@@reallysmallbird Exactly! Why does he have to be evil? Maybe he's just in a bad mood. Maybe he found out his wife was sleeping with his brother or he just got fired. We don't know the motivations of Overlords, I'm tired of people always calling them evil! They're just misunderstood, is all. Poor Overlord, I want to give him a hug, pat his bum and tell him everything will be alright.
I got to play against you playing this deck! I was super surprised when your name popped up. I didn’t make the video, but it was super cool to play against you!
36:00 basically every t1 deck is drawing at least 2 cards per turn. Even R/x has emberheart to see more cards per turn. When the cards are as powerful as they are right now, you have to be turboing through duds to find lethal or answers. Relying on your draw phase and topdecking land is killer.
In response to all the colors having a card advantage engine except for red, red sort of does because of Emberheart Challenger exiling extra cards whenever it's targeted.
Red has several exile top of library cards including several planeswalkers for it, but I’d also make the argument the reason none of them see play is because the enchantment that just creates an X/1 every turn is a better anti control card than any of those you could sleeve up
They even downshifted at least one Modern Horizons card to standard. Of course the one I know of was Goblin Oriflamme, which is more of a reference than an actual card. It's so bad I've not seen it played or brewed with at all
Merry Christmas Seth! My parents got me the second My Little Pony lair drop, so I can finally build Twilight Sparkle :) I hope you and the crew are doing just as well today
33:25 i will eat my fathers homemade fruitcake that is made a month or two before Christmas. But he pours a shot of rum onto it each day for a month. 😆
"OK, so I want to make a giant Silent Hallcreeper. How should I do that?" "IDK, some kind of Azorius Auras deck?" "Nah, let's make it in the dumbest way possible."
Seth: Today we've built a deck around [CARD NAME]. I'm really looking forward to finding out what [CARD NAME] can do. Seth, sideboarding later in the video: I think we'll cut [CARD NAME].
What you're talking about for mana spent should be easy to implement. It's basically the same thing that memory deluge does. It's honestly a great way to protect a card from abuse, far more so than "if cast from hand"
43:21 X spells already trigger Up the Beanstalk because their mana value counts the X while they're on the stack (see CR 202.3e and the ruling on Gatherer)
Fruit cake is fine when it's made like homemade bread and comes out like a loaf. I'd take that over 10++++ egg yolks in a ton of milk and sugar, aka, nogg :p

Thanks for the analysis! Could you help me with something unrelated: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?
My grandmother used to eat fruit cake every year...always trying to get the rest of us to try it. Well...when she passed away, in honor of her, we tried it. It's terrible lol
_Does_ Gwenna do that much for Overlords? If I can cast her, I can already impend most of them, and if I can impend one, I can use any of seven other cards to cheat it into a creature for an extra trigger. Yeah, her ability is repeatable but it's hard to beat Zur for repeatable Overlord cheating. Maybe if you're playing GR then Zur isn't an option and Hauntwoods and Biggles are enough? Actually this is sounding pretty sick-big Timmy creatures powered by elves, with Overlords doubling as ramp and removal? Only trouble is I'm not sure how it survives aggro and black nonsense without white sweepers …
Regarding Up the Beanstalk and cheating costs. I think while on the stack Cards should have the Mana Value that you actually paid, kind of like X spells work.
Red has card draw in Faithless Looting, Bitter Reunion and Brass's Tunnel Grinder. It may not be permanent, but provided most of the red card draw is also used to fill the GY it might not need to be.
On the subject of fruitcake: I have had non-repulsive fruitcake, fruitcake that made my life marginally better, as opposed to worse. However, there are many desserts that I would choose over the best fruitcake every time, and there are fruitcakes that make life worse. So I would say it's not quite a pure trolling thing, but... still not something I really recommend.
As the phyrexians say:
Merry Christmas to all
and all will be one
11:15 Seth, on the horror conjured by the demon house from the hell plane:
"I don't know if Overlord of the Hauntwoods is actually _evil..._ "
Plus, its name kinda implies that it keeps the woods haunted.
Maybe it’s just misunderstood!

Merry Christmas to all. May your games be good
Got hit by a faked box of duskmourn. Getting a refund but still, no Merry Christmas to these scamming bastards.
Hearing the deck description, I think Seth is, fittingly, living in Christmas land.
I think it's actually just a good simic value deck with a silly Christmas land combo in there. Overlords + beans + proft's is just a solid package.
@@alexandercurnell1142 having now seen the deck in action, I agree.
@@alexandercurnell1142 Yeah, it's actually a pretty reasonable set of cards except for Doubling Season and maybe a couple too many Zeganas.
only 23% of the time, LOL
Such a missed opportunity to swap the normal beenie for a Christmas hat

Hey Seth! I appreciate your Xmas gimmick decks each year. Thanks for another year of personality and mtg deck crafting.
Zegana is in standard? Foundations has really made me question what the heck is in standard.
They even downshifted at least one Modern Horizons card to standard. Of course the one I know of was Goblin Oriflamme, which is more of a reference than an actual card. It's so bad I've not seen it played or brewed with at all
MERRY CHRISTMAS SETH!!! Thank you for the year if entertainment
Thank you for having content up on Christmas for us!
Decking the halls and decking yourself in the process
I love this, my favorite goldfish videos.
Merry Christmas!

33:25 i will eat my fathers homemade fruitcake that is made a month or two before Christmas. But he pours a shot of rum onto it each day for a month. 😆
I have a friend who makes fruitcake much the same way, but he feeds it brandy, not rum.
Seth: Nobody likes fruitcake
Tomer: Am I nobody to you?
Good fruit cake is great with tea or coffee. The issue is that it is hard to do right.
But carrot cake is awesome
Is bad fruit cake just an american thing? As an austrian we dont have a ton of it everywhere but i dont think i ever had one that was bad.😅
@@Shimatzu95 store ones that are too dry to enjoy by themselves are the bad thing

Fruitcake is the meatloaf of holiday desserts. It's got a bad rep, but, when made well, is actually quite tasty.
Merry Christmas

Is Zimone not standand legal? The one that gives 2 +1/+1 counters and has UGt: Double the number of counters
Yeah, Zimone, Paradox Sculptor is probably a decent card for the deck
Merry Christmas my fellow magic players
It's crazy to me we live in a standard where a Simic ramp deck wants a t3 ramp spell over a t1 dork. Just never thought we'd get there
Huge missed opportunity to put The Mindskinner in this list so you can deck your enemies with the Silent Hallcreeper
So question: why doubling season over inn keeper's talent?
That is one convoluted game plan
Liver is great when well prepared.
the quintessential Simic deck right here
peak draw and counter greed
Fa la la la la, la la la la
‘Tis the season to pay the one.
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Don we now our Leyline Axes.
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Troll the ancient mono-red gamers.
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Mono-red's card advantage engine is their opening hand...
Proft's Eidetic Memory + Ingenious Prodigy
= Draw Engine
Anyone notice Seth almost accidentally died at 40 mins when he drew all but 2 cards remaining in the deck? lol
Thanks for the analysis! Could you help me with something unrelated: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?
33:25 my aunt used to make it all the time when I came over. I love fruit cake
This is my favorite card
My dad likes fruitcake, and sometimes makes one, but everyone else in my family doesn't eat it, so he has to give a lot of it away
Dear Seb,
Build Fear of Change, Birthing Ritual, and Extraction Specialist for Against the Odds. You won’t be disappointed.
i feel like even if it doesn't trigger up the beanstalk inkeeper's talent is still probably a better card for this deck
Two Silent Hallcreeper can copy each other for more fun
Silent Hall creeper is so good.
A much simpler and cheaper version of this is just blighted agent (1U) + Ethereal Armor (W) + Enchanted Evening (3 U/W U/W)
And at this rate, we're going to find out that they were all in Foundations all along.
Match 1, game 2 - An example of a mulligan that returns 6 of the 7 same cards, which in my experience, happens far too often.
My grandmother used to eat fruit cake every year...always trying to get the rest of us to try it. Well...when she passed away, in honor of her, we tried it. It's terrible lol
Nothing is better than bluey! Just ask my kids 😅
Loved the deck, but the joke flew over my head. Maybe because I’m not a a native english speaker?
Merry Christmas Seth!
There’s WALMART fruit cake, and then there is real fruit cake (pannetone). One of those breaks your jaw and the other is really good.

Decking yourself, then put it on the Hall(creeper)
The expend mechanic has to do with how much you spend in a turn
Needs llanowar elf
wonder how hard it was for him to not include a 1 of for doppelgang
Regarding Up the Beanstalk and cheating costs.
I think while on the stack Cards should have the Mana Value that you actually paid, kind of like X spells work.
god I love simic
X spells are still 5MV+ on the stack
Will the kids be eating this Christmas?
Match 3 game 1 you missed out on i think 6 damage. Open land drop plus either eidetic memory or beanstalk. Not that you needed it 😂
24 enchantments is a lot for a non-enchantment deck
Good news everyone: its xmas
Where's the Dopplegang?
Creeper! Awww man
There's good fruitcake and there's bad fruitcake, very hit or miss
Seth, quit it with the greedy keeps!!! Love your content though. I will probably build this deck.
Deck the hallcreeper, b-b-b-b-b-b-b-bolt
Is there a high pitched whine in the background for anybody else or is that just me?
Yes
I absolutely love fruit cake.
Nobody I know eats fruit cake. Nobody.
Nice deck with some interesting triggers I might try. Just find it soooo hard watching Seth when he continues to move cards around, so distracting
Red has card draw in Faithless Looting, Bitter Reunion and Brass's Tunnel Grinder. It may not be permanent, but provided most of the red card draw is also used to fill the GY it might not need to be.
Idk who is playing Faithless Looting in standard, but whoever it is I hope they start using some legal cards before they get DQ’ed from an event
Why include the Gwenna if you never cast it?
They lockdown you draw a bunch of cards. Combo.

Hallcreeper is just busted
the cactus guy that can double all counters would make this so much easier

making colored mana is difficult because you kept a shit hand.
