True but the deck has one glaring weakness since it is mono red: No enchantment removal whatsoever. Why is this bad? Well, having no answers to cards like Ghostly Prison, Solemnity/Phyrexian Unlife or Sphere of Safety can just mean the game. Leyline of Sanctity is even worse because all those ETB damage effects are NOT may-abilities meaning Seth will have to either shoot himself the face or roast his own dragons. I would already splash green or white for that reason alone.
BrewBrewBrewTheDeck I think if you are having that much of a problem with enchantments in your meta but still insisted on playing the deck you could run jank like aura barbs or splash green for destructive revelry and back to nature. There are also some decent green red dragons should you choose to do so.
I think Cavern of Souls isn't just in there for control matchups, but if you have a Chalice on 1 and no Blood Moon out, you can cast Slumbering Dragon through your own Chalice.
He should add another land though if he does. I played it a bit today and the times I had to mulligan because I had too few mana sources in hand was insane. Reliably dropping four and five drops with only 22 lands is not gonna work, Harambe and Ritual or no. One-landers don't cut it even with those two in hand and at 22 lands you're bound to have a lot of those.
Louise Drake Popeye Stompy was a supposed legacy deck made possible by cards from Ixalan that the brewers were allegedly playing on magic online and dropping at 4-0 so the list wouldn't be published, causing a lot of people (possibly including Seth) to try and figure out what the deck actually was. But it was just an elaborate hoax (though I've heard people have actually built the deck, no idea how good it is, if so).
One of my very first modern brews was a dragon deck very similar to this one. Although it isn't the most competitive deck by far, I always found myself revisiting and experimenting with it. When all the pieces fall into place, it wreaks havoc. Problem is getting dragon tempest on the BF early. I strongly suggest trying to incorporate Dragonlord's Servant. Let's you cast a thunderbreak regent on turn 3. Dragon Egg also had a nice synergy with this deck, when it dies it spawns another dragon that triggers dragon tempest. never tried blood moon in this deck... I'll have to playtest that. Also maybe consider fire-belly changeling or dragon hatchling? Archwing Dragon you can cast every turn, triggering tempest. And with dragonlord's servant it can get ridiculously cheap.the five mana dragons usually dont work for me in this deck. Too slow. (except for scourge of valkas of course)I would love to see this deck in action!!! 😀
Hey Seth, when you do your video deck lists, is it possible for you to list the price of each card when you talk about each individual cards? Just slipping the price per card next to the number in the deck would be great for us budget brewers that want to know where to cut prices!
Hey Seth! I'd love to see a Brewer's Minute on when the right time to use Blood Moon vs Blood Sun is? Do you think it'll be like Inquisition/Thoughtseize as a 3and3 or do you think they'll just be similar effects in different games?
I play a deck very similar to this except I don't run chalice or draconic roar and blood moon is a sideboard option. I'd love to see this played by a more experienced player, such as you.
Bryan T No, it's turning into that time I finally got a full boat of Lilly OTV so she went into every goddamn deck I played. AS format-warping as Seth can be he is not the meta.
It looks sweet, but I dont like the one drop dragon. It clashes badly with chalice, and getting more than a bolt or a four damage spell requires work, and more dragons. I mean dragon hatchling is a 0/1 flyier with fire-breathing for 1R and already seems better. Its slightly more fragile, but it can attack and fireball someone in the game, especially if drawn late with tempest on the field, and since it cost two, its not a nombo with the chalice. Please play this deck, but please, please consider swapping the slumbering for the hatchling, I don't see literally any situation where the slumbering is better (maybe if casted turn 1 vs a go wide hand of affinity?). . I know you play the much abrew decks as they are, but we both know that you will end up with a chalice in play and a hand full of sad slumbering dragons.
he doesn't change decklists, period. it's because he wants to give viewers an accurate impression of what the deck shown in the deck tech would play like... for better or worse.
I know that. It just that much abrew is least favorite series because most of the time the decks are cool, but unoptimal, and end up losing to things like sucky manabases, or getting stuck with bad cards in the hand. I just dont personally enjoy the missed potential and we all know that the one drop dragon sucks hard
Thanks for pointing that out, however, personally, I still think that the hatchling is better for being able to attack and fireball people, while still being a very cheap way to trigger the tempest.
Went to the site i found it on 2 years ago and its gone :( theres a bunch of others, but this is my best recollection 4x slumbering dragon 4x dragon hatchling 4x dragon egg 4x thunderbreak regent 4x scourge of valkas 20 creatures 4x dragon tempest 2x elixir of imortality 6 enchant/artifacts 4x arc lightning 4x(?) flamebreak 4x(?) draconic roar 12 instant/sorceries 4x haven of the spirit dragon The rest mountains. I might have missed something, but thats the deck. I never bought the sideboard, thats where all the expensive cards where, but this was a decent (budget) modern deck a couple years ago
See, now why aren't we playing Ghost Quarter in this deck? Why is it that Seth only wants to play GQ in 3+ color decks with 8 drops where he won't use it because he's always digging for more land!? *begins autistic screeching
If you guys wanna see it played, go buy it then play it. It hurts my heart to see Seth get roflstomped by T1 decks when he runs these janks cause you all demand it...
Seth: *Sees Blood Moon*
Seth: Oh baby...
Seth: *Sees small Japanese Tournament*
Seth: Oh dear lord, yes...

Why are you guys analyzing the deck? I said this to be funny....jeesh
BrewBrewBrewTheDeck It could play Engineered Explosives - we saw how well that worked against Seth and his solemnity deck, heh.
I’d like to see this played based solely on the fact I love dragons. That’s a good reason, right Seth? Lol
Dragon's Claw; the flavour is on point
I think Cavern of Souls isn't just in there for control matchups, but if you have a Chalice on 1 and no Blood Moon out, you can cast Slumbering Dragon through your own Chalice.
Good call!
Cavern of Souls gets Slumbering Dragon through Chalice.
a deck that's not just an amalgam of random staples is always cool to see in action
i wanna see you go 0-5 with this deck so bad
Saint Jahn you mean 5-0? 🧐
Shadow Titan thats getting a bit optimistic dont ya think
A deck with Chalice, Blood Moon and efficient finishers is not gonna be a bad deck, Blood Moon is so good right now
Turn 2 no less
Turn 1
Looks sweet. Really wanna see how it plays.
Japanese Engineering never ceases to amaze me
This I HAVE to see played.
He should add another land though if he does. I played it a bit today and the times I had to mulligan because I had too few mana sources in hand was insane.

I WANT TO SEEEEEE DIS
I would love to know if there is a japanese YT guy who talks as enthusiastically about small western tournaments..
but i digress, Play this Jank!
"Coming to us today from the i~nfamous small American tournament, it's Esper Solemnity by SaffronOlive."
Its almost just Free Win Dragons, looks pretty rad
Except it plays 8 lands that doesn't function under blood moon which is kinda silly.
RPGLover true, although there isn't really any opportunity cost to playing them since we are a-ok with mountains instead under a moon
Yaaaas! All the dragons! Would love to see a black splash for Kolaghan, the Storm's Fury.
This please! I love dragons and you love blood moons and chalice of the void. It's perfect
Finally Slumbering Dragon in Modern. Ive waited so long for it! here comes in my 4 copies
ALWAYS YES TO DRAGONS!!!
I've never wanted a deck to be played for my personal enjoyment more.
Why Against the Odds when you could Dragainst the Odds?
Awful. Bravo.
Dragon yes please
But how well does it matchup against Popeye Stompy?
Wrong format, but popeye wreck everything, thats common knowledge
AmphiDsf what's popeye?
The best deck in every format.
AmphiDsf i think they banned every card in the last annoucement tho, even island

Play this deck!
Yup, play this deck - so flavor and fun lookin
PLEASE ALWAYS DO AGAINST THE ODDS WITH DRAGON DECKS!!!!!!!

I would enjoy watching this deck being played.

I feel like this deck could use a couple Sarkhan's Triumph to fetch a Dragon you need atm at Instant Speed, but other than that, looks good
play it!
Hey Seth! I'd love to see a Brewer's Minute on when the right time to use Blood Moon vs Blood Sun is? Do you think it'll be like Inquisition/Thoughtseize as a 3and3 or do you think they'll just be similar effects in different games?
You've got to show this deck in action!
I loooooove dragons
Dragon Flappy!
Dragon Swoopy :3
That sweet sweet Dragon's Claw flavor....mmmmm
You should do a prediction vide for best decks of Rivals standard
I want an Against The Odds with this deck!
This deck is awesome I love dragons! Please play this deck Seth :D
This one on the Tuesday stream, Seth?
This makes me wanna make a green red dragon deck.
I play a deck very similar to this except I don't run chalice or draconic roar and blood moon is a sideboard option. I'd love to see this played by a more experienced player, such as you.
Let’s see it in action

4 blood moons, what a shocker. This card is turning into force of will for modern.
Bryan T
Dont forget its little brother coming soon, Blood Sun, which is Blood Moon Lite
Bryan T
No, it's turning into that time I finally got a full boat of Lilly OTV so she went into every goddamn deck I played. AS format-warping as Seth can be he is not the meta.
I'm sooooo building this.

Cavern of Souls gets Slumbering Dragon through Chalice. It's not a perfect solution, but it's not as bad a clash as it looks.
Thanks for pointing that out, however, personally, I still think that the hatchling is better for being able to attack and fireball people, while still being a very cheap way to trigger the tempest.
Oh man play this one please.
I want to see this played
What do we do when we wander in the wilds? We keep an eye towards the skies...

Slumbering Dragon seems bad with Chalice, and just pretty bad in general.
I’m a simple man.
I see deck price.
I exit the video.
Noah Munoz Cooper theres a $40 dollar version
DragonJo link?
Went to the site i found it on 2 years ago and its gone :( theres a bunch of others, but this is my best recollection
4x slumbering dragon
4x dragon hatchling
4x dragon egg
4x thunderbreak regent
4x scourge of valkas
20 creatures
4x dragon tempest
2x elixir of imortality
6 enchant/artifacts
4x arc lightning
4x(?) flamebreak
4x(?) draconic roar
12 instant/sorceries
4x haven of the spirit dragon
The rest mountains. I might have missed something, but thats the deck. I never bought the sideboard, thats where all the expensive cards where, but this was a decent (budget) modern deck a couple years ago
Ahhh, just another blood moon + chalice + any win con (doesn't really metter) deck :(
PLAY PLAY PLAY PLAY!
STOMP STOMP
It's not dragon stompy without sols lands :(

another deck completely carried by blood moon
wafflecopter208 it's seth, what do you expect?
And Chalice.
Atheist Weeaboo Edgelord ramunap red
This
Looks fun but Slumbering Dragon can't be worth it. Even without Chalice in the deck it looks terrible.
See, now why aren't we playing Ghost Quarter in this deck? Why is it that Seth only wants to play GQ in 3+ color decks with 8 drops where he won't use it because he's always digging for more land!?
*begins autistic screeching
If you guys wanna see it played, go buy it then play it. It hurts my heart to see Seth get roflstomped by T1 decks when he runs these janks cause you all demand it...
play it!
play it
