Me at 25:20 : This is quietly a great play Seth at 25:47 : "That's a 13/13 Multani taking down TWOOOO Torrential Gearhulks!" Me at 25:55 : This is loudly a great play
i think nissa vital force would be super sweet in this deck. IDK if it would be good but plus-ing her and then ulting next turn for the draw a card every time you play a land emblem would be super fun
I play a version of this deck, I play more of a desert subtheme with excavator for the value. It also triggers hour of promise and you can keep saccing and replaying deserts. I play sightly more creatures and two of each cycling desert.
I was super happy upon realizing it was Esper control that you drew your other swordtooth. The power of two lands is strong even if it doesn't look like you won't necessarily have the lands immediately and him + multani was back breaking there.
MTGGoldfish Absolutely, the part that got me though was how much of a hard time they had dealing with him. A Syncopate or Vraska's Contempt would have sucked but you pretty much turned every other answer they had into "discard this card to not die an early and horrible death." Beautiful.
This deck is very sweet, but god, what a pleasure was to watch flaming wizards (which I've got in paper a week ago) crashing through :D Thank you for that lovely burn deck, Seth, although I almost always got either flooded or screwed with it xD
Haven't even finished the tech and this is the first standard deck I've wanted to play since zombies in innistrad (original) haha. Love it. Hope it's atleast half as competitive!!!
Made a deck like this but also with Nissa steward and Sylvan awakening. Finally decided there were too many fun cards to play and turned it into a ug lands brawl deck
You should make this exact same deck in Arena for Goldfish Gladiators. It’s 3 cards off from being 100% Arena ready, one of which is in the sideboard and the other 2 are lands, and on Thursday it will get even better.
Great deck, I built it in Arena and it's a ton of fun especially against mid-range and control. well timed river's rebuke is good against aggro but the deck has no chance against mono-red.
Went up against a turn 6 ghalta with my green white token deck. Next turn I attacked with a 16/16 Shanna Sisay's Legacy thanks to 7 tokens and an appeal/authority! He had to chump block lol! Felt amazing
I built a deck very similar to this in arena (3 Multani, 3 Tatyova), but I am a little less all in on ramp and instead play branchwalkers, jadelight rangers, and brontodons for early game interaction. The largest Multani I have had was 21/21 and it attacked through a kicked Josu Vess for lethal. Almost makes up for the dozens of times I have lost with it.
I was playing a version of this deck with 4 Ballista as a way to stave off aggro - but I think the way to go is Temur splashing for Hour of Devastation, Abrade and The First Eruption. 1 damage to all creatures plus ramp (and it's easier to splash in a wedge)
Seth should try playing a deck or two where every card has different art. It'd be a fun deck building challenge plus he can further test the alleged "mtgo scry bug."
Since we saw the blossoming defense coming you could have used spire on jadelight instead. So they would have either used BD on jadelight instead of Ghalta or let it go and used BD on Ghalta. Neither of which would have been lethal.
Seth, you've now played modern Lands and standard Lands. HOW have you not played legacy Lands yet? Please Seth, its such an amazing prison-ish land destruction-ish combo-ish value-filled janky tier one deck you NEED to play it!!!!
Yeah at 49:02 for sure you block the Ghalta first you're still alive, don't spires first. You survive at 2 life because he can't blossoming defense the Ghalta (chump with Elves on the Jadelight).
Seems like Blackblade Reforged would be pretty sweet in this deck. Got the lands and got a few Legendary creatures too for the cheap equip. Seems like Tatyova especially could benefit from the stat boost.
49:04 put elves in front of jadelight and the other 3 infront of ghalta take 4 trample and fall to 3 life. Don't know why you scooped unless I'm missing something. Then get to deep freeze and hold up the land again to stall.
There's a land that turns into a creature permanently. They kill the opponent by cracking them with it. If they want to make your life miserable, they can also use Grove of the Burnwillows Punishing Fire to 3 mana ping you every turn. Molten Vortex is in the sideboard.
Hey Seth, love the videos! I've been playing my own, non budget version of this deck that has been doing very well for me! Though it does look very different from your list. If you are interested, I can give you my list to try out on stream or whatever you wish. I went more for the "Turbo fog" route. Either way I love the idea behind this deck, and Tatyova is the truth. But why no Grow from the ashes? Keep up the good work!
The deck was awesome!!!! You should play in stream a no budget version with karn and nissa vital force. Also is there a way of making it better against aggro?
I really like this deck. Reminds me of your much abrew UG ramp deck. I noticed you ran some fogs in that deck. Do you think that will make a difference against aggro?
Seth's line has a nice advantage of there are very few cards he cares about (including the in play scarab god really) so Commit denies the opponent a useful draw step.
That mono green matchup would only be lost to exactly blossoming defense, so why activate spires on ghalta if you'd not be dead to that situation? :P pretty obv they had it
Pedro do Valle 48:50 this situation was ripe for the patented Seth “let’s think about this “ moment. The next level play would be triple block ghalta chump jadelight wait for the defense that prolly doesn’t get cast. Go down to 2, next turn deep freeze draw out blossoming defense or pray for rivers rebuke draw, replay multani hope for not third blossoming defense. Go from there
Actually wait in that case Seth would still be dead if opponent let deep freeze resolve and attacked and blossoming defense on the unblocked llanowar elves the following turn. Ghalta inevitability >< so it’s either rivers rebuke or I guess hour of promise chumps
Yeah, it's default. I can choose the cards, but then I have to choose all of the cards, and they are the right version like 99% of the time so it's usually not worth the effort.
Multani burning through a few counters then bodying three torrential gearhulks is one of the best things I've ever seen.
MULTANI SMAAAAAAASH
It went through 5 cards in a control deck and still won talk about card advantage lol.
Me at 25:20 : This is quietly a great play
Seth at 25:47 : "That's a 13/13 Multani taking down TWOOOO Torrential Gearhulks!"
Me at 25:55 : This is loudly a great play
that was truly so beautiful
Watching saffron olive play magic is like taking a shower, I do it every day and enjoy every minute of it.
you take too many showers
One shower a day is too many??
technically yes, but don't let that stop you.
wpmer showering everyday is bad for your hair bc you are washing away the oils in your hair. You run the risk of balding.
You can take a shower without washing your hair
Favorite Deck in a while. I think it'd be fun to see this played with the upgrades.
i think nissa vital force would be super sweet in this deck. IDK if it would be good but plus-ing her and then ulting next turn for the draw a card every time you play a land emblem would be super fun
Needs Dunes of the Dead. Underrated land. Tap it for mana, sac it, get a zombie, replay it, tap it for mana. Then do it again.
Ohh, that does sound pretty sweet.
22:00 Mountain llanowar elves XD
Matt Chamberlain I always say swamp, no matter what land I play, its nice to see that he does something similar here
After the PT he forgot about the existence of all the other basics
Matt Chamberlain same at 29:50
I like how you have a 20/20 trampler on board and you're thinking the line is to mill out your opponent.
You should test the scry bug by just making a deck of one-ofs and scry for a while to see if anything happens. You know. For science.
OR play four-ofs, but only use cards that have a bunch of reprints so he can check the set symbol or art
Or use a deck completly comprised of rat colonies and get no information what so ever
Derek Gill I've tested. There is no glitch. Seth just gets really unlucky.
Louise Drake But what about the Ponder bug
in this instance, he scryed, then drew field of ruin, then swordtooth. not like the normal "scry bug" that i don't think exists anyways
This is going to be my first standard deck ever. Can't wait to play it. Thank you for the awesome video
22:01 They moment you realize Seth is playing on a whole 'nother level...
"Mountain... Llanowar Elves" 😂
I play a version of this deck, I play more of a desert subtheme with excavator for the value. It also triggers hour of promise and you can keep saccing and replaying deserts. I play sightly more creatures and two of each cycling desert.
Hey Seth!
Could you please make an upgraded version of this deck that is a bit more competitive. I would love to see this deck work
This is the most fun standard deck I’ve seen in Dominaria. If I played competitive standard I would work on this deck.
You missed the opportunity to play Sylvan Awakening!!
Niall Jr That’s definitely going in when I make my paper version of this deck. I don’t care how many times I lose to red/x aggro, this deck looks fun!
justdude45 you'll be losing a lot then.
Oops!
That was the first card I looked for in his deck tech. Was surprised he didn’t have it.
Paule Patterson Yeah that's the first card I thought of when I heard U/G lands.
>has a million lands and dig for land effects, land gy recursion
>discards non-lands
A one-of Walking Ballista seems like a pretty good upgrade here
I wish it wasn't so expensive :(
MTGGoldfish for sure. The good thing is that with all your card draw, you'd probably be okay playing fewer than 4 copies
I was super happy upon realizing it was Esper control that you drew your other swordtooth. The power of two lands is strong even if it doesn't look like you won't necessarily have the lands immediately and him + multani was back breaking there.
Multani every turn is pretty good.
MTGGoldfish Absolutely, the part that got me though was how much of a hard time they had dealing with him. A Syncopate or Vraska's Contempt would have sucked but you pretty much turned every other answer they had into "discard this card to not die an early and horrible death."
Beautiful.
this deck is amazing
LOOOOL I love you man!!!! So sweet matches to watch! Three Gearhulks run over just like that!
Thanks!
This deck is very sweet, but god, what a pleasure was to watch flaming wizards (which I've got in paper a week ago) crashing through :D Thank you for that lovely burn deck, Seth, although I almost always got either flooded or screwed with it xD
Haven't even finished the tech and this is the first standard deck I've wanted to play since zombies in innistrad (original) haha. Love it. Hope it's atleast half as competitive!!!
"Stunned Silence" as he loudly groans and says oh my God repeatedly.
Made a deck like this but also with Nissa steward and Sylvan awakening. Finally decided there were too many fun cards to play and turned it into a ug lands brawl deck
Great vid. I´ve been playing with a somewhat similar deck ever since dominaria came out, Sultai with 31 lands.
49:00 I like to think Seth got up and ran around the room whilst screaming.
Just had the best ad ever in Jurassic World after you getting stomped to death vs Mono Green Stompy and Ghalta. Thoses T-Rex, dude, thoses T-Rex. :')
22 minutes in: “Mountain, Llanowar Elves” it’s called a forest, Seth 😂😂
22:00 Ah yes, the old "mountain into llanowar elves" opening.
You should make this exact same deck in Arena for Goldfish Gladiators. It’s 3 cards off from being 100% Arena ready, one of which is in the sideboard and the other 2 are lands, and on Thursday it will get even better.
"Its like tricky Galta with reach."
Yes Seth.
Yes it is.
Nezahal is uncounterable, Seth. Why are you slow rolling It in your hand versus Control?
This deck seems really fun! Great video!
Glad you liked it!
Great deck, I built it in Arena and it's a ton of fun especially against mid-range and control. well timed river's rebuke is good against aggro but the deck has no chance against mono-red.
Went up against a turn 6 ghalta with my green white token deck. Next turn I attacked with a 16/16 Shanna Sisay's Legacy thanks to 7 tokens and an appeal/authority! He had to chump block lol! Felt amazing

The largest Multani I have had was 21/21 and it attacked through a kicked Josu Vess for lethal. Almost makes up for the dozens of times I have lost with it.
Sweet!
48:45 if only we can predict the future, double deep freezing the Ghalta would be good
Deck looks good. I'm excited to watch!
I was playing a version of this deck with 4 Ballista as a way to stave off aggro - but I think the way to go is Temur splashing for Hour of Devastation, Abrade and The First Eruption. 1 damage to all creatures plus ramp (and it's easier to splash in a wedge)
Temur splash seems pretty good.
MTGGoldfish definitely want to see what can be done with First Eruption in a ramp deck .D maybe RG ramp but splashing blue for card draw and negate?
Listening to these at halfspeed is my new favorite thing. Hilarious.....
Seth should try playing a deck or two where every card has different art. It'd be a fun deck building challenge plus he can further test the alleged "mtgo scry bug."
Dusk I've tested it. It's just bad luck.
@22:01 "Mountain, Llanowar Elves"
... wat
Richard Price he's a grammar rebel. 😎
Richard Price he's lost it
38:05 On MTGA I played a deck that went T1 Elves, T2 Steel Leaf, T3 Steel Leaf, T4 Ghalta
Oh hey I tried the deck out once. I loved it, but there's just too many exile effects for Multani to be effective.
Awesome deck Seth!
against aggro i find that entrancing melody work pretty well, also ranging raptors or ripjaw raptor
22:00 I never knew that was possible until now. Wonder what the guys at my next modern tournament will think when I mountain llanowar them xD
Since we saw the blossoming defense coming you could have used spire on jadelight instead. So they would have either used BD on jadelight instead of Ghalta or let it go and used BD on Ghalta. Neither of which would have been lethal.
So i got into mtgo because of this deck and I have been having fun just playing this deck
Awesome!
Seth, you've now played modern Lands and standard Lands. HOW have you not played legacy Lands yet? Please Seth, its such an amazing prison-ish land destruction-ish combo-ish value-filled janky tier one deck you NEED to play it!!!!
We need to play more Legacy.
I've been playing a deck just like this on Arena, except I use Sylvan Awakening as a win con
Yeah at 49:02 for sure you block the Ghalta first you're still alive, don't spires first. You survive at 2 life because he can't blossoming defense the Ghalta (chump with Elves on the Jadelight).
I really love this deck though. I'd been working on a sultai version myself but I could never quite get it where I wanted it.
I love these thumbnails.
Seems like Blackblade Reforged would be pretty sweet in this deck. Got the lands and got a few Legendary creatures too for the cheap equip. Seems like Tatyova especially could benefit from the stat boost.
Hey O not if you draw the blackblade and nothing to equip
Might need a few more creatures.
>casts two mind
>"haven't drawn our card draw"
Seth, forgetting 2 minutes ago since 2015
You gameplay commentary is outstanding. You remind me of Mike Erick.
Lands? Standard? Budget? What a world we live in!
49:04 put elves in front of jadelight and the other 3 infront of ghalta take 4 trample and fall to 3 life. Don't know why you scooped unless I'm missing something. Then get to deep freeze and hold up the land again to stall.
Dude this deck is awesome
would love to see you play this in non budget version!
Pretty sure you want Naturalize against the Flame of the Keld/Bomat Courier deck. Not that it would have mattered there.
Blue dino beats! lol
Always nice to see a control deck shut down.
Yo olive you should make an All land deck
Standard Legacy Lands
Bryan Tan how does legacy lands even win?
There's a land that turns into a creature permanently. They kill the opponent by cracking them with it. If they want to make your life miserable, they can also use Grove of the Burnwillows Punishing Fire to 3 mana ping you every turn.
Molten Vortex is in the sideboard.
Bryan Tan that sounds miserable. I want to play it.
Louise Drake if I remember correctly, legacy lands are one of the most expensive deck you can play in that format
Hey Seth, love the videos!
I've been playing my own, non budget version of this deck that has been doing very well for me! Though it does look very different from your list.
If you are interested, I can give you my list to try out on stream or whatever you wish. I went more for the "Turbo fog" route.
Either way I love the idea behind this deck, and Tatyova is the truth. But why no Grow from the ashes?
Keep up the good work!
It should be added to my comment that I have been on my list for about 4-6 weeks. Glad to see someone (or anyone) finally talking about this archetype
What about Nissa Steward/Elements?
i REALLY WANT TO SEE A NON BUDGET VERSION OF THIS PLAYED!!!
I think a turbo land/tatyova deck in modern would be pretty sweet :p
The deck was awesome!!!! You should play in stream a no budget version with karn and nissa vital force. Also is there a way of making it better against aggro?
9:40
Linus Westcott thank you
I love you
game 1 "so opponent is not just dead" opponent at 2 with a nearly empty board against a horde of zombies
I really like this deck. Reminds me of your much abrew UG ramp deck. I noticed you ran some fogs in that deck. Do you think that will make a difference against aggro?
Evolving Wilds would work well here I think
Great deck and fund
43:15 MTG Arena autotap is apparently backwards compatible with MTGO
This deck is sick
So Seth, was there a reason to not run Evolving Wilds for the Ramunap/Swordtooth/Tatyova/Multani value?
Punished for misplay and still came through cool
34:00 I think it would have been better to Negate the Syncopate, Commit the Scarab God and mill them with Rivulet, or at least it was an option
Seth's line has a nice advantage of there are very few cards he cares about (including the in play scarab god really) so Commit denies the opponent a useful draw step.
Sylvan Awakening? Nissa Vital Force for emblem? Pull from Tomorrow?
This deck is great, ramp big creatures, mill, card draw !
It's pretty fun :)
mountain...llanowar elves OMG hilarious hahahahah
Did you think about playing Ghirapur Orrery?
Where's Nissa, Vital Force?
What would be great upgrades for the deck?
i just watched the deck tech and didn't watch the matches yet but how does this deck beat exile effects? :P
i guess ipnu only out at that point?
That mono green matchup would only be lost to exactly blossoming defense, so why activate spires on ghalta if you'd not be dead to that situation? :P pretty obv they had it
Pedro do Valle 48:50 this situation was ripe for the patented Seth “let’s think about this “ moment. The next level play would be triple block ghalta chump jadelight wait for the defense that prolly doesn’t get cast. Go down to 2, next turn deep freeze draw out blossoming defense or pray for rivers rebuke draw, replay multani hope for not third blossoming defense. Go from there
Actually wait in that case Seth would still be dead if opponent let deep freeze resolve and attacked and blossoming defense on the unblocked llanowar elves the following turn. Ghalta inevitability >< so it’s either rivers rebuke or I guess hour of promise chumps
I've been trying to build this deck and in my version i thought kefnrt would be good because of bounce. I think kefnet would be great for this
Was really hoping for a one of blackblade reforged
Nick Steffen only if there's something to equip
I was really hoping to see sylvan awakening:(
Missed opportunity :(
Do you choose what version of the card is used in the intro? It seems weird with the Jace negate and prerelease excavator lol
DrakkonVulture It provably defaults to the latest printing
Yeah, it's default. I can choose the cards, but then I have to choose all of the cards, and they are the right version like 99% of the time so it's usually not worth the effort.
I'm a bit surprised there is no wizard decks in pro tour... Or I missed them..
Match one Game 2 could’ve just milled them out :)
Saffron! Why didn't you double deep freeze Ghalta after seeing the thrashing???? Seriously maaaaan! Punt!
I expected Sylvan Awakening in this deck Seth, is there a specific reason you're not playing it for this build?
30:00 discard an island that strangely looks like a forest
100% against the odds 5c gods next time
I'm working on a modern version of this deck
YES I PLAY THIS ITS GREAT
Seth why did you not use the graveyard Multani's ability to return it to your hand with the last two open lands you had game two, two turns in a row?
