For reference, to Filtch something is to steal it!! So the Filtched Falcon is the stolen falcon - likely Coveted Falcon, an artifact bird from the same set!!
Likely based on Dashiel Hammet’s the Maltese Falcon
@@Shrike7676 Like Filch from Oliver Twist.
It's not just to steal. It's to Steal in a Casual way
Both filtched/coveted falcon probably refer to the Maltese falcon which was made famous by the 1941 movie of the same name
I really wish Seth had any media literacy or cultural knowledge.
Seth: ...I'm not even sure that's a real word.
Thats why we love you
Seth has never given a rat's ass about words or names and how they are pronounced.
@gmikecstein he couldn't pronounce something the right way to save his life lol
Sometime I'm shocked it's his first language...
That's why most people who are learning English as their second language I usually say are better speakers than people who's first language is English. @@maciekwilkosz6377
Gotta say, "RDW splashing white for invasion of theros" in match 1 is SPICY, i was kinda rooting for that opponent
Yeah, that deck was pretty sweet.
Ojer Axonil plus Warleader's Call is pretty sick.
Not gonna lie, it's not the first time Ricci Salty Ropes Seth.
Happened last over a year ago too.
How...do you know this?😂
Sometimes I imagine Surge Engine is an honorary knight...Sir Gengin!
Damn that's good
If you Seth the names enough, Syr Ginger and Surge Engine are basically the same
I've got to be honest, warleader's call + red ixalan god is a pretty sweet piece of synergy. T3 anthem, T4 5/5 with an etb lava axe.
Yeah, that deck was sweet.
Gleeful Demolition
I have recently discovered this series and Seth, you are so entertaining. Love it.
Thanks!
Control players salty roping is the content I'm here for
It is a real word, and the card could also be a reference to the movie “The Maltese Falcon”
It was a book first.
Man, that UW control opponent casting Wandering Emperor and then immediately regretting all their life decisions when they realized they couldn't target syr ginger anymore was absolutely hilarious! I've never seen Syr Ginger's first ability actually be relevant before lol
Why are you playing Flame-Blessed Bolt when Torch the Tower is strictly better? The bargain mechanic would work exceptionally well with this deck.
Probably for budget reasons
Because budget?
@@ianmcabee8036 it's currently eleven cents and common wildcards, I'm thinking it's an oversight.
@@patatop850 it's currently eleven cents and common wildcards, I'm thinking it's an oversight.
@@ianmcabee8036that makes no sense, both are commons and both are couple of cents
My guess is he just probably forgot that card existed
The case makes something better than a 4/4 flyer. It makes a 0/0 with 4 +1/+1 counters. This stacks super well with other cards that makes an artifact into an artifact creature with some base defense/power. Such as Zoetic Glyph or Tezzeret or Yoria Declares War.
i wanna see it with consulate dreadnought. with the right hand, its a turn 3 11/15 with flying that can attack immediately.
edit: and the right hand being the case, the vehicle, and any other 1 or 0 mana artifact.
I feel pretty big brain. Ive been playing this deck for about a week and a half (I just started playing xD). I used Ice Out for the counterspell because it grows gemdrake and also threw in Captain Storm, Cosmium Raider (+1/+1 on pirates when an artifact ETBs, so playing gemdrake with her on the field procs her twice) and Torch the Witness and Korvald and the Noble Thief for mana/artifacts to use and sack!
Also cogwork wrestler because he's coggers
That sounds sweet! I might have to try the Captain. Have fun with it!
Filch is that card from back in the day that gave your creatures Swampwalk if it's in your graveyard. I can't believe you don't know this.
That's Filth, not Filch.
I can't believe you don't know this.
@@kazekage_gaara_-8027 No, I'm pretty sure it's Filch. I've been watching Seth for years so I know I how to word good.
I think you could try to slot "zoetic glyph" in this deck. Its a 3 mana enchantment that makes an artifact a 5/4 and when it leaves the battlefield discovers 3. Might be better than Filtched Falcon in many instances, especially against removal.
This deck shows you don't need blocks to have sets with connecting themes.
Temur artifacts is best artifacts. You want Night of the Sweets Revenge, Dowsing Device, Goose Mother, Gilded Geardrake, Kellan (adventure w/ Simic colors), Tough Cookie, Syr Ginger, etc, etc. Fill in the gaps however you want but thats the main core pieces.
I really like Zoetic Glyph, Case of the Filcher Falcon, Doppelgang, and Candy Trail. It can ramp super hard with Night of the Sweet's Revenge and Goose Mother. Sometimes you can use the generated food (from Goose Mother with NotSR and one red mana) to activate Goose Mother to be 20/10 with haste. Other times Tough Cookie, Dowsing Device, and Zoetic Glyphs end games as fast as mono red. Doppelgang can be the ultimate top end card. Opponent played a Phyrexian Obliterater or Vindicator? Turn it on their face. Now I have 3 Obliteraters, 4 Tough Cookies, and 4 Night of the Sweet Revenges.
Honestly every color offers some pretty good additions to the deck. Black gives you bloodtithe harvester, oni-cult anvil, and braids. White gives you warden of the inner sky, dusk rose reliquary, and thousand-moon smithy.
@@Atmapalazzo Thousand Moon Smithy, Buried in the Garden, any enchantments that exile in white really.. with Doppelgang is insane. I don't think there's an upper end but I have a few screenshots of 10ish 40/40 Gnomes.
Alchemy Bant with Dedicated Dollmaker and Three Blind Mice combo.. oh dear lord.. good thing that new green "destroy all enchantments and artifacts" split card came in with MKM..
I haven't found a good way to fight against board wipes in Bant Colors outside of Doppelgang'ing creature lands like Restless Vinestalk. Red for Dowsing Device and things like Urabrasks Forge can be great for sideboard vs control decks (imo, just too damn slow vs mono red or boros convoke).
Haven't played much Grixis Artifacts (I don't have the wildcards for the lands tbh.) I can imagine with the creature/artifact sacrifice outlets that black has make it go wild with pings and card draw.
For Alchemy Temur: Overcooked, Spiteful Banditry, Relics of the Rubblebelt, and Perilous Iteration are a great adds but it becomes far less creature heavy and more midgame combo esque.
Temur colors #1.
@@SymSne I haven't looked into building an artifact deck together, so I can't say which is the best, if I do get around to it, I'll try temur first.
That last opponent forgot that tergrid rotated.
i love pairing the case of the filched falcon with zoetic glyph. with only 3 mana, you can activate the case on your opponent’s turn making a 4/4 flyer, then zoetic glyph on the same artifact, makes it a 9/8 (since the case makes it a 0/0 with counters), and swing with it right away!
Urabrask's Forge is also good against UB and Esper midrange shells, which see plenty of play. UB has no answers to one in play, just discard and counters. Esper Legends will have a couple of Lorans but you have lots of juicy targets to bait one out first.
I looked back at the Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego song. "She's a sticky-fingered filcher from Berlin down to Belize"
Seth that very first match really shows your mastery of Magic. Really great work.
Great vid! Now maybe try to do this, but in pioneer/explorer with ensoul artifact.
I feel like behind the mask could work great in this as it can allow you to swing for 5 on turn 2 while working as a combat trick or even pump spell late game as it effects base power and toughness, plus it makes a creature immune to cut down and can save you from edicts by creating another creature from your token artifacts, that when sacrificed to the edict will grow your other stuff
Why Voltage Surge and Flame Blessed Bolt over Torch the Tower? Legitimate question since I don't play standard much.
The graph about the amount of time the word "filched" was googled just shot right up to the moon
I’ve tried to make deck like this but it got too complicated. You’ve inspired me to try again.
Give it a shot! It's actually pretty solid if you can get the mix of synergy cards and removal right.
It's a shoutout to the film noir "Maltese Falcon" which was the MacGuffin in the aforesaid. A good flick.
15:36 We have all been there but this was one hell of a punt.
Against the odds idea: invasion of amonket+the ixalan gods.
When they die, they return transformed. Meaning, if the backside of amonket turns into those gods, it returns transformed, into the backside of amonket.
So you basically get a creature with "when this creature dies, return it to the battlefield tapped"
Its insanely jank, but it could maybe work in a sac focused shell.
Could instakill with altar of dementia...
Anyways, I have neither the brainpower nor the wildcards to make this work. But its a really cool combo I'd like to see in action.
Love this! Little low cost creatures like Gleaming Geardrake are some of my favorite cards in Magic.
Question. I don't have much experience in standard, but how much longevity do you think this deck has (not nessecarily at a competitive level, maybe just FNM)? Granted, that's a way out and theres new sets between then and now, but I'm still curious how you think it will do after rotation when it loses Voldaren Epicure and some of its dual lands.
I like the price of the deck and as a matter of fact like the way it plays out. 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Love Seth Comeback Stories!
Would it be possible to upgrade this deck with oni cult or one of the many new make artifact sac at end step cards?
i was hopping to find an interesting izzet deck, i think i found one.
demand answers is better that what you think, same raw mana value as a clue for an extra card, is not better thrill of posibilities or even red deadly dispute for nothing, i would seriously recomend it at 3 max.
kinda hopping to find an interesting case of the ransaked lab izzet or even grixis deck, currently brewing one with juddith carnage conosseur over moxfield, the spell slinger theme goes perfectly
Would there be any point to sacrificing the Falcon case to turn the schooner into a 7/8 flyer, or is having the 4/4 the better option in almost all situations?
Seth sees azorius mana and they cast no more lies: "I...guess they are...a control deck???"
Yes buddy, good job!
Fun fact. A Sheoldred is more expensive than this deck. If you had to pick 1 what would it be, the deck or 1 Sheoldred?
Now you are getting my mind going. Can you put a Falcon on a vehicle? Might have to look at some high crew ones.
If you can, it would turn a careening minecart into a 4/4 flyer that if crewed becomes a 7/7.
case of the filched falcon plus diamond pick-axe (also gleeful demolition and pick-axe)
Hi Seth. NoobTube here. Given that it has already been a couple days since release of this video, I don't know if you will see this, but I will post it anyways. I recently created a new deck that I am trying out in Timeless MTGA. I think you would really enjoy this deck. It has ponza, but it also uses a Grinning Ingus + Birgi combo as a wincon. I find it really fun to play and it wrecks a good portion of the meta, especially Zoo and strangely (because most lists run 2-4 basics), Titan Field. It struggles against Mono-Black and Burn, but you can pull through against Burn. Decklist below.
Decklist:
4x Birgi, God of Storytelling (KHM)
4x Blood Moon (WOT) 4x Bloodstained Mire (MH3)
4x Deathrite Shaman (RVR) 3x Delighted Halfling (LTR)
4x Devilish Valet (SNC)
4x Forest (MH3)
4x Gamble (SPG)
3x Gilded Goose (LTC)
4x Grinning Ignus (STX)
4x Impact Tremors (WOT)
3x Llanowar Elves (30A)
4x Mountain (BLB)
4x Stomping Ground
3x Windswept Heath (MH3)
4x Wooded Foothills (MH3)
Sideboard (you can build a sideboard if you want to play this in Bo3 which I know you enjoy more)
1x Jegantha, the Wellspring
Pulls off the mask "It was old man Crim"!
Okay Seth, to filch something, is to steal something, as has been pointed out by others. However, more importantly, the card is a reference to the classic film noir "The Maltese Falcon" starring Humphrey Bogart. If you like classic detective movies, you should definitely watch it, but otherwise, it's probably not worth the time, but it is worth knowing about, since it is an extremely culturally significant film and you've probably referenced it at some point in your life without even knowing it.
Playing around with a temur shell of this with sentinel
To filtch, a verb, means to steal something, particularly something of low value. The card is a reference to the Maltese Falcon, probably the best known noir film of all time
So how would this deck be upgraded? What are the other rare or mythic wildcards I'd wanna spend on this to improve it?
Could Case of the Filtched Falcon fit into some sort of Simic Hardened Scales deck in historic?
not in this decks colors but a real neato synergy is elvish archivist + case of filched falcon. get the counters and draw a card. it's like a cool party trick. but next thing you know you're getting temporarily lockdown'd on the path to peril before an ill timed explosion brings about the sunfall.
36:51 couldn't you had blocked the Adversary with the 4/4 off the case? Although, I guess, you would've lived just one more turn, and there were no cards in the deck to help you stabilize against mono red drawing three next turn.
Geardrake is giving me some Sprite Dragon flashbacks
I love me a good Izzet Drakes deck
Imho the filched falcon is a reference to the Maltese Falcon which was about a stolen relic.
I've seen the Maltese Falcon, but I still didn't know what filched meant lol
@@MTGGoldfish Filched means stolen, usually in a furtive way
Filch - from Middle English “filchen”. Meaning to pilfer or steal
The deck that is legally distinct from The Maltese Falcon.
Oh I played against this deck a double days ago
Nice!
No zoetic glyph in this deck?
You can't have it in here, because it does what the case does - but better. It'll make the video pointless.
@@user-iz7nu4wk3hno flying
I don't think Glyph is better than Case. They are both good though.
I couldn't find the room, although I think squeezing in a couple of copies could be good.
@@MTGGoldfish You might argue that Case has a better niche use because of the flying; which is the case when you run 0 artifact creatures with flying.
There is a reason why one of them is the backbone of the most popular budget deck in standard for almost half an year now; and the other one can't even beat Unctus's Retrofitter for the spot in said deck, because it's a turn slower.
Anyone else convinced that Feldon looks like Seth?
Just don't get filch and felch mixed up.
Pro tip 🤣
Filch: to pilfer or steal something of small value in a casual way
Fade from history would prolly be an issue
Filching ain’t easy
it's not a schooner it's a sailboat!
This would be busted with a big Incubate token
I don't know, Seth...is it artifacts?
21:41 this really bugs me about arena players, sometimes they just tank tank tank -> make obvious winning play
Oh the irony of Seth questioning whether filched is a real word...
FORGE MENTIONED
freida filcher?
I thought you called the deck "Is it Artifact Aggro?"
15:47 blocking the trampling god with the creature you intend to sac is never the right play
Yeah, it looks like he could have survived that attack with 2 life and potentially won on the next turn left if he'd blocked correctly.
where was crime novelist
As someone just getting into Arena, rare lands feel like such a scam.
Also, super cool deck but the video needs more cat! A clawed cylonic rift is a small price to pay.
You’re gonna feel that a lot on arena lol
@@Dsmky117 It's so painful, especially because in paper lands are very accessible rn (been playing paper for years).
I see a lot of salt ropes playing Sorin tell.
can i send you a deck list
Amazing deck, but why do the Tokens Trigger the drake and the Cookie? They don't go to the yard at all?
The rules on tokens in Magic is a bit weird. Technically when they leave the battlefield they go to the graveyard and then disappear, so they trigger things like Syr Ginger and Gleaming Geardrake.
Is it artifacts? I think it is.
It's a very old word Seth
I love that you finally googled "filch" and can stop calling it not a real word.
I might still call it not a real word ;)
He pronounced schooner correctly!! This is not a drill! My life's work is compleeetttee!!!!
Seth has some of the best deck ideas, I just wish he could play them properly.. I always leave before the end because of the most painful mistakes -or mispronunciations-
Who up filching their falcon rn
Thats a boring standard environment!! Your only opponent seemed to be the one with the boros burn deck
Oh, great. Thanks Seth, now everybody's going to be playing my deck. URGH.
"Filched" means stolen. So it's the "Case of the stolen falcon"
73$ "budget"
14:20 Missed lethal, if you animate the vehicle by the case effect, you get a 4/4 flyer which can be crew pre-damage to into a 7/8 + 2 damages from the drake = game
You don't need to crew it, actually. When you make it a creature with the case it retains the existing stats plus it gets the four counters.
It doesn't work like that. Read the gatherer page for filched falcon, crewing a vehicle does not reset its P/T, it remains a 0/0 with 4 +1/+1 counters.
@@bennordenson7527no, it doesn't, case explicitly says it becomes 0/0
Lol. You're right. Reading the card explains the card I guess. @@psymar
My bad then, did not know about the interaction@@stryed1111
it honestly shocks me how many people dont know simple words
First \o/
Seth has actively degraded his pronunciation of Axonil. He went from at least saying it phonetically to the absolute enigma that is his understanding of the english language
Second game made me miffed. I can't stand when dumbass opponents take like 2 minutes to make the most braindead obvious plays that have literally no other possible options. It's probably my biggest frustration with this game sometimes. I don't know why so many players have executive function disorders or extensive brain damage.
trying not to pull my hair out listening to seth say "axonil" as "axillon" over and over instead of "ash-o-nil" or "ax-o-nil"... no wonder he didn't realize axonil had trample, he doesn't read the cards very carefully x.x
I'll feel kinda bad if he has dyslexia or somethin, but I have dyslexia and I try to read things multiple times so I don't mispronounce names lol *grumble grumble* just... try to do better please.
Filching sounds suspiciously like an extremely disgusting act involving a straw and the backdoor of gay men.
Sounds like a you problem buddy
Please don't do the annoying tiktok "print everything you say in the middle of the screen" thing. If I wanted to watch tiktok, I'd be on tiktok.
