The fact that king of the pride is just a savannah lion that staples savannah lions onto every other cat you control is so great. I love the flavor of that card.
the flavor of kaheera is that if buffs the all the apex creature types on ikoria. I like to think that kaheera took care of them all before they got buffed
I've played this a decent amount since you put this list up; I've been playing it with a couple extra Kaheera in the main and a couple of Lurrus which is a great main addition. Loam Lion is an interesting idea, though. Might have to test that. :)
@@MTGGoldfish... I enjoy playing with it? :D I haven't played a league with it yet, but it's got enough hate in it that it has a game against nearly everything. I don't feel like I have zero shot against anything, and in Modern that's saying something.
Now for nightmare, beast, elemental, and dinosaur tribal decks featuring Kaheera too. Also, Seth, so proud of you for saying Kaheera right most of the time.
You were asking about the deck tech portion of videos on twitter. The reason I skip them is because unless you're playing some crazy convoluted combo deck I generally understand what a deck is trying to do and why, so I just want to see it in action
Geez, The Ozolith seems to have been a major boon for Modern Hardened Scales, alongside Lurrus. It's... Pretty disgusting, from watching a match of it.
The ‘drawback’ to Lurrus just isn’t a drawback in decks like Burn and Scales/Affinity, because they were already not playing stuff that cost more than 2 in the first place. It’s just a free roll and it seems really gross.
That dredge match proves exactly why i play a copy of Steam Vents in my list. Being able to make blue mana for janky dredge beatdowns matters a lot considering your one of the moat easily hated out decks in the format.
Seth in response to you mot getting the flavor of kaheera. Those 5 types of creatures are the 5 big types of monsters on ikoria, and because monster hunters often kill monsters parents on ikoria, kaheera leans on her green white nature and takes care of the orphans, even if they are of another species. Its something big cats in real life are seen doing on rare ocassions
It takes care of the plane. If you check the apexes, you can see that each color corresponds with a creature type: Black - nightmare Blue - elemental White - cat Red - dinosaur Green - beast So the cat protects the children of ikoria
You know, between your mull to one for leyline the other week and you mull to two for Rest In Peace this week, you have had a couple of the most laughable wins over dredge I’ve ever seen. I really hope your luck there continues because this has been so funny and so fantastic.
Kaheera cares about those 5 tribes because the 5 Apexs (Apexi?) are always 3 of those 5, with each color being one type. Thats why they are on Kaheeras Art as well (in tiny baby form).
The single Black spell that returns a creature with CMC >3 also seems like a clutch addition if the mana could work. Along with the unlockable black changeling
I know this is almost 2 years old now, but with Feline Sovereign printed in M21, cat tribal is so much better. I run it with coco, so no caracals, but I don't need to run Qasali Pridemage since Sovereign kills an artifact or enchantment as long as a cat hits, but with how many cats i cant get out, its not too hard really.
Last game versus Hardened Scales you named 3 cards as the best cards in their decks and they had 45 cards left. I'm sure you can take out your calculator and figure out that the chances they would draw an impactful card were pretty huge.
Don't get me wrong, GW d and t is interesting, but with Kaheera, I am surprised no streamer has made a modern or pioneer version of cat aggro. That would be awesome to see.
@@mystdreamy739 Yeah plus in modern you just have merfolk which is a much better aggro deck, since almost all it's lords are 2 mana. Not to mention they can all gain or be unblockable. Cat's just individually have better cards, most merfolk are 1/1s or 2/2s with basically no abilities if they are the only merfolk, while cat's has cards like pride sovereign and Brimaz. Which are sizable threats on their own but aren't exactly "aggressive creatures". So I completely agree cats just doesn't seem like the best for aggro.
What are your thoughts on running the new vigilance tribal card in this sideboard against red? Don’t know if it fits the requirements but it would be great in here
Because it was Arbiter that got Pathed (and Path is worded that you exile the creature and then search) Arbiter is already gone by the time we search our library. If we had Arbiter and another creature and our opponent Pathed the other creature we would have had to pay to search.
I think the problem is that most Lurrus decks (Burn is a good example) aren't really graveyard decks, so if you play a bunch of Rest in Peace or Leyline of the Void type cards you usually just lose to the non-Lurrus part of the deck. That's part of what makes Lurrus so hard to deal with.
The companions mechanic should have an additional condition to make it less broken. Like exile a card from your opening hand or something to make things a bit more difficult... or exile a card that share a creature type with the companion as you play it to promote tribal builds
I always think about playing one Ambusher, but that never do for some reason. I think it's close to being playable though and I do like the potential surprise value.
your other lords cannot pump it though, and a 1/4 is worse than a 3/4 for one mana even if it ramps you. Plus it's need for lands in hand plays at odds with aether vial which wants a low land count.
This is in no way meant to offend, so hopefully it is not taken as such, 'cause I'm genuinely curious and it would explain some things, but is Seth dyslexic?
on MTGO Kaheera doesnt see Mirror Entity as a Cat in my deck ...but all it has to do is look in the "mirror" huehuehue (no but for real for some reasons its nor picking it up, but it should right?)
@@mrlescure yeah I see what happened now, it works... but it changes the blue border on the companion to red (which when you move your cursor over says, "requirements for use not met") when you add mirror entity to the deck, so I guess its just a technical issue?!? Im new to the MTGO client so Im unsure on alot of things
Yeah, it might be worth playing it as a one or two-of, although it isn't the most aggressive of Cats and we don't really have a way to get cards in our graveyard.
I think going more aggressive is a good plan. I'm planning on trying a build without Leonin Arbiter that can play Wild Nacatl and beat down. (Can't really play Nacatl and Arbiter since we need fetchlands to turn on Nacatl).
Seth I bought this version on MTGO to alternate between humans and something else lol and its actually been doing very decent www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/3011493#paper im actually playing 1 kaheera main and sth else instead of the coco (theyre in the list just so i dont forget to test them). What do you think about coco as a 1 2 of in this deck? Also 1 brimaz more could work, the card is amazing. In the sb i want to include 2 rip but havent bought them yet
Am i the only one seeing problems with the recording, it feels as if the video stops, but the audio is fine. TH-cam seems to be working and playing on my end
Kaheera guards ALL the orphaned creatures of Ikiora. Never mind if they are Nightmares or Dinos.
Except human orphans, the tastiest kind.
Basically the 5 creature types of the Apexes
@@mattherson7877 Well, humans take care of their orphans themselves. Nobody (except Kaheera) cares about a baby nightmare.
@@petrsevcik5044 if I saw a baby nightmare I'd adopt that shit in a heartbeat
But what about the baby moles?
As someone who has a cat. Buffing Nightmares makes sense to me.
"Cat Nightmare"? Why would you say the same thing twice?
The first tautological rule of the department of redundancy department is the first restated rule of the department of redundancy department
The fact that king of the pride is just a savannah lion that staples savannah lions onto every other cat you control is so great. I love the flavor of that card.
Add this to the things I learned today.
Gotta love a Savannah lion stapled on an Adorned Pouncer on T3
the flavor of kaheera is that if buffs the all the apex creature types on ikoria. I like to think that kaheera took care of them all before they got buffed
This. Each Triome features a major creature type. Kaheera buffs the dominant creature type of the triomes
Lukewarm Take: This rendition of CATS was way better then the movie
😂
Watching my cats play is way better than the movie.
The list of things better than CATS the movie is pretty long.
Watching my cat get castrated was more fun than watching the movie
I love how we are still memeing on the Cats movie 6 months later. Keep it up boys 👍
You not boarding in both Winds against Hardened Scales was killing me! Thank god you did for game 3 even though it didn't matter.
I've played this a decent amount since you put this list up; I've been playing it with a couple extra Kaheera in the main and a couple of Lurrus which is a great main addition. Loam Lion is an interesting idea, though. Might have to test that. :)
Have you been having any success with it?

@@fdterritory I think the sb needs more anti red cards
Laughed my arse off at that end of the third dredge game. Crazy sequence of events in game 2 and 3.
That was a really weird match.
seth next leveled them into mullting for the nature's claim
Now for nightmare, beast, elemental, and dinosaur tribal decks featuring Kaheera too. Also, Seth, so proud of you for saying Kaheera right most of the time.
Doing every Kaheera tribe one-by-one actually sounds pretty fun.
My brothers and I recently opened a mall in our Minecraft realm, I opened a potion store and named it much a brew after this series!
You got a code?
I loved the intro preview! Funny and non-spoiling.
Vs. Dredge, game 3
Opponent: Need to find anti-graveyard hate
Seth: I'ma punch him in the face!
It worked somehow!
You were asking about the deck tech portion of videos on twitter. The reason I skip them is because unless you're playing some crazy convoluted combo deck I generally understand what a deck is trying to do and why, so I just want to see it in action
0331ball - I do the same thing
that thumbnail is the cutest thing I have ever seen
Even companions have to do taxes ;)
That whole Dredge match was a thing of beauty
Learned something new today. The game checks in between each ability on a card if there is punctuation.
My favorite match was the Dredge Game! Seth totally deserved the win for the next level plays!
I have NEVER seen a mull to 2 win!! Wauv
10/10 intro spoiler. More like that please.
:)
Geez, The Ozolith seems to have been a major boon for Modern Hardened Scales, alongside Lurrus. It's... Pretty disgusting, from watching a match of it.
Yeah, Ozolith is absurd in the Hardened Scales deck for sure.
The ‘drawback’ to Lurrus just isn’t a drawback in decks like Burn and Scales/Affinity, because they were already not playing stuff that cost more than 2 in the first place. It’s just a free roll and it seems really gross.
Thumbnail just makes me laugh, he looks so confused
That dredge match was the most messy modern match I've ever seen
Yeah, that was wild.

This. More people needs to know the kindness of Kaheera.
Ahh, that makes more sense. I think I just wasn't deep enough into the lore of Ikoria to get it :)
That dredge match was beautiful.
I still can't believe we won that one :)
It takes care of the plane.
If you check the apexes, you can see that each color corresponds with a creature type:
Black - nightmare
Blue - elemental
White - cat
Red - dinosaur
Green - beast
So the cat protects the children of ikoria
Seeing Vial on 9, I like the video.
If only we had a Grozoth in our deck ;)
@@MTGGoldfish Not yet at least... ;)
Deck needed Reya Dawnbringer on 9 to counter Lurrus
The dredge match was pretty spectacular.
You know, between your mull to one for leyline the other week and you mull to two for Rest In Peace this week, you have had a couple of the most laughable wins over dredge I’ve ever seen. I really hope your luck there continues because this has been so funny and so fantastic.
59:47 ROFL dat reaction to the top deck haha
Kaheera takes care of the orphaned babies of all the Ikoria's non-humans. It's literaly in the name.
Third game against dredge felt like poker
Magic the Mulliganing, just as Garfield intended
Man the dredge game 3 was hilarious LOL
Sometimes you just Loam Lion them ;)
I think Adorned Pouncer would be a great addition!
Kaheera cares about those 5 tribes because the 5 Apexs (Apexi?) are always 3 of those 5, with each color being one type. Thats why they are on Kaheeras Art as well (in tiny baby form).
This is neat 😊 could maybe even sneak one or two more Kaheera in the main?
The single Black spell that returns a creature with CMC >3 also seems like a clutch addition if the mana could work. Along with the unlockable black changeling
ALSO could sneak a lurrus or two in the main lol.
I considered playing another copy or two, the awkward part is that its legendary and we always have one on turn three, so drawing too many is a risk.
Oh man, please build Naya Cat Aggro. I want to see that!
I love the thumbnail!
The day has come. Cat tribal is now better than merfolk in modern.
I know this is almost 2 years old now, but with Feline Sovereign printed in M21, cat tribal is so much better. I run it with coco, so no caracals, but I don't need to run Qasali Pridemage since Sovereign kills an artifact or enchantment as long as a cat hits, but with how many cats i cant get out, its not too hard really.
Why are there no Lurrus in the deck? Seems 1-2 of to get Arbiter back seems better than Entity imo.
Lurrus Hardened Scales looks insane. You think it could become a legitimate tier deck in the format?
It is
Last game versus Hardened Scales you named 3 cards as the best cards in their decks and they had 45 cards left. I'm sure you can take out your calculator and figure out that the chances they would draw an impactful card were pretty huge.
Cat tribal without Lurrus?!?! (Probably better known as Cat Satan.) ;)
Exactly. They keep bringing back their artifacts, you keep bringing back your Qasali Pridemage
Don't get me wrong, GW d and t is interesting, but with Kaheera, I am surprised no streamer has made a modern or pioneer version of cat aggro. That would be awesome to see.
I play it in pioneer and it's firmly okay. when your best cards are a 3 drop and a 5 drop it's hard to be a low to the ground aggro deck.
@@mystdreamy739 Yeah plus in modern you just have merfolk which is a much better aggro deck, since almost all it's lords are 2 mana. Not to mention they can all gain or be unblockable. Cat's just individually have better cards, most merfolk are 1/1s or 2/2s with basically no abilities if they are the only merfolk, while cat's has cards like pride sovereign and Brimaz. Which are sizable threats on their own but aren't exactly "aggressive creatures". So I completely agree cats just doesn't seem like the best for aggro.
Well, now I want to play modern again!
You had me at Mana Tithe
Can you try to return to this deck at some point soon?
What are your thoughts on running the new vigilance tribal card in this sideboard against red? Don’t know if it fits the requirements but it would be great in here
Burn doesnt really care
9/10 no Qasali ambusher. unless it has been there the whole time. have I been ambushed?
That card doesnt make the cut
Hmm the orphanguard makes sense she cares about any creature on the plane. Also what set is the ghost quarter from?
That art is from Innistrad
@MTGGoldfish: Is Fleecemane Lion an option?
I was thinking this too. That's one of the strongest cats IMO and cheap value
Gotta love that cat beast... no, not that one.
the deck should have been called "Cats AttaX"
Kaheera, we love you.
As much as I dislike some companions, it is sweet that Kaheera makes Cats semi-legit.
Could Mutavault be a thing in this deck? Or does that strain the mana too much?
You already have 5 colorless lands with 4 gq and 1 gavony more would be astretch
Missed the opportunity to put leonin relic warder into sb
How can you search without paying @ 50:29 ?
Because Leonin Arbiter isn't on the battlefield we he searched
Because it was Arbiter that got Pathed (and Path is worded that you exile the creature and then search) Arbiter is already gone by the time we search our library. If we had Arbiter and another creature and our opponent Pathed the other creature we would have had to pay to search.
@@MTGGoldfish ahh i see now
Why can you have Mirror Entity in the main and I cant have Chameleon Colossus if both have Changeling? is this a bug?
This is a bug but you can still cast kaheera
@@aklepatzky i made the same comment before you did up above I was confused as heck by the bug
I'm a simple man. I see Mana Tithe I press like.
Why not playing some Lurrus maindeck ?
So with all the Lurrus out there is it time to start playing graveyard hate in the main again?
I think the problem is that most Lurrus decks (Burn is a good example) aren't really graveyard decks, so if you play a bunch of Rest in Peace or Leyline of the Void type cards you usually just lose to the non-Lurrus part of the deck. That's part of what makes Lurrus so hard to deal with.
Now this is my kinda deck
The companions mechanic should have an additional condition to make it less broken. Like exile a card from your opening hand or something to make things a bit more difficult... or exile a card that share a creature type with the companion as you play it to promote tribal builds
Yeah, starting with a one card smaller opening hand would do a lot to balance it
Just wait. The next bunch will be complete jank
Y no ambushes mr.Olive?
I always think about playing one Ambusher, but that never do for some reason. I think it's close to being playable though and I do like the potential surprise value.
@@MTGGoldfishah. They definitely can lead to some funny blowouts.
Hmm why arent you playing lurrus in maindeck, a copy or two? its a cat?
No Grazer!, lol. Love the hate. Thanks Seth. Lol.
A couple weeks ago: Seth wins on a mull to one.
This video: wins on a mull to two
Me: what’s going on???
Mull to 3 win incoming
Where is Lurrus ?!
This was a weird moment in Magic.
Companions were the biggest mistake since phyrexian mana. Wizards have stated that free spells were a mistake. I think free cards is even worse.
TFW Seth removes Arboreal Grazer because it's not a Cat, but maybe doesn't realize Kaheera can pump Beasts too
your other lords cannot pump it though, and a 1/4 is worse than a 3/4 for one mana even if it ramps you. Plus it's need for lands in hand plays at odds with aether vial which wants a low land count.
Yeah, Kaheera can pump it, but King of the Pride and Regal Caracal can't. Plus 23 lands just isn't enough to make Grazer good.
@@MTGGoldfish oof, thats right.
How did seth do this before Pleasantkenobi
Vince is slacking, just like his beard ;)
This is in no way meant to offend, so hopefully it is not taken as such, 'cause I'm genuinely curious and it would explain some things, but is Seth dyslexic?

Saffron Make a "Little kids" Naya Aggro Cats because ur right it works! Is it perhaps possible that I send you a list?
Yeah! I've been working on aggro Cats too. I'd love to take a look at your list.
Ooohhh dredge, the only deck that can lose to a mull to 2 if they get graveyard hate
Apparently one land and Rest in Peace is good enough :)
Actually dredge has a tendency to win those due to boarding in claims and forces
No cavern of souls?
Seems like we probably should have some copies at least.
The combination of wording between Modular and The Ozolith is just wrong
It's really powerful since it essentially doubles up the number of counters.
@@MTGGoldfish Exactly, it's because the 2 mentioned cards have abilities that says "move" the counters it feels like it sould not be the way it is
Does lurrus complete bogles?
Lurrus completes every modern deck that wants to cast 1 and 2 drops. Card will be banned soon though so it's whatever.
Lurrus completes like half of the decks in Modern, until it gets banned at least.

Taxi cats?
Maybe could've named it "cat-attax"
More cats !

MTGGoldfish that’s true
No fleecemane Lion 😩
Fleecemane is always either the last Cat in the deck or the first Cat out of the deck. This time it just missed the cut thanks to Leonin Arbiter.
Playing Cat Tribal..not playing any Lurrus main deck.

couldn't yoiu just play lurrus in the main deck? it's a cat that can recur the low end.
the low end isn't much the big thing to recur would be vial, there's plenty of premium 3 drops without it.
We could, the challenge is that we don't really get stuff into the graveyard very easily, so a lot of the time Lurrus will just be a 3/2 lifelinker.
@@MTGGoldfish That makes sense. Getting back loam lions and qasali pride mages isn't quite enough reason to jam it in.
