Regarding the opponent only chipping in at the Eternal Wanderer: Due to its static ability, only one creature can attack it. They were hitting it as hard as they could.
In the game against Crokeyz, Saffron waits literally 12 turns too late to play the portal, at which point it's not even good anymore. It was kinda interesting to watch him start playing commander and sandbagging everything to do fun stuff instead of just winning. And he keeps saying "what a grind!' even though he could have won instantly like 10 turns earlier but that would have been less fun.
I started fast forwarding that game after reading your comment. Holy crap it was killing me to watch it just sit in his had as he drew over and over again just to discard to hand limit. Like I get that it feels great to draw cards but sometimes you need to just play the 9 mana bomb!
This has to be such a wildly uncomfortable mirror match. "I'll remove your Elesh norn with my leyline binding - wait, that was a misplay." "I'll attack with my elesh norn." "I block your elesh norn with my elesh norn, I guess?" "Okay, okay, Atraxa... I don't draw, but it can close out the game." "I actually just also drew mine.... so they both die, we both gain 7." "Can we just both concede and get this over with?" "No, because that's technically an ETB in this matchup so nothing happens."
surprised seth didn't use the touch the spirit realm to flicker portal to phyrexia in that last game - making them sac 6 more would probably be pretty good lol
Been subbed forever and always love the content. Thanks for keeping magic alive for me and a lot of other people. I started playing 8 years ago and ive been a viewer for about as long and I cant tell you how many decks ive built from this channel, mostly the janky ones. Anyway, thank you for all the memories and good times and happiness you've brought me and others, much love MTGGoldfish team!
That Crokeyz game was RIDICULOUS!!! So much fun to watch! People are seriously sleeping on Atraxa. People have been SO down on her because she isn’t her previous version. But she is absolutely the full package!
In constructed, I'm loving poison. I have a lot of decks that survive, stabilize and then start to take over. I'm finding that I can sprinkle toxic in, and sneak wins on that side. I fight so many life gain decks and picking up a win while they have their big angels out and 30+ life is great.
Don't know if this had made a difrense but at (29:23) you could have used the the eternal wanderer to exile the ichormoon gauntlet. It would have come back during the opponents endphase so jace coudn't polifirate.
I have a pretty fun against the odds style best of 3 deck I have been using to climb the ladder from gold 4 to plat 3. Going on 2. MonoMountain Rakdos. It has pretty good tech against all three of the toxic decks on the ladder, was about to beat out the phyrexian obliterater fight deck twice including going down to no lands. And an amazing time against esper control and superfriends. Monoblack has been the hardest match up, but I've got a pretty positive win rate so far. It plays aggro but can swap to late game control. Not sure how to submit it to you guys. Edit: Plat 1 now
a fun deck i have been experimenting with is blue green titan of industry with that bounce spell that ends the turn , deck is crazy fun you should brew up a list
29:30 Isn't warden the best option? Chance to draw Leyline Binding seems like your best out here with Mom in play. Also, we need Norns altered to Mom from Futurama.
Hey Seth I have a pretty sweet GW tokens build (mostly white, just splashing G for a couple key support cards that allow a power boost). And I must say, Mondrak is legit the real deal especially with Rabble Rousing
Elesh Norn is obviously amazing, but a huge takeaway from this video is The Eternal Wanderer is insane. I think she’s even better than we saw here, because it’s so tempting to go for blink value sometimes it might get lost that the best thing to do is often to get a 2/2 double striker
It's really hard to stream and play, people have noted that in person seth is an extremely good player. Streaming causes you to have to split your thoughts and makes you make mistakes.
Topiary Stomper - "It's been 303 days since I was first spoiled for New Capenna, and Seth still can't pronounce Topiary. It's almost as if he has never heard of a bush/tree being trimmed to appear as something else, like a sphere, a box, or an animal- or a big giant dinosaur. Sometimes I am worried that he believes most words he doesn't recognize are just words WotC made up- like Phyrexian- yet he pronounces that just fine..."
Hey Seth I just put together an esper superfriends deck for standard using ichormoon gauntlet to get multiple extra turns. It's absurd even when I don't have all the wildcards I want
The new contagious vorrac might be better than stomper for this deck. While it only gets you the land in hand it can get nonbadics and unlike stomper it can be used to block/attack imideately.
Reaction to 30:05 : I wonder if that fact might *finally* push a poison change to commander. When poison isn't just "pump your infect creature to oneshot someone" and becomes "give everyone a poison counter and relaxedly proliferate them out of the game".
Considering the body, effect on all permanent ETBs and how much more common artifact and permanent removal became over the years I venture to say MOM is better than the original.
It actually doesn't work that way, unfortunately. The way the lands are worded, you only go fetch if you sacrifice the land. Elesh Norn will trigger the etb twice, but because you can't sacrifice the land when the second trigger resolves (because you sacrificed it when the first trigger resolves), you won't be able to get a second fetch.
There's a really weird tension with those lands though, in order to make the double trigger work, and to reliably have basics to fetch out, you have to play way more basics - which means you have to play way less dual lands, which makes your 5C mana base extremely awkward. In a 3C version I think it would be way more feasible to make the mana work with the sac lands.
what were you waiting for in that game against the monowhite norn deck? You had portal to phyrexia ready for so long when it would have been absolutely devastating and they had no norn in play. "it's still anyone's game" NO IT WASN'T!
Regarding the opponent only chipping in at the Eternal Wanderer: Due to its static ability, only one creature can attack it. They were hitting it as hard as they could.
busted
Seth was super high on the eternal wanderer for the passive during spoilers then completely forgot about it when he plays it.
Can’t make it up lol
Super high
Incidental punt damage
"Just the big butt of mom coming down was enough"
-Seth (pbkaSO) 2023
-Pixar, probably.
The most cursed part of this video

Seth: We need to close out the game
Also Seth: Holding a way to close out the game for 3 turns.
gotta play around mana tithe
game would have been done so much quicker if seth wasn't addicted to drawing cards
He had the full 6 for 1 and chose to wait until the tokens were spawned
@@jimduggan The best form of card advantage is the cards left in the opponent's hand when you win the game.
truly confusing. why was he acting like this was taking all game?
This has to be such a wildly uncomfortable mirror match.
"I'll remove your Elesh norn with my leyline binding - wait, that was a misplay."
"I'll attack with my elesh norn."
"I block your elesh norn with my elesh norn, I guess?"
"Okay, okay, Atraxa... I don't draw, but it can close out the game."
"I actually just also drew mine.... so they both die, we both gain 7."
"Can we just both concede and get this over with?"
"No, because that's technically an ETB in this matchup so nothing happens."
So they both die? Is it 2005?
I'm too far gone. For some reason I misread "Okay, okay" as "Ara ara"
"Mom's big butt coming to block" is a phrase that will stay with me for a while 🤣
surprised seth didn't use the touch the spirit realm to flicker portal to phyrexia in that last game - making them sac 6 more would probably be pretty good lol
With Mother of Machines and Lay Down Arms, there's almost a new "plow your mom" in standard. Time really is a circle.
Also with Skerelv too, that's the Mite Mom. So two mom's to plow
@@AutkastKain two mums one plow?
I've plowed a few mom's in my day.

Chance couldn't agree more
One thing Krim has over Seth is nicknames. Obviously, Panharmommycon is the way to go.
Elesh-Mom tribal
And throat for the goat
Came here to say this. The fact that he hasn’t called it panharmommycon after all these videos is driving me insane.
Sick cunt name.
Why do your opponents only 'chip away' at the wanderer?
Well, Seth, I wonder why...
Everything is right in the world, Seth has Panharnonicons in standard again and I am glad for this! Thanks for the great content as always!
This deck is so wonderfully indulgent and probably my favorite thing I've seen out of early access
“Mom beats the dog” made me laugh much harder than I should have. Thanks Seth.
"Our mom died" not something I thought I'd hear in a magic video
.... never played Mother of Runes back in the day?
@@Zomburai45 I didn't. I guess I meant in an arena video
Panhar-dommy-mommy
The most 2023 comment I’ve seen yet
"uhhh mom" at 6:21 is now my new favourite sound
Its always fun to see a Momamomimom deck
Your OG panharmonicon deck is what made me start watching you. So this is neat.
That Crokeyz game was RIDICULOUS!!! So much fun to watch! People are seriously sleeping on Atraxa. People have been SO down on her because she isn’t her previous version. But she is absolutely the full package!
As someone who loved the original 5c panharmonicon deck, this is pure joy for me
Love the "No half measures" BB reference right before talking about callbacks. That show rules.
I am still amazed there is NO way to deal with poison counters.
It's going to be on a ton of decks, and probably some tournament decks as well.
Gonna need some kind of compilation of all the times/ways Seth combines the words Panharmonicon & Mom.
Wow! great Video as always!
Been waiting for this video since ONE was released
Wow, this video was....just wonderful!! Thank you so much!!!!
Please make a decklist with Elesh Norn in PIONEER, please!!
Exciting, thanks for the video!

Super sweet as always Seth.
See, Seth! We told you that we'd watch another Elesh Norn vid! 😁😁😁

It’s a crime this deck isn’t called PanharMOMicon

I think eternal wanderer is still better. But we should have attacked Jace, then played it and plus oned the ichormoon gauntlet
Solution to the pronounciation of elesh norn’s nickname: mommymommymom
I'm a simple man - I see "nomicon" and Seth together and I smash the like button
"The Eternal Wanderer is absurd with Elesh Norn" just feels weird. LIke pairing Bog Glider with Defiant Falcon.
Hey Seth I have a pretty sweet GW tokens build (mostly white, just splashing G for a couple key support cards that allow a power boost). And I must say, Mondrak is legit the real deal especially with Rabble Rousing
Can’t wait for the weekly versions of this archetype for the next 2 years
Don't tempt me
31:52 had me laughing way too much
I scrolled down to make sure that I had the timestamp correct. And then I heard it. 😂💀👻
Elesh Norn is obviously amazing, but a huge takeaway from this video is The Eternal Wanderer is insane. I think she’s even better than we saw here, because it’s so tempting to go for blink value sometimes it might get lost that the best thing to do is often to get a 2/2 double striker
"Why is Doom Music playing?" XD I love it
Cue Lisa yelling "MOMMMM!!"
"Mom beats the dog"
😯
It's really hard to stream and play, people have noted that in person seth is an extremely good player. Streaming causes you to have to split your thoughts and makes you make mistakes.
Seth, probably better known as "It's Panharmonicon. IT'S PANHARMONICON!!"
Topiary Stomper - "It's been 303 days since I was first spoiled for New Capenna, and Seth still can't pronounce Topiary.

at 41:52 why not play Ertai to kill Anex to blink the token?
and why not blink it even before and discard a card which we have drawn?
Hey Seth I just put together an esper superfriends deck for standard using ichormoon gauntlet to get multiple extra turns. It's absurd even when I don't have all the wildcards I want
Grindy match, or punt wars?
The GREED of this mana base
I'd love to see you do something similar to this in Pioneer. Maybe not all five colors, but definitely Abzan for Siege Rhino. 👀
Do it 5 color with Rhino, Yuriok (think that was the sulti one), mom, and clones
my god how long did it take to make this deck KEKW figuring out the manabase for this deck must have been a challenge
nice brew bro
Panharmonimom for sure. You understand from the beginning and the end can get messed up with out loss of understanding
were people saying mom would be bad in standard?
Almost surprised you didn't try to blink Portal in that last game.
Seth: backup elesh norn seems good
Seth immediately after: hm, let's pitch this elesh norn to hand size
Most liked video of 2023? Probably!
One card that I would love to see in a blink Elesh Norn deck is Preston the Vanisher. Make more tokens and more etbs!
That thumbnail though ♥️
That last game was actually a commander game.
I was hoping for mirror box Elesh Norn but this was pretty fun
I think Panharmommycon is the best name.
Watching this deck makes me realize that even when the deck is built to make the most of it, the wanderer is absolutely worse than a farewell
The new contagious vorrac might be better than stomper for this deck.
While it only gets you the land in hand it can get nonbadics and unlike stomper it can be used to block/attack imideately.
Reaction to 30:05 : I wonder if that fact might *finally* push a poison change to commander. When poison isn't just "pump your infect creature to oneshot someone" and becomes "give everyone a poison counter and relaxedly proliferate them out of the game".
We as a community need to come together and decide, is it Momamonicon, Panharmomicon, or Panharmonimom?
Considering the body, effect on all permanent ETBs and how much more common artifact and permanent removal became over the years I venture to say MOM is better than the original.
New one is very very good but never underestimate how brutal the global -2/-2 is
Leyline binding for [w] exiling two things at instant speed feels like cheating xD
What about a Futurama Mom reference??
i like how no one mentions the half mill coin and gems
I'm surprised it didn't just devolve to Momharmomamom.
I need an edit of SaffronOlive going monomicon and the muppets going Do dooo da Doo do
Next time play mom yarok and panharmonicon in explorer.
4 seconds in and I already love this
You should consider adding lotus field for good fixing in 5 colours. 😏
Legit when seth was getting a messenger call I paused the video and checked my phone 🤣🤣🤣
I was surprised not to see the cappena sac lands in this deck because it doubles up your fetches! Great video however, keep it up Seth!
It actually doesn't work that way, unfortunately. The way the lands are worded, you only go fetch if you sacrifice the land. Elesh Norn will trigger the etb twice, but because you can't sacrifice the land when the second trigger resolves (because you sacrificed it when the first trigger resolves), you won't be able to get a second fetch.
@@Buchaus Oof!
There's a really weird tension with those lands though, in order to make the double trigger work, and to reliably have basics to fetch out, you have to play way more basics - which means you have to play way less dual lands, which makes your 5C mana base extremely awkward.
In a 3C version I think it would be way more feasible to make the mana work with the sac lands.
Can you make a Explorer Bo1 version, please?
My favorite is Panhar-Momma-con
No Fable of the Mirror Breaker feels so very wrong. Also more treasures. Big Score maybe
Seth is only playing best of one on standard now?
Panharmommycon was right there.
When I play elesh norn now I'm gonna tell people 'I'm telling mom'
I thought he might go overboard and head to historic for yarok and panharmonicon in the same deck 👀
"just the big butt of Mom coming down to block"
Seth, ass man confirmed.
Every time he says terra stomper I die a little more on the inside
My favorite version is PanharMommycon
Why didn't opponent unearth city s ape leveler attack, kill the leyline, and then have the saga etb and make a 4/4
What about a hunting grounds against the odss video :D
Elesh Norn built like a Pixar Mom
what were you waiting for in that game against the monowhite norn deck? You had portal to phyrexia ready for so long when it would have been absolutely devastating and they had no norn in play. "it's still anyone's game" NO IT WASN'T!
PanharMOMicon! Come on now!
i was expecting norn, yarok, and pan in the same deck :(
Seth will have a full grip of cards most of which win the game but will instead draw more cards to discard at end phase.
Excuse me? Sorry. Mommy? Sorry. Mommy? Sorry.
