I got a physical set of this. Fun fact. It's tournament legal. The difference is. I discard my hand and turn every card after treasure hunt into a 3/2 zombie token
I played someone that did something similar, but it was Reliquary Tower, Treasure Hunt, and some black card that let you discard a card for a zombie token. Literally no other cards but lands. Had a good laugh
I had somebody play this sort of thing against me yesterday! Except they used an enchantment that let them discard 2 cards to make a 2/2 zombie or something. UNFORTUNATELY for them, they hit ALL 4 treasure hunts, and then the LAST CARD they drew was the enchantment. It was literally on the very bottom of their library. If they had mulliganed just ONCE they would have won. But they drew from an empty library on their next draw step and lost.
I've seen a hilarious one that directly wins with just lands. It's 3 treasure hunts, a Jadzi, and 76 utility lands. Basically you chain treasure hunts to shovel your entire deck into your hands without discarding due to reliquary tower, put 50something lands onto the battlefield and gain like 20 life, and stabilize by playing Jadzi and Yorion. When you untap, you wipe out all their lands with slumbermounds and memorials; empty their board with blast zone, frostpyre, elderhall, deadlands, etc; then beat them to death once their board is devoid of permanents. Crawling barrens can very quickly translate all that extra mana into lethal. You can also pop in a Maze's End, because it's worth running some number of gates (especially simic) for the fixing and colossal lifegain from Plaza of Harmony.
The existence of decks like this are simultaneously the reason I flail wildly when I don’t recognize a card and stay as long as possible to see what broken magic things that stupid jank is gonna do.
Before the London mulligan i don't remember how or why but I eventually just said f it ill play off the top and started on 0 cards in a game of 1v1 with our commander decks, and I won too! Land, land, land, draw spell, land, draw spell again and I got there. It was perfection
I still have my paper Worldwake-era version of this deck, running Treasure Hunt into Seismic Assault. This one's way faster and more consistent, for two reasons: as others have pointed out, the London Mulligan is a godsend for decks that need to start with a specific card in hand. But also, the Seismic Assault version requires you to have the Assault in play before playing Treasure Hunt, or at least to play it the same turn (which would mean, with no ramping, no earlier than turn 5). If you have to end the turn before you discard your lands to SA, you won't have enough lands in hand next turn to pitch for lethal.
2:23 i get the feeling the good game was due to how bad their hand was. yep that creature and the 3 spells they used was all they could do. cause they kept getting lands or well one of the same spell.
I mean, I'm not claiming it is totally overpowered, but if you picked the top 100 best decks there have ever been I'm willing to bet that Island has been in more of them than anything on the ban list. Just saying...
Problem: You can only have ONE copy of treasure hunt and ONE copy of the finisher. You’ll certainly kill ONE player, and now you just have to kill 2 more players to… win… (looks at deck of all lands) oh…
@@Steamer2001 this is easliy done by having some cards added in to recur the creature to trigger a second and third time, like certain lands that he could keep and not discard for that massive card draw. stop thinking of the ways its NOT gunna work and actually think of ways TO make it work like an actual deck builder.

@@jakebswenka I genuinely forgot the command zone was a thing to be honest. I have no idea why. You can Treasure Hunt into the blink card but then you can’t have the burn creature as the commander because blue card in a red/green deck. And blue and red have almost no blink effects. I don’t really see how child can help with this besides giving access to all 5 colors. And sure you could have utility lands, and then use them to find whichever of the two you don’t have, either the Rioter burn creature or the blink effect card of your choice (somehow) or have a commander in blue/green/red to find the blink card or burn creature. This isn’t the way to go. I think Zombie Infestation with Zur the Enchanter is a WAY better option. Turn 4 Zur, turn 5 attack to find Infestation then play Treasure Hunt. All you have to do it put a random other card into your deck so you don’t deck yourself and hope that it’s towards the bottom of your deck so you hit enough cards to create enough zombies to kill at least ONE person. Just mulligan until you get treasure hunt in hand and wait for turn 4 and pray that you don’t accidentally draw your anti-decking card. Better yet, have your anti-decking card shuffle itself into your library, for example, elixir or immortality. 3 mana “oops put it back” and gain 5 life because idk wotc wanted janky combos like this to be slightly better by a whole 5 life. And then if the combo fails because unlucky card placement, you can take a hit of copium from the elixir of immortality and pray you just naturally draw treasure hunt again using your lands and your defending army of zombies before you get beat to death or anyone removes your infestation. And then if your infestation is removed you pray you’ll hit immortality again to have Zur tutor it again. And pray nobody even speaks about Leyline of singularity, engineered explosives, or elish norn. And then you almost guaranteed win turn 6! Ripe for the board wipe! But you could probably slap a haste giving enchantment into the deck to tutor for with zur so that unless somebody has instant speed removal, you can throw down the zombos and attack on the same turn.
Thank you for this, truly. It'll annoy me to get taken out by this on Arena but at the same time I literally was looking at Treasure Hunt and Take Inventory and wondering it's time for them to back to the trade binder or get sold.
I once played a Historic Brawl deck with WAR Jace as the commander, Treasure Hunt, and 58 islands. I must have played 50+ games and I think I only won once. Note that this was before Historic Brawl became a 100-card format. That would make the deck even worse.
I know this video is old, but this reminds me of another somewhat old deck that was popping up in Yugioh that did a similar thing. A deck that wanted you to mill as much of your deck as possible to OTK the opponent with big burn damage, called Ruinforce FTK. I had a blast playing this deck on Master Duel and I wish I knew about it while it was still viable in paper.

That was amazing!! I love Treasure Hunt decks. they are so funny to see people's faces when they just get OTK'd like that.
Brewer's Kitchen is by far the best content on MTGGoldfish right now. I really look forward to it every time a new video comes out.
This may have been my favorite one so far. Absolutely ridiculous. Awesome video, man! (The universe-spanning bad luck bit was especially wonderful.)
I love so much these Brewers videos, I try almost all decks and especially this kind. Because if it sounds so stupid I laughed, I MUST try it!!!!
