I Built a Haunted House Out of Magic Cards | Against the Odds

[@PhaseZero-cq6ow]

"There is no emote that describes my pain." I felt that.

[@elsewhereprince3969]

Even within my sophisticated lexicon I find my words lacking.

[@johngeralt]

you can just hear Crim laughing through that game.

[@evaman0182]

Misery is back on the menu

[@albatrossjohnson]

No crowdsurf the karn was a disappointment

[@TargetPractice792]

@@albatrossjohnson I'm not sure if Crim has his Crowdsurf Karn on their alt accounts. However, still a flavor loss

[@MrMeszaros]

Yeah, Yeah, but that game was not very fun... rather annoying :/

[@mark_b2]

Would have been nice to see game if Seth was not color screwed

[@loach5348]

I cannot WAIT to see that match from Crim POV

[@jaythepizza7600]

Was funny

[@TransformersBoss]

“Alright guys, welcome to Single Scoop, today we’re gonna be playing Mill with Abhorrent Oculus. Our main plan is to mill our opponents, but we can also mill ourselves to play the Oculus. Oh, hey! It’s Seth! What’s he up to? Oh, is he playing Rooms? Ok, we got this.”

[@pokebosskingcoder1012]

SETH v CRIM. Battle of the legends! I've been waiting for this for so long.

[@jvt3888]

I heard them talking about this Monday on the podcast and was desperately hoping it had been recorded somewhere. We’re blessed

[@mopanda81]

jank has no game against criminology

[@thejevilhimself]

happy birthday!! (assuming the 1012 in ur username is 10/12 and that's ur birthday)

[@not_a_can]

I like he how he says "Crimmm noooo" like he's scolding his dog XD

[@RonJohn551]

Cant wait to see Crims video with him cackling like a hyena

[@nickbenstead7285]

"Oh no, it's Crim."

[@D_A_D_]

He has that effect on people.

[@chrissevert527]

watched the whole intro with my head twisted to the left

[@menge301]

It would have been super nice if the cards were rotated to be readable. (Edited for tone)

[@wigglepants]

Nah, gotta bring back that taco neck nostalgia.

[@TheKillerman3333]

I agree with you. I like reading the cards.

[@jellywillreturn]

Horizontal cards my beloathed

[@megapixzel]

Watched the decktech with my phone sideways lol

[@TrashGnome]

😂

[@KCGregor]

So excited I finally paired into you today Seth! That was a really fun match, hopefully I make your video!! I was on the Golgari Delirium/Reanimator deck!

[@michaelgadbaw4780]

Seth you were absolutely correct on your suspicions about abhorrent oculus!! I've been using since it's release and it's an absolute bomb. Being only 3 mana you can reanimate it with super cheap white spells or find a way to put it face down with all the manifest dread and cloak available in blue/green. Can't wait to see the video about this card you will smash the competition. The simic build I've made gives you way more card advantage with all the manifest dread whereas the azorious build gives you speed and some better removal options with you being able to get the oculus out turn 2 sometimes.

[@Alexhandre13]

Of course Crim is playing a blue mill control deck to tilt the crap out of people, I love him.

[@triplea657aaa]

Glad to see some others experimenting with some otterstorm. Enduring vitality + stormsplitter is nuts xD

[@somethingknew9152]

My favorite against the odds decks are the ones that feel like someone who just got really lucky at a draft

[@Cameron-ds9xs]

Been thinking about this deck, thanks. Glad I’m watching on my iPad so I don’t need to read sideways.

[@metalmarlett1418]

Love the vids Seth! Thanks for being the best creator for so many years.

[@blaze3422160]

This is one of the few decks out of duskmourn that I thought could be really interesting either as a commander deck or just standard.

[@Sylvr369]

Thanks Seth, now my head is on sideways from watching the Intro and trying to read the rooms. I can only use one half of my headset now, and I might never be able to take this shirt off again.

[@ThisReallyArmorsMyCore]

I just want to mention how much I enjoy the detailed deck explanation before starting. It's definitely one of my favorite things about the Seth, better known as SaffronOlive, videos. Thanks for the hours upon hours of entertainment!

[@rykx0r]

21:34 My favorite part of the video. Love it when the Dimir Dominator, the Mad Lad of Mill, THEAsianMTG Crim gets the W.

[@paulomattos5876]

50:30 is the moment you thank god for farewell being rotated

[@josephboltz2860]

That was just crim-inal 😂

[@owenhenahan8658]

I've been running my own 5 color rooms deck with Leyline of the Guildpact and it has helped tremendously with mana screw. Timeless Lotus is also a very good one-or-two of if you don't want to go that route

[@blabik]

If you lean into the ghostly dancer combo, you can add couple copies of Bitter Reunion to loot better hand, and once you get bunch of spirits, you can haste them all for 1 mana and swing for lethal in one turn

[@catnipdavesscratchingpost1422]

HOLD ME CLOSER GHOSTLY DANCER. COUNT THE CANDLES DOWN THE HALLWAY. LAY ME DOWN IN SHEETS LINEN. WE PLAYED A JANKY GAME TODAY.

[@DrakeAMV]

I understand it's probably frustrating but I've been waiting to see you two run into each other for a long time.

[@ub1486]

I wish the cards were rotated to make them easy to read in the intro

[@KeganKirby]

1:58 bottomless what now seth? Lol

[@atingley0913]

I was just about to comment this 😂

[@pedrosaenz5520]

I love how Seth sounds soo over Crim shenanigans

[@sampy1004]

If you make this into a Commander deck, you need to include Door to Nothingness for flavor

[@MrTheEstes]

Are we not going to talk about Tarnation vEhsta?

[@jeffreywest292]

I swear he just does it for the comments. Nobody is that bad at words. Lol.

[@nerocapro4319]

Crim be Crimmin

[@connorkennedy1794]

What a fun video. A cool deck, with surprising big combo turns, and a Crim ambush.

[@AtrociousNightmare]

Crim you absolute troll legend XD I love him, and I love Seth

[@Allodan678]

As far as thumbnail art goes, this one takes the cake

[@dubsinthetubs]

16:47 Fear of Impostors probably does die to the thing it summons 90% of the time, but I think the main benefit of using it is when you have the enchantress payoffs. The worse scenario is the time you give your opponent something they actually want to flip

[@newmerek]

Loved the game against Crim!

[@xSNAKE2423x]

I'm building her as a commander! Can't wait!

[@erisdiscordia5429]

Cappybara floating in water was the correct emote for that crim game.

[@webbc99]

Love your work, Seth!

[@SmugLookingBarrel]

It was pretty funny to randomly run into Crim ...doing the most Crim things imaginable.

[@nachoneitzscheese]

Yessssss I was hoping that game vs Crim had been recorded! I had been looking forward to watching that since hearing Seth talk about it on the podcast this Monday lol!

[@SpiritAnimalGO]

Dude sweet deck. This was one of your cooler ones!!

[@fawntox8899]

5 colour cycling with Marina and a bunch of enchantments with cycling and the effects like astral slide/drift and eescape protocol seems really fun

[@gfisch72]

Pulled the win con room in draft, glad to see a full deck that uses it. Really want to try this out!

[@cr0wmatic]

What's interesting is it seems that if you have the Room win in place, you also got the board win by default.

[@matthewludivico1714]

Keys to the House? Seems like a must have card for a Rooms type of deck.

[@NeoSamurai13]

"There is no emote that describes my pain" should be an emote.

[@sbuttons]

Seth and Crim doing 1v1s on arena is content I'd love to see more of

[@superdimentiobrolyX]

i really hope we get a video of crim playing that mill deck and laughing at torturing seth

[@phillipschwab6691]

Awesome gameplay! I played Jeski Rooms for thr pre release. Went 3-1. Got Vendrell in my prize packs. Building her as a commamder

[@newmerek]

I don't know if Crim posted a video from his side yet but should link to it.

[@Atmapalazzo]

Every time you play furnace room I think back to "Sweet Home" for the Famicom.

[@BrenSheenan]

The funniest part of the Seth vs Crim match is that Crim played like 8 games with that mill deck and lost pretty much all of them except this one

[@mopanda81]

the ghostly dancer mirror room fractured realm combo is very sweet

[@ThatoneGuy-ts7xd]

Haunted House of Cards Sounds like a really out there concept album

[@Latman2k]

when one of your coworkers is trolling you at work

[@crazycappie]

we need Seth's face during the CRIIIMMMM as a reaction gif

[@TheLetterJ0]

Every time I hear "Marina Vendrell," I always think "isn't that the lady from Frozen?"

[@Volbeat1117]

"I don't like this panharmonicon for the reason you'd think" *proceeds to explain why he likes the panharmonicon for exactly the reason I think*

[@stonerainproductions]

My favorite version of "hold me closer" was from the 80"s when someone said (I forgot who sadly) "Hold me closer Tony Danza." I think this deck needs to be called Tony Danza now😂. Edit: It was from Friends and I misremembered. Still funny.

[@TheDamianMichaels]

I like how Crim's name is "TheAsianMTG" as if he's the only Asian to ever play the game, lol

[@TheSymsky]

Hey Seth, great video but it would've been nice if when you explained the card's utility to have them flipped around so it would be easier for us to follow along !

[@Egovinco98]

i really hope we get a horizontal view of room cards for future videos

[@athko]

oh ghostly dancers is incredible in this deck

[@cjfeinberg7613]

At 42:42, couldn't you have started with Central Elevator and tutored for Restricted Office? Tarnation Vista gave you the second white source, and it wouldn't have even killed the dancers. Also, the song for Ghostly Dancers isn't Tiny Dancers, it's Once Upon a December.

[@peskywombat4915]

I’ve been working on a deck idea I call Boris Basic Check for historic where you use the Jolly Ballon Man to copy cards like white orchid phantom and krenkos buzzcrusher to destroy all your opponents lands.

[@Admiral_Golbez]

Rooms actually look super fun, ghosts seem crazy.

[@zigzag2370]

if we had oblika to get more upkeeps on our second main phase not only could we win In the middle of our turn but also get all the triggers again from the rooms while we weree waiting to unlock enough rooms to win

[@Shimatzu95]

I feel like cutting a color (except for a basic and another fixing land maybe) would increase consistency. I'd say either black or red would be easirst to cut.

[@thenumbernurturer4066]

I love the rooms, but definitely need to cut probably 2 colors, and bring the average mana costs down. 5 color deck with almost no fixing, almost no ramp, doesn't do anything but maybe cast a single removal spell or possibly 2, for 4 turns is... not playable. How many games did you actually have to play to get a few wins with this on ladder?

[@StahliCell]

Ghostly dancers was such a powwerhouse in draft, I was LUCKY to have the removal for it every time but it was scaaaary!!

[@whitehawkomega]

I'm surprised Crim didn't BM spam emotes at you as he was destroying you, it's kinda his MO.

[@NathanielSimpson1481]

Layline of mutation could be interesting with tarnation vista, add a couple of the others and there maybe a combo there

[@RiKSh4w]

50:25 Isn't Planar Cleansing in that arena only starter deck cards 'set' that's always legal? That would do the job.

[@Jaguar2100]

"There is no emote that describes my pain." Real truth being dropped here.

[@Battleguild]

Shame that Crim wasn't playing 5 Color Battles.

[@DemonBlanka]

I actually played this at pre release in temur and won 3-0 with only the alt wincon. It was surprisingly versatile.

[@kithkindeck]

Can we get another episode of ''Phonetics with Seth''? I too would like a tutorial on the correct way to pronounce Manrina Vendrall's name.

[@xandero8444]

Tarnation Vista is looking a lot better in rooms than Three tree city looked in any of the Bloomburrow typal decks, I feel.

[@nym053]

Haha when this deck gets going, it really gets going

[@meshuggahshirt]

Not gonna lie, kinda disappointed that at no point did Seth tell anyone to get a room

[@rayc7777]

I nearly broke my neck tryna read these room cards 😂

[@ronaldking1054]

I wouldn't be surprised if he also had the excavator from black that leaves you with 6 cards as a way to make his deck mill better.

[@Patarach]

My neck hurts trying to figure out what these cards do. Wotc is doing a good job making me want to read these cards even less.

[@mikemoyer8162]

You're never gonna hear the end of losing to mindskinner.😂

[@catnipdavesscratchingpost1422]

Blue Card Baby, Combo Piece Lady, a Win Con for the fans. Errie eyed, Wild smile, being played by a "Johnny" man A Ghostly Dancer in my hand.

[@claramonti3889]

“Aaaand welcome back to the ‘I Pronounce Card Names Wrong on KZbin So I Get More Comments’ Show, with our special guest, Bumberfitch Cumbersome, who’s playing ‘Chiapet of Lycra’”

[@Kyronex0]

I wonder if it might be viable to just go Azorius and focus in on the Ghostly Dancers/Mirror Room combo, it went crazy every time he pulled it off

[@controlaltdeleteish]

Seth's just out here playing commander

[@loganshy2570]

great episode Mr. SaffronOlive

[@jeff99909]

41:56 Could you not have double blocked the nemesis and killed it, taken 3, go to 2 then half to 1? Or does double blocking do double damage instances? I don't think it does

[@verdiss7487]

TIL basic lands are colorless. I thought you were missing the fact that basic lands would power up your tarnation vistas, but nope, that's not how that works.

[@MrCrisTheRo]

I love alternative wincon decks.

[@TheLunaLockhart]

cool! mildly maddening how I can't tell if you're saying tarnation vista or tarnation vesta lol

[@TheLunaLockhart]

oh my god the reaction to matching up against crim is GOLDEN!!! xD

[@EvilestBig]

Hold me closer tiny dancerrr lmao

[@crovax17]

:⁠-⁠) My ass that hasn't played magic since Lorwyn trying to understand what's going on. We had split cards in invasion I think fire and ice ect but damn.....

[@adamtobiasz8793]

I will make this deck on paper and claim it as my own. There is nothing you can do about that.

[@piershollott339]

I'm strangely disappointed that rooms weren't a theme in MKM, the Clue set, and that DSK doesn't have a wall subtheme. Like, Tyvar, just punching a bunch of different kinds of walls.

[@OGNoNameNobody]

MASSIVE punt on Seth part in the mill match. The fact that he didn't even check his 'yard to see what he lost was a major slip of disipline.

[@Kringly9]

Just a thought, would be nice if the rooms were turned sideways in the into so we don't have to tilt our heads to read them
