I think the opponent scooped in Match 3 because you had two flipped fables and the ability to put 10 power on the board on their end step and they likely had no answer to that.
Disdainful stroke was so bad out of the sideboard. The only thing you really care about countering at >=4 against these BRx decks is invoke, which can be handled by a negate (which ends up being more flexible for other things like bankbuster, reflections, etc).
In Match 2 at 10:40 you could have wrathed the whole board and survived by playing the second Mightstone, target the spiritualist and then Brothers end... The spiritualist dies because he gets 3 dmg and less thoughness as less enchantments on the Battlefield 🙈🙈🙈 You could have won easily🗿
This deck is super sweet! I played a straight blue-red version for awhile, then shifted to blue-black. Maindeck ramp comes from Gix's Caress and stern lesson which make powerstones (or thran spider which I have in my sideboard) but the really cool thing about blue-black is that you can transform into a Sheoldred/Teferi control deck after sideboard!
28:08 I mean, if you don't have an answer for double flipped Fable, it basically doesn't matter what else is happening, you make a ton of tokens end step and really just overwhelm.
I recently played a deck that I think counts as against the odds. It involves a single alchemy card called Oracle of the Alpha, and involves using displacer kitten to repeatedly blink the Oracle, using Narset to dig out multiple black lotuses and time walks, while using citadel and aetherflux as an overall win condition, considering the number of 0 mana spells you can pack your deck with. Probably the only way to play 4+ copies of black lotus in 1 turn
I have seen people play it with Song of Creation in Historic and Kenji (NumotTheNummy) also played a deck based on Oracle of the Alpha a couple of months ago. Considering 6 of the 9 cards are basically lands and can make for some terrible top-decks it definitely is against the odds.
28:06 Opponent might not have had an answer to double Kiki-Jiki. You can create X copies at his eot where X is your available mana. I don't think it was lethal so still too early of a scoop.
It is the same deck, but it appears that Crim wasn't the only one to realize this deck was good. The article credits the list to a player called Frotigle, and I wouldn't be too terribly surprised if Seth just didn't realize it was the exact same list.
This video is a great example of why Reflections should probably be banned in Standard. Way too often games devolve down to whoever has drawn more Reflections and get the most value out of it.
@@brokenmousegamingreactions956 oops i am a silly goose. Swore he said budget magic. Maybe I’m just imagining the intros because I’ve watched too many 😂😂😂
That match 3 the play was pretty terrible. Should have swung for the Wanderer before channeling the bounce on angel. Would have given you the chance to bait some blocks from the tokens. Along with the angel likely blocking which would have put you in a far superior position.
Another enjoyable video brother Set. I liked the Urza melds cause I want to do them in paper but at 40$ a piece times 4 I never would have the money to do so thanks to wizards hiking up prices as usual to milk money from the poor like me.
The enemy colour triomes rotated out, and the SNC triomes are basically just dual lands in "wedge" colour decks like Jeskai. You can still run a few just for the cycling utility, but you don't want too many always-taplands.

8:25 "That last game, opponent definitely had mana problems, but we took advantage of it" This statement starts as one designed to explain why the opponent was having a bad time and would scoop, "But" then then but is there to suggest a contrary fact to suggest why the opponent should not have scooped. EG: "The opponent scooped. That makes sense because they were having mana problems, BUT we were having troubles of our own". It doesn't make sense why you'd highlight why the opponent might scoop, then suggest that 'taking advantage of it' is a reason why they should stick around...
Seth is explaining how two forces collaborated to cause opponent to scoop. Mana problems on their own are not enough to scoop, since your deck might function moderately well on low mana or your opponent may not be playing out threats to end the game. In this case, the opponent's mana troubles were exacerbated by Seth taking advantage

Hmmm, interesting. Tell me more...
@@firstandlast.1254not until tomorrow though. It’s a daily urza fact
I clicked on this video just to make an urza facts joke but looks like you got to it first, well played
Fairly sure it was Karn and his penchant for actually saving lives that got it blown up.

he really hates sheoldred too tbf
adding brotherhood's end to the list of mtg cards you can't say correctly. I adore you seth, seriously
At 17:28 you can already play Urza and meld it, you have 9 mana plus the Mightstone and Weakstone to add 2 more
I feel like Brotherhoods end should have stayed in way more post sideboard however I don't play standard. Great videos thank you!!
Seth's sideboarding ethos is questionable. He likes to trim a bad and good card more than cut a bad card
In Match 2 at 10:40 you could have wrathed the whole board and survived by playing the second Mightstone, target the spiritualist and then Brothers end... The spiritualist dies because he gets 3 dmg and less thoughness as less enchantments on the Battlefield 🙈🙈🙈
You could have won easily🗿
I was looking if someone already said that. It was such a missed opportunity.
Came here to say that
Standard isn't actually stale, people just copycat each other into thinking that the format is solved when it definitely is not.

Next time when playing urzafacts I expect you to give us several facts about urza while playing
This feels like jeskai gearhulks all over again

Giving Adriano a break this week with the thumbnail?
4:316 even invoke despair doesn't kill you by itself here. you drop to 2 but you can sac your tapped leveler and then block and swing for lethal
wait, this is the same deck TheAsianAvenger played on this channel a few weeks ago lmao
It is the same deck, but it appears that Crim wasn't the only one to realize this deck was good. The article credits the list to a player called Frotigle, and I wouldn't be too terribly surprised if Seth just didn't realize it was the exact same list.
But you do know how the "Crew" mechanic works, right?
"oh no, my opponent might have a 2 mana counter in their deck. Better not cast anything for 4 turns in a row..."
Third? Like Feldon?
I think your opponent scooped was the two fables, at end steps you could loop a decent about of fables
This video is a great example of why Reflections should probably be banned in Standard. Way too often games devolve down to whoever has drawn more Reflections and get the most value out of it.
Might stone and weak stone caused the video to go to add break almost every time you played it. Some thing strange going on there lol
Hey, a suggestion for budget standard. Since no one plays paper anymore and mostly arena try to keep rares under 10 :)
This was a much abrew about nothing episode!

Do people flicker prototype creatures in Standard? Is that a thing that people do?
In bo3? Yes. Bo1? Never
sweet deck!
I wouldn't really consider this a brew considering I've seen this deck get good results from online leagues
urza facts
Comment for the algorithm.
Are triomes limited to 2 of each in standard? I can't think of any other reason to run 2 jund and 2 jeskai triomes instead of 4 jeskai?
Theres no jeskai triome in standard
The enemy colour triomes rotated out, and the SNC triomes are basically just dual lands in "wedge" colour decks like Jeskai. You can still run a few just for the cycling utility, but you don't want too many always-taplands.
Is this not the deck Crim played a few weeks ago?

Out of curiosity, if the borrowed time that had the melded Urza was destroyed would the cards come back as melded or separate?
They come back separate
@@ciaran.downey thank you
Why do you always bother with skitterbeam?? It's just not good.
Goddammit Seth. Stop playing decks I’m doing good with. You’re gonna make them too popular 😂
I am so tired of Fable of the Mirror Breaker
Why the Xanders lounge?
a red/blue land that cycles is fine and versatile, powerstones let you pay for cycling
I prefer the mono red variant
Should've named it UWRza
Letting the dog live is illegal.
Hopefully wizards stops crapping on standard
This Standard looks miserable. Fable is so obnoxious.
T4: Urza Prince of Kroog
T5: + Skitterbeam Battalion get 3 × 4/4
T6: + Hulking Metamorph get 3 × 5/5
First!
Fable's just such a degusting card.

Cool deck, but a bit cringey intro how you said "Urzafacts" 😬😂
