Mhoroi, Budget Magic lovers, it's that time once again! Next week, we'll start exploring sweet new Dominaria cards, which will probably mean several Standard decks in a row, but for this week, we are heading back to Modern for a deck that's looking to grind out a ton of value by looping enters-the-battlefield creatures multiple times each turn cycle with Eerie Interlude and Eternal Witness: it's GW Interlude time! The basic idea of the deck is simple: we're overloaded with value-centric creatures with enters-the-battlefield triggers that draw us cards, search for lands, or make our opponent miserable; we stay alive by blocking with our endless creatures; and then we eventually start exiling and returning to the battlefield all of our creatures once or twice each turn, which creates an overwhelming amount of value. In the end we win by draining away our opponent's life total or simply by blowing up all of their lands so they can't play Magic. Can the plan work in Modern? Let's get to the video and find out; then, we'll talk more about the deck!

Seth you forgot to put in one Panharmonicon.
Needs Torpor Orb.
I thought the same thing about panharmonicon.
Walloficecream how about a torpor orb/evoke deck. Could it work?
I mean... That is basically what this deck is doing, right? Maybe taking a turn off to cast it on four is too clunky/expensive for the speed of the format? Plus witness loops the 'ludes thus looping lock pieces.
Stephen Lofton You're right, it doesn't really need Pan... BUT! This is Seth we are talking about, it NEEDS panharmonicon
"I can't lose to humans unless they play these exact 4 cards in a row"
*human player laughs*
"It's sorta like panharmonicon"
Oh Seth. Everything is Panharmonicon with you
I think we should have 1 panharmonicon in the 75 seth! What are you doing?
I miss my Ghostway decks, back when damage was on the stack. Let damage stay on the stack, cast Ghostway in response and kill all of my opponents creatures then get all the ETB effects from the creatures again.
Those were fun times.
AeoniX can you not just cast ghostway then wrath?
Gamer101Reborn Yes but that needs an additional card, the wrath (and it can still be done)
I love seeing decks like this when you post them. Strong, cheap, effective decks. When you posted the UR Prowess deck i built that, and I just ordered the cards to build this.
*hears sound of key cards in the deck inflating in price in response*
*laughs in european*
MaruderSlayer *laughs in torpor evoke*
Laughs in crippling depression...
Singularity *laughs in $15 modern 5-0* (I actually did this at my lgs)
Louise Drake I don't know how that helps my depression but congratulations!!
add black for siege rhino
I love Todd Stevens Value Town decks, but i don't have the crazy budget or the deckbuilding skills to build something like that on a budget. I think i finally found the one, i'm 100% building this!
Thanks Seth!
Sweet. Have fun!
Hey Seth. It'd be cool if you talked over the evolution from budget to non-budget in the wrap-up. What cards do we get, what are the benefits, is it best to get into Black and bring in Siege Rhino? Addressing those types of topics would be real helpful.
In general, it'd just be a cool paragraph to hear you discuss growth options after the dust settles. Most of the stuff is answered in the article, but it was just a thought I wanted to mention.
Just watched this and it is a budget version of my favorite casual deck I have been using for years. Since for casual it's legacy ish, I also run parallax wave. There is also the persist angel to get back anything that hits the graveyard that turn which works well with the wave. I also use some oldies but goodies in Blastoderm and Calciderm as the Ghostway and Interlude Reset them and 5/5 shroud for 4 can be very strong.
Just an idea, maybe the last game or two with budget decks should show it fully levelled up.
I know it strictly would not be budget, but it would show players how the deck functions at both ends of the spectrum.
Good deck though. Looks like a blast to play.
"this is fun" -- what you never want to hear SBKASO say in a game you're in
Alan Feng *SPBKASO
Why are you not bringing in Obstinate Baloth against Burning Inquiry?
Ive thoroughly enjoy your vids, as well as the explinations and follow up game play! this is what's alluring me into magic, im new to the scene and it's awesome! thanks!
eerie interlude is so sweet!, i wanna brew myself a casual deck now. i don't usually play white, but i can get why it can be cool. just thinking of the color makes me bored.
Seth your first game... so many punts
Not attacking with fliers when you could
Not keeping your value cards in games 2 and 3 when you had eerie interlude.... Much better to BLOCK then eerie...
Game three too.
Really just not swinging with resto tbh
This is a pretty cool deck, and it works kinda like pauper tron, for the looping part, except for G/W creatures which are really cool.
I'm thinking about returning to play Magic with a deck like this. Maybe, the day will come.
Deck looks great. I love ETB effects. Seth, for a future Much Abrew please play a joint Panharmonicon and Interlude deck! Think of the value and the card draw!!
at about 43:30 you could have cast the eerie interlude to fizzle the crasher trigger, block two things and survived another turn
This is the coolest deck I've seen in a long time. Great work!
Nice deck! You could attack with Restoration Angel every turn you play the Stonehorn
This is a thing of beauty.
I would love to see you play some of the more successful budget decks with a non-budget mana base.
I feel like this deck could have easily gone 4-1 or even 5-0 with an actual mana base. Not even considering the Noble Hierarchs and Leylines of Sanctity in your non budget version, just the regular mana base would be nice to see.
Seth, would really love it if you also made some "Non-budget" upgrade lists. Deck seems super sweet, but what would you have added if budget weren't a consideration? I imagine the SB would see some love, but what else?
7:55 that looks like a nice standard deck
Deck looks sweet once it gets going.
The BW Walker opponent missed forcing a shuffle with field of ruin to get rid of the witness on top though.
If you wanna keep the budget lands try tossing in more green mana sources and replacing the llanowar elves with avacyn's pilgrims
I'd suggest putting in the emerge eldrazi pig. Seems like this be a great deck for it.
I got to optimize the mana base of this budget version of this to see how it goes. This can be insane.
+3 fortified village
-1 Sunpetal Grove
-2 canopy vista
Would help smooth out the mana base? Fortified village at least has a better chance of coming in untapped than canopy vista during the early game.
(1) Last game, I expected Trostani to be the last Exarch tutor target, as you had Beast tokens to Populate. But, well, win with fliers is usually the best call...
(2) I guess this deck really likes to mull to 5.
At least I mulliganed!
seths decks got me in to modern in the paper world
So many times you could attack with fliers before blinking, or block and then blink. So many punts
fiend hunter would be interesting in here. if you ever have 2 eerie's then you can perma remove creatures :)
I see a lot of the same useful cards over and over in these budget decks. For example this one has Acidic Slime and Eternal Witness. It'd be nice to have a list of budget mainstays...
----
All those mass blink spells would be handy if you were playing a lot exert creatures.
----
Combo decks usually have trouble against discard (Inquisition in one match, freebooters against Humans)
Can we see that WB planeswalkers deck? Looked sweet!
I played against a version of this that looped silence every turn, that was great
You really should be playing Avacyn's Pilgrim instead of Llanowar Elves, going forest -> pilgrim on turn 1 gives you access to both elvish visionary and wall of omens on turn two, even if you can't find a white source.
I'm missing something about the end of game 2 in match 1. He conceded when key cards in his had were discarded.... but there was still a pending "fog" for the opponent's next turn so he had chance to rebuild with a good topdeck. Right?
This deck plays surprisingly similar to UW Emeria, but with dignitaries instead of vomiting sweepers. I like it
"We get to draw five cards! I can't believe our opponent is going to let us draw four cards; it's gonna be so sweet when we draw three cards"
Seth, how did you manage to put neither Sèance nor Panharmonicon in this deck?
I think Eerie Interlude/Ghostway are our Panharmonicon/Seance. I think there a risk of playing too many support cards and not enough creatures, and then things get clunky.
Dude, this deck looks awesome
The Baloth and the Trostani felt out of place in the maindeck (I understand this may be fore budget reasons). Maybe replace them with interaction?
having a soul sister or two in the deck helps with the aggro plans. or you know, a lone missionary kinda creature.
I had hoped that I will see Infect and/or Affinity match up.
Maybe you wanted Avacyn’s Pilgrim in this deck over Llanowar Elves? If you can cast Llanowar Elves, you’ve already got green mana. Or is Pilgrim more expensive or something?
The deck tech included crypts in the sideboard for graveyard hate, but then it wasn't there for your game?
The Brutalizer Exarch combo is essentially a more friendly version of land destruction
In some situations, it's even more vicious.
@17:58 premature scoop? You can still play the land + the 6 drop to get e-wit (and if you want, the llanowar elf with the mana from the other one. Then you have 3 guys to chump + the block of stonehorn on endless one to go to1. I admit, being at one is not ideal, but you have got the lock assembled and if you draw lifegain two turns before he draws the bolt, you're golden. Am I missing something here?
Came here to say the exact same thing. He dies to bolt, ballista on one, a haste creature, and can still get burning inquiried out, but it's an out you can win from.
Sevifor Yes and the last two have to happen the exact next turn or they are useless
Hey Seth when the proper time comes try my newly submitted deck idea called Lich's Journal for modern where you combine the effects of Lich's Mastery and Venser's Journal with the finisher of Psychosis Crawler, I think that you will find it to be a really spicy build option on your site.
so this is essentially my seance deck, because seance also loves etb creatures, but i also have blue for mulldrifter, coiling oracle and reflector mage.
Ohh, Bant sounds sweet.
I think your opponent in match 2 thought that he couldn't loose the game due to the gideon emblem. That's why he didn't scoop
7:54... Didn't realize that this was Standard legal. :P
This deck looks super weak to Torpor Orb. Granted, to my knowledge, there's exactly one deck in Modern that plays Torpor Orb a nonzero amount of the time (Lantern Control, and it's not even super popular there), but still.
Shouldn't the declaration in stone be exiled because it targeted the dryad militant because it should exile when it goes to the grave
I'm surprised there's no renegade rallier
It doesn't really have many targets. Most of the good cards are 3+ cost
40:20 sounds like what I'm playing all the time 🤣
26:16 'dec in slime' XD
Seth you left so MUCH damage against the hastebraid deck. If you were going to mainface interlude, then attack with the resto first!
I'm very surprised to not see a Felidar Guardian.
43:03 that Eerie Interlude was loose. You could have just left resto up, which gives you:
- Another blocker
- Allows your current blockers to dodge removal (or Ahn-Crop Crasher exertions)
- Basically get the same effect as eerie interlude by blink chaining, if needed
Such a punt, geez
Has to blink a non Angel creature.
But srill would have been the right way.
Oh true, but yeah, eerie interlude was so greedy there, and so close to stabilising too
Also, the first resto should have just been Trostani, it was a fine window because with 5 on the ass he's a great blocker, them you interlude the next turn and can't lose
There were a couple of times you cast Eerie Interlude before combat.
It might've been better to attack first and then cast it afterward.
True. Good call.
I'd argue that the Llanowar Elves should be Avacyn's Pilgrims.
This could be true. Most of our double mana costs are green, but I think we have more white mana costs.
It's like a Brago EDH deck.
"This is GW Interlude for standard." I wish these cards were standard legal Seth
why no wall of roots you can blink it to rest its mana and use it to burst mana before you blink
This sounds a lot like the old Astral Slide deck, except only on your creatures.
Torpor Orb makes this deck cry. Also, there's a Trostani. I don't care how horribly this deck runs, it's amazing
GreenSkyDragon torpor orb makes my deck amazing
Yeah, we'd rather avoid Torpor Orb.
MTGGoldfish have you considered torpor orb+evoke? With it you get undercosted creatures, without it you get good effects
Nobody runs Torpor Orb anymore since Twin ban.
Paul M I maindeck 12
Any thoughts towards including a couple eldrazi displacers somewhere in the list? You can lock your opponents out with stonehorn dignitary
Displacer could be really good in the deck, but would have to play a more expensive manabase to have colorless mana to activate.
I think it took all of Seth's strength to not include the win-more panharmicon.
Seth do you think Eldritch Evolution and a 1-of Sun Titan would slot well into this deck? With so many 1-of's evolution seems like a good toolbox card and a good card to help set up the combo.
I like Sun Titan as a top end threat, not sure about Eldritch Evolution. Probably worth testing at least.
Mangara of Corandor wants you to know that he loves your deck.
Mangara could be a sweet addition.
I can't tell whether the boat of Walls plus Visionary is too much or whether Seth's card draw addiction makes him play them too much.
Probably a little of both.
7:55 “And that is GW Interlude for Standard -kappa-
Maybe some Settle the Wreckage in the SB since youre already playing white at Instant speed with Interlude as well as Resto?
Settle is pretty good in Modern at the moment, a little expensive for the budget though.
Thanks :)
Looks like a fun deck but seems like it would lose everytime to control and aggressive decks.
You forget to attack with Resto Angel SO MANY TIMES before you blink...
It's not about killing the opponent, it's about drawing cards ;)
So, tell me, Seth 'SaffronOlive', why didn't you call the deck 'Interloop'?
Would a UW build of this deck be any good? Or are you just better off playing Emeria at that point?
It would be pretty similar to Emeria. I could imagine a hybrid, since Emeria only takes up land slots.
It feels a lot like E-Wit is the best card in the deck though.
Needs to splash black for Rhino. Lol
Other than the land base, anyone have any suggestions for non budget upgrades?
Hey Seth, love the deck! I was wondering if you thought about going Bant for the non-budget version, to include Venser? He seems like he could be good in the deck
Been trying to make a version of that for my friend, I hope he does something like it :D
I think Bant, Abzan and Naya all have potential.
You forgot to drop your Grove (drawn from wall bounce) in game 3 against HasteBraid. Tsk tsk tsk.
I don't understand where's the panharmonicon
You know temur sabertooth could have been a back up plan.
Actually, does this deck want Aether Vials and Flickerwisps in a non-budget version?
Not sure on Vial, Flickerwisp can be good though.
In a bant, non-budget shell, Flickerwisps, Mulldrifters and aether vials could be a thing, along BoP/Hierarch. Coiling Oracle instead of wood elves, too.
What about Authority of the Consuls for SB?
This looks like a blast
Troy Laureyns it is
Two Exarchs, you have drunk deeply of the oil, good.
A blink deck without Panharmonicon??? Who made this video?
’’Bogart Ram-Gang’’
Panharmonicon isn't legendary.Unlike Paradox Engine,you can run 4 without any problem.They cost only 0.3 Tix/3.5 bucks each.
This deck seems like it would line up pretty well into an emeria shell with some slight modifications. any thoughts?
Nonbudget version would include that plus Thragtusk and Kitchen Finks.
I think that you can combine it with Emeria, but it's hard to do on a budget since you really need shocklands and probably fetchlands too.
On an on is just another blink in the wall...
Can we please, please, please see a NON-budget version of this???
Why not add rallier + Saffie combo?
I only really like Rallier in fetchland decks, and on a budget it's hard to fit in fetchlands (impossible really).
43:05
Every single one of these videos has one WAAAAY too premature of a concede
only oblivion ring would work as disruption
Seth, every time you create a deck that has a sweet engine I enter a behavioral loop: I check card prices, I check my bank account, I check card prices, I check my bank account. ha ha ha If only eternal witness could return my wallet from the graveyard.
