as someone who listens to Seth's videos passively, Hedge Mage instead of Hedge Maze and Analysis instead of Analyst was making me very confused. now i want to make my own versions of Seth's spoken cards that are typed the way he was speaking about them in the video.
Could be a pretty fun set of proxies - maybe with some derpy, cartoonish art. There's certainly a wealth of mispronunciations available, if you go back through his video catalogue
@Itfailed There's actually a spicier wincon that I'm surprised Seth didn't mention. If you have 12 fetches/legendary lands in yard and Analyst + Nissa + Slogurk in play you make infinite mana by looping Analyst with Takenuma and Slogurk. Eventually you mill a Jace and then you loop Jace until your opponent decks
For a long time, a 0 mana sorcery that just said "draw a card" would be the most played card in every format because it lets you effectively play a 56 card deck in constructed (98 card deck in Commander and 3x card deck in limited, depending on how many you could draft). Since Yorion came around, however, all sorts of deck sizes have been popping up. It's a very interesting time. "The less cards, the better" is no longer necessarily an absolute.
This deck won the Chicago 75k Standard Open a few weeks back, kudos to that pilot for bringing some spice. But Seth is right, enjoy this list while you can seems fragile.
You know, it says something about the state of standard when you think you're watching some historic or timeless deck and it turns out it's just standard.
I always love watching Seth play, but this deck looks like a coma to watch, play, or play against. Combos that are based on endless stacks of triggers wear out their welcome rather quickly even when the concept of the deck is pretty sweet.
I love the inclusion of Ertai: it can force the opponent to draw a card after milling them out. Niche, but hey, it might matter. Plenty of Takenuma's and Mana to go around to make it work.
Excited to see this deck and Conspiracy Unraveler combo more in Bo3 so I can play against it with my deck that's already running 3 Soul-Guide Lanterns in the sideboard lol.
41:07 I understand why he's keeping mana by not saccing, but it's funny hearing Saf say "wed just be gaining a bunch of life" against an aggro deck lmao
Aftermath Analyst is an interesting card. I just built a deck I call Restless Naya in standard. It has Restless Bivouac, Prairie, and Ridgeline, Mirrex, and Sunken Citadel alongside some basics. It uses Case of the Locked Hothouse, Aftermath Analyst, Topiary Stomper, and Blossoming Tortoise to power out as many lands as possible then swings in with a bunch of man-lands. I won my first match, but I think my opponent scooped because he did the math wrong. The fact that a deck like this even sort of functions shows how wierd and varied standard is right now.
ive been playing this as a mill deck. bouncing slogurk and getting takenuma to get back the analysis to generate infinite mana and then getting the Jace to mill my opposites
For the match 4 (and other matches, really), you can loop your Jace with Slogurk and the channel land. Which is quite lethal as Jace can send it self back to graveyard with a massive mill. Two loops should be enough to win the game.
I ran into this the first time a few days ago and couldn't figure out what it was trying to do. I had a Sylex out and farewelled creatures and yards and they just scooped so I was so confused until now. 😂
It feels like this deck needs a fling effect. The adventure fling can be returned from the graveyard with the black land and you get the red mana from Nissa.
How can you be running a Landfall deck without the various iterations of Omnath??? Both Rage and Roil compliment each other quite nicely. Omnath, Locus of Rage creates an army of 5/5 elementals by spitting one out with each land hitting the table...then once you're finally done popping off with land drops for the turn, you drop Omnath, Locus of the Roil, which deals 1 damage to any target for every elemental you have in play when it ETBs, and every elemental that ETBs afterward lets you put a +1/+1 counter on one of them and if you have 8 or more lands, you get to draw a card. Then you have the Ancient Greenwarden which lets you play lands from the graveyard and it causes your Landfall triggers to happen an additional time for each one in play. Pair those up with Risen Reefs to continually combo off of the Omnaths making more elementals on every land drop and giving them +1/+1 counters in addition to all of the card draws that the Roil Omnath provides, and then you get even MORE card draws if you have Tatyova, Benthic Druid in play. She's a legendary with Simic colors that gives you 1 life and a card draw for every land that ETBs. Once you have all of those on the table there is only two cards left to really pop off. Ashaya, Soul of the Wild to make ALL of your creatures lands so that every creature that ETBs also triggers your landfall cards (thus also making most removal spells and effects fizzle because a lot of them say either destroy or exile "target non-land permanent"), and the Cultivator Colossus which lets you continually play a land, then draw a card infinitely until your library is empty (careful with that because you do NOT want to use Colossus to empty your library while you still have draw triggers on the stack from Tatyova or you will lose the game). Then you can either cast Oracle of Thassa or Jace, Wielder of Mysteries to seal the win for no cards left....OR you can attack with Ashaya and the Colossus if you casted them on a prior turn for 20+ damage each with Trample for lethal. Edit: I forgot to add that if you have Ashaya in play, now that your creatures are all triggering Landfall, so does a Panharmonicon if you have one active. Ordinarily it does not interact with Landfall at all but thanks to Ashaya it is essentially another Greenwarden and will act and operate accordingly causing yet ANOTHER round of Landfall triggers. Add in an Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines and you have yet another set of triggers. With each of those in play with Tatyova, you will draw out your deck VERY quickly, gain tons of life, and make a LOT of mana via the Lotus Cobras and Nissa, Resurgent Animist who also gives mana on land drops.
ive got- a new build as well, that dumpsters a lot of decks, this one included. Gonna be doing a vid on it soon, missing a few key cards to make it run super smooth, this is a fun deck tho
Since we are talking about lands I saw commander podcast on full art lands. I'm curious Seth what would be your favorite full art lands and the one you dislike the most? Thanks
Seth, im honestly surprised you dont have a Field of Ruin in here just for giggles, repeatedly being able to blow up pesky Mirrex's and man lands let alone duals, seems on brand for you and this deck
Seth must just *barely* glance at the names of cards before deciding how to pronounce them because I KNOW he knows the difference between an "analyst" and an "analysis". In what world would an analysis be a creature card anyway?
Would it be worth it to add 2-3 copies of spelunking, so that the lands from the fetch's and other none fetch lands enter untaped when casting splendid reclamation? I mean, it would give you more mana to work with.
@@AricHaldan0782nissa makes the fetches generate mana even when you have no basics left in deck and is retrievable with takenuma so it's a big difference
Psychogenic Probe, if it were in Standard, would be an absolutely hilarious counter to this deck given how many shuffle events it technically triggers. XD
Me: What is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself undergoing any permanent chemical change? Seth: Catalysis Me: What is a precious stone consisting of a violet or purple variety of quartz? Seth: Amethysis.
I definitely saw a few hard grave-hate pieces at the standard regional qualifier in the mainboards. They kept eating my prototypes and dinosaurs so I couldn't Pull them back ;_;
I can only imagine the excitement and terror of seeing your opponent is "SaffronOlive" and that the deck is 68 cards. You just *know* you're in for a wild time.
You should play a Crisis, Titan of the waves Brawl deck! There only only 2 cards and some utility lands, doesn't really matter which. Laelia and Etali's favor!
Seth repeatedly calling Analyst "Analysis". LOL 😂
What about him calling Hedge Maze "Hedge Mage"
After the first word of any card Seth just reads the first letter and guesses the rest.
@@Samst0n Seth Definitely doesn't care about how words are pronounced. That much is clear
I was excitedly watching the entire video to see if he noticed it at any point.
@@chazzer5968 Exactly. Slaughter "Stinger". Meanwhile my ears are melting of the cringe.
Analysis is performed by an analyst.
spot the difference? -.-
some of my other favorite creatures are snapcaster magic and dragon's rage channeling
Unless the analysis is being mechanically performed, then it's an analyzer...I think? 🤔
@@lesternomo6578 My personal favorite is the Pangalatic Wurm.
I swear he does it on purpose for the comment engagement.
Analyst, Seth. An-a-lyst. ...My soul hurts. I can't believe you've done this
as someone who listens to Seth's videos passively, Hedge Mage instead of Hedge Maze and Analysis instead of Analyst was making me very confused. now i want to make my own versions of Seth's spoken cards that are typed the way he was speaking about them in the video.
make a subreddit for it
hedge mage: some kind of crazy selesnya - izzet - simic collaboration
aftermath analysis:
some kind of effect based on stuff dying recently
Could be a pretty fun set of proxies - maybe with some derpy, cartoonish art. There's certainly a wealth of mispronunciations available, if you go back through his video catalogue
Imagine playing this in paper, more shuffling than a Legacy deck 😅 Makes the win all the more impressive
Thankfully you can short cut multiple fetches
I mean this deck won 1st at the Standard open tournament at Pro Tour / MagicCon MKM (Chicago) a week or two ago so probably not too crazy?
someone did and won the chicago con standard tournament with it
@Pug8 when I said 'Makes the win all the more impressive', this is what I was referring to
I actually think it would be easier in paper. All the triggers on Arena make finishing on time very hard!
Missed opportunity to have 69 cards in the deck
68 cards is sending a message, we're very serious here
A 68 is when you do a 69 to a girl and then you owe her one.
With all that mana, doppelgang as a one of seems like it would be fun.
@Itfailed There's actually a spicier wincon that I'm surprised Seth didn't mention.

The good thing about a 68- that's where you do me and then I owe you one 😉
The last game the opponent went to do their taxes the game took so long.
I played against this deck over the weekend and it was pretty wild to watch it go off, no salt scoop just sat there enjoying the ride.
I just started running into it too. Of course with the decks with no sideboard graveyard hate, games were painful
Analysis is the new Brothershood

A - NA - LIST ... I love u man but sometimes u kill me XD
Slaw-Gerk.. yeah it gets me too
I kinda feel like this deck could use some way to fling a summoning sick Slogurk
A-NA-LYST
ANAL-YST
2 hour standard video? Let's go!
You know, it says something about the state of standard when you think you're watching some historic or timeless deck and it turns out it's just standard.
This reminds me a bit of mono Green Aurora. One of my all-time favorites!

I'm disappointed they didn't play "of our city" when Seth say "The Toxicity"
YOU, WHAT DO YOU OWN THE WORLD?
@@hablasetacobell HOW DO YOU OWN DISORDER? DISORDER!
really enjoy the donald duck on helium producing mana XD
Excited to see this deck and Conspiracy Unraveler combo more in Bo3 so I can play against it with my deck that's already running 3 Soul-Guide Lanterns in the sideboard lol.
Oh jeeeeez, I hadn't seen Aftermath Analyst. That would be absurdly good in Gitrog Thalia.
When I saw the title my first thought was that the combo had 68 pieces
41:07 I understand why he's keeping mana by not saccing, but it's funny hearing Saf say "wed just be gaining a bunch of life" against an aggro deck lmao
now I want to try and make a version of this deck with Gitrog Monster for pioneer. Amazing deck Seth!
I am looking at Valakut Exploration in Pioneer, plus Lotus Cobra for redundancy on mana accel.
Seth: "I don't want to keep comboing for no reason"
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH SETH!
I love when decks have more than 60 cards but they're few and far between

13:30 why wouldn’t you block the other one?

Is there no good way to give haste with all that mana? weak point seems to be you need to untap after popping off
The pop off is playing Jace a bunch
I ran into this the first time a few days ago and couldn't figure out what it was trying to do. I had a Sylex out and farewelled creatures and yards and they just scooped so I was so confused until now. 😂
reminds me of ratablade in that it's a rogue brew that took over a tournament and becomes a fun flavour of the week deck
Sometimes i get this feeling seth streches his name every video a bit more…oooooooolive XD

Two hour Seth video, this gunna be GOOD
1:00:06 Why did you bounce the bird land AFTER it hit you?
”We don't wanna be rude”
*Proceeds to cast unnecessary spells instead of just swinging
So... when will we try upping it to 75 with Lotus Cobra and Yorion in Explorer/Pioneer?
DaWuki's toxic deck was really cool!
Something like the fling on Callous Sell-Sword might be good here too
I enjoyed this video, that said play turbofog 🙌🏾
A nice long one today. Fantastic.
what set is that island u have with a bridge between two mountains, it looks good 8:30
ive got- a new build as well, that dumpsters a lot of decks, this one included. Gonna be doing a vid on it soon, missing a few key cards to make it run super smooth, this is a fun deck tho
Since we are talking about lands I saw commander podcast on full art lands. I'm curious Seth what would be your favorite full art lands and the one you dislike the most? Thanks
Could you make this deck work in Pioneer but with the super underrated card Retreat to Hagra?
bro literally had a word for word bar for bar copy of your deck. That’s crazy
Seth, im honestly surprised you dont have a Field of Ruin in here just for giggles, repeatedly being able to blow up pesky Mirrex's and man lands let alone duals, seems on brand for you and this deck
Is there a format where some version of this deck can work with anger to speed up the slogurk kill?
There’s a 99% chance he faces a near mirror matchup in these videos
1:18:15 wouldn't drawing the 2nd Jace win you the game there?
Seth must just *barely* glance at the names of cards before deciding how to pronounce them because I KNOW he knows the difference between an "analyst" and an "analysis". In what world would an analysis be a creature card anyway?
also, how did i miss that Splendid Rec got reprinted?
Would it be worth it to add 2-3 copies of spelunking, so that the lands from the fetch's and other none fetch lands enter untaped when casting splendid reclamation? I mean, it would give you more mana to work with.
could also act as 5th and 6th copy of nissa so seems worth to me, except that the fetchlands don't tap for mana I guess
@@AricHaldan0782nissa makes the fetches generate mana even when you have no basics left in deck and is retrievable with takenuma so it's a big difference
Psychogenic Probe, if it were in Standard, would be an absolutely hilarious counter to this deck given how many shuffle events it technically triggers. XD
i use splendid reclamation in my ruin crab deck, i also run scapeshift to dump lands into the graveyard
Me not like when Set is not poisoned.
Spelunking could've been bonkers in this deck.
I thought for sure he would make room for at least one.
Me: What is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself undergoing any permanent chemical change?
Seth: Catalysis
Me: What is a precious stone consisting of a violet or purple variety of quartz?
Seth: Amethysis.
I feel like spelunking could be strong in the deck though I don’t know what you’d remove for it.
Vlade Divac was a deep cut, I appreciated
Missed opportunity to have a “NICE” numbered deck
Is there some special math to the 68? Or is it just to account for the fetch lands?
You should add bringer or the last gift to reanimate the creatures
I love all your guy’s content! Still new to Magic so videos like this help me. But I just realized it’s Saffron Olive not “Staff From All Live”…
The squeaking at 25:25 🤣🤣
I definitely saw a few hard grave-hate pieces at the standard regional qualifier in the mainboards. They kept eating my prototypes and dinosaurs so I couldn't Pull them back ;_;
Impressive deck-OMG
Aftermath Analysis is insane.
24:14 this is why you shouldnt correct seth's mispronunciations... you will overload his circuits!!
Playing the mirror match with this deck is absolutely CURSED

You should play a Crisis, Titan of the waves Brawl deck!

It adds an extra layer of surprise to the original Laelia brawl jank
I love Seth and his mispronunciations but I dunno why every time he said analysis instead of analyst my soul died a bit hahaha

YOUR KILLING ME SETH!
"Who plays 68 cards!?"
Me sitting across from a person with a deck of literally 200+ rares and mythics. Lol
Would be nice if the deck had one more card... for reasons
There should be 4 Splendid Reclamations. If it is gonna be a meme deck it should probably be 69 cards :V
This isn't a meme deck. It won the $75k standard tournament at Magicon Chicago. Idk why SaffronOlive didn't mention that part.
@@yitzchokbraunfeld8333 I stand by my comment.
I've been running this since it took down magicon Chicago
The first match had a Jason Dennis aura
dont let the haters dissuade you, seth. The cards are pronounced however you deem they should be pronounced.
This is basically my sidisi commander deck, super fun, but long turns. My friends hate it...
I'd be tempted to play spelunking and field of ruin. Maybe cut scry lands to up the basics
Decks great. I played it
Your poor opponents... This combo takes fooorever.
Slogurk has been seeing play for a while now.
seth… match two game one you could have payed the cleave cost for path of peril. board wipe would have given you enough time to rebuild
Anafenzalist is so good with the takehiro land
Reading is FUN-damental
1 card short of true Meme Deck status.
It’s been 2 hours, looks like a couple people have finished the video
Slogurk is not the main wincon, Jace mill is
Am I the only one that until now thought Nissa just drew a card on the second lamd etb??
Alchemy change?
@aaronmaas7843 I don't think Nissa ever got Alchemy errata. As of right now, there is no difference.
this deck would really be rockin with lotus cobra
I play 68 cards 🤚.
I can’t help it. I make sure to never go over 70, but can never stay at 60. I always end up around 64 to 66.
