Seriously, Bonecrusher is a bonkers card XD

I vote to just change seth's intro to "seth, probably better known as seth, probably better known as saffron olive" every once in a while. that was hilarious

i have to do it again at some point, i’m just waiting until nobody expects it!

This was one of the more entertaining AtO videos ever. I love Seth’s laugh when it works. Nice job

[@MTGGoldfish]

Thanks!

[@overweightactor]

Yeah, people say a lot of things about Seth: That his beard is shaggy and unkempt, he's not as sexy as Vince, he kinda smells like hot dogs... But, his laugh! His laugh is adorable and infectious!

[@miguelfreitas5343]

Props to that last opponent for sticking it out :3

[@Volvary]

A thing to note for anyone willing to try this kind of decks: Against decks with a ton of nonpermanents (such as the first deck Seth played), sometimes popping a Warp World even when you aren't in the best position to keep going can win you the game simply because you are far less likely to hit nonpermanents than your opponent, which can set them way back.

[@TheJesseLeeSmith]

If you had waited for the prowess trigger to resolve at 20:32, your first Bonecrusher wouldn't have been countered.

[@Samst0n]

Especially unfortunate because he had the mana to play two giants the following turn and instead had to play the grazer.

[@BeCurieUs]

Rinbo is a hero, sticking it out that whole time

[@peter_vincent_vampire_hunter]

"Do we have to sac clues to send a message to our opponent about blocking there?" Is my favorite Seth energy 😂

[@ComfyDents]

To see the opponents face when casting warp world could actually bring me back to fnm. XD

[@JaLLaM86]

I've actually played Warp World in Standard at FNM. Did not get to see many faces that I wanted to see :-\

[@robertstiefelful]

I looooooove the great aurora. It's honestly one of my favorite green cards of all time.

[@MTGGoldfish]

It's so much fun!

[@MrSandman115]

Hey Seth, if you ever re-visit this I'd suggest replacing Arboreal Grazer with Gilded Goose. It creates an additional permanent, and while it uses that permanent to produce mana, in the late game you have something to spend spare mana on. Plus life gain from food could be relevant in corner cases. It's also a flyer, so can block some scary things in the air.

[@Mavomatic]

Ok the intro is the first thing in a long time to make me really really laugh without people around. Well done!

[@stellatedhexahedron6985]

when seth topdecked warp world halfway through game 3 of match two, i was confused because there was still like 4 minutes left in the playback bar. then i realized that the entire rest of the match was just the combo and laughed.

[@cousindonkeystudios872]

If that match 1 was in real life I would be checking opponent’s deck to make sure they weren’t playing like 8 kolaghan commands

[@Kryptnyt]

You look up at your opponent and it's Kologhan himself

[@jacktorborg9862]

This deck is EXACLTY my kind of spice haha that's amazing

[@StahliCell]

This has gone straight into my top favorites Against The Odds videos possibly ever. The basic idea of overwhelming the opponent with permanents, to then just chaotically shuffle everything back and what not, was just too funny! Thanks for all these videos, honestly I still get surprised about some of those cards even if I do know them!!

[@uucue]

OMG I enjoyed this SO MUCH!!! Lol, amazing deck, brilliant games! Sorry you have to click so much, lol

[@MTGGoldfish]

Glad you liked it!

[@bshell1731]

45:43 Some people just want to watch the world warp.

[@Graatand]

“Well congratulations, you got to 8 mana! Now what’s the next step in your master plan?” “Crashing this client. WITH NO SURVIVORS!”

[@chartreux1532]

Thanks for the great Content Seth & using TWO Cards from the Poll! I can never get enough of Against the Odds Episode focusing on Modern (And also your Legacy Panharmonicon Against the Odds Episodes) Also you recently asked on your Twitch Stream if "Penny Dreadful" is any Fun. The Answer is YES! Penny Dreadful is the perfect Format for you and anyone who enjoys Challenges of tinkering, creating Combos, using Cards everybody forgot about & make it work Just check out some of the Penny Dreadful League Results on MTGGoldfish, It doesn't get more Diverse, Against the Odds and Creative. Would love to see you dip your Toes into Penny Dreadful, i'm 100% sure you'd love it and many of us would love to see you brew and play Games in that Format Prost and Cheers from the Snow-Covered Bavarian Alps

I would love to see Seth play PD!!

[@froggystrap1232]

Such a cool deck!!!!

[@karanojin]

48:00 seth goes mad with power

[@ActionGome]

Warp World combo is my favorite jank win. Well done Seth.

[@thonk7611]

if youre open to suggestions i feel like you brought in bonecrusher every game which is generally a sign that it would be a good maindeck card

[@Cornelius135]

That isn’t true at all. Sometimes sideboard cards are brought in for most matchups because we also know our opponent is siding something in or out - nature’s claim In tron, for example, is terrible main board but comes in vs many, many decks. A sideboard card that comes in every match is not necessarily a mainboard card, and a mainboard card that comes out every match is not necessarily bad in the deck.

[@thonk7611]

@@Cornelius135 yeye i get that but in this case it's not like that kind of scenario, its more like bonecrusher giant is just one of the best cards for the main game plan in general

[@ashtonbrockway9312]

this deck is so sweet man

[@MTGGoldfish]

It's so much fun!

[@theyonlycomeoutwhenitsquiet]

I LOVE BOTH WARPED WORLD AND THE GREAT AURORA! I couldn’t smash the like button fast enough. Please do something crazy... I just have one question. Why no Valakut?

[@benjaminsouthworth5698]

Because dryad plus valakut make sense. We can't be doing that. But actually cause you'd probably just win with titans and golos plus valakut like 90 percent of the time instead of the warped aura shenanigans

[@theyonlycomeoutwhenitsquiet]

@@benjaminsouthworth5698 True. Still, less risk of decking yourself from clues if you cast the aurora.

[@wickast4941]

"I feel bad for making our opponent [a fan] sit through this." You're making us all sit through this, Seth

[@alexleblanc6364]

This was so much fun to watch, A+ for intro as usual

[@JablesTheSpartan]

Back in my days Seth was playing Great Aurora into Gaea's Revenge against salty Abzan players

[@pga128]

This was a lot of fun to watch

[@VJD85]

I feel like you should have put a one of Panharmonicon in, just for the one possible game where you warp into it.

[@hotcoldman9793]

I cannot believe this deck won at all. I love it!

The Intro is pure Gold😂

[@ParfaxGaming]

I am 10 seconds in and I must say... a fucking standing ovation for the intro lmao keep up the good work

[@jerzane5617]

I remember years ago I made a mono green The Great Aurora deck, inspried by Seth, probably better known as Seth, probably better known as SaffronOlive's Great Aurora Standard deck from even longer ago (Battle for Zendikar standard I believe). Really awesome to see a better, newer version of the spicy deck!

[@TheMindovermouth]

Did the same!

[@The8BallADP]

Yessssss! Warp world is my favorite card in all of Magic =D

[@mattleak666]

Great opening

[@JamDonut11]

Take a shot each time Seth says Warp World or Great Aurora in the start

[@lukecraig4984]

I absolutely love this deck. If I had money, this would 100% be the modern deck I play

[@王中孚]

This deck is amazing

[@TheAverageGuyTAG]

The intro should have been the Long Live the King clip from Lion King, with Warp World as Scar, MTGO as Mufasa, Seth as Simba, and all the ETB triggers as the stampede.

[@urfavoritejoel]

this would mean simba is laughing and enjoying watching mufasa die

[@ChrisWalter0517]

Great Aurora is my favorite card of all time... but damn after seeing Warp World in action i have to say it's so much better!

[@saltyBANDIT]

Out of the many intros, this one stands above most.

[@itsallenwow]

The shuffling on this deck would be crazy in paper lol

[@StahliCell]

More than the shuffling, I feel like the keeping track of all the triggers after a warp world (the tireless trackers triggers) would be muuch much harder!! Have you seen that stack after the second warp world in the last shown game? That was ridiculous!!! :D

[@DellConagerMTG]

Deck seems...good? Maybe a bit win-more, and I think more non-permanents wouldn't hurt to much...But I am %100 proxing this to play w/ freinds, thank you for this masterpiece Seth.

[@whatwayzup]

Loved the pen pineapple apple pen intro.

[@PlaneShaper2]

Waiting for the day when the video editor makes a "Gonna Need a Montage!" edit for something like Seth trying to stack triggers during Match 4.

[@42sporks5]

Idk if this is still the case bc you only resolved aurora once but there was a modo bug that shuffled the tokens into the deck and when you drew you could draw and put the tokens back, which then causes the tokens to disappear. They still counted towards your draw number though which made aurora basically unplayable. Havent checked updated penny dreadful legality but you could build a similar deck in pd. So much fun!

[@SethG27]

Love the intro

[@nathanielnizard2163]

I was unaware of this archetype and it is a big brain one, maybe it can be refined even more. I mean the list is pretty bare bone actually.

[@jenius00]

29:34 Titan in to warp. Remember this for all those times you ask the MTGO gods to give you some just one time.

[@JonaxII]

That's an interesting mono red pile there, right between burn and Ponza

[@Tyrisalthan]

I have same kind of warp world deck, with primeval titan and tireless tracker. But instead of great aurora I have Chancellor of the forge as the other big payoff. It is good in your opening hand as it makes a free token, it's good as a ramp target as it is a big creature and makes a bunch of tokens, and it is absurd as you warp because when you stack it last it makes a huge number of hasty tokens that can kill your opponent on the spot. I have like 3 eternal witnesses to ensure that you can warp as many times in a row as you want, so the coast should be clear to attack when you are done warping. Also pretty much every land (and ramp) except khalni garden comes in play untap so you have as much mana as possible after you warp. I also run a Valakut, the molten pinnacle, to have an alternative way to victory if attacking is not an option. So there is sort of valakut-titan route to play the deck if things go that way, since there is lots of ramp in the deck anyway to it to be effective. The deck plays pretty good midrange game with tracker and witness granting card advantage, with option to ramp into huge effects later. It is pretty sweet to win real decks with it, highly recommend to everyone!

[@sultanbaba1230]

would be cool if you guys could work out a warped aurora based commander deck 😊 and make a video on it of course 😬

[@ArcStoneR]

26:15 “We will be respectful.” Continues to pass the turn instead of casting Stomp while stating his opponent is at 2.

[@anthonyanderson2161]

something that could've let u go even bigger with a few of your warp worlds is when u saw a warp world/aurora on top with courser: crack a clue to draw it then u wouldnt have had to skip so many titan/golos triggers etc :)

[@uranium54321]

32:47 - this board after 2 warp worlds is kinda giving me “Level 1 crook vs. Level 99 Mafia Boss” vibes

[@adammat13]

According to mtgos manual, pressing 7 (Might be f7, I don't use mtgo) before clicking a trigger would stack all triggers of the same kind automaticly, so you don't have to scroll through like you did.

Is there a reason for no field of the dead for more zombies to count towards the amount you get back from the warps

[@natejablonski]

Yes! Also not a baseball fan! Yet another reason to like Saffron Olive.

[@thonk7611]

i think first opponent just heard to always kolaghans command on draw step and never realized why the pros did it, its to hit the one card people draw then. doing it when your opponent has cards in hand gives them the choice of what to discard, which is not great

[@miguelfreitas5343]

Why not a one of fun of Field of the Dead? :p This deck ramps a hell of a lot and more tokens means more Great Aurora/Warp World permanents

[@margibso]

9:35 this transition is really jarring. Also, why no Arbor Elf? Seems way better than grazer.

[@williamwisneskey5029]

Grazer adds permanents to the field, enabling the deck.

[@Samst0n]

Also with how prominent prowess is right now having your ramp not die to a lava dart is nice

[@MTGGoldfish]

I'll let the editor know about the transition. As for Arbor Elf, it only adds one permanent to the battlefield while Grazer adds two.

[@brandonwoodward6225]

maybe that one desert that ETB pings opp for 1 could be playable as a 1-of in this deck? it seems useful as a win condition in the case you are infinitely casting warp world/great auroras
