@@shivandragon1651my personal dream is leaving the mana to cast door open in a commander game and taking the game hostage because I can remove a player from the game at instant speed in response to anything I don't like😂
I remember when I first started playing MTG in elementary school, there was one boy who had a Door to Nothingness and a deck built around it, and we all thought it was the coolest and most powerful card in the entire game. There's something about the words "target player loses the game" that just excites the imagination- especially that of a little kid- in ways better and more efficient cards just never could.
'You win' or 'opponent loses' were always the cards people wanted. I remember when I got my hands on a Coalition Victory. _Everyone_ wanted to trade that card with me...
Arena doesn't have problems with amount of cards in hand, the lag is somehow tied to World Trees. Somehow World Trees are fighting how Arena is calculating what you can do with mana and lag the game. The more World Trees you have the worse the game gets.
From what I understand, controlling multiple world trees gives lands multiple "T: add one mana of any color" abilities, and arena really does not like having a lot of permanents with a lot of abilities
Every time I hear Seth mention about going through the door, I think of the game Munchkin. "Would you like to knock down the door?" "Yes" "You encounter a Door to Nothingness. You lost the game."
Munchkin is such a fun game! I could see them adding something like the Door to the game for the lolz. Always remember: NEVER pick up a duck in a dungeon!
I built my own jank version of a door deck with chromatic orrery and trash for treasure, it's pretty fun when you get the turn 5 win with it. Fun to see another way to build the deck
Timeless Lotus and Teferi were surprisingly good at supporting the Door wins. In regards to Freyalise, I don't think it really fits what Legacy elves wants to do since that deck is really focused on Natural Order and wants to play a ton of 1-mana elves for Glimpse of Nature. Modern Elves I could see using Freyalise, though.
So is Amulet of Vigor not int he format Saffron plays? I feel like that would be great with the Lotus & Door although you can't double-tap Lotus like you could with Teferi but fast lands and artifacts sounds fantastic.
As for the lag, from what I have heard, having more than 2 World Tree lands in play can cause a lot of lag. I think because each one is giving all your lands the "tap for any color" ability.
In the first game you can see that Seth wanted to draw an untapped white source off the rev x6 and was concerned about losing to a muxus for lethal without having access to fateful absence, so he played a tapped land, forgetting that it was his 6th land, enabling world tree's mana fixing.

22:58 Seth: "Wow, opponent's deck looks insane!" Have you not been playing much historic? Prior to Brother's war, this deck was almost half my matches in Bo1 on the ladder. Yeah, it's insane. The numbers have come down just a little due to all the new belcher decks in the last couple weeks, but yeah, Izzet aggro is the dominant deck in the format.
@@Cincinnatijames They're annoying, but I think they're taking the place of some of the Mizzex Mastery-Dragonstorm combo decks, which I find so much worse. If my opponent wants to count to seven instead of counting to four, that just gives fair decks a better chance.
This deck is really neat, and I was really surprised how often you got to activate the door. I'm wondering if that means that there is a controlling bant deck that ramps into Koma and Dreamtralwer in historic. Would be a cool throw back to pre-planeswalker control decks.
Ah I remember being a very young magic player and seeing this in the M13 list and thinking it would be the most broken card ever. Come to find out it was originally printed in 5th dawn and did nothing LOL
While we're there, might as well throw in some more classics: Trinisphere, Thorn of Amethyst, Mishra's Workshop... they have the Power 9 coded already, so might as well make it Vintage but with Alchemy cards at this point.
For the +1 on the alchemy planeswalker, instead of the creature in your hand perpetually getting +1/+1,you: choose one either: exile an elf card face down from your hand and put a growth counter on it, or put a growth counter on a card exiled face down with it. Elves you control have +1/+1 for each growth counter on them, and your maximum hand size is reduced by 1 for each card exiled with it.
Would them animating the Hall actually "counter" Boseiju? I don't think it would, because Ward is a triggered ability *when* it becomes the target of something, and since the Boseiju is already targeting Hall, I don't think Ward would trigger if they animated it afterward.
True, Ward is a triggered ability thus wouldn't trigger since it's already been targeted. Per the Gatherer rulings: "If an opponent casts a spell or ability that targets Hall of Storm Giants, and you activate the last ability in response, the ward ability Hall of Storm Giants gains won't trigger. (However, if it already had ward at the moment it became the target of the spell or ability, that instance of ward would trigger.)"
Loved your historic prison deck from awhile back would love to see a more traditional stax or taxes list for historic or just any historic content personally think format has a lot of brewing potential

I made a Triumphant Reckoning/Mizzix's Mastery reanimator deck using Ramos Dragon Engine, Door to Nothingness as the wincon, Sphinx of the Guildpact, and Release to the Wind. Play all of the jeskai loot spells, get everything into the graveyard, play Mizzix's targeting Triumphant Reckoning, then untap and bounce the Sphinx with Release to the Wind. You get 5 counters on the Ramos Dragon Engine, then immediately use the double WUBRG mana on Door. Turn 5 ultimate jank win 😎😎😎😎😎

I think Freyalise could probably be handled on a less uhh absurd levels of pump way with like +1: Place a +1/1 Counter on an Elf, if a Freyalise's Emblem is not in play, create one that reads "When an Elf enters the battlefield, remove one counter, if you do, give the Elf a +1/1 Counter", and then place one counter on a Freyalise's Emblem you control -1: Reveal Cards from the top till you reveal an Elf, add it to the hand and put the other reveal cards on the bottom in a random order -6: Create a Token named "Regal Force" with types stats abilities etc etc I don't know the exact syntax that'd be used, and Emblems always get wordy, but I feel like, while it doesn't give you the absurd "I play a 4/4 Elf" pump that buffing cards perpetually does, it does recreate the "buff Elves that have not yet arrived" energy Aside from that, Reveal dig obviously provides info Seek doesn't, and a Regal Force Token just vanishs rather than hitting GY/Exile I figure using an Emblem would make more sense than putting counters on Freyalise because A: As a Planeswalker she already hosts Loyalty Counters, and B: It means the buffs will still be in play even if she gets removed, which fits the spirit C: Just cause its funny it makes it a proliferate target I'm pretty sure Oh and D: Making it a single Emblem that uses counters, rather than multiple emblems that self-sac as part of the trigger, means it buffs many elves instead of mega-roiding a single elf
About Freyalise and historic cards : I would really like to see some tournaments/matches with paper cards and proxys historic cards to see how all this digital only mechanics could work in paper
In match 4, you don't need to worry about them turning on Hall of the Storm Giants. If you've already targeted it, making it a creature won't suddenly trigger ward. By that point it's too late.
I've been playing around with Door to Nothingness. Currently, I'm trying to work out using Jegantha (Along with Karn, Chromatic Orrery and Paradox Engine).
Try this deck on for size: Drannith Magistrate X2 Greater Auramancy X2 Ossification X2 Strict Proctor X2 Destiny Spinner X2 Damping Sphere X4 (can be replaced with anything else, it's just nice to have on opening draw if you don't have rule of law) Minimus Containment X2 Phyrexian Unlife X2 Solemnity X2 Rule of Law X2 Ground Seal X2 Linvala, Keeper of Silence X1 Shalai, Voice of Plenty X2 Defense of the Heart X2 (or without damping sphere X3 or 4 as it is an important card) Cosmos Elixir X2 The Immortal Sun X1 Approach of the Second Sun X2 (if all else fails, it's a back up plan) Avacyn, Angel of Hope X1 Mana base can be anything, but you can use 4 Lotus field thanks to strict proctor. Main idea of this deck is to prevent your opponent from being able to do literally anything. Main weaknesses of the deck are sacrifice and exile cards. You can add something to give Shalai hexproof so she can't be targeted by any removal as well, but I like to have her exposed to at least give my opponent a chance. The deck is kind of slow as well, but all around when you start putting cards down, especially when you get Avacyn, Shalai, and Greater Auramancy onto the field, your opponent is going to scopp 9/10. This deck is especially effective against tribal/aggresive decks/removal heavy decks. Approach of the second sun is a nice alternative win condition if all else fails.
"To support the Belcher plan, you do need to have all MDFCs"... This isn't technically true, but the Mana Severance → Belcher line doesn't work nearly as well. :p (I would actually love to see a Boros Belcher deck for Against the Odds at some point, using Endless Horizons to exile all of the Plains in your library before the kill.)
If you think about it, Door to Nothingness is really just a Belcher that asks for a little more mana (just a smidge) in exchange for letting you run real lands and normal ramp.
I like the fifth dawn door to nothingness best, i had a door to nothingness deck back in the day but i was a poor teenager and only had two of them, but it was still a fun deck, i pretty much only played it in group games.
They could do Perpetually with stickers. Since those are now mechanics I think this is the best way that the Perpetually mechanic could work in paper based on what they have already introduced.
seth, game 2 against Phoenix you said "we cant boseiju hall bc of ward" but you can. you boseiju target the hall, then they activate in response but it doesnt matter because ward says "becomes the target" but boseiju already declared it a legal target, ward wouldn't trigger.
Seth during spoiler season : "I feel like this card requires too much setup to ever be really good" Seth during against the odds: "we only need to set up these 4 cards that each cost 5+ mana and for our opponent to not have any interactions across these 3 different card types and it's an easy win."
16:43 they needed to attack with the goblin to get the treasure but could only cast the belcher on Chandra activation - it's not 'may cast until end of turn'
They could have still cast it, swung in with the goblin for the treasure, and then activated it. As much as it might feel like it sometimes, you don't have to pay all 7 mana at once. :p
Re: paper Freyalise: Garth one-eye creates copies of cards like Shivan Dragon, so I don't know why you couldn't have a paper planeswalker that makes a copy of a creature card that becomes a token.
My favorite Door deck is the deck that gives the opponent the door, and then forces them to willingly use the door on themselves, resetting the boardstate if they don't choose right. It's so evil.
I got a game in, just now. It was a little laggy, though. Also, does anyone know if MMR carries into mythic? I hit a lucky streak and got to top 100, but keep getting paired with plat/diamond players.
38:19 That's not correct. Ward works differently than hexproof because it's a trigger on target rather than making target invalid. So turning on the Hall after it gets targeted by Boseiju wouldn't create a counter-unless-you-pay trigger.
I need to see you tackle Arcane Bombardment SaffronOlive I love that enchantment and I got UR deck built around it and effects like it, but I would love to see a more pro player tackle it.

According to Maro, the original rule text on Door was going to be "Destroy target player", but he couldn't get that wording past the rules manager 😂
Well it would imply that players are permanents in a round about way which yeah is not good.
The only way we managed to get that on an official magic card was Baron Von Count lol
Player removal is the best removal
@@shivandragon1651my personal dream is leaving the mana to cast door open in a commander game and taking the game hostage because I can remove a player from the game at instant speed in response to anything I don't like😂
Shoulda just been "Remove target player from the game"
Exiling doesn't assume a target is a Permanent, and its textually accurate to its behavior
I really think that all alternative win cons on Arena really need animations to set them out from regular old wins.
Agreed!
Yeah, Maze's End is so boring. Just looks like they concede.
Master duel does that and its beautiful
I really wanna see their avatar fly through a door to nothingness
Oh man, that's such a good idea. Just imagine a giant black hole door sucking in all their cards and pet and avatar... WotC please!

-1: Reveal Cards from the top till you reveal an Elf, add it to the hand and put the other reveal cards on the bottom in a random order
-6: Create a Token named "Regal Force" with types stats abilities etc etc
I don't know the exact syntax that'd be used, and Emblems always get wordy, but I feel like, while it doesn't give you the absurd "I play a 4/4 Elf" pump that buffing cards perpetually does, it does recreate the "buff Elves that have not yet arrived" energy
Aside from that, Reveal dig obviously provides info Seek doesn't, and a Regal Force Token just vanishs rather than hitting GY/Exile
I figure using an Emblem would make more sense than putting counters on Freyalise because A: As a Planeswalker she already hosts Loyalty Counters, and B: It means the buffs will still be in play even if she gets removed, which fits the spirit
C: Just cause its funny it makes it a proliferate target I'm pretty sure

Seth during against the odds: "we only need to set up these 4 cards that each cost 5+ mana and for our opponent to not have any interactions across these 3 different card types and it's an easy win."
This would be a fun historic match vs Maze’s end. Both ramp and want to rush to 10 lands and then just win.
Seth out here literally sending fools to the shadow realm
I use Myr's with Door to Nothingness. I call it 'Myr to Nothingness'. I love my artifact deck.
I've been playing this with Ramos in brawl. Been so much fun
38:19 Ward triggers when a permanent becomes targeted, so if a permanent gains ward after it's been targeted, ward won't trigger.
So, to explain, cards that were NERFED for ALCHEMY revert back to normal after rotation. Any BUFFS, no matter what, stay.
16:43 they needed to attack with the goblin to get the treasure but could only cast the belcher on Chandra activation - it's not 'may cast until end of turn'
They could have still cast it, swung in with the goblin for the treasure, and then activated it. As much as it might feel like it sometimes, you don't have to pay all 7 mana at once. :p
Its criminal that Hodor wasnt the thumbnail
MY FAVORITE CARD IS BACK BABY!
Re: paper Freyalise: Garth one-eye creates copies of cards like Shivan Dragon, so I don't know why you couldn't have a paper planeswalker that makes a copy of a creature card that becomes a token.
This was the first single I ever bought. I thought it was the most OP card ever. Turns out I was right
My favorite Door deck is the deck that gives the opponent the door, and then forces them to willingly use the door on themselves, resetting the boardstate if they don't choose right.
It's so evil.
This is the sort of Magic I want to watch
Why Prismatic omen or Upwelling aren't there?
Wish I could play arena
What happened to it? I tried to play earlier but it didn’t let me enter matchmaking.
I got a game in, just now.
It was a little laggy, though.
Also, does anyone know if MMR carries into mythic?
I hit a lucky streak and got to top 100, but keep getting paired with plat/diamond players.
@@brushwagg7735 mmr is always there
@@dylanchannell2531 if I run as administrator it works, if I run it normally it just gets stuck on the loading screen
38:19 That's not correct. Ward works differently than hexproof because it's a trigger on target rather than making target invalid. So turning on the Hall after it gets targeted by Boseiju wouldn't create a counter-unless-you-pay trigger.
I need to see you tackle Arcane Bombardment SaffronOlive I love that enchantment and I got UR deck built around it and effects like it, but I would love to see a more pro player tackle it.
In today's against the odds, can bant control avoid winning with manlands?
Its got elements of bant control, but its more than just control: its got that ramp package, and that really changes how the deck is played.
Seth turned into Hodor against Phoenix in match 4 "hold the door"
I build a Door deck around defenders using Axebane Guardians. Cheap walls(Fog bank is surprisingly OP) then clone Axebane a few times. Soo much mana.
Can you play Door to nothing less again in modern in 2024?
This was a fun deck!
I know I'm late to this video but I'm always shocked that Seth doesn't have the Yargle Explore variant lol
What about amulet of vigor? Is that not legal in historic?
wow I wasn't ready for The Fugs in a Magic video
