Loooooved the end of the first Tron match where chat is freaking out about time with under 2 min on clock and Seth is just like 'Nah guys, we're fine'.
Also chat freaking out about scooping to that Goryo's Obzedat when all four bolts were in the graveyard and there was literally nothing else you could draw that would do anything.
Against Burn, if you hold up Cryptic you could counter a burn spell and bounce the Swiftspear and survive. Plus gain life from his spells and if he recasts Swiftspear.
UR pyro player here. Even though my deck includes delver for early presure, wouldt be better in this deck remand over mana leak? I see this quite better when there is a pyromancer in play. And what about Cryptic Serpent/Bedlam Reveler as a late game finisher? I see those cards amazing, being Cryptic Serpent waaay better in aggro decks and Bedlam Reveler in control (like this one).
Bailey Rose Spells on the stack having "x" in their mana cost count the "x" as the amount paid. Seth paid 2 for x, x+1 ie 3 is not equal to the number of charge counters on Chalice.
I think you could've lived if you left Cryptic Command up at 2:41:38 instead of playing Chandra. He had 1 card in hand, so assuming the worst of double Boros Charm with his next draw, the following would happen (assuming that since the opponent played 2 Skullcracks already, a third Skullcrack would be highly unlikely; also fetching out only WR lands indicates the opponent is probably not Naya Burn, so Atarka's Command is out of the equation): Play Flooded Strand --> Crack it, fetch a basic Island --> Go to 2. Pass the turn. Opp. Cast Boros Charm --> 2 Dragon Claw Triggers (Go to 4) -- > Counter Boros Charm with Cryptic Command, bounce Swiftspear Opp. Casts Swiftspear --> 2 Dragon Claw Triggers (Go to 6) Opp. Casts Boros Charm --> 2 Dragon Claw Triggers (Go to 8) --> Take 4 (Go to 4) Opp. attacks with Swiftspear --> Go to 2. You survive 2 Boros Charms to the face.
its interesting how so many people have the same question. Since seth paid x=2 the spell is 2R on the stack. I know this is a bit weird, but search gatherer. It will say the very same thing for all X spells, that its casting cost changes while on the stack based on how many mana you pay for x.
People complaining about Obzedat. It say you may exile it, therefore a legit target with Jace's ultimate. Besides at that point the game was won and would not have mattered what he searched for.
people in chat can be soooo annoying at times, like game 1 match 2. And the match before. This one guy just keeps saying terrible plays and keeps doing !punt commands when seth doesnt do it. But love the deck and nice vid.
Agreed. Although Seth does make some super dumb plays quite frequently for which he deserves every single punt command that it elicits (and more, honestly) :P
even when seth makes actual punts (and I agree he makes some massive punts every now and then), I don't think the wall of "!punt"s is at all necessary. the purpose of pointing out a punt should be to help improve the person as a player. just saying "punt" is not at all contributing to that cause. and letting it be a thing just fosters an environment where people say "punt" just for the sake of it... which it did
The punt command is there to be cathartic for the viewers. It can be frustrating to see the streamer make big mistakes and rather than screaming at them for that it's contained to typing a single short word once.
*shrugs* Considering they're not the one actually playing, I personally don't understand why it's so frustrating, they need to spend the effort of typing on a keyboard. And I don't think the !punt command as it's currently used is any better for the environment than normal yelling. But whatever, I don't follow the stream live and Seth doesn't seem to mind anyway
"Scoops" is the name the community decided for the MTG Goldfish mascot. So a "Big Scoops cheer" references the emote that has the fish with his cheering fist (fin?) in the air.
why play u/r when jeskai is strictly better?....access to path, spell queller, wrath, helix, etc... this looks kinda forced edit: I also dare to say: in a deck with so many cheap spells, logic knot is almost always better than mana leak
"Least impactful punt of all time?" Playing the extra land would of let you gearhulk the next turn. Killing wirmcoil and potentially drawing with electrolize. Then you just need to find an answer to endbringer and the two 3, 3s. And not even immediately. Such a huge punt don't under pitch it.
Matthew Mills, even with the extra land, he would have had a torrential gearhulk on board against a 5/5 and a 6/6. To kill the wormcoil, he would have need to flashback a burn spell and chump block with torrential. That still leaves 2 3/3's and a 5/5.
9:57 Deck Tech
14:40 Games
Thanks
Much obliged.
22:54 Seth forgetting that he has got crucible in play
So it's pretty entertaining what it sounds like when you click 14:40. XD (Hi I'm five.)
4 of the best rounds of magic I've seen in a long time.... and also that game of solitaire versus burn

This deck's comebacks are the sweetest
Seth being triggered by Eldrazi Temple gives me life.
buffy Actually, Eldrazi Temple doesn't have triggers.
Merengue PerSempre you've never seen a turn 2 5/5 trample haste that's impossible to remove
Louise Drake swamp, go
Swamp, dark ritual, dark ritual, dark ritual, phyrexian obliterator, lightning greaves
The only acceptable way
Raúl Pérez 3 memnites turn 1, sac them to salvage titan.
Louise Drake a man of culture, i see
Seth plz, dont go shields down on turn 3 against eldrazi tron, they always have it, it's the cruel reallity we live as a modern players XD
I'm sorry but I never heard smugglers copter called the "looter scooter" but I had to pause the video because I was loling too hard. Love it.
Aw, Seth! You are looking for lands and don't play the Flooded Strand at 22:50 :(
L
First game at 14:30
Bless you
damn got rolled by the burn match. haven't seen a match that brutal since frank lepore lost to twoo playing jank goblins
Against Burn, if you hold up Cryptic you could counter a burn spell and bounce the Swiftspear and survive. Plus gain life from his spells and if he recasts Swiftspear.

Jesus that burn draw O_o
I feel like Tron is played by everyone and their mother.
Stupid question, but why did the By Force resolve through the Chalice of the void?
Bailey Rose Spells on the stack having "x" in their mana cost count the "x" as the amount paid. Seth paid 2 for x, x+1 ie 3 is not equal to the number of charge counters on Chalice.
Is his hand the cmc is 1, but on the stack it was 3 (or whatever it was) the same rule works with all x spells :)
I
Patrick Buerke i
there is no such a thing as a stupid question about rules
Why not run good Jace TMS, and good Chandra TOD? They just seem like overall better options.
They didn't say anything but that round 3 opponent was suuuuuper salty.
I think you could've lived if you left Cryptic Command up at 2:41:38 instead of playing Chandra. He had 1 card in hand, so assuming the worst of double Boros Charm with his next draw, the following would happen (assuming that since the opponent played 2 Skullcracks already, a third Skullcrack would be highly unlikely; also fetching out only WR lands indicates the opponent is probably not Naya Burn, so Atarka's Command is out of the equation):

Opp. Cast Boros Charm --> 2 Dragon Claw Triggers (Go to 4) -- > Counter Boros Charm with Cryptic Command, bounce Swiftspear
Opp. Casts Swiftspear --> 2 Dragon Claw Triggers (Go to 6)
Opp. Casts Boros Charm --> 2 Dragon Claw Triggers (Go to 8) --> Take 4 (Go to 4)
Opp. attacks with Swiftspear --> Go to 2. You survive 2 Boros Charms to the face.
I wish that somebody would've opened with Leyline of Sanctity
Star of Extinction with Soulfire Grand Master?
how come by force didnt get countered with counters on chalice for 1?
its interesting how so many people have the same question.

That chest no rare bug FeelsBadMan
It is funny how around 1:24:00 if he destroyed one more land, he could have Leaked.
17:05 ... Armello music in the background, or am I trippin
Needs flusterstorms to protect Pyromancer :p
M. Vipsanius Agrippa not modern
They should put actual strip mine in modern - Seth 2017

Pyromaster over TOD? FeelsBadMan

BrewBrewBrewTheDeck yeah I am in no denial that he does make some dumb plays and deserves the punts haha

fml... What is it you say before "for our new subscriber"? This has got to the point of bothering me now... :)
Big scoops cheer

Thanks to you both! Now you've said it, I can hear it of course, haha. Words can be weird that way.
couldve ulted tamiyo and won like 2 turns earlier with bolt...
16:10 BEGONE THOUGHT
Why don't you ever play pro tour!
This is what we need for the last of the sol lands to be banned: complaining from popular streamers
Young Pyromancer seems weird in this deck. Didn't seem like it consistently provided enough value.
why play u/r when jeskai is strictly better?....access to path, spell queller, wrath, helix, etc...
this looks kinda forced
edit: I also dare to say: in a deck with so many cheap spells, logic knot is almost always better than mana leak
Ken Blu It does give better access to blood moon in the board. Also, as two color, your manabase is less painful.

He probably shouldn't of made that mistake in such an aggressive comment.
The Grouch I can't tell if you're mocking him by saying "shouldn't of" or not
I don't think I could of made it more obvious though.
The Grouch Fine, fine. Big scoops here
