Two weeks ago -
Seth: Five-color unpredictable sharknado ultimatums.
Opponent: Mountain.
Seth: Well, we're dead.
This week -
Seth: Five-color Death's Oasis combo.
Opponent: Mountain.
Seth: Instant regret.
Five-color piles usually aren't great against Mono-Red :)
Moral of the story? Seth needs to stop playing commander style decks
How about mono mass heal/ remouval 5c control?
@@unfriendlycobra1878 I mean companions say he just need to play commander better.
@@MTGGoldfish I remember at the beginning of against the odds when it was opponent plays Island it was well we are never going to resolve a spell. Now it's mountain we will be dead before we resolve a spell
"the cool part is that we dont even have to rush this unmoored ego since zenith flare is effective only in the lategame"
.... but the dispute was lurking
I DIE! I LIVE! I DIE AGAIN!
-these titans when mothra is out
I'm not sure why this got me but I snortlaughed. well-played.

My mans said fires of reclamation, what sweet hell has he imagined?
The reason media is edited is to facilitate the story being told. Whether to enhance a mood, highlight important details, organize the flow of information, or otherwise help to ensure that the story is effectively passed from the one telling it to those watching it.
Goldfish videos in the past have demonstrated a kind of mastery of the very basics of editing by having a heavy focus on structural editing (scene to scene) and a light touch with momentary editing (action to action.) While this minimalist approach could hypothetically be criticized, it perfectly facilitated the narrative arc of goldfish videos:
[Sponsor](Transition)[Can we win with this silly deck?][Let's find out!](transition)[Gameplay videos, interspersed with transitions between games, sideboarding, and matches](Transition)[Wrap-up](Transition)[UA-cam "Call to Action"].
What purpose does the preview video at the beginning of a video serve? Is it a commercial? Because I already clicked on the video. Is it to let me know that you pull off the crazy combo? Because I don't even know what that combo is at this point in the video. Is it to elevate the stakes? Because the stakes haven't even been established yet. Is it to make the viewer feel more involved? Because it's kind of alienating and immersion breaking.
Cuts should be deliberate, informed, and purposeful. More editing isn't always better editing.
If you're married to the idea of preview clips, might I recommend instead isolating them into their own video and uploading them independently as commercials for upcoming videos?
At the end of the day, I'm glad that everyone at Goldfish is working hard to keep improving the quality of your work. Which is why I'm not at all upset that the preview segments exist. However it is important to me that you understand that many viewers consider them a step backwards if the goal is improving the quality of your videos.
I promise I'm still a fan, Good luck and have fun!
I've on more than one occasion clicked off a video because of the preview. It's like a car sales man that has already made a sale but keeps talking and ends up losing the sale and having the customer walk away.
@@miragegaming984 You're not alone there.
@@miragegaming984 Yep, same here.
I wonder if there are macro audience retention reasons for the preview. Maybe he's seeing large drops early in the videos and this is supposed to help?
At the end of the day for this kind of tuning, data is king. And in the youtube dashboard he has access to see the real macro effect including the preview has on video retention (instead of just guessing).
get used to the new youtube meta then
I honestly love how honest and grindy this deck is
Hey Saffron. I love your videos! I don't usually comment or go to the streams because I have such a busy school schedule. But whenever I need to chill out I put your streams/vids on in the background. I hope all is well and that you know how many times hearing your intro has absolutely made my day!
Same.
Thanks for the kind words :)
"We haven't seen anything" - proceeds to bring in Unmoored Ego. Never change Seth
Sometimes you just have to Crim it :)
you're the brew master Seth! this is a Against the Odds gem!
Thanks :)
Honestly surprised there isn't a single copy of Thassa's Oracle just incase you end up milling yourself by accident.
Might be worth it :)
This was actually a pretty sweet watch. That last game was a nail-biter.
One of my favourite Against the Odds decks in a while!
As the winota player, I had the turn 4 set up first game with raise and winota in first game but never drew the white source and didn't want to give deck away. 3rd game. I drew so many lands at the end of game after i stabilized with the agents and probably should not of took the 6 from uro cause kraxos eventually got me before i could used my newly stolen giants since i only had lands to discard. It was a great game 3 though after the first 2 games were fast
The cycling deck has some wierd sideboard tech that was surpisingly effective... cage that locks his own companion (which is not that big of a deal, but still weird) and dispute against the 5 colour pile...wasn't uro the only blue card he saw game one? actually, maybe the only blue card in the deck game one, seems weird to bring dispute in, it's not even that good to counter uro if he doesn't have the cage. Maybe opponent was 500iq expecting the ego...
i think since it's got so many uncastable cards and digs through the deck so much, there's not really as much cost for boarding stuff in
Silver league
"Fires of reclamation" .... shudders
0:15 to skip spoiler preview.
This is the sweet sweet remedy to the boring meta game grind that us spicy mtg brewers need. Love the content!
As obvious as it seems to put a few Death's Oasis in a cat-oven style deck, it's something I haven't seen yet. And something I really wanna see played with. Hopefully a future non-against-the-odds deck!
Nuthouse01 sadly, death's oasis means giving up Lurrus, and I don't think it's worth it
and another meme is born. your stuff has been pretty awesome this season, seth.
"I'm not doing Cauldron Familiar and witches oven because people have seen enough of those."
20 seconds later "so we're running Kroxa and Uro..."
David Provencher 😜😜😜
No Companion???!!!! Seth, I know this is Against the odds, but still.
The deck almost wants Yorion just for the excuse to run eighty cards and not mill out by accident lol
“Five color mistakes from the last three sets”
Oh no, it lacks fires, so there is more room for degeneracy
Hahahaha
Well said. Thank you Play Design team. Doing great!
I actually think, compared to Fires and Companions, Escape cards are pretty fair but powerful.
@@PhoenixXZY Saying there are more degenerate cards does not mean that these cards were not mistakes
I know this is a crazy 5 colour pile, but is it really against the odds when you're playing some of the most impactful cards in standard?
Still a great deck, love the Mothra-Titan interactions.
I honestly would say yes, it isn't Fires spam land\trigger off. Against the odds be like T2\3 decks or spinoffs from T1 decks (as far as I can tell).
Fiend Artisan is a repeatable GSZ not a Birthing Pod.
That's probably a better comparison. Good call.
Better. Digs out non-green creatures
I swear I dont think monored ever doesnt have embercleave
Or Anax.
They always have it :)
NICE DECK. Against the odds IS muy favourite part of the week
I always wonder at what point does your opponent realize they're getting against the odds'd.
This deck and the one Crim played with in modern where you can't put counters on creatures. I love the moth-kroxa interaction!
Nothing is more annoying in current standard than Agent of Treachery. So happy to see you steal that match against the Winota deck!
After getting hit by something like four Agent of Treachery!
Think Plaguecrafter could find a home in a deck like this? Another self-saccing creature for Luminous Broodmoth.
Seth, love your content, I just wanted to say you make my day!
Thanks :)
As a mono-red player, I can assure you that we are not gone
Lakotah Myall-Laqua 😜😜😜
There's just something so satisfying about watching Fires lose. Good job Seth!
I think this is the coolest deck you've played in recent standard thus far!
Next you should go up against the Modern meta with free win red or some kind of prison deck
Tbh lol
10:30 Against the Odds: Goose tribal
Mono Red aggro is very much still a deck. Especially when you are trying to play some semi budget interesting decks. My mardu humans list sees it a lot as does my Rakdos Obosh Burn.
I hadn't as much fun in standard since ravnica. And this set is way more explosive as well.
Glad your enjoying it!
This was just so much fun seth!
Thanks!
I honestly doubt the opponent was slow-rolling the zenith flare at 23:20. It seems much more likely that they didn't have the zenith flare in hand and they were cycling cards hoping to draw into it.
So how much consistency does this deck lose if we make it a Yorion deck? The current gameplan stays exactly the same, just with even more toys to reanimate and use, as well as more lands to fix the five color situation? Also helps stop the deck from milling out.
Hi Seth, this is your daily request to remove the preview at the beginning because it just spoils the video :P
I was sooo happy that you won against Winota
WotC: We don't think it's smart to print Fetch's into Standard since everyone will just start playing 4C goodstuff.
WotC also: Lets print a set of Tri Lands, 1 Fetch Land, Shock Lands, and more than one playset of mana dorks that produce WUBRG mana colors into Standard.
It isn't actually easy or smart to be playing more than 3 colour decks right now except if you are playing Fires. Then all bets are off and you play whatever the hell you want.
This is a fun budget deck I see.
Super hyped for when amonkhet block gets added to arena historic and the Solemnity + Broodmoth combo is viable
im not a great deck builder so it would be good if we got a video about how to build manabases with our current mana for 3 colors and 4 color decks.
I can't help but notice the name of the deck is TitanOasis60. Does that imply there's a 80 card version of this deck?
I’m sure it’s probably been mentioned or thought of, but what about a janky pioneer version that runs Solemnity? Would that make the Broodmoth/Kroxa combo go infinite?
Top tier jank, Saffron!!!
Is Elspeth Conquers Death essential enough to not make this a Jegantha deck? Seems like a godsend for this mana base
You could have used Elspeth Conquers Death to exile the Chandra since it had a mana cost higher than 3. That would have helped you avoid all those emblems.
I wasn't especially worried about the emblems since we had lifegain from Uro, but Chandra would still be worth getting rid of it we had the opportunity. It is a strong card.
oh cool, death's oasis. maybe it's budget......
....well i definitely can't afford this deck. any budget alternatives for the titans or broodmoths?
If I was sitting across Seth and he was laughing like that while stomping me I’d either be seething or completely demoralized
I main deck Graftdiggers cage because there are too many decks in standard that ae alll about bringning creatures from the deck and gy. Once they see the artifact, they usually surrend.
I hope someone finds a way to make this a top tier deck cause PT Ikoria would be wild
Cool deck
Isn’t the Broodmoth just a panharmonicon with the Theros titans? Is that why he like playing with it so much?
I have very huge problem with spotting diffrence between triome. Any advice?
Personally I think it's probably always better to get rid of Agent with Unmoored ego.
In a Winota deck they really only run agents, winota and charming prince as their humans which means if you rip Agent not only do they lose their payoff, they lose over a third of their humans which means they're more likely to whiff. Plus even if they get winota down, they can't really increase their board that much as you can't have more than 1 winota and charming prince is only a 2/2 scry 2.
Not to mention if you don't remove Agent, they can always just hard cast him at 7 mana or even just reanimate him with Elspeth conquers death.
What I personally name against certain decks:
Winota/Lukka: Agent
Gyruda: Spark Double
Fires: Fires
Cycling: Zenith flare
Yeah, maybe Agent of Treachery would be a better target. I think there is some risky that they just overwhelm us by going wide with random dorks, but Agent is their scariest card for sure, and then can cast it eventually even without Winota.
Maybe "deputy of detention" in the side board? seems worth it
Would love to have both decks in real life the first match I loved the token decks I'll like to have a card list of it or a link
10:19 Oomf missed opportunity to say "the goose is loose"
How do you have all the alternate arts for the new cards already????
That Leyland would have been a higher priority for me than Seth tp put out
great deck
Thanks!
I wonder if hushbringer in the board would be good for cat oven/yarion. You just take out the oasis and go into 4 color titans
5 color rather lol
Where's our modern? Did I read your poll wrong last time?, I thought it said as we explore modern.
I love this. I'm burning the wildcards to make a version of it.
This deck is sweet.
Did i miss something why did he not play uro to get the land and life to set up for masaccer girl when he played mono red
first!
Game start on 6:15
thinking about kroxa & luminos, combine that with gravity sphere and youd have a fun commander otk in mardu :3c
(also the gravity sphere protects broodmoth as well so the combos pretty reselient)
Seth is starting to borrow phrases from Crim (clutch). What's next? Seth reffering to cards as "the truth"? :D
Just jam mythics until the deck works. Why not.
Mythics: The Gathering
Money: The Spending
Arena: Free
How often did the player that played first win?
Need more Dryad of Ilysian Grove for mana fixing and ramp
YEYEYEYE HYPE I love death's oasis. I hope to see Offspring's revenge and Titan's nest soon ;)
Great!
Noooooo I was working on this brew last night. Sob.
I don't think mono red will ever go away
Most people have resorted to playing 27+ lands cause of the shuffler.
The broodmoth kroxa jank is sweet!
Would it be correct to run 3 Death's Oasis since you don't really want to draw multiples in a game?
Drawing multiples isn't the end of the world. Having two going for a couple of turns is powerful and then we can always sacrifice them.
only 737 dollar.... very much aimed for the common player ;)
It's not budget, that's for sure :)
@@MTGGoldfish omg senpai noticed me.... First time in 12 years of youtube the content creation answered
Anyone else hear it? “Fires of Reclamation?” Lol
I wanna build Mardu KroThra now, fiend artisan, kroxa, broodmoth, hmm....
OP learns a valuable lesson about state-based actions at 50:57
Did you get the wrong timestamp? Not seeing anything about SBAs
@@Ahayzo Yeah, my mistake, it's the double strike from Embercleave that lets Artisan survive. Still should've ordered Massacre Girl first, given they knew they were going to cast it.
Pure spice this vid!!!
Hey Seth, do you see that "Resolve All" option...smh I could see if you were going to respond to the stack but you never do so why not just....oh nvm, who am I kidding, it's Seth, he always punts and is sometimes cringe lol oh well
I usually unmoored ego the agent that way winota only has a couple hits that arent that scary
I love how weird this deck is
"Dess Oasis"
23:30 you we're really punished for not play the hate early while you could. Leyline or Ego could won you the game if you just played it early.
$737 for a *STANDARD* deck?
H A R D
P A S S
Day 1 of asking the little intro part before the deck tech to be removed
This deck seems like it is missing yorion
Rule 1 for standard is that every matchup in bo3 has to be a yorion mirror
Yeah, I had Yorion initially, but it's sort of awkward for Against the Odds since you draw the winning card less often.
Just another remove preview vote
What did you do with UA-cam ads? there was five ad breaks in the first match alone.
I legit went to the comments only to see if someone else noticed this
Ugh. That's not good. UA-cam just did a big update where the default is that they automatically put ads into the videos. I'll turn that feature off.
34:33 CAW CAW; CAW CAW; CAW CAW
No Titans Nest?
It's tough. Death's Oasis doesn't really want us to exile creatures from the graveyard and Uro and Kroxa both need cards to exile sometimes, so I'm not sure we have enough graveyard fuel for Titan's Nest.
