Good gracious, this deck is ridiculous. The fact it has so many ways to cast Glimpse and can do it multiple times a turns makes me wonder how competitive it can really be.
This is why I keep watching. This sort of deck keeps me happy. I’ve been watching this channel for years, and the decks Seth comes up with just keep making me excited about what he’s going to do next.
Hallowed Moonlight, Lavinia, Weathered Runestone and Containment Priest (and maybe some others) help against this anti-Magic type of deck. I hope the cascade decks gets nerfed somehow. It's too easy to do which is a double-edged blade
22:24 if I remember the rules correctly... your opponent had two mana avaliable with urza's saga and the drum. They could have gone to their mainphase, tapped urza's saga for mana with its third lore trigger on the stack, animate inkmoth, search for hammer, equip hammer to inkmoth, then use the drum to reactivate inkmoth to give it flying again. I believe this works?
so I have played this deck twice now, one time, eldrazi tron with 0 on chalice, wrecked me, also they had grafdigger's cage. Next match teferi time raveler completely shut down the cascade rough matchups both
This got me thinking if an RNGesus tourney would be fun. Glimpse of Tomorrow, Burning Inquiry, Tibalt's Trickery, Aetherworks Marvel, Confusion in the Ranks, Possibility Storm, Chance Encounter... and a Counterbalance deck to spoil all the red fun.
at 34:15 you can cast foundation breaker to destroy shadow spear and then chump with foundation breaker to survive another turn and get another archon trigger. edit: no you can't, they can suit up inkmoth nexus to win
Actually no it doesn't, because he would still be dead on board to the dorks. Opponent could fire up inkmoth and move the hammer onto it, forcing the chump there and letting normal damage kill.
@@MTGGoldfish Is this art imitating life? Is this MTG confirming that immortality sucks because dementia is an inevitable guarantee given the space constraint of the mind?
Worth noting though that you would still win even if your opponent were on the discard-some-shuffle-in-card-to-stay-alive plan. It's not meta right now, but I could imagine an infinite life combo deck siding a card like this in if necessary.
It will never be tier 1. Way too much variance, and way too many ways to hate. It folds to chalice, prelate, T3feri, void mirror, Drannith magistrate, and almost any counter spell, including the newly printed counterspell. It’s a really funny deck when it works, but it will never be consistent enough to be competitive
I have played chancellor of the forge in warp world deck, and I think it would work here too. Getting the free token at the beginning would help with the spins, and it is a nice hit from the warp too making several haste tokens in addition of the big body of the chancellor itself. You could cut some legendary creatures for it, or maybe some kind of split like 2x Iona, 2x omnisience?
@@stevefink2824 it would mainly serve as protection. The "free" draw seven would help him rebuild to try again if he didn't like what he got, and a flying 7/7 lifelink is still plenty to shut down most games.
The match vs the Heliod combo deck, I feel like the opponent would deck themselves first before Emrakul would swing for lethal. Same outcome, I just found it funny.
I know it would make the mana a bit worse, but have you considered adding timely reinforcements to the deck? It makes you play a turn later but you almost certainly survive an extra turn after casting it and the 3 extra tokens really up the hit chances on your glimpses.
You should build a Commander Clash version. The card is also hilarious with Thieves' Auction because you can just take only your opponents' permanents except for enablers like as foretold and then shuffle your cards back into the deck :D.
A wizard walks up to you and says "Did you know that in twenty years, I'll be an expert in summoning eldritch horrors and temporal displacement into the past?"
Blazing Archon in the sideboard? "Creatures can't attack you" just wins against some of the matchups that give us trouble, and is harder to remove than something like Platinum Angel/Empyrion.
It's not nearly as consistent, and I'm sure it's a blast to play, but I admit that, as a lifelong Control/Tempo player, this kinda deck being around scares me. Also, #unbansplintertwin already. This is so much more broken, and it's probably just flavor-of-the-month!
As a tempo control player, you can just counter the glimpse and you win, right? That combined with the fizzle rate and this deck is FAR from broken. It sometimes does broken things, but is way too inconsistent and folds to hate.
I think this deck could benefit from playing a split between all of the Eldrazi Titans and Iona to be more efficient with the legend rule. It also makes mill a complete non-threat since a lot of mill lists are getting extremely greedy with their extraction count. Archon of cruelty really shows the power of having more valid hits, especially in a food filled format where sometimes Emrakul either doesn’t get there or is outright just killed. I really think that this list and Jim Davis’s list have very different problems that would be fixed by finding an efficient middle ground between the two where you have a wide range of big legendary threats as well as some of the very powerful non-legendary threats. This deck has no “they came as three” moments, but is overall more efficient. Tl; dr ~ the deck’s engine is great, but the overstuffing of individual legendary creatures hurts the high-roll potential more than having a slightly less individually powerful but more diverse set of of legendary targets would hurt the consistency on bad rolls.
Regarding the Emrakul vs Heliod matchup, I think it would've been that the opponent will eventually mill themselves to death instead of the emrakul deals infinite damage scenario.
You know, I think it’s entirely possible to build Glimpse as a transformational sideboard with Living End. You already want free spell synergies (Shardless, Outburst, and As Foretold) and a handful of cheap ways to generate permanents while putting creatures in the yard (Wavesifter is already here, but then you’ve got cards like Merchant of the Vale or Hollow One you can add). If the deck needs more punch at the top-end, you play finishers like from this list (Iona, Emrakul, Archon...). If the deck needs to more consistently move cardboard, you play stuff like the usual Living End Finishers (Waker of Waves, Riverwinder, Windcaller...)
What strategies does the transformational sideboard help defeat? Currently this deck loses to decks going under it or a well-timed counterspell. A Living End transformation doesn't help with either of those (and is probably slower). I guess it beats if the opponent sides in removal to lower our permanent count? I'm not sure sub-optimal Living End is better than just making land drops to up the permanent count.
@@ImJustHereToWatch14 Yeah. I think it’s POSSIBLE to build, but I don’t see a particularly big upside. You can dodge some hate cards by swapping plans (Glimpse dodges grave hate for Living End, and Living End makes removal worse), but there’s still a lot of sideboard cards that still hit both plans (Chalice on 0, Void Mirror, Grafdigger’s Cage...). If anything, it’s a cute twist for one FNM
At first I thought this was going to be a horrible deck, but holy cannoli that first game shut me up! I wasn't seeing the multiple-Glimpse-per-turn potential
Would an oops, all spells variant of the deck be viable? There are enough non-permanent mdfcs that you could make an entire RGB mana base, and then you could swap out shardless agent for bitumous blast. That would guarantee you find nothing but bombs with your glimpse of tomorrow, but would come at the cost of slowing the deck down by a turn sometimes
Feel like As Foretold is pretty bad in this deck considering there's only one thing you want to cast with it. You might want to cut it for something that makes the deck more consistent.
Living End has the excellent backup plan of casting creatures and turning them sideways. Something that is often really good if your opponent over sideboards into hate pieces. This has no backup plan. I can't see this being better than living end on average in a known meta.
@@JT-91 I was responding to something he said in the wrapup at the end of the video, where he said that this deck might be better than Living End in modern because it's more consistant/powerful and dies to the same hate.
Am I missing something at 22:20? Couldn't your opponent activate inkmoth, swing, and when you declare no blockers, flash in hammer and equip it? At that point, it wouldn't matter if it loses flying right?
Yeah, I think the problem for the opponent is that Urza's Saga tutors the Hammer to the battlefield rather than to their hand. If they had a Hammer that would be the perfect line to win the game that turn.
@@MTGGoldfish You can activate inkmoth a second time which grants it flying again "If the equipped creature gains flying after Colossus Hammer became attached to it, it will keep flying." You just need an extra mana which was available in this instance.
completely forgot that it goes to the battlefield and not the hand, oops. Either way they had it because they can just reactivate inkmoth to get flying again.
Against infinite life you don't even need to kill them with infinite damage, you just let them mill out first Regardless, this deck seems actually pretty competitive, though chalice on 0 is pretty good against it
I feel like you should have played White instead of Red, that way you could play Ardent Plea instead of Violent Outburst, which gives you an extra permanent for you second Glimpse of Tomorrow. I think the odds of actually suspending Glimpse are so low it’s not worth it.
The cascade resolves before the permanent is in play, so plea would only be good on the second spin or later. Cutting red also means you can't suspend Glimpse, even though that's not ideal I think that's worth keeping.
@@MomirsLabTech I addressed both those points in my comment, I just think that it’s extremely unlikely you’ll suspend and in the case that you do you’re already pretty likely to lose.
that makes it worse because it wiffs and puts nothing on the battlefield. glimpse says “reveal that many cards and put all permanents on the battlefield”
This definitely seems like a Trickery deck. Fun to see win, bad to see play against you, absolutely horrible to see as a majority of the meta percentage. Also jank
This is the most fun deck I've ever seen wtf
It does some pretty crazy things!
@@MTGGoldfish could Valki and Tibalt work with a Glimpse of tomorrow deck?
I watched this video for 10 minutes. This deck is so stupid and I love it.
It's pretty hilarious :)
Glimpses into Emrakul, 3 Iona, and 2 Omniscience - "Well, I guess that's fine." Bit of an understatement there.
Good gracious, this deck is ridiculous. The fact it has so many ways to cast Glimpse and can do it multiple times a turns makes me wonder how competitive it can really be.
I'd honestly be surprised if this didn't become at least a fringe strategy
Seth: *hits Archon, Emrakul, and Leyline of Sanctity vs burn* "That should be good enough."

I appreciate that you're able to play these games and I'm able to enjoy the gameplay without dropping $1000 to try it for a week at my FNM.
MTGO has pretty solid card rental services.
After seeing the short before, I’m bracing myself
Same! Snap clicked on the video when it clicked.
I will say that your acceptance at match 4 is nice because a top tier spin-to-win list seems absolutely awful to play against
"Otherwise we're chumping with Emrakrul"
Out of everything said this crazy video, that was the strangest.
People on twitch upset about gambling streams meanwhile Seth over here playing slots on mtgo
The fact that Void Mirror exists seems like the saving grace from something uninteractable like this taking over magic
you can also just counter the glimpse
Everyone is forgetting about Chalice of the Void.
@@SomeFreakingCactus not just that but Lavinia also exists.

- Said nobody except Seth, I guess 😂

I never thought I'd hear a phrase "chump with Emrakul"... Thanks, Seth!
at 34:15 you can cast foundation breaker to destroy shadow spear and then chump with foundation breaker to survive another turn and get another archon trigger.
edit: no you can't, they can suit up inkmoth nexus to win
Or even destroy the construct and chump from there?
i was thinking crack a clue to try and draw into a cascade spell
I came here looking for this. With every spin giving you a chance to win, removing the spear to remove trample seems like the way to go there.
@@AceGrooves88 That doesn't work because his things have equip 0 thanks to puresteel paladin, but hitting spear to stop trample definitely does.
Actually no it doesn't, because he would still be dead on board to the dorks. Opponent could fire up inkmoth and move the hammer onto it, forcing the chump there and letting normal damage kill.
I remember in the stream when you glimpsed and found exclusively lands and Leylines
This made me chuckle like a madman.
*Thanks* *For* *The* *Content* !
That was fun. I have a Warp World commander deck that I've enjoyed playing recently and so it's interesting seeing this in another format.
Seth seems to be having a really good time with this one
It's super fun!
holy moly this deck is hilarious and amazing! well done
In match 3 when the opponent gained "infinite" life, they would have decked out of cards long before you had to do infinite damage anyway
Yeah, you just deck them with emrakul. It's a matter of 20ish turns, not the million turns to kill them with damage 😂
Yea, because we have Emrakul we can pretty easily beat infinite life.
@@MTGGoldfish Is this art imitating life? Is this MTG confirming that immortality sucks because dementia is an inevitable guarantee given the space constraint of the mind?

I've been waiting for this deck video since the card was spoiled!!
I have played chancellor of the forge in warp world deck, and I think it would work here too. Getting the free token at the beginning would help with the spins, and it is a nice hit from the warp too making several haste tokens in addition of the big body of the chancellor itself. You could cut some legendary creatures for it, or maybe some kind of split like 2x Iona, 2x omnisience?
I love this deck, I don't think there's much you could change to make it better
This was super fun to watch
This looks like the most fun deck ever.
If i played that deck i would get 5/5 times control with all the counters in the world
Reminds me of the randomness of Hollow One before the Faithless ban. I opened an old border Glimpse in my bundle too.
would 2 Griselbrand in place of one each of your other legends not help with your spin-hits?
I feel like Griselbrand isn't as much of an instant win as the other legends he selected
@@stevefink2824 it would mainly serve as protection. The "free" draw seven would help him rebuild to try again if he didn't like what he got, and a flying 7/7 lifelink is still plenty to shut down most games.

This is sweet. Congrats on the 4-1
I personally may focus on a version that has less legends (more permanents) and having a budget, but this deck makes me wanna play modern.
