What I wanna know is, who is this Collector that was able to get Emrakul into a cage in the first place. I sure hope we acquired his Cage through legitimate means, cause I don't want him coming for me. Also, Seth is literally the only MTG content creator that can get me to watch MTGO play. I wouldn't suffer through that for anyone else.
Oh man, I normally don't really care about Seth's punts, or anyone's really, but that end to match 3 just... I need to take a break, I'll finish this video later
Anyone else notice the different wording on newer hideaway cards? It's wild that original pre-errata Hideaway has so much baggage. Hideaway caused the permanent to enter tapped, no matter what permanent you put it on. And if it somehow didn't (like Spelunking) then it just doesn't hideaway. It also was always 4 cards.
@@thedude5able digging several cards deep, letting you choose from a selection, and then putting a creature into play - often at instant speed? Totally different.
It's ceiling is radically higher but it's less consistent gas. Getting a big hit on cage is kinda broken, balanced by needing more setup and getting luckier.
@@ezramiller8936 nope, an ability is not a spell. Oblivion Ring style effects get through "protection from colored spells" because they're abilities, not spells
If you change emrakul to a different white bomb like avacyn/iona/emissary/moonshaker you can at least pitch it to solitude but emrakul definitely feels more fun
Awesome deck :) maybe replace Emrakul with something you can pitch to solitude, so it's not a completely dead draw? Iona? Idk what white cards are best to cheat out. Probably Iona.
sweet deck! Maybe there is another big spell that is a better fail case than emrakul if it ends up in your hand, something actually castable late-game or at least pitchable to solitude.
13:55 while this only would’ve worked if they still blocked with the meddling mage (which they might not have if you still had 2 cards in hand), keeping the inspector in hand would’ve let you solitude post combat.
The way I think you should take this deck, is to swap out the Emrakuls for something like split cards, or adventure cards, cards where you can reasonably cast one side of them without needing to cheat them but can put them under the Collector's Cage to cheat out the other side. Maybe go White-Black and play Valki?
ZNR spell lands, especially the white one and maybe the green one seem good. Not as flashy but they can take up land spots so you're not sacrificing deck consistency
I’m wondering if we could add any landcycler’s to help with more big hits off hideaway and running less lands. And I wonder if we are a nythos deck with all our pips sometimes just cast the fatties? Love the vid!
You definitely could've gotten cage and activated M1G1. 4 mana + Hideaway land, tap 2 for Lieutenant, tap 1 + hideaway land to activate, then tap the last plains to activate the cage.
Seth, please make the Riku OoTJ deck (against the odds). Could add Three Steps Ahead, Great Train Heist, Trash the Town, Archdruid’s Charm, et al. -Thanks
I've been seeing CC go off turn 3 consistently with thoptors and green dorks. One of em was this convoluted omniscience, getting spells from outside the game, exchange graveyard and hand, loose half life storm thing.
@saffronolive @mtggoldfish When you sideboard, it looks like the cards have borders on them as if you don't actually own the cards. Is this a visual bug or like an "all-access" thing?
13:30 TBH that would have kinda was the obvious call when they already saw 2 otherworldly lights. That last game they can still solitude ephemerate. They put the evoke trigger last on the stack exile thalia, ephemerate, and exile something else.
Green White could be interesting. You could use the 0/1 mana dork with exalted. Could be good to ramp and have a 0 power creature that can also pump another creature
In match 4 does the token created by Adeline count toward the number of creatures that attacked or not? If yes, then you could have activated Windbrisk Heights still and potentially won?
No, Adeline's token enters 'attacking', so it never actually 'attacked' (it wasn't declared as an attacker). It's a subtle difference but often important to cases like this. See Rule 508.4 "Such creatures are “attacking” but, for the purposes of trigger events and effects, they never “attacked.”"
The evoke reminder text states "you may cast this card for its evoke cost, if you do, sacrifice it when it enters the battlefield" so, still is casting.
43:06 I’m not the best with strategy of this game so maybe I missed something, but couldn’t Seth attack with both creatures, Adeline makes a token, that’s three creatures attacked, use three creatures attack to activate the land to play emrakul, since it’s cast get a second turn, attack clears most of the opponents board then win?
@@Ornithopter470 shouldn't the token enters attacking and then dies to state base action? windbrisk only check if you attacked with 3 or more creatures during the turn. correct me if i'm wrong
@@whiteirius4328 You are correct that it enters attacking, but unfortunately this does not mean that it *attacked* and so it would *not* count towards Windbrisk. See Rule 508.4 "Such creatures are “attacking” but, for the purposes of trigger events and effects, they never “attacked.”"
43:23 if you attack with both creatures Adeline triggers and puts in the third attacker, so you could play Emrakul with Windbrisk Heights making it a very interesting win! Or am i missing something?
I think it wouldn't work. Windrbrisk Height ask of you to "have attacked with 3 or more creatures" as in "declared 3 or more creatures as attackers", the token from Adeline is put in play attacking but is never declared as attacker
End of match 3, couldnt he still have gotten the emrakul by attacking with the 2 creatures then getting the token which dies immediately but was still attacking for the third creature?
I have an idea for a silly standart brew: you know the new judith, shes probably more of a commander, but what of you could play commander in standart?? Because: there are 2 1mana deal 1 damage to every enemy creature cards currently legal (end the festivities, tectonic hazard), which are board wipes when shes out, and theres corrupted conviction for the good ol value train, while you ping you opponent bc you can just sac your imps to the card draws.. now, i'm n standart player or declbuilding expert, but it sounds cool and i would really want to try it out, but i have no wildcards 😂😂 Would love to see a take on this from one of you! Edit: thought Village rites is Standart legal, its Not, so I removed it from the post
One the of the issues I see is that your trying to play this like a humans deck... If you look at Aspiring Spikes build its more of a combo deck that tries to kill the opponent on T3 more consistently but with a backup plan of playing a lot of little creatures
i dont understand why you lost match 3. You attack with adeline, warden, and adeline creates a creature token attacking. That makes 3 creatures and then just activate windbrisk heights in second main??
By now, I'm not sure anymore if Seth is saying Champion of the Perished on purpose to troll or not.
For once I think it's an honest mistake.
I feel like you're giving him way too much credit.
Personally I think 99% of the time it’s not trolling.
Seth never trolls. Magic players can't read. And if you can't read, you don't have a hope of getting the pronunciation correct.
It's Seth. That's your answer.
#breaksKayfabe
Champion of the Perished looking pretty good in humans
I love a mono white zombie deck. Wait wrong Champion haha
I know it’s Seth but “dawnbringer chariot” is crazy
Wouldn’t have it another way

Match 1 Game 3 Might have been the greatest piece of content you have produced to date.
There’s quite a bit of competition for that title. But it is up there.
It was such a close call and such a cool interaction. Great moment!
Oh man, I normally don't really care about Seth's punts, or anyone's really, but that end to match 3 just... I need to take a break, I'll finish this video later
That match one..... no one ever expect the lovecraftian inquisition.
Thank you for going into detail on the sideboard instead of just going "We got hate cards in the sideboard"
I lol’d at the “pretentious” reference. Such a throwback!
Wow. MASSIVE Game 3 punt.
Moral of the story kids;
Never stop trying to win.
Never go for the cool play over winning the game.
I’ve been playing this deck a bit under the radar! How dare you Seth! Lol it’s a super sweet deck
cant help but smile when i hear Seth say POPPING OFF
The true lethal is not Emrakul but the humans we cast along the way
I wish I could like a comment more than once.
Anyone else notice the different wording on newer hideaway cards? It's wild that original pre-errata Hideaway has so much baggage. Hideaway caused the permanent to enter tapped, no matter what permanent you put it on. And if it somehow didn't (like Spelunking) then it just doesn't hideaway. It also was always 4 cards.
I'm glad you explained this.
I kept thinking 'powers' meant special abilities.
Collector's Cage feels like a sort of Collective Company.
I mean, it’s serving a very different purpose than CoCo

@@Umezete that's a perfect way to describe it.
emrakul is cool and all but 15 humans with a dead wonder is enough to take her down
You're also gonna need 6 things to sac to annihilator
Just cast Leyline Binding.
@@ScornfulEg0tistWe don't need lands.
Doesn't "protection from colored spells" prevent targeting as part of the ability?
@@ezramiller8936 nope, an ability is not a spell. Oblivion Ring style effects get through "protection from colored spells" because they're abilities, not spells

Awesome deck :) maybe replace Emrakul with something you can pitch to solitude, so it's not a completely dead draw? Iona? Idk what white cards are best to cheat out. Probably Iona.
Iona is probably the best, but she's not really great. There aren't a ton of good creatures for white to cheat out
I think Enduring Bondwarden is really interesting for Collector's Cage humans. Super versatile in immediately or eventually hitting Coven.
sweet deck! Maybe there is another big spell that is a better fail case than emrakul if it ends up in your hand, something actually castable late-game or at least pitchable to solitude.
Could Moonshaker Cavalry work?

This deck will be much better in a few months when brainstorm is modern legal
will definitely be trying this out, windbrisk is such a nostalgic card for me
Collector's Cage in an Urza's Saga shell.
Saga finds Brainstone to set up the card you want under the cage.

So excited to see some non-arena gameplay!
This is a sweet brew. I like it.
Seth, please make the Riku OoTJ deck (against the odds). Could add Three Steps Ahead, Great Train Heist, Trash the Town, Archdruid’s Charm, et al. -Thanks
Whats a really good white creature that could replace Emrakul?
Feel like the deck would be more consistant with a white card to pitch
I've been seeing CC go off turn 3 consistently with thoptors and green dorks. One of em was this convoluted omniscience, getting spells from outside the game, exchange graveyard and hand, loose half life storm thing.
It's cool to see Solar Flare still around.
@saffronolive @mtggoldfish When you sideboard, it looks like the cards have borders on them as if you don't actually own the cards. Is this a visual bug or like an "all-access" thing?
I would love to see you play collector's cage in timeless with Displacer Kitten!!!
13:30 TBH that would have kinda was the obvious call when they already saw 2 otherworldly lights.
That last game they can still solitude ephemerate. They put the evoke trigger last on the stack exile thalia, ephemerate, and exile something else.
Mr Goldfish is a new name I've yet to see before lmao
I love Cavern of Souls. Wish they would reprint it into bulk rare status. We need more cards that reward you for creature type synergy
so would this deck be better splashing red for nahiri? gives the deck a way to discard emrakul and a cluncky 3rd way to cheat emmy
Lets go the mtgo masters deck =). Love the content Seth!
Why use Horizon Canopy instead of Silent Clearing? One less life lost for Dismember, whereas green is useless
Green White could be interesting. You could use the 0/1 mana dork with exalted. Could be good to ramp and have a 0 power creature that can also pump another creature
Khalni garden and dryad arbor are free creatures too
This is definitely not how I remember Eldrazi and Taxes....
Week 2 of mourning Seth‘s cowboy hat 😔

@@anaphysik what a wonderfully nit picky rule. This is what makes magic great lol
42:30 you can evoke to hit Iona correct? Evoke wouldnt be blocked by Iona since it's not cast?
Evoke is an alternate cost but it still counts as cast unfortunately
The evoke reminder text states "you may cast this card for its evoke cost, if you do, sacrifice it when it enters the battlefield" so, still is casting.
Lol both spike and goldfish do the same deck on the same day
saffronolive played this deck in mtgo masters, if anything spike is the one chasing him this time
MTGO HYPEEE
A modern video?!?! In this economy ?!?! Wild.
where do u guys play magic online?
M1G2 couldnt you just block and strike again on the last turn? What am i missing?
Scion of Draco has flying.
If you're wondering if the title is deceptive... Turn 3 Emrakul happens in match 5.

No, because of elesh norn. That token goes to graveyard before Seth gets priority

Could this be the deck for force of rage? One mana and one creature turns on Collector's cage if you force of rage
Wouldnt a bounce land add some consistency to the deck? This way you can drop the hideaway land again if you fail to find an emrakul
Windbrisk heights as a tapland already slows you down enough. More taplands is not a good idea.
Hmm, a thought. Omen hawker can pay for channel and plot...
But I'm way too broke on wildcards to make that. 😊

Would love to see a take on this from one of you!
Edit: thought Village rites is Standart legal, its Not, so I removed it from the post
I have a cool deck that you might like, how would I get you the list?
is this what they meant when they sadi Emrakul was the wanderer all along?
SETH CAN YOU DO LILAH + SPLIT INSTANT AND SORCERY CARDS?
Triggers? We don’t need no stinking triggers!
Anyone know why all the cards are hazard-striped when he's sideboarding?
Emrakul, I choose you!
"Grow the dork. Grow thr dork."
Umm... actually, those are weenies, not dorks.
umm actually... it doesn't matter
I’ve always had this thought. To me dorks make mana. Anything else is a weenie or a chump.
Game 1: Domain deck stuck on 2 Shocklands. Wow.
not very important but wouldn't 2 Thraben Inspector and 2 Novice Inspector be better
I've missed the janky modern brews so much
Nice! ❤❤❤
I don't think i'll see the day where Seth actually pronounce all cards in his deck correctly.
It would almost be more of a troll for him to go an entire video without mispronouncing anything at this point.
Seth is addicted to mispronunciations and will always Scumble to Temptation.
This seems funny
You have to have less fear seth lol, play to your "combo" its the whole plan anyways
Add Ornothopters for a 0 Power 0 cost creature, my dude
One the of the issues I see is that your trying to play this like a humans deck... If you look at Aspiring Spikes build its more of a combo deck that tries to kill the opponent on T3 more consistently but with a backup plan of playing a lot of little creatures
modern content
Bro game 1 you could have used the cage but KEPT SAYING YOU COULDN'T?!?!
Pretty absurd your opponent had the same creativity draw 3 games in a row on turn 4-5
Seth please, your desktop is almost full 😭
Coulda been a 5-0, so close
Solitude was not good in this. The list is probably also better with the green flip card and the new Ajani and Ocelot.
Saaaaaaaaafroooooonnnnnn Ooooolllliiiivvvvveeeee
This humans deck is soooooooo troll.
Should’ve had the 5-0 😢
Please tell me that Seth does realize that Containment Priest will stop the hideaway plan.
No it won't. Hideaway does cast, it just casts from exile while ignoring mana cost, things Containment Priest doesn't care about.
i dont understand why you lost match 3. You attack with adeline, warden, and adeline creates a creature token attacking. That makes 3 creatures and then just activate windbrisk heights in second main??
budget deck... 600 dolars on card market
new affinity looks fucing stupid!
MTGO is still so ugly. And it actually got worse after version 2.5.
