52:48 ASHAYA IS A NONBASIC LAND BOSEIJU CAN KILL IT that was so painful to watch him miss its literally the one answer he was looking for 😭
NO STOP HE DID NOT JUST ALSO RUINOUS ULTIMATUM INTO IT PLEAAASE
the worse part is ashaya literally glows as a target when he uses boseiju
I honestly suffer with that! He even pass the mouse above Ashaya when target the artifact with Boseiju and the light was on ; _ ;
It gets even worse when remembering the whole thing in the first game about being able to blow up the transformed battle because it's a land
Even the dog knew he could target Ashaya with Boseiju 52:55
This deck should run Arcane Bombardment for the full meme. That is the 4RR enchantment that exiles an instant/sorcery from the grave once per turn when you cast a spell, then lets you copy all of the exiled cards (eg. the first time its used, it copies one spell, second time it copies that spell and another, and so on...)
Lithoform engine aswell
I got me a jund land destruct with arcane bombardment. It's on again off again mythic depending on meta. Only has a few land destruct cards. And lots o fetches to fetch what ever destruct I need till bombardment nabs a land destruct from graveyard. Next thing you know you are destroying a creature and triggering multiple land destruct. In fact without the stacking land destruct the opponents used to easily ramp back up.
Once killed a guy. 15 min later he built my deck and mirror matched me lol.
52:54 Bear was trying to inform you that Boseiju was in fact an answer to Ashaya lol
Playing a land destruction deck. "How do I beat this Ashaya?"
Never change Seth. :)
Seth not realizing that boseiju could kill Ashaya just made me sad
I was just listening wit half an ear when Seth said Thelan at 20:04, and I'm thinking thelan is some new alchemy card then I look again. I'm not sure how Theoden becomes Thelan, but classic Seth
Lol I was gonna say Theoden italicized looks kind of like an L instead of a D, but he was saying it when the name wasn't italicized. 😅
You never heard of Thellen, King of Robim?
I felt that Ruinous Ultimatum at the end. I chuckled that Seth didn't even do a wrap-up... like, the performance was pretty self-evident.
The number of missed opportunities in the most of the games were pretty disappointing
Did Seth just pronounce Oliphaunt correctly on the first try?
He can say all the card names correctly. He just chooses not to. To hurt us. 😂
@@KingOfDoma *Flashbacks to Burglar Rat* O.O
@@DecrepitSundew3SO TROOO AMEN 🤣
And then proceeds to pronounce "Theoden" as "Thelon" making me wonder when Thelon of Havenwood become legal on Arena.
Never, because WotC is too SPINELESS to put OG Thallids onto the client #LetTheFungusAmongUs #JusticeForThelon #SporeCounters #Blessed@@bread2988
My eyebrow raised at all the singletons before Seth mentioned a commander and it all made sense. 😂
With you explaining the deck and narrating yourself and the opponent, you have helped me learn magic so well! I really appreciate your entertaining and educative videos. 🎉
Glad it's helpful!
Also 54:00 boseju can hit ashaya
44:55 "Phallus is kinda scary" 😹
Love watching your videos Seth! Thanks for making such original and fun content!
12:50 Isn't the discounted cost of Hour of Revelation locked in before you activate the mana abilities of the treasures? I know it works that way in pauper affinity
Yep. You are correct
good rules familiarity really pays off
Ohh, yeah, I was thinking that I would sacrifice the Treasures first and then cast Hour of Revelation, but if you put Hour of Revelation on the stack first and then sac the Treasures it should work. Good call.
I'm not sure which 'karma moment' is better. Seth getting a taste of his own medicine by Etali stealing his Land Destruction and throwing it back at him, finding out Wyll Blade of the Frontiers is in fact tech for fighting against the One Ring because he doesn't play much Alchemy (who blames him though it's an awful format) or Emrakul wasting all the land destruction for pure "Emmusement'. XD
Love the Historic Brawl Content! This was quite the treat to see Seth!
Glad you like it!
Great, after you made that mono white defense deck I saw it nonstop on Arena (Didnt lose once to it since I knew what the deck was about), but now I guess Ill be seeing this nonstop.
Ashaya was the Commander I'd been waiting for to build my silly ramp "X/X" creature's based on lands deck. An upside I wasn't expecting is how many times opponents try targeting my creatures with spells that can only hit non-land permanents when its out.
So it was even funnier here to see that you're facing Ashaya with a land destruction deck, and don't figure out that your land destruction is effectively turned into creature removal! That punt was pure gold though.
52:58 Even Bear was telling Seth to Boseiju Ashaya, lol.
*Thanks for the Content!*
Thanks a lot for posting this video Turdface. Someone took inspiration and I just played against this deck. I ended up winning but I hated playing against it.
I think golos would be a pretty interesting commander choice for this deck because it could fetch world tree and then all of your mana problems would be fixed. Plus you’d be able to spin into free MLD spells and board wipes
Kenrith would be about on par with golos for being a generic 5c goodstuff commander for this deck, at least new niv allows you to recur spells
kethis isnn't red@@ICantThinkOfAFunnyHandle
My main concern here, is that Golos would probably put this deck straight into the hell queue. Not sure if that would be a good experience
Good luck trying to flip with golos, ppl will kill him every turn with a passion, the only way to flip him is to run protection spells or blink spells
@@jacobarford2877 Correct, however Kenrith is.
Dude, that first game was intense Magic. Well played.
I haven't caught a video in a long time and happy to see this joyous thing is still happening
Might be too precious but I really like Gnottvold Slumbermound as a land that can blow up lands and give you bodies. Pair that up with Soul of Windgrace or other land recursion effects to get it back. Soul of Windgrace might be worth considering just in general since it can steal your opponent's lands out of their graveyard after you blow them up. Super rude but satisfying to ramp while also denying your opponents their mana and using them against them lol
Haha what a sweet deck! Fun video too! Love seeing some H-Brawl content.
The Ashaya Ruinous Ultimatum interaction making Seth cry into his hands was the most perfect ending for a deck built around land destruction. Live by the salt, die by the salt. Lol
Seth: plays the most land-destructy deck in existence.
Also Seth: Runs into the most land-revivy deck in existence, then gets his ruinous ultimatum ruined by the one card that stops it... by making all creatures the thing his deck is trying to actually kill with all of its power.
10/10
More layers than a Nolan film
The One Ring's protection slowing down the attack animations is a nightmare... I attacked with 120+ scute swarms into it and we just sat there for 5 minutes.
Super fun looking deck Seth, still waiting on that Zada, Hedron grinder budget deck 😁
Its's on the list!
I agree! Amazing video topic, you should dive into more! You didn't even mention Meat Hooks or Dead guy Ale!
Hey, I know these videos don't come out as often as other formats but you guys should do Werewolves next time for historic brawl. You don't have to worry about keeping track of day/night or the old way cause its all digital and on top of that pretty much all the good werewolf stuff is on arena
I cannot believe that first Etali game. Goodness gracious.
Interesting concept. Fun video.
That ending was brutal. I think a more consistent way for Land Destruction to work in brawl would be to play “ play extra land per turn cards in junction with play land from grave” running all strip mine like effects
This is my favorite streamer for magic. This guys makes the kost toxic decks its great
Thank you so much for making this deck so i dont feel the urge to waste all my wildcards on it
Cody the codex feels like it fits your deck more but i have wanted to see the new niv mizzet in action for a while😊
You coulda Boseiju'd the Ashaya!
Exiling all graveyards with niv as your commander is... a choice
Please more Historic Brawl this was super fun to watch Seth!! 🏆
20:04 Theoden = Thelen? Never change, Seth
Thelon of havenwood, obviously
I'm currently making a physical deck called "The Circle of Life". All it does is make etb monsters that exile or destroy target thing. It's >40 creatures, and almost no Sorceries or Instants, with a Mindhive and 2 slivers with anthem destruction to just cause more creature destruction and/or exile triggers, especially on creatures with flicker abilities instead.
I'm honestly interested in actually seeing it be played, simply bc it's so toxic with its graveyard recursion abilities.
codie is your land destruction commander, land destruction cascading into land destruction
Seeing all the creatures as lands and Seth seeking creature removal with a bunch of land removal... Hahahahah
I love this, I'm ready to break some spirits. :) Wondering why you hit graveyards w/ the farewell that first game though? Obviously didn't matter in the end, but was just curious.
seth, you can still cast the WWW destroy all nonland permanents even when you sacrifice the treasures to cast it, even if it lowers your threshold below the necessary number to cost reduce.
You can announce spells and then pay their costs, so you still get the reduction while attempting to put it on the stack. For instance, let's say you have 1 land and a treasure. Emry costs 1U, and you go to announce Emry with the cost reduction, then pay costs, which implies sacrificing the treasure for mana, but since you've announced Emry at 1U and not just floated the mana beforehand, you put it on the stack with those cost reductions.
I thought this was a Crim deck when I saw the name of the video.
I miss the good old ponza in modern days from Seth.
Wyll showing up makes this an HONORARY BALDURS GATE 3 VIDEO :D
Babe wake up, Seth dropped a HB video
What this deck really needs are the instructible artifact lands. That makes Geomancer's Gambit and Cleansing Wildfire much less harmful, as well as making it less of a big deal when people steal your spells. Should also tweak the mana base to be more resistant to Sundering Titan.
Wyll is great in the current historic meta, check out Alths Winona midrange deck he uses it in that. It gives great utility and since everyone is running one ring and Sheoldred there are loads of great targets for it.
The first game was insane. Never thought he'd pull that off.
the fact that the win con creates a bunch of trolls is definitely a flavor win for the deck
That first game was wild
I was so ready for him to draw Fall of the Thran at the end
Great minds Seth, I’ve been playing Niv Supreme land destruction doubler since MAT, some notes of comparison:
- I leaned more spell slingy and double color to get more value from Niv when/if I cast him
- more control elements, in the scheme of archetypes LD is overall control so a bit more interaction to survive into the late game like targeted removal, wraths like Supreme Verdict (it’s even double color) and Vanquish the Horde, and counters (Wash Away is a given in HB, Counterspell, Sublime Epiphany since we’re going big anyways)
- Ral, Storm Conduit is an on board doubler and Wrenn and the World Tree gives you fixing and defense, and both end up soaking up extra damage
- between convoke and all the ramp, this deck is Complete the Circuit’s time to shine, lemme tell you things like a tripled Casualties of War and an opponent’s EOT triple Star of Extinction is molto bene
I can email you a list and some more notes if you’d like, just need to update it with LTR and anthologies cards
Seth running a five color deck with colorless lands, colorless mana rocks and trying to cast Ruinous Ultimatum, not greedy at all haha
Casualties of war is such a funny card. Sometimes it is such a huge blowout and has caused many concedes.
Wow! That first game was quite the nail-biter!
Boseiju is land destruction! Missing that at the end was tough to watch 😟
There is a trick with Hour of revelation, if you don't want it to cost more than 3 mana when you sac your treasures, press control to cast it all manually. You can cast Hour of revelation before you sac the treasures, and once is revealed, you sac the treasures for mana, the cost of the HOR won't increase. I learned that trick in a video with Andrea Mengucci, when he was using an affinity deck.
Love to see more brawl! Not loving the idea of more people playing land destruciton though lmao
I've been playing a Historic land destruction with Stone Rain, Acidic Slime, Creeping Mold to blow up lands, Timeless Witness to get them back and Primal Command to bounce lands and find Witnesses.
That game one was insane!
CROKEYZ been toying around with Wyll, Pact-Bound Duelist in his historic pile
Watching you punt that last match hurt so bad. 😭
Okay that first game was just completely nuts.
Holy crap, that first game is freaking epic
Everybody always forgets Boseiju can destroy nonbasic lands as well
I recommend Kykar, Wind's Fury for this deck cuz it turns all those terrible 4 mana spells into Stone Rain!
Twenty minutes In I was also surprised because after the battle dropped I was like how do you recover from them pulling ahead so many lands.
Awesome video!
Love to see the deck on mtg arena and not mtg online!
You could've used your land destruction spells on the creatures when Ashaya hit the field
At 14:21, I think he had a swamp left in the deck so he could have ghost quartered his own land to grab the last black he needed for ultimatum.
Should have just casualty could 4 for 1 twice
14:30 Casualties of War would have been quite fine here. You kill two of their lands, both of their enchantments, bot of their non-artifact creatures, and the Battalion and one of it's tokens. And you keep your Double Vision.
Edit : 40:35 Why are we not playing Demolition Field, use the other colorless sources to pop it, getting a Swamp, then using Mauling on Windgrace?
I literally yelled at my monitor, "BOSEIJU KILLS ASHAYA! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!!" And then the Ruinous Ultimatum as a nice cherry on top. XD
That first game was EPIC
Ayo Mr Against the odds, I just found some janky but really cool combo.
I encourage you to take a look at Rona + Leyline Attunement. I just got it in a 5c legends kenrith and went "Huh, that seems good. Is it as good as I think?" And then I totally emptied my hand. of 5 cards. They swept me, which was cool cause it was battle of bywater and rona was fine. So a little later I found atraxa, and played her AND all the stuff she found me instantly.
Haven't watched through the whole thing yet, but you had some doubts about how often Ravager Worm would hit a land at 0:40. I feel the need to mention cycling on triomes and channel on the Kamigawa lands means they both qualify in addition to the more obvious ones like castles and manlands. I think the answer is that the mode is live more often than you'd expect.
EDIT: I see you made this exact realization when your opponent hit it off Etali at 47:22
Yes finally a deck that is not just combos or scoop it up
“WOTC we need a 5 colored commander for land destruction”…..THE FUCK WE DO?!?
Lol, when I am watching play videos and I keep trying to mouse-over cards for more info :P
Even your dog saw you can kill Ashaya with Boseiju and you didn't listen to him. Bad, bad, bad owner !
i also saw he had shatter skull summit and i was like you have removal
There is a 5 color mana destruction commander (not sure about arena). His name is Reaper King :D
Excess land destruction... As they say: "You either die a hero, or live long enough to watch yourself become the villain."
You should call this rubric challenge accepted
if you use the indestructible artifact lands you can cleansing wildfire your own land and fix your own mana
Out of all the experimental builds you've done recent weeks or months, which one you find the strongest and which is the funnest to play??
hey seth! Any tips on how to light properly for the green screen? Mine stays fubar'd
Seth: Sees the Shire exist peacefully
Seth: I'm gonna scour that.
Not me singing ALL THE SINGLE LD, ALL THE SINGLE LD after watching the deck title
Just here to say that yes, wyll is a top tier card, in historic due to the crurent meta being able to remove (and get profit by stealing temporarily) the one ring and sheoldred
Reaper king is a scarecrows matter land destroyer (when scarecrow etb: destroy permanent) you can run it as your commander and do a bunch of silly shape shifter shenanigans. Idk if reaper king is in mtga tho
Reaper king scarecrow tribal lets you destroy target permanent when another scarecrow enters the battlefield
Loved the “Hot in Here” reference lol. That’s an X-Man right?
I though The One Ring was gonna be problematic in that it's obviously generically very powerful and therefore will just be thrown in to every deck.
And it kinda is - but more often than not it makes games much more interesting, like your first one in this video. It slows opposition tempo without destroying it and gives you opportunity to find answers, all at what seems like a fair cost. It lets jank piles, theme decks, not-insta-win combos and other weird stuff actually have a chance to do their thing against ostensibly more powerful or more optimized decks, and that's fine by me.
Give me a 5 color 0/0 “when this enters the battlefield destroy all lands. This gets a +1+1 counter for every different land among lands destroyed. Landfall- put a land card from your graveyard into the battlefield tapped”
55:25 Lmao get reckt draw - Boardwipe gamer
Lmao the Wyll tech, a card literally nobody ever played before El Ringo got released
