Paying All My Life to Phyrexian Processor! | Historic Magic: the Gathering (MTG)

Who wins: - An hulking phyrexian construct, bred from the guts of an hellish plane and concocted from the blood of the innocent - One ratty boi

Nashi my beloved

[@ntemage3395]

As soon as he said "pay down to one" I really wanted to watch to see if there is a spike field hazard blowout

[@erfunk]

A few weeks ago, playing EDH, a friend cast Processor and put himself to 1 playing Brion Stoutarm. He sac'd, went to gain back the life, and the tapped out Ragavan player Gut Shot him in response! Sped up the 5p game quite a bit.

[@Doctor_Strange_But_Bad_At_MTG]

@@erfunk that sounds like the best thing ever lmao. But honestly if I was the person playing the Processor I would be mad as hell

[@thedude5able]

@@Doctor_Strange_But_Bad_At_MTG I mean, someone called your bluff, and you lost. Sounds about right to me.

He would love that

[@muditjohar5323]

I love the confidence in the opponent not remembering that guardian idol can be a 2/2. Confidence for the win!

[@colinbrown5646]

I think the confidence was actually the opponent not thinking Seth was dumb, and had an answer if they did power up the 2/2.

[@brennanmack563]

@Colin Brown I'm not super familiar with historic. Is there even a 0 mana answer in the format?

[@ВалентинТерентьев-п4р]

@@brennanmack563 No. There is a 0 mana counterspell in the format, but with severe drawback, and it can't target activated abilities, so not an option.

[@Alex-ht8ss]

That Mana Tithe was absolutely soul rending...

[@derrickthewhite1]

It was awesome! Can Seth really complain about being mana tithed?

[@Alex-ht8ss]

When it happens, its glorious. Because you never see it coming lmao

[@derekcline950]

Seth really needs to keep the Mana Tithe counter around even if he isn't playing it

[@brandonchristner1520]

Something about seeing Seth get hit with Mana Tithe is hilarious

[@deshka7563]

Seth's enthusiasm for janky brews is super infectious. Best mtg content creator around!

[@gregorlangemeier4116]

Match 4: Opponent: I'm not afraid of you(r crackle with power)! Seth: Then you will die braver than most.

[@victorperron8092]

Today I learned that a good Phyrexian Processor Deck is a deck that doesn't draw it's Phyrexian Processor

[@seanclark4071]

That last game is why you ALWAYS have to make your opponent have it, even if you are 99% sure they have the answer, make them have it

[@Dareianrc36]

I know this deck was meant to be a meme mostly but I think playing slightly more conservatively would increase the win rate of the deck. Like against burn, you didn't need to pay that much life lol. What does red do to a 6/6 or 7/7 every turn? Gaining 6-7 and drawing that much is still game ending against burn. Idk maybe I'm reading too much into it. Great vid as always!

[@TheAlexdodd]

agreed, but it's youtube, gotta make the content.

[@weirddan455]

49:40 Outside of maybe some very strange game state, lethal attackers should always attack the opponent rather than a planeswalker. Here you can kill the Nissa either way. The 19/19s go face forcing opponent to block both. The other 3 creatures attack Nissa but opponent can only block 1 so Nissa dies and opponent is forced to chump. If you just swing all at Nissa, they don't have to chump.

[@shinymetalassassin]

45:29 Bluff of the century! I can't believe that worked!

[@MTGGoldfish]

Me either, lol

[@ODIRGO]

In match 3 Seth explaining ways to make a more convoluted game in several more turns, just when the opponent surrends. Me in my head "or just use brotherhood's end, then attack and win".

[@MarkJGGs]

That sideboard heroic intervention seems like it would be good against mono removal tribal

[@javierflipper2524]

I love this gameplay, I really appreciate when a player uploads both their wins and losses, most just edit and upload their wins, you're great keep it up Greetings from Chelyabynsk

[@razvanrusan9319]

Sweet deck! I think it would benefit from running a Tamiyo's Safekeeping to protect selvala and the processor from removal / bounce effects.

[@B-Ran_the_Man]

22:30. Best part of the video. No doubt!!

[@jasongray435]

Haha, I saw this comment before I watched the video. When I saw the event, I thought that must've been it and came back and saw the time you posted. Haha, sure was!! Poor Seth, but you love to see it! :)

[@alaraplatt8104]

ur truly a very skilled deckbuilder... if i had any idea this was the build for processor i definitely would've voted for it

[@xddddddddddddd]

i mean the other options are janky heroic / fling style deck or incomplete slivers (yuck) or yet another forsakenmonument.dek, easy choice honestly even if seth ends up just going to play angels

[@alaraplatt8104]

[@RPBiohazard]

Same lol. This exceeded all my expectations

[@arthurkeech]

Absolute awesome. That is a way cooler processor deck then I thought you would make

[@mtgoly6518]

This is rad, reminds of Caleb Ganon's pauper storm deck that used delve creatures and 1 mana spells that sac a creature for mana = power. 🤙

[@maxfawcett143]

Fishelbrand? I run that one, it's so much fun

[@TheREALTheRealAdam]

What are you gonna do, crackle me? -Opponent about to be crackled

[@mostlyholy6301]

Processor is unironically good in Soul Sisters. Sad you missed the opportunity to play Arena's favourite deck.

[@christiansaunders7858]

The way I play this card is in combo with Eternity Vessel. Play Eternity Vessel, 20 counters, play Phrexian Processor, play land back to 20.

[@MTGGoldfish]

Ohh, I like it! You can gain the life back immediately with a land drop (although sadly Eternity Vessel isn't on Arena yet). Sounds awesome for a Commander deck though.

[@christiansaunders7858]

@@MTGGoldfish Yup, that's where I've got it currently. ha ha

[@VRanger100]

That's a sweet brew. Could see the strategy working pretty well in a Gruul+ EDH deck if someone wanted to have a jankier style win condition.

[@TheLunaLockhart]

the frequency with which I hear "brothershood end" instead of "brotherhood's end" on youtube is stunning

[@tbomb50]

So the brothers end in the hood?

[@sadfsdafsdfasdfasdfs]

50:12 Two 19/19 tokens should attack opponent, not Nissa

[@jaxsonbateman]

Just made a post saying the same thing. I get that Seth is in super-casual mode for this one, but that was clearly a bad attack.

[@brennanmack563]

Processor was my favorite card for the longest time when I first got into MTG. I had just the most atrocious deck built around it and Angelic Chorus to mitigate the life loss. Thank you Seth for rekindling my love of this jank card.

[@abheekpandya8717]

You can make this deck mono green if you use Finale of Devastation as the finisher

[@boontish1104]

Right? I read the write up and was like "What do you mean there are no green finishers??". Not only is it a finisher, but it also finds combo peices.

[@AlexaderOckham]

The bluff with the IDOL!?" Thats just insane

[@ELFudgeOreos]

I know the Phyrexian Processor is more repeatable but you can accomplish similar things with Daemogoth Woe-Titan in that 4 mana slot.

[@lushG678]

That mana tithe was hilarious

[@NStripleseven]

“We are playing mono-green…” *has crackle with power in hand*

[@sirusburningham4521]

1:31 "Sevala draws us soes cards, but *more importantly*" ...Seth, are you feeling okay?

[@roberteaves5108]

Finale of Devastation would be a good green finisher

[@jaxsonbateman]

With the Nissa attack with your whole board, the correct play was to attack face with the tokens, and attack Nissa with everything else. Two tokens at face forces away two blockers, or else opponent dies. That leaves one ground blocker for both your Stomper and Elf, meaning you lose your elf while permanently getting rid of one of their creatures (from the face attack). As you did it, they could have killed your Elf and Stomper while not taking out any of their creatures.

[@diabeticmonkey]

Ah, reminds me of Finkle v Maher. The pain of unsleeved duals and grim monoliths

[@shorty1815]

When I saw the poll, I was pitying you for having to play this. But the deck seems actually playable! Good job, Seth!

[@gurkyembrio8437]

Impressive how tilt-proof he is during match 1. Still, very cool deck.

[@starmanda88]

How do you not get tilted lmao there were several times I was angry on your behalf 🥴 I respect you very much Seth

[@ryanhebertson7457]

I would probably run banefire instead of inferno against control. Inferno is still vulnerable to interaction

[@Playsion126]

I won the first ever game of MTG I played against my dad and a friend of his with Phyrexian processor paying 8 live. We used nuts as tokens. I still remember that match well. That's why I clicked seeing the processor in the thumbnail

[@HomeCookinMTG]

I have been waiting for somebody to build around this card. I tried it in a blue white control shell with Teferi Who slows the sunset to untap it and stuff but I couldn't get it to work

[@danielquigley2695]

3:10 - Finale of Devastation??? Otherwise known as magic card I can't afford in real life.

[@DGDevastation]

Mannn, Seth you could have played Walking Ballista since it's Historic. Then you could have kept it Mono Green!! But, I digress, good video regardless lol

[@cuddlequeen3225]

This was a struggle but it's cool when it works

[@Kolbalt266]

Thoughts on +1 Kazuul's Fury and -1 valakut awakening for a throw at face win

[@AllTop507]

OMG it's tOpiary. Like OOOH. Like the letter O. Like a topiary. Like the card. The picture on the card is the definition of the word. T - oh - pee - airy. Besides that great video:)

[@maxwellhelmberger4923]

Why not Banefire? That's uncounterable and doesn't get hit by removal.

[@albertosartini]

I'm also wandering why. I guess crackle and Inferno are more valuable when not being used as combo finishers, but I'd at least have one in the sideboard for the blue-black matchups.

[@MTGGoldfish]

Hmm, yeah, that might be better than the other finishers.

[@ChaosForce08]

Also thinking the same thing, though Inferno showed its worth as a ramp target alongside Selvala in M3 G1 with the Firebreathing paying for itself and drawing a card. Banefire would have looked really mopey in that game.

[@JediMB]

Since I have a few fresh copies of Phyrexian Processor from Brothers' War, I kinda feel like building a classic Trostani deck for EDH.

[@sagelwi09]

[@williamkeiser7562]

This made me start thinking of children of korlis, then think of ways to get multiples down and try to bring them back for lots of life gain off a processor. If anything, It's a cheaper way to recuperate the life loss.

22:25 i cried laughing my a** off XD reversed positions are delicous XD

[@stevekeenan9673]

First draft facing this I had artifact removal and was meh....the 2nd draft I didn't have removal and then realized it was each turn. And got stomped

[@spegynmerbles3993]

I remember my friend had this card in a deck and made a 19/19. I bolted him. He removed said card from his deck

[@SoulofStorm333]

I'm kinda confuse if you really need to add red for the lates game threat. i known the whole game plan is the big mana combo, but i feel like just making sure processor make it to the table, with you not too low, and keep making 10/10 would have been enough ? And a real mono-green would have allowed you to not have so many pain land ?

[@OsvaldoChannel1]

Isn't Kiora+Nykthos really good in this shell? Kiora draws cards and untaps both Selvala and Processor and Nykthos helps getting there with the mana as this combo is quite mana intensive

[@MrZell324]

My trostani loves this card

Regarding the idol bluff, I mean.

[@gcleeman]

That's not a bluff that is your opponent missing lethal you need some way to interact with your opponent, like having open mana.

[@RPBiohazard]

That bluff and the fact it worked was the stupidest thing I have ever seen. Great video A+

[@jms4979]

Sometimes I hear the ATO deck tech and I'm like "oh, sweet, that combo is fragile but it could steal some games out of nowhere!" Other times, I see the deck tech and I'm like "lol omg that plan is terrible". I'll let y'all guess which category I see it in for a "combo" that involves paying 4 mana and 10+ life to not even affect the board state 😅😅😅 Love it anyway. Thanks for playing these decks so we don't have to, Seth!

[@CanadianBaconPwnage]

I don't see a Fling effect in that 75. I'm disappointed in you Seth. :P

[@deankrahling6060]

He sideboarded out a crackle with power every game, why not just take it out for a boardwipe/fog effect?

[@ramonescamilla803]

That 100% was not a bluff. You punted and recovered the ball on a fumble 😅

Isn’t this just Channel Fireball?

[@mcintyre0591]

A lot of green pips, surprised there isn't at least 1 Nykthos
