Seth pick up 2 wins. So Jund is an average against the odds deck.. for 1500$.... I see why people don't give up on Jund, they spent too much money to give up now.
I'm here before the game play wondering why the eff he's acting like these are brand new Jund cards and wondering who is screaming Reids name. And then I hit play..
Damn dude. That intro got me good. Not gonna lie, I haven't kept up with the Modern meta in years so when I first clicked on this video, I was expecting an explanation on how Jund has fallen out of favor for new pushed F.I.R.E. designed card piles, and that Seth was here to show the world Jund is still kicking. And then the intro hit and I realized what day it is.
Imagine the first opponent "Oh snap, I'm playing against Seth PBKA Saffron Olive, oh boy." "Wait, Overgrown Tomb? Ok, maybe I'll get thoughtseized...No? Must be jank" "Alright, lets see what he's got Wait Seth's playing a Jund deck too!...What's going on? Am I being punked?"
I legitimately love that this is an April Fool's joke about cards being misevaluated , but it's still sort of against the odds since Jund hasn't been in the best spot lately.
just like storm tries to mix having lots of mana and having lots of cards in the same turn, jund tries to mix having mana over time, cards over time, and the cheapest destruction spells because then your engines can keep on going without any problems
It was painfully funny how long Seth kept up the dialogue about his "bad" cards. Lols when his opponents were also playing those 0/1 "bad" Grizzly Bears.
48 minutes for an April 1st video. You guys really had me going. Also, hats off to Adriano (the artist for basically all of MTGGoldfish's art) for making the Tarmogoyf cute.
This was hilarious Seth, also Respect for keeping a Straight Face. I didn't expect this & when i saw "Modern Jund" as "Against the Odds" i tried to think of some janky Against the Odds Type Jund Brew, then i watched the Intro and then it dawned on me. The Fact that it's the 1st April only came to me reading the Comments Prost & Cheers from the Snow-Covered Bavarian Alps
*sees title of video and looks at the time and date upon viewing* I don't know what's more amazing. Jund is at this level now in Modern or that Seth did this completely straight faced...or that Richard hasn't crashed through the screen screeching at Seth.
it was a group effort! adriano’s art really let me run away with the video prompt, and seth’s deadpan meme-ing all makes it so much better on a rewatch! but thank you! i had so much fun making this!!!
Love the intro xD people are always so quick with their opinions. I am in a lot of facebook groups for specific archtypes and damn... I don't even dare post a new card idea anymore.
Dear Mr. Olive, I have been following your programme for some time now and, so far, have always been splendidly entertained. I must however say that this new deck of yours is simply egregious. Enclosed are some pieces of advice to facilitate improvement. 1. The manabase, and the colours. Have you noticed how many of your lands cost you life in some fashion? Were you to play fewer colours, your mana-base would not torment you so. In fact, there is a deck - Eldrazi Tron - that completely forswears colour! Perhaps this would be a good sequel to this video? 2. The deck's name. How is this list related to the shard of Jund? You are only playing one card from the Shards of Alara block, the aforementioned 4-mana 3/2. A better name for the deck would either be "KaZenLorRavNiCaKirModern HorizonsSightCommanderStrad" (a combination of set-names), or "Phil". 3. I fail to understand why you use this painfully old-fashioned piece of soft-ware instead of its newer cousin, Magic: The Gathering Arena®. 4. What the blooming heck is a "Tarmogoyf"? Yours truly, a long-time admirer
I usually roll my eyes when comments complain about scooping early, but holy shit these matches had him scooping with answers in hand and on top of the deck.
Jund against the odds absolutely kills me man thats so funny 2 mana 0/1? HUH? WHAT? Omg im watching the intro now seth actually killing me god damn lmfao
Great games Seth! That 2nd game against death shadow at 33:16, instead of not side boarding you should've taken out your hand disruption, except a single thoughtseize, (e.g. 2 thoughtseize, 3 inquisition) and put in your 2 bolts and 3 spellbombs
this video is great, haven't played modern in a min, but wondering if you think ashiok could be worth it to sb in the tron mu? Totally possible that you can't get it down early enough, but it does shut down a lot of their enablers. Oh they just had natural tron game 2, i guess nothing matters and life is without meaning
I remember back when Dark Confidant got printed I went to some site to get advice on a BG aggro deck with a few copies of it to get me through to my evasive threats/moldervine cloak/Jitte. They tried to tell me it was unplayable without Top and I'm like "But my deck tops out at 4 CMC and I have lifelink, why do I care how much life I lose?"
I think the deck you be tier one if you swap out your wrenn and sixes for some og tibalts, i find that he puts on the pressure really fast and he’s super hard to answer because it’s super hard to remember he’s on the board
I can't believe Seth was able to keep a straight face through that intro.
I was going to say the exact same thing.
No way it didn't take at least a few takes. lol
It was the straightest I've ever seen him do ANY intro
This into had me rolling with laughter so much
first time i watched it, i literally messaged him like ‘seth how did you go through the whole intro without a fault?’, it’s truly amazing
"I'm not good at D&D because I'm not good at acting" he has said multiple times on stream.
His secret is that he’s not acting 😉
This video is just Seth memeing for 48 and a half minutes and I love it.
He is just a meme
How is it a meme?
@@robspear03 This is a tier magic deck that puts up consistent results. This is a spoof against the odds video
Opening has the cutest Tarmogoyf ever.
The Goldfish art is getting sooo good!
Have we not laughed enough about Jund.
Answer: We can never laugh enough
well, doesn't matter the theme, we can't laugh enough :D
"Against the Odds: Modern Jund
" title is such a win title.
TRUUUUE

@@radradder sad thing is that, he doesn’t even have the updated list lol
@@radradder or because with time and dedication the deck puts up consistent favorable results?
I know this was a joke, but dammit Seth, the deck tech and intro hurt my soul a little bit.
It is a good lesson in not judging cards before you see them hearing have these modern Staples were Panned
It was a joke
But then it wasn't
And now it is again
Yeah Jund is a joke we all know it 😂😂😂😂😂
I'm here before the game play wondering why the eff he's acting like these are brand new Jund cards and wondering who is screaming Reids name.
And then I hit play..
It wasnt really. Jund isnt very good.
Damn dude. That intro got me good. Not gonna lie, I haven't kept up with the Modern meta in years so when I first clicked on this video, I was expecting an explanation on how Jund has fallen out of favor for new pushed F.I.R.E. designed card piles, and that Seth was here to show the world Jund is still kicking.

This was secretly seth’s letter of resignation to Richard.

*knock knock*
Assistant : "Hey Seth, Richard wants to see you in his office"
Seth packing his desk : "Understandable"
"Richard wants to see you in his office.
Why?
Because you're fucking fired, that's why."
This is the best Against the Odds you've ever done. The reflective comments about Strangleroot Geist were my favorite.
It's kinda funny how the ideia of the Jund deck is basically just to put a lot of good cards together.
just like storm tries to mix having lots of mana and having lots of cards in the same turn, jund tries to mix having mana over time, cards over time, and the cheapest destruction spells because then your engines can keep on going without any problems
I like it that way. Makes every game different. Unlike combo or aggro decks where the games are pretty much the same
The funniest part about it is it works
It was painfully funny how long Seth kept up the dialogue about his "bad" cards. Lols when his opponents were also playing those 0/1 "bad" Grizzly Bears.

!!! this is super important. the art for this video was ON FIRE, and i wouldn’t have been able to do what i do without it
Props for the seriousness of the deck tech. It was hysterical!!!!
Hilarious video! I want to shoutout to the editor for waiting to label what the matchup was until after Seth finds out. That was very nice touch.
I mean Richards ability to 3-2 this type of for the memes deck is his hyperbaric chamber training that allows him to win in commander clash so much.
This belongs on meme or dream instead. Biggest meme of 2021
Of 2012-2021
but it has a sideboard and 0 chance of going 7-0 in standard
As a rock player I can say this is some top notch trolling. I've wanted to smash my face into the screen every 15 seconds. Well done sir
"Almost gizzly bear-"
I'm in tears 😂.
Best against the odds I've ever seen. 10/10
I think this might be the best description in MTG Goldfish history.
I mean, at this point this could be a legit against the odds.
Agreed
shots fired
That's what I thought when I saw the thumbnai
I'm not convinced it WASN'T an actual against the odds. Maybe Seth didn't even realize it was april fools
that’s what makes it even more beautiful
This was hilarious Seth, also Respect for keeping a Straight Face. I didn't expect this & when i saw "Modern Jund" as "Against the Odds" i tried to think of some janky Against the Odds Type Jund Brew, then i watched the Intro and then it dawned on me.

Prost & Cheers from the Snow-Covered Bavarian Alps
That intro brought back memories of me buying 20 Tarmogoyfs for 2$ (5$ for foils) in the pre-sale of future sight ... good old times
Nice!
I have trouble verbalizing how much I love the intro.
The editor is having a ton of fun with these intros
i really am hehe
Richard shoulda been a special guest as he plays a lot of against the odds deck.
I like the commitment to the joke with the commentary throughout.
Seeing those early takes on the cards was actually hilarious, always love looking back at how bad many people are at evaluating cards
Next against the odds can you try those Urza lands out?
this is against the odds. If you want to see competitive content go check out channel fireball
These might be a bit too janky.
@@boontish1104 what do you mean? the urza lands are unplayable
@@boontish1104 three land combo without a guaranteed threat? Weak
"If you wanna jank around, if you have an extra $1500 to spend"...
Classic!
I been watching your videos for years but man you KILLED me with this and I love Jund
Fantastic video. Can't believe you made this deck work!!
I was initially confused because it’s still not April 1st on the east coast
God that description is so good
Oh good is the same of the intro but even better. Incredible
i need to replay the intro so many times. This is gold lol
"Is this an early season April Fools joke?"
*sees title of video and looks at the time and date upon viewing*
I don't know what's more amazing. Jund is at this level now in Modern or that Seth did this completely straight faced...or that Richard hasn't crashed through the screen screeching at Seth.
Watching this intro today of all days was fantastic!
This is it. This is peak meme/satire content! By far the best against the odds episode ever!
The old reviews had me dying. 10/10
I've never laughed so much at an intro, all these card comparisons are gold 😂
These intros are just some of the highlights of my youtube viewing for the day
Editor really outdid theirselves this video!
it was a group effort! adriano’s art really let me run away with the video prompt, and seth’s deadpan meme-ing all makes it so much better on a rewatch! but thank you! i had so much fun making this!!!
This was great, my favorite part was those old comments about the cards. I can't wait for next year when Seth plays against the odds, Modern Infect.
This was the most advanced intro yet!
Intro proper had me howling, absolute genius
The intro had me laughing the whole time, 10/10
Love the intro xD people are always so quick with their opinions. I am in a lot of facebook groups for specific archtypes and damn... I don't even dare post a new card idea anymore.
those starting memes keep getting better and better
0:28 is the face of a man who knows EXACTLY what he's about to unveil to the world
The top tier deck of Modern once upon a time. RIP
Haven't watched nothing but intro yet, just here to say how much I loved it, best intro ever
We knew it was coming.
Thank you for this. I really needed a good laugh this week! 🤣
Ok you did a little to well for this and I am now starting to wonder if this is a real against the odds
Seth if a great player like you couldn't make the deck good then there is just no hope for it man 😀😀😀 great video as usual
About as much stats as a grizzly bear. Hahaha hahaha. Love this so much.
That's a very nice sendoff video, Seth. I hope Richard took your resignation well

You've done what very few people have managed to do: Make an April Fools Joke that was actually funny.
Absolutely brilliant introduction
The level of trolling in this video is legendary and I love it.
I usually roll my eyes when comments complain about scooping early, but holy shit these matches had him scooping with answers in hand and on top of the deck.
This is possibly the greatest meme
Jund against the odds absolutely kills me man thats so funny
2 mana 0/1? HUH? WHAT?
Omg im watching the intro now seth actually killing me god damn lmfao
3:08 Heeeeeeeyyyyy now, show some respect for my boy Gatekeeper of Malakir.
Intro + deck tech are amazing.
This is easily the best thing we've done in a long time!
Great games Seth! That 2nd game against death shadow at 33:16, instead of not side boarding you should've taken out your hand disruption, except a single thoughtseize, (e.g. 2 thoughtseize, 3 inquisition) and put in your 2 bolts and 3 spellbombs
Seth i laughed for the first 8 minutes of the video. Love it
Best against the odds ever. Sick burn!!!
Forgot what day today was. This is amazing!
That was quite the opening. Very cool
This video is a master piece!!!! I'm putting seth up for the oscar this year!!
This was gold. Pure gold.
The tone of this video is *chef's kiss"
what a time to be alive, old school Jund in against the odds
this was some good play with the elemental token vs burn math and counting, nice!
This is much more of a "sweet jank brew" than literally any standard deck with Edgewall Innkeeper
That was great, Seth. Thank you for the laughs. :-)
This came up while I was trying to catch up on goldfish videos after taking a magic break and this one had me tripping for a hot minute.
this video is great, haven't played modern in a min, but wondering if you think ashiok could be worth it to sb in the tron mu? Totally possible that you can't get it down early enough, but it does shut down a lot of their enablers. Oh they just had natural tron game 2, i guess nothing matters and life is without meaning
okay seriously though 30:37 was one of the best hands ive seen come out of jund in modern
This is the best thing I've ever seen
I was actually laughing so hard at the entire video... is that... THE MIRROR?!?!

They tried to tell me it was unplayable without Top and I'm like "But my deck tops out at 4 CMC and I have lifelink, why do I care how much life I lose?"
Dark Confidant being described as stats slightly worse than grizzly bear was pretty funny.
This is way too funny to me. What a performance!
"Can we win with a Grizzly Bear, does a Grizzly Bear work, sometimes Grizzly Bears are just not bad"..... WHO HURT YOU!?!?!
I think the deck you be tier one if you swap out your wrenn and sixes for some og tibalts, i find that he puts on the pressure really fast and he’s super hard to answer because it’s super hard to remember he’s on the board
Part of me really wanted the edit to be “It’s Seth, probably better known as Tarmagoyf” but I suppose it was just my fantasy
AHHHH I SHOULD’VE BUT I’VE USED THAT JOKE THIS WEEK ALREADY
Oh god I love this so much
Best against the odds ever. I hope Sethtron Olive makes many more like this
That deck tech was hilarious 😂
