The new Fable of the Mirror Breaker sound effect sounds a lot like a motorcycle driving past a house...

[@hiimemily]

haha gobbo go vroom

[@WhammeWhamme]

It didn't matter when I saw it, but for anyone reading this: with Yorion, if you play a second one always keep the older Yorion, because then the new Yorion's trigger can exile the first one and you get to blink everything *again* in your end step. :)

[@mythictank5817]

Seth, they got invasion of Alara off of Incarnation by searching for a clone that can copy any permanent

[@natejablonski]

Yeah, they discarded Clever Impersonator to hand size in Game 2. That's probably what they grabbed.

[@ChaosForce08]

@@natejablonski You can tell that's what they grabbed when Seth mouses over their Alara copy.

Ha, yeah. Losing to Mono-Green is annoying, but beating it is sweet.

[@konnborgbraidzor465]

I'm playing a deck very like this in Historic at the minute, only I'm running All Will Be One. It makes all invasions shoot your opponent (or their stuff) for damage equal to their defence counters every time they ETB. If you survive to Yorion with All Will Be on the battlefield, you'll usually oneshot someone. Very fun.

[@MTGGoldfish]

Ohh, that sounds like a fun finisher. I like it!

[@rykx0r]

Watching SO spend so much time juggling battles only to get punched in the face by Greasefang reminded me of the sword/gun scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark. Sometimes simple is better.

[@MTGGoldfish]

[@Ragnarok633]

That second match was hilarious. He puts together this massive rube goldburg machine of battles, flickering and value and everything and then...Greasefang Parhillion smash.

[@zacharybarbanell1064]

In match 4, shoulda tarkir'd the reflection and ossified the token, not the other way around.

[@natejablonski]

It would be another card in the graveyard for escape card purposes (Kroxa), and he hadn't seen Invoke Despair in this match yet. I can see the argument either way, but I think Seth did it right.

[@tommygol15br]

@@natejablonski no way. His main way to get rid of Kroxa is to exile with an Ossification. And even without Invoke it's wrong if you have flicker effects like Yorion

[@deadded5793]

Totally agree

[@daktastik]

yep, also should have kept the Elesh Norn, too. Flipping Tarkir with Yorion was just a chump blocker in the end. Could've double tutored, double drawn with Omnath, double remove with Skyclave... tough matchup though

[@KarmicMishap]

At 22:00 we get to see the rarely noticable editing. Counting from 1 to 11 clicks in a snap is much appreciated. Sweet deck!

[@EthanBeattie-wh4zx]

1:02:05 Just so you know Seth, you're still probably alive if they Sheoldred here. You have a Sheoldred under the Ossification, meaning you can blink it with Yorion, force the opponent to legend rule a Sheoldred, then exile the remaining one when the Ossification returns. Obviously in the end it didnt matter because they had Davriel, but still worth keeping in mind.

[@benjiboy1337]

Match two, I didn't even think about that - Scavengers is basically another Soulflayer, but slower to grow and it becomes bigger. You can get a lot more consistency into your Soulflayer deck now.

[@fosterdawson7339]

One thing id recommend is turning the battles sideways so we can read them at the start

[@jacobbaird1180]

I loved the when Polukranos rotates reference

[@lordmeep5803]

This deck is hilarious because battles are So bad, you can literally blink a dozen of them and the thing that actually wins the game is Kiki+mom

[@abeargriffin4772]

Watching the absolute DECK-worth of triggers was so satisfying!

[@triopsate3]

Reminder that keeping the old Yorion when you get a 2nd one out means that you can target the old Yorion with the new Yorion's trigger which gets you another Yorion trigger at the end of your turn when it returns.

[@YouTuber20024]

13:01 I second this!

[@mokonaman]

Seth I hope that phone number on your hand isn't going to be a concern that others see it. Always love your content

[@MTGGoldfish]

Ha, it's not :)

[@KebbieG]

Match 4 game 3 against Rakdos. You should have ossification the goblin token and tarkir the fable, so when you can blink again there is nothing under ossification. Later on it killed you with invoke despair giving them back a fable.

[@MTGGoldfish]

Yeah, I think you are right. I wasn't expecting Invoke, but I think that was probably still the correct play.

[@bminus7377]

Just put, like, one Etali in there.

[@Nicc11221]

There's always a new best deck in the format when ever Seth beats a known deck with a brew. Gotta love this guy =)

[@StevenLong]

I have made so many decks about explosive value ETB, especially with Brilliant Restoration. This deck made that part of my heart happy.

[@TunnelSnakesrule13]

It's honestly incredible that I'm all on on enchantments and I've never really even looked at fable. I'm mostly just proud of red for actually having a good enchantment.

[@daktastik]

Love your intros lately with Fable. Not sure if it's too strong for Pioneer/Explorer, but I'd shed no tears if it ate a ban there

[@xsadvillainx1499]

Pulled Yorion in a MoM draft and made a deck built around flickering ETB creatures and battles. I went 1 & 3 but I had a LOT of fun with it.

[@MaxMckayful]

This deck is the epitome of "tell me you like Panharmonicon without telling me you like Panharmonicon"

[@GameUnCrafter]

Bear has transformed into phyrexian dog hulk

[@MTGGoldfish]

[@ther3aper561]

Them getting invoke at 55:02 is why you always ossify the goblin token and not the fable at 53:25

[@ChaosForce08]

16:45 Punished by not having an Invasion of Azgol to search for.

[@MTGGoldfish]

Yeah, probably worth it.

[@Mastblood]

After watching this deck, all i can say is ive never seen a deck pop off as much as this one and do literally nothing to advance towards winning the game. All the battles do is draw cards, ramp, or destroy things. None of them actually kill the opponent. He needs a 1 of card to tutor for with ikoria or something to actually win the game.

[@enmanuelrondon9700]

There are battles that burn, he just didn't run them

[@AaronRotenberg]

It needs an All Will Be One or something.

[@MTGGoldfish]

The real winner is whoever blinks the most battles ;)

[@Uzotrups]

[@locwul]

You thought it was a dredge deck but it was me! Greasefang!

[@HomeCookinMTG]

Damn lost to a hexproof guy. If only there was a battle you could put in your 5 color battle deck that made your opponent sacrifice a creature OR planesalker as it's etb or something. That would be crazy.

[@allanturmaine5496]

Greasefang with extra steps was fun to watch.

Ossification in a 5 color deck 😵‍💫

[@okun7555]

Why oh why doesn't this play All Will Be One???

[@Chubbies34]

47:10 “let’s take a bad card just to discard” instead of taking the osification to just take the kroxa

[@henrye3935]

If you use the kiki to copy your goblin token it's mana neutral, so you can get in more damage. This happened multiple times.

I think you should let the leyline binding ability resolves, then cast your own leyline and get more value of the exiled invasion of alara, cause its an etb

[@silenceofallthings]

You chose all the best battles, except the one that makes opponent sacrifice a creature =D Loved the deck, but I would of sideboarded, or even maindecked, the sacrifice battle. So much janky hexproof in that format, so you can destroy most things and force a sacrifice for things you can't target. Great as always though!

[@jeremysette3657]

Trigger trigger, trigger trigger, double trigger, stuff, trigger trigger

[@theprogressivecynic2407]

You should add more Invasion of Tolvada, because there is a really strong combo with it and Yorion. You get a Yorion in the graveyard, resurrect it with the Invasion, bounce the Invasion with Yorion, and then get a second resurrection for free. My Yorion + Battle deck is actually based on a Doom Foretold shell, and it's been very successful. Mulligan for Invasion of Gobakhan if you suspect a Greasefang deck, as you can seriously hose them by exiling their expensive vehicles before they can discard them. Also, Sheoldred + Treacherous Blessing + Yorion is absolutely gross.

[@tommygol15br]

48:16 it was more like an Arena punt rather than the opponent's because it doesn't automatically give you a stop on the end step and the token disappears. The other untapped Reflection was summoning sick. Making a token in their end step was probably an attempt to not get blown out by removal, although I don't think it would have achieved much in this case Btw why didn't you take the Ossification for Kroxa at 47:07?
