level play would be triple block ghalta chump jadelight wait for the defense that prolly doesn’t get cast. Go down to 2, next turn deep freeze draw out blossoming defense or pray for rivers rebuke draw, replay multani hope for not third blossoming defense. Go from there

[@fanhoop187]

Actually wait in that case Seth would still be dead if opponent let deep freeze resolve and attacked and blossoming defense on the unblocked llanowar elves the following turn. Ghalta inevitability >< so it’s either rivers rebuke or I guess hour of promise chumps

[@thatoneguy1991able]

@22:01 "Mountain, Llanowar Elves" ... wat

[@wpmer]

Richard Price he's a grammar rebel. 😎

[@drakeconsumerofsoulsandche5761]

Richard Price he's lost it

[@Viruces]

So Seth, was there a reason to not run Evolving Wilds for the Ramunap/Swordtooth/Tatyova/Multani value?

[@rayward623]

Awesome deck Seth!

[@RelaxWithRussellASMR]

I expected Sylvan Awakening in this deck Seth, is there a specific reason you're not playing it for this build?

[@avenvalco2829]

Sylvan Awakening? Nissa Vital Force for emblem? Pull from Tomorrow?

[@thurmanlincoln3612]

Yeah at 49:02 for sure you block the Ghalta first you're still alive, don't spires first. You survive at 2 life because he can't blossoming defense the Ghalta (chump with Elves on the Jadelight).

[@jancukasu]

48:45 if only we can predict the future, double deep freezing the Ghalta would be good

[@Spades20XX]

What about Nissa Steward/Elements?

[@Jonzin4BeatzNYC]

Went up against a turn 6 ghalta with my green white token deck. Next turn I attacked with a 16/16 Shanna Sisay's Legacy thanks to 7 tokens and an appeal/authority! He had to chump block lol! Felt amazing

[@substndard]

I've been trying to build this deck and in my version i thought kefnrt would be good because of bounce. I think kefnet would be great for this

[@foxyr4bbit]

would love to see you play this in non budget version!

[@GroundThing]

22:00 Ah yes, the old "mountain into llanowar elves" opening.

[@cooperburnham2359]

I've been playing a deck just like this on Arena, except I use Sylvan Awakening as a win con

[@ajanirevane7]

Where's Nissa, Vital Force?

[@LogoMotive11]

"Its like tricky Galta with reach." Yes Seth. Yes it is.

[@Chibifox]

Saffron! Why didn't you double deep freeze Ghalta after seeing the thrashing???? Seriously maaaaan! Punt!

[@DarkThomy]

I'm a bit surprised there is no wizard decks in pro tour... Or I missed them..

[@schrottinator]

I love these thumbnails.

[@bentate5718]

Did you think about playing Ghirapur Orrery?

[@hans202008]

i just watched the deck tech and didn't watch the matches yet but how does this deck beat exile effects? :P i guess ipnu only out at that point?

[@RatedTrain]

34:00 I think it would have been better to Negate the Syncopate, Commit the Scarab God and mill them with Rivulet, or at least it was an option

[@qazzaqstan]

Seth's line has a nice advantage of there are very few cards he cares about (including the in play scarab god really) so Commit denies the opponent a useful draw step.

[@Drakksy]

Do you choose what version of the card is used in the intro? It seems weird with the Jace negate and prerelease excavator lol

[@justdude45]

DrakkonVulture It provably defaults to the latest printing

[@MTGGoldfish]

Yeah, it's default. I can choose the cards, but then I have to choose all of the cards, and they are the right version like 99% of the time so it's usually not worth the effort.

[@daltoncady4038]

What would be great upgrades for the deck?

[@PancakesMcFunk]

Listening to these at halfspeed is my new favorite thing. Hilarious.....

[@bryantan4228]

Was there a reason why you aren't using Grow From Ashes?

[@MTGGoldfish]

Initially I had grow, then I realized I valued the card draw from Spring // Mind more and couldn't find room for both.

[@plasmaticfury3563]

I commented the same thing before I saw this

[@alexmohr1072]

I feel like the mending of dominaria is doing next to nothing in this deck and would switch them for grows

[@bryantan4228]

Mending shuts down mill. Your opponent doesn't need a dedicated mill deck to mill you out, they just need a couple Ipnu Rivulets. Personally, I think that this deck needs more graveyard synergies to really make Mending more than a sideboard card. Mending is great if your opponent is trying to grind you out or mill you, but it's mediocre otherwise. If this deck had a couple of those ETB explorers that would be good.

[@dusk2347]

Seth should try playing a deck or two where every card has different art. It'd be a fun deck building challenge plus he can further test the alleged "mtgo scry bug."

[@drakeconsumerofsoulsandche5761]

Dusk I've tested it. It's just bad luck.

[@martinarnold4999]

You gameplay commentary is outstanding. You remind me of Mike Erick.

[@ackerizzle]

So seth I saw that in the non budget version of the deck you added white for removal, at that point do you think its better to just run approach instead of multani?

[@MTGGoldfish]

Approach is so boring, but maybe.

[@ackerizzle]

yeah but it doesnt die to removal.

[@alexmohr1072]

Why are you taking out tatyova against control? One of the best ways to beat control is to out card-advantage them.

[@johnkotzki2138]

I think you could have won game 4,just deep the brontodon AS well,or am I missing something?

[@Sensoger]

Dude this deck is awesome

[@Tryo707]

Why not cast the Nezahal against UB?

[@johann9354]

Seth, you've now played modern Lands and standard Lands. HOW have you not played legacy Lands yet? Please Seth, its such an amazing prison-ish land destruction-ish combo-ish value-filled janky tier one deck you NEED to play it!!!!

[@MTGGoldfish]

We need to play more Legacy.

[@stephenlofton5403]

I feel like I see way too much exile recently in standard for Multani to be a reliable wincon but maybe all the mono red decks from the PT will change that. I suppose rivulet is fine but isn't a big-mana enchantment like Convergence, Splendor or even something like Zacama better if you are going this huge on mana? Then again the mono red showing was really bad here but hey that happens when your deck doesn't have relevant plays until turn 4.

[@drakeconsumerofsoulsandche5761]

Stephen Lofton for me multani is just any number of finishers. If you have preferance, use it

[@MTGGoldfish]

Yeah, the exile removal can be scary, although it usually only takes a couple of attacks for Multani to win.

[@trewilliams383]

Again this league is more representative of the Meta than the PT. And a fairly unique build sees some success. Still saying this is actually some of the best standard I've played in awhile.

[@Ocelot56]

I think a turbo land/tatyova deck in modern would be pretty sweet :p

[@toasteroven8259]

I think that you should swap out the taiyovas for sylvan awakenings

[@grizzlymanverneteil4443]

Lands? Standard? Budget? What a world we live in!

[@Valkyrie.99]

9:40

[@substndard]

Linus Westcott thank you

[@grizzlymanverneteil4443]

I love you

[@kylestack8045]

No Sylvan Awakening?

[@bossguydude]

Yo olive you should make an All land deck

[@bryantan4228]

Standard Legacy Lands

[@drakeconsumerofsoulsandche5761]

Bryan Tan how does legacy lands even win?

[@bryantan4228]

There's a land that turns into a creature permanently. They kill the opponent by cracking them with it. If they want to make your life miserable, they can also use Grove of the Burnwillows Punishing Fire to 3 mana ping you every turn. Molten Vortex is in the sideboard.

[@drakeconsumerofsoulsandche5761]

Bryan Tan that sounds miserable. I want to play it.

[@swebartender4697]

Louise Drake if I remember correctly, legacy lands are one of the most expensive deck you can play in that format

[@ShenanigansbyGamers]

So i got into mtgo because of this deck and I have been having fun just playing this deck

[@MTGGoldfish]

Awesome!

[@agamingcuber7920]

I'm working on a modern version of this deck

[@kiozkie01]

Will this still be playable after rotation? I mean what do you exchange for the deserts and hour of promise?

[@MTGGoldfish]

That's a tough one. I think there will still be enough ramp thanks to Grow from the Ashes, but there isn't really a replacement for the Deserts at this point.

[@kiozkie01]

Hey seth could you give me a rotation-proof version of this? Thanks!! Loving the content btw. Subing worth xD

[@snowfox0recozay]

Great deck and fund

[@MrMcPezza]

Evolving Wilds would work well here I think

[@renatobotao2785]

You should have had at least 2 arborback stomper in the siboard of this list or another life gain stabilizing creatures

[@alicetheferrothorn3677]

30:00 discard an island that strangely looks like a forest

[@plasmaticfury3563]

Why not use Grow from the Ashes instead of Spring

[@chriscunningham6401]

Blue dino beats! lol Always nice to see a control deck shut down.

[@Atmapalazzo]

>casts two mind >"haven't drawn our card draw" Seth, forgetting 2 minutes ago since 2015
