39:01 He gets two Niv triggers from the growth spiral, one from playing a spell and one from drawing a card. The stack looked a bit weird with the temple but that's because it was put on the field during the resolution of the spell.
I think our opponent wasn't taking into account Teysa (and the tokens from afterlife). It seems like they probably could have survived if they wanted to.
I'll occasionally suicide if I'm in a spot that I just know I can't win, I'm not sure if that's what this guy was doing, I normally hit people with a GG beforehand as a way of signing off
This was a pretty insane performance...i almost think that adding some blue would be worth it, just so we can play unmored ego in the side...maybe add some desparks, like 2 or 3...just to fight temur rec, help in mirror sacking matchups, and whatsoever. What do you think? Main deck seemed almost perfect, maybe one less land would be fine, provided our almost endless card drawing
I feel like there’s a version of the deck that also uses corpse knight to abuse the x2 afterlife spirits and cat combo. Plus tithe taker and angel of scales are pretty good alone
Hi Seth, I think you may have missed lethal at 28:12? In response to the targeting of celebrant in you bin, if you'd used the oven on the cavalier for two tokens (because toughness 4) and brought back the celebrant, you'd fizzle the absolution, get the two foods and be able to recur the cat twice for the kill unless I'm missing something?
I think with some sideboard support even the reclamation decks are beatable, options include despark and mortify... I also really think a couple of leyline of the void are insane with all the cat decks out there currently...
28:04 - You had lethal in response to the enchantment activation, by sacing Cavallier to Oven, get 2 food, trigger get back Cruel, then sac Cat twice, and game.
Love this archetype and Orzhov in general :) Standard just doesn't do it for me at the moment. Looking forward to something pioneer/modern/historic next week!
i only get to play multiplayer and my friend had an unbeatable orzov deck like this except he had brought back and the like so maybe this video will show me how to beat it!
Could have finished that ethereal absolution game so much earlier. Failing to sac cat under the first wrath was 1 to 3 damage. And then not saccing food for cat under second wrath was 1 damage. He would either have been dead outright, or unable to play murderous rider's adventure.
I feel like you should definitely be casting a lot more things pre combat when they can make combat more favorable for you(tithe takers to eat up more mana if your opponent wants to cast things/activate things, murderous riders in case they kill things via combat or spells, oven in case they kill something so you can get something out of the exchange at least).
Just when you thought field of the dead mirrors were annoying, we get it banned and get oko mirrors. Then we get oko banned and we are left with aristocrat mirrors. I always hated the cat and oven loop. Now I see it all the time. :-(
every time i play my cat deck "The Cat came back" gets stuck playing in my head, or the parody of: And the cat's in the cauldron at the Witching Room Little Will blue and Rowan questing soon When you going elk, dad? It will be oko when But we'll get questing then You know we'll have quested when
Uuff. Sweet deck and all, but the many mistakes on both sides were pretty brutal to watch... Aristocrat is a though strategy to play with and against that's for sure, but still
@@Ahayzo True. I loved the cat combo since it got previewed and I KNEW I was gonna be playing it ever since, but its rough on Arena without any kinda shortcuts.
I’m not bashing I’m purely curious bc I don’t know Is the miss pronunciation on purpose like a shtick? It happens so often with so many cards I’m honestly curious (doesn’t he hear other people say card names?or is it really hard for him to say certain things?)
He has talked about this a lot, some he does on purpose at this point like sir coutinous root, though some are just his own mispronunciation. He blames it on not watching TV so allof his pronunciations come from what he assumed it sounded like reading it.
@@zga042 some of them have been so fucking bad you just wonder if he's actually illiterate or mentally ill. That video where he constantly said Darivel instead of Davriel. Sometimes i just wonder if he actually reads the cards. This Teysa (Teesa) is especially bad since i'm pretty sure he's played Teysa cards before and pronounced it correctly.
Yeah he's just getting worse and worse with his pronunciations. And I'm pretty sure this one is intentional because he's definitely played this Teysa before and pronounced it correctly.
Teesa and Golgary, along with putting very strange emphasis on words. CRUEL Celebrant, MIDnight Reaper, GILded Goose. That's not how you normally place emphasis in English.
Ive been using a teysa karlov, cruel celebrant, corpse knight, afterlife deck. It works amazing because no matter what the opponent does they keep triggering CK or CC, just pair this combo with blood for bones and you can constantly keep important cards on the field. This deck is the opposite of aggro, just play CK and CC and just repeatedly block with afterlife creatures and maybe tag them with deathtouch from bladebrand to trigger health trade from CC additional health damage from CK AND kill their creature. Also using revival/revenge puts heavy stress if you use revenge early on turn 6 earliest then its game over because then you can self sac with pitiless pontiff to get enough CK triggers to do lethal. Pretty cheap deck too, so swap out some cards for others like shock lands or dual lands, evolving wilds has been working for me so far. www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/2533160
Your game against Ethereal Absolution was so punty :( you missed so many opportunities to bring back the cat and have it die with cruel celebrant on the board + making food + sac'ing to get back your cat when Lili was on board whenever they casted wraths... missed so much drain and card draw
0:47 Death based Panharmonicon? "Reversinomicon"?? DUDE. THE WORD IS "Necronomicon"! With that and "Tee-sa" i've straight up unsubscribed. I can't handle this fake english.

Man, that Korvold player deserves props for playing it THAT hard. I respect someone willing to Reprocess their own lands. A lot.
I love Orzhov and Teysa but woo boy... sitting through “Teesa”. 😬
Funnily enough, that seems to be pretty close to the correct pronunciation as a Russian name.
Scott Rivers Oh man... that would be just my luck that after years of hearing it otherwise.
Tea-San, He respects her.
And that so irritating voice
@@RyuPlaneswalker cease
Everyone's talking about the "Tee-sa" pronunciation, but no one's talking about "bugler rats" 24:09
I LOLed so fricken loud at this and it's 1:19am. Neighbors love me, I know.
14:45 'Does not sac, okay..." He can't use his Witch's Oven because of Tithe Taker. He's tapped out.
yeah, people forget how sweet tithe taker is
39:01 He gets two Niv triggers from the growth spiral, one from playing a spell and one from drawing a card. The stack looked a bit weird with the temple but that's because it was put on the field during the resolution of the spell.
Finally, it's Teysa's time to shine! I've waited so long for this.
SAME. I love Orzhov.
love this. Those matches were a pleasure to watch. I love Teysa/celebrant decks. Devine Teysa was fun too, but this deck is definitely stronger.
That pronunciation of teysa is just brutal
At least he doesn't say Teeth Taker anymore.
Just think “chalk” in Spanish
13:20 I would like to state for the record that you're allowed to play just 3 Teysas in this deck. They're legendary anyway! You have my permission :P
Ha, thanks, although I think as a general rule running the winning cards as a four-of makes sense I think.
@@MTGGoldfish I agree, in 99% of cases the winner should get to be a 4 of
That first match was sick. I loved the interaction between your decks.
1:08:45 is one of the most amazing punts I've ever seen.
I'm pretty sure her name is pronounced "Tay-sa" :P
That massacre girl was a thing of beauty. Somebody really should have done the math.
I think our opponent wasn't taking into account Teysa (and the tokens from afterlife). It seems like they probably could have survived if they wanted to.

Okay, that last match was amazing. Especially the second to last game, where you were trying to figure out whether you win or lose.

Taysa is one of my favorite cards in the whole game so I LOVE this.
A man of culture
I've been running a mono-black midrange deck with Cavalier of Night and it's been fantastic in the deck - especially with Blood for Bones.
I love how new perspectives is an against the odds for next week when it’s my main pioneer deck
Hi Seth, I think you may have missed lethal at 28:12?

i was shocked to hear a different intro.
It's a special holiday intro!
Love Teysa getting some constructed play.
thats super hilarious that the opponent conceded in style with massacre girl
Great deck containing Murderous Reaper, Midnight Rider, and Wicked Oven! Just kidding, Seth. Awesome video and deck! :-)
YAY! I love Orzhov and I love Teysa! She's my favorite MTG character!
It's such a cool card!
00:36:39 dude wow. That match against Ethereal . deck
That was an absurd game.
@@MTGGoldfish Shouldnt you have saced the food to get cat back before the wrath trigger to get two more celebrant triggers? Would have ended the game.
I think with some sideboard support even the reclamation decks are beatable, options include despark and mortify... I also really think a couple of leyline of the void are insane with all the cat decks out there currently...
Those massacre girls with Teysa on the battlefield was freaking awesome. HAHAHA
Happy Thanksgiving Seth. I am "thankful" for the content.lol
I feel like Despark would be a good sideboard card. Hits Reclamation Hits Fires.. Etc
Aww, thanks. Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
I love how Seth pronounces the names of MTG cards like nobody else.
28:04 - You had lethal in response to the enchantment activation, by sacing Cavallier to Oven, get 2 food, trigger get back Cruel, then sac Cat twice, and game.
Ohh, good call.
22:07 Mutiny inside the House of Orzhov! 😱
Love those swamps but can't find them in arena store. Shame we can't just get them when we want.
Yeah, I'm not sure if you can get them in the store anymore or not. I did it a while ago.
Love this archetype and Orzhov in general :) Standard just doesn't do it for me at the moment. Looking forward to something pioneer/modern/historic next week!
Yeah, it's starting to seem like Standard still isn't very popular. Guess that means it's time for more Pioneer :)
Like to see some Historic Decks in the future.
Thx for all the content, I enjoy these Decktechs
Crim just made a Historic video yesterday! I'm sure we'll have some more in the future.
Nice, thanks :)
Just started trying this deck, crazy how many scoops I get when I play cat oven on t2..but a wins a win for me lol
i only get to play multiplayer and my friend had an unbeatable orzov deck like this except he had brought back and the like so maybe this video will show me how to beat it!
It hurt me when you didn't sac the zombie to get the cauldron familiar back and fizzle ethereal absolution.
His opponent could have responded by activating again
so many missed opportunities to make food :'( pre-wrath etc
Ugh, yeah.
TEASER WAS GREAT!
Could have finished that ethereal absolution game so much earlier. Failing to sac cat under the first wrath was 1 to 3 damage. And then not saccing food for cat under second wrath was 1 damage. He would either have been dead outright, or unable to play murderous rider's adventure.
Damn, Tithe Taker is quite the edge in the mirror !
Yeah! Was super impressive against other cat decks.
Everytime I hear Teesa, I get more & more pissed.
"What did we learn this week? " That Massacre girl should go into the deck ! xD
Deck name: Teysa's Oven
It's been a while since I was familiar with death triggers, would sacrificing Teysa to her own oven give you 4 food tokens ?!
Chris Cunningham oven is not triggered effect so it isn't doubled by Teysa
Guys, stop it, he's doing it on purpose to get comments... Dang it, he got me aswell!
How did Teysa become Teesa?
New viewer, great channel!
Welcome! Hope you enjoy!

Happy thanksgiving!
Why aint more people playing blast zone considering all the catfooddecks. So much 1 cmc stuff floating around...
...why did niv mizzet trigger when the opponent played a scryland????
Coz first trigger was from spell casting and second from draw on spell resolve.
Teesa... that hurts man
Standard actually looks fun again.
With Fires and Wilderness Rec so prevalent, why no Mortify?
Might be worthwhile, actually.
every time i play my cat deck "The Cat came back" gets stuck playing in my head, or the parody of:

Teysa, panharmonicon, cat combo
Uuff. Sweet deck and all, but the many mistakes on both sides were pretty brutal to watch...
Aristocrat is a though strategy to play with and against that's for sure, but still
Why play Witch’s Oven if you refuse to even use it?
Starting to think no amount of banning will make Eldraine Standard appealing. Cauldron Familiar decks are not fun Magic.
They're only bad on Arena, but that's a lot of things
@@Ahayzo True. I loved the cat combo since it got previewed and I KNEW I was gonna be playing it ever since, but its rough on Arena without any kinda shortcuts.
It has quite a few very accessible counters. Cry of the Carnarium or basically any artifact removal shuts it down.
Grafdiggers and leyline are cards that exist
@@ctomsky Yea, I actually enjoy the matchups against it in paper. Granted I play Esper Dance with a pair of mainboard Planar Cleansing, but still lol
Use Ghostform with Cavalier of Dawn
Ohh, spicy :)
It hurts that this cards main synergies is the innistrad block. Oh well, budget modern time.
I think, corpse knight, priest of forgotten gods, ayara and some one mana casting creatures are better than the knights
Idk man, the knights do have pretty good synergy with the deck over all. Plus, the deck does need permanent hate
Yeah, gotta kill Wilderness Reclamation somehow.
I can't watch the video, way too much tea, not enough tey
1:09:00 Typical Teysa in EDH, but without crazy mathematics in a process... Just typical...
Again this deck is good because it is a cat deck with some extra stuff to get even more value. ;)
I love teesuh Karlov.
How can you hear a million people pronounce Teysa correctly and still call her Tee-Suh? So many MTG content creators say shit incorrectly.
tfw i bought stuff from card kingdom yesterday
Ok no graveyard hate in side board? interesting.
In theory we're good enough against the Cat decks that we don't really need it.
