“Hello everyone. Its Seth. PROOOOOBABLY better known as SaffronOlive. And its time for another edition of ‘Against the Gods’. And today, we’re going to be traveling to the Mountains of Madness to fight the eldritch gods within!”
Though the Planeswalkers are so powerful that they are very nearly Gods of Earth themselves, they do not understand the mysteries of the Gods of Outside.
Ah, I see that the New York winter is treating you well, Seth. Stay warm this weekend! EDIT: I feel like Traverse really wants you to run stuff like Vine Mare or Thrun? Honestly, the card I *really* want to see someone break in a 60 card format is Harvest Season: *Harvest Season* - 2G Sorcery Search your library for up to X basic land cards, where X is the number of tapped creatures you control, put those cards onto the battlefield tapped, then shuffle.
Hmmm some kind of a landfall token deck. Perhaps something with awaken the woods maybe? Maybe song of the freyalise to get your creatures tapped without attacking.
Traverse probably just needs to be like a 1 or 2 of, not the full playset. It is inconsistent but when you can time it right or protect it with a counter then it's pretty great
28:00 You only tutored up 5 lands! If you got 6, then they would have lost Sundering Titan and they would have gone down to 4 life (which is significant considering how many 4-power threats you had)
I saw that too. But in the end it didn't matter as the opponent healed up to 20+ and the sundering titan wasn't the deciding factor for the game ending. Still a missplay/missclick.
Hey, Seth. I definitely love these 'critical mass' style decks vs the simple combo decks that either get there or don't. The games are way more interactive, longer, and more interesting. Nonetheless, love the content my guy
Theres somthing comedic about how Seth tried for half a stream to eat lands with Karn with no real success and now everytime hes in that match up it happens to him immediately lol
Only getting 5 out of 6 availible basics with Traverse was such a punt haha, would've bumped up the power of the bears to 12 and at least trade with the sundering titan. oof! fun deck though :D
@28:00 you took 5 lands instead of 6, was it a misclick? It would have given the bears +1 in power, making it a trade with the opposing 9/12 sundering titan (not sure if it would have made things different, as the opponent proceeded to live the dream with their archive draws but still something to note).
Cool intro. The Marit Lage land that turns into the 20/20 flying avatar is much cooler. Marit Lage, one of the most powerful things in MtG and yet no one would even remember them if not for the snow stuff recently.
Way back in like 2012ish, I had a modern delver deck (similar to match 2) and played against a guy at work who ran the dark depths/thespian stage combo. Poor guy didn't know vapor snag was one of my favorites.
great content Seth! felt very against the odds'ish and had me on the edge of my seat at times even. thanks. ps. yes to answer your question, Super friends are cool.. but I like the versions that play Sarkahn, the masterless for surprise pw flyer beats
36:30 I mean, they apparently would have only left up Bonecrusher for blocks. So, you would have won even with them holding Thoughtseize by attacking all.
Super sweet brew! Can’t believe this janky plan actually came together 😂 Also I for one am in favor of superfriends content once ONE releases since there’s so many sweet new pieces it’d be a shame not to brew around them
Plainwalkers are what got me into magic and super friends is the first comander deck I ever built. So I would love to see some game play of super friends when all will be one comes out.
At 28:05 Seth, you traverse and you can choose 6, which would make your bears lethal vs sundering titan, but you misclicked and clicked only 5. Soooo yeah maybe slow down when you're clicking. You'll also notice your bears go from 6 to 11 power, which is only 5... so that's a giga punt
U could use the enchantmebt that says " 1 colourless; sac thid enchanment and creatures you control gains haste" to finish the job the turn marit lage hits the table.
More super friends depends on how they are build. I'd love all sorts of not-control super friends. However Esper or grixis control super friends is just not fun anymore. Agro or combo super friends?
I run traverse the outlands in gargos (commander). Once i got all my snow lands into play. And with Sunstone, I was able to control combat the rest of the game. Sunstone is an underrated card for commander. It's broken by questing beast.
im already playing superfriends in standard. grixis anvil superfriends has been very fun. the anvil gives you a lot of life and blockers to grind out the match while you get value of kaito and saheeli, sorin is just good, and then lili and ob attack your opponents hand.
PreVideo prediction - if Marit Lage wasnt a token, but the echantment transformed it would be pretty good, but the fact bounce can kill it is prob gonna mean too much interaction possibility for it to be too good.
Someone should make a custom set with all of Seth's mispronunciations as variations on the original cards. - "Brothershood End" - "Shadowsphere" - "Yarion" could be a pirate - "Champion of the Perished" oh wait, that's already a card...
I use faceless haven in my zombie deck and they get buffed from lord effects. now i want to make a tribal tribal deck with tribal lords, shapeshifters, and faceless hevan.
You have so many ways to tutor up lands, it wouldn't have been difficult to add white, and Search for Glory. A tutor that gains you life, and finds the Slumber.
Best intro yet with Bear's cameo
came to comment for the same reason lol
We love Bear!
Bearit Lage!
I live about an hour and a half west of Seth, so I appreciate the shut out to WNY weather
I don't know there have been some pretty good intros
“Hello everyone. Its Seth. PROOOOOBABLY better known as SaffronOlive. And its time for another edition of ‘Against the Gods’. And today, we’re going to be traveling to the Mountains of Madness to fight the eldritch gods within!”
I would totally watch that. Great book.
What do you think, Bear? Can you give me your best “I’m not afraid of incomprehensible beings beyond the bounds of sanity” face?
AAAAAgainst the Gods time!
@@gochadcyou would watch a book?
Though the Planeswalkers are so powerful that they are very nearly Gods of Earth themselves, they do not understand the mysteries of the Gods of Outside.
This has got to be the most comfy intro I've seen for an MTG video. And this was the deck I voted for too! Very sweet!
Glad you liked it, and thanks for voting!
Loooove the intro! We need much more Bear!
“Our Crim opponent” 😂
Wish they had crowd surfed the Karn
The scry 1 on marit lages slumber is so good, getting to scry every turn makes things quite consistent!
Ah, I see that the New York winter is treating you well, Seth. Stay warm this weekend!
EDIT: I feel like Traverse really wants you to run stuff like Vine Mare or Thrun? Honestly, the card I *really* want to see someone break in a 60 card format is Harvest Season:
*Harvest Season* - 2G
Sorcery
Search your library for up to X basic land cards, where X is the number of tapped creatures you control, put those cards onto the battlefield tapped, then shuffle.

@@winssports4830 scute swarm 👌
I do love that card
Harvest Season with the new Dryad Arbor X spell. WEW LAD
Cuuute! We want to see Bear more often!

Ok, that intro was pretty great. Well done, Seth Better Known As Snowit Lage!
Often times Against the Odds' backup plan outshine the main plan but here even when you're beating down you're still doing it with snow.
Only getting 5 out of 6 availible basics with Traverse was such a punt haha, would've bumped up the power of the bears to 12 and at least trade with the sundering titan. oof!
fun deck though :D
Wasn't sure if I was gonna watch the whole video but the intro didn't even leave me a choice.
Loved the video thanks for all you do
Would’ve loved to have had a Bear (dog) cam every time you mentioned Bear (bear).
Seth out in the snow with Bear is the best intro ever.
@28:00 you took 5 lands instead of 6, was it a misclick?
It would have given the bears +1 in power, making it a trade with the opposing 9/12 sundering titan (not sure if it would have made things different, as the opponent proceeded to live the dream with their archive draws but still something to note).
Cool intro. The Marit Lage land that turns into the 20/20 flying avatar is much cooler. Marit Lage, one of the most powerful things in MtG and yet no one would even remember them if not for the snow stuff recently.
If you could tattoo a video on yourself, then you should do the one where you commandeer/strip mined Tomer. That was legendary. xD
This is the best intro. Touching grass but still playing MTG.
Way back in like 2012ish, I had a modern delver deck (similar to match 2) and played against a guy at work who ran the dark depths/thespian stage combo. Poor guy didn't know vapor snag was one of my favorites.
The pronounciation of marit lage to marit lâje was too funny 😂
I would think that is the usual English pronunciation of the name. Compare "page", "sage", "age", etc etc.
54:00 I'm guessing they forgot about the haste enchantment and were going with the plan of tucking the token instead.
Love how the Grixis opponent was annoying you for 15 turns, but didn't even deal damage you below 20 in the end 🤭
The best intro! Please do more like that
That is such a cute Marit Lage drawing ❤️
great content Seth! felt very against the odds'ish and had me on the edge of my seat at times even. thanks.

Thumbs up just for that opening. I'm a Truck driver and I felt that snow on my beard. 😂
I'm a trucker and drove thru the Ithaca area for the first time. What a beautiful part of the country
Yeah, I grew up here and hated it, but after moving away and coming back I realize it is super beautiful.
LOVE the intro !
Echoing all the love for Bear! Never enough Bear
Wow, what a cool deck! Been waiting for someone to make use of the snow stuff in Historic
28:05 why don't you take all 6 to kill the golem ?
Marit Lage? You mean… Bear-it Lage?
Hahaha yes!
Great snow video, engagement for bonus Bear!
The fact that there is no Tatyova as a backup wincon is my sole gripe with the list. Also Awaken the woods in the sideboard.
Opponent having Archmage's Charm to try to take our Marit Lage and then the Negate counter. *chef's kiss*
Awwww bear is so cute 🥰 what a good doggo
BEST INTRO EVER
That intro looks like absolute paradise.
Super sweet brew! Can’t believe this janky plan actually came together 😂
Also I for one am in favor of superfriends content once ONE releases since there’s so many sweet new pieces it’d be a shame not to brew around them
Big fan of Merit Lodge. Imagine playing it with Merit Lage.
"Wake me up before it snow snows" - Marit Lage
Plainwalkers are what got me into magic and super friends is the first comander deck I ever built. So I would love to see some game play of super friends when all will be one comes out.
Youre the best mtg content creator ever! Saffron the G.O.A.T! GO BEAR!
Yo that intro was straight 🔥
Best video intro ever?
Here for the alpine moon in the sideboard and bear.
Best intro ever, Bear looks super cute
At 28:05 Seth, you traverse and you can choose 6, which would make your bears lethal vs sundering titan, but you misclicked and clicked only 5. Soooo yeah maybe slow down when you're clicking. You'll also notice your bears go from 6 to 11 power, which is only 5... so that's a giga punt
Ohh, I didn't even realized I did that. Good call!
36:30 “if our opponent hadn’t thoughtseized we wouldn’t have been able to win”
Kraken and Stomper sitting there like, wtf?
That was such a beautifully done cold open!
That intro was cold brother
5:28 "these kraken are very good for exiling cause we're nowhere near casting them"... literally one island away form casting it xD
Great to see Footfall Crater do its thing, I'm real big on this card.
Sick. I messed around with a more rampy version of this a while back that ran a couple old school Vorinclexes and Jin-Gitaxii. Such a fun deck.
Ohh, nice! Do you have a list?
SETH!!!! THAT INTRO!!!! I LOVE IT!!!
Also you have beautiful eyes! :D
Ha, thanks!
DA BEAR! He acts real well, your fur baby's going places
20/20 intro for sure!
U could use the enchantmebt that says " 1 colourless; sac thid enchanment and creatures you control gains haste" to finish the job the turn marit lage hits the table.

Bear's Marit Lage face was spot on! Seth, wihat is a Mari Lage though? 🤣 I'm surprised no one else recognized the typo in the title.
Snow decks are fun, I enjoyed this. The historic decks are also a nice break from a pretty stale standard
Amazing Marit Lage face!
When it gets that cold outside, I like to stay inside my Marit Lodge.
whoa that's just cold
Literally
55:49 War of the spark was quite a while ago tbf.
BEST INTRO YET!!!!
An answer to 28:14, QR code linked to this video.
I think I like Kazuul's fury over the cycler enchantment.
Who would win: All the planeswalkers or one Noodly Girl?
Intro with bear. Kills with bear. Seems fitting.
I started playing in THB, and Super Friends is super fun for me
im already playing superfriends in standard. grixis anvil superfriends has been very fun. the anvil gives you a lot of life and blockers to grind out the match while you get value of kaito and saheeli, sorin is just good, and then lili and ob attack your opponents hand.
I enjoy a fun, budget friendly super friends deck. I have a fairly powered down atraxa superfriends control deck in commander
I swear Seth adds a new syllable to "Olive" with every new video
27:46
Hedron! 👏Archive!👏
A deck where the threats are Marit Lage and a bear? How did we not call it Bear-it Lage?
Scrying a one mana cycler to the bottom is like cycling it for free, seth lol
I always enjoy a super friends deck, but I also understand how salty they can feel for opponents.
With keruga they can still play brazen borrower and bone crusher as cheap removal. Maybe split cards too but I'm not sure about that.
Does Bear know you're talking to other bears?
shhhh
I love a good snowday in the fishbowl
Goated intro!
superfriends tribal has to be an against the odds episode
PreVideo prediction - if Marit Lage wasnt a token, but the echantment transformed it would be pretty good, but the fact bounce can kill it is prob gonna mean too much interaction possibility for it to be too good.
War of the Spark was a long time ago. Bring on Superfriends!
Someone should make a custom set with all of Seth's mispronunciations as variations on the original cards.
- "Brothershood End"
- "Shadowsphere"
- "Yarion" could be a pirate
- "Champion of the Perished" oh wait, that's already a card...
Da bear! XD So many others too, haha.
30:00 Did you miss lethal by not playing kraken and firing of faceless havens? 👀
That intro was platinum.
That colorless deck was an arsenal of nuclear bombs.
I always love watching super friends.
I use faceless haven in my zombie deck and they get buffed from lord effects. now i want to make a tribal tribal deck with tribal lords, shapeshifters, and faceless hevan.
this deck is pretty fun !! I recommend running Maskwood Nexus too, it makes stuff get really really spicy
Mistform ultimus gaming
I feel all my mythic wildcards have been waiting for a historic superfriends deck to build not gonna lie
You have so many ways to tutor up lands, it wouldn't have been difficult to add white, and Search for Glory. A tutor that gains you life, and finds the Slumber.
Yeah, I had Search for Glory in the deck initially, but ended up cutting it to focus on being just two colors.
