Hey Seth, I was the Aggro player in match 4! I was so excited when I saw your name because you really helped me to find the joy in playing Magic early on. Been subscribed to your brews since 2014. I hope you’re doing well, and the deck looks sweet now that I can see it in action!
Hey Seth, at 25:42 when your opponent cast Go Blank, you could have used a Chromeshell Crab to channel, and after he pays the 3, use Shigeki to fetch one back and do it again. Would have costed 10 mana but saved most of your hand and graveyard. Plus you had more shigekis to use to fetch back Restoration
I have been playing this archetype for a couple of weeks and I must say that is really fun. I would recommend to run Restoration of Eiganjo over the stompers, because it gives you more value, you can ramp or reanimate your fetches or field of ruin among other things and it gives a body that creates smaller bodies and can be reanimated with brilliant restoration. Mnemonic sphere and spirited companion are also good to consider, because they are cheap cantrips that have good synergy with brilliant restoration, and the later can chump on early game against aggressive players.
Been running a version of it kamigawa came out, got to mythic with a mostly azorius version in Bo1. A few lowkey good additions to the deck: 2 of Tameshi. 3-4 circuit mender. 1-2 Candletrap. Also I've found Farewell to be a pretty bad include.

Have you tried couriers briefcase in a deck like this? While it's hard to get the second mode a chump blocker and a one time ramp for 2 feels like it could be ok in this type of deck.
I’m super happy to see a Brilliant Restoration deck on the channel. I built one based off of your original Turtle Lock deck and a deck you had featured on the weekend fishbowl like a week after Neon Dynasty released. If you do revisit this deck The Celestus is really good in the deck, it ramps early, it can help filter your hand in the mid game. And in the late game if you have your opponent in the Turtle Lock and you’re just looking for a Brilliant Restoration it will help you dig for it and fuel it. I also like Touch of the Spirit Realm in the main deck. I know it isn’t a creature, but being able to blink something of yours to save it from removal is good. The channel ability is great on tokens which are aplenty in Standard. It can also be good to just use it as a tempo play to take one less attack from a creature so you can be at a higher life total when you try to stabilize with a board wipe. I also like running a single Invoke Justice because sometimes all you have in the graveyard is a Sky Turtle. Endless Detour isn’t just a pseudo Counterspell or removal, it also has that stealth third mode of putting a card from a graveyard on top of the library so it’s an emergency third card that regrowths for you. Thanks for the sweet deck Seth.
I do agree Seth. That last match was played too safe. I feel like the right play was be aggressive, get your stuff killed, and then farewell the rest of the board, while still having brilliant restoration to bring back what died.
Have you considered Scattered Thoughts instead of Memory Deluge? It can put channel creatures in the graveyard, and it's a common AND easier to cast at 3U instead of 2UU. Only downside is it doesn't flash back.
I can tell that Seth’s style is influenced by sports announcers, and he does a great job of being present in the moment while effectively communicating the importance of what he’s talking about, which is a duality that a lot of the great sports announcers have. I really feel like Wizards is missing out on hiring one of the best announcers, each time that they have a broadcast without Seth as their lead announcer. I feel like wizards was trying to emulate the wrong broadcast when they took a “let’s have a poker style broadcast“ approach. They really should have gone in a more entertaining direction, similar to a football or baseball broadcast. Wizards of the coast, hire SaffronOlive to be the announcer for your tournaments. #Ivoteforseth
I grew up without TV for most of my childhood, so I listened to a lot of sports games that were played on local radio stations, I think the radio announcer style (where you need to explain everything because there's not video for people to see) had a big influence.
Mnemonic Sphere seems better for this deck. 1U to play and 1U to sac to draw 2, which is Memory Deluge without the scry or flashback. But its channel is U to draw a card. So you can channel it away, get it back with Brilliant Restoration and then crack it for a total of draw 3 for 1UU. And then you can repeat with another Brilliant Restoration.
That last game had me howling board wipe and get it all back. You had multiple counter answers and were taking ages just dodging the obvious. Fun deck though overall :)
@@iqglider483 True. I'd have to go back an see but I'd have to think his yard and hand still were enough to have a better chance in the least, than all that think time. Good catch though :)
@@Yauchy Of course! One of the awesome things about this game is there’s not always a right answer, and I didn’t think about what was in his yard when I wrote the reply.
Ugins problem was his ability to stick around after you wiped just pinging everything for 3 and threating to reset the board whenever again. Farwell is a massive restart but puts you both in the same position.
Okay I've played around with this deck for a bit and here are some interesting ways to tune it. Mnemonic Sphere feels much better than Memory Deluge. It can be cycled for only 1 and the mana cost can be split into 2 turns. This deck has issues doing everything it wants early game, so a cheap cost is great. Touch the Spirit Realm is a great catchall that can also be a great answer to tokens or creatures with counters/enchantments with its channel ability. Could be main deckable. Citizens Crowbar belongs in the sideboard. It can repeatedly answer artifacts and enchantments. This deck takes a while to get going, the chump blocker is nice too. This deck really wants Doomskar. I get that this is supposed to be rotationproof, but Depopulate only helped my opponents. Still, I think Depopulate is also better than Farewell. 6 mana AND it exiles our stuff is just too much. I'd rather see a 3/1 split of Depopulate and Farewell. The samurai was the most cut everytime I side boarded. Now that I cut Farewell, I'm going to try the card draw doggo over the samurai. I think the early plays and card draw will matter more than having more huge bodies. Every time Brilliant Restoration resolved felt backbreaking for my opponent, one less 4/4 doesn't change that.
In match 1, game 2, why did you try to exile the graveyard with farewell? The opponent ended up countering it, but it seemed to me that exiling the yard didn't benefit us in any way and got rid of some reanimation targets in our yard
Yeah, we did play Esper like x4 in a row at one point and I didn't bother to play those matches, this said, the format does lead to some really fun games.
I’ve liked devastating mastery over farewell. It doesn’t exile but you can cast it on a full board and get your stuff back with brilliant. Hits planeswalkers too.
I'd bet wedding announcement and restoration of eigango would be good in this list. Would bring in some chump blockers, and recursion or ramp with restoration. And they become even more of a nuisance when you bring 'em back with brilliant restoration. Sounds fun. 😁
Trippy seeing Seth pull up the hypergeometric calculator, as I just used it for the first time yesterday! YEAH SCIENCE First match reminds me of an Electrobalance deck I played against UW Control. I Boseiju'd all his manlands (getting back with Wren), and he Solitude'd all my Gargodons. It came down to each of us with SEVEN cards in library, and he just beat me down with a snapcaster. It was an insane marathon.
A good trick with ob is to bounce the token copy with the skyturtle that kills one plainswalker. Skyturtle is just my favourite card and I feel like goldfish just proved it was better than hullbreak horror of all things.
@@MTGGoldfish you could've been cast brilliant restoration, hard casted some creatures, farewelled and got creatures back lol you had so many options besides just looping turtle and Shigeki. You obviously mentioned this after the match but man lol.
Hey Seth, I'm not sure if you would see this, but I play Pioneer, and I want your thoughts on a Pioneer version of the deck. I'm not too experienced in deck building, and other than mana base, what kind of artifacts and enchantments should be in the build?
More Budget friendly option is *Fang of Shigeki* instead of the RARE *Topiary Stomper* - good aggro protection w/ deathtouch & another comebacker for *Restoration* !
I want to play this deck on Arena. I can get it down to 6 rares that I need to craft, but only if I cut the Topiary Stompers. Anyone have a suggestion for something to fill that slot? (Uncommons, preferred, if possible.)
I'd recommend Kami of Bamboo Groves. It's a green creature that ramps, and it's an enchantment creature that channels so it fits with brilliant restoration.
@@L_O_V_E_L_A_I_N cultivation is good choice essentially the same as topiary or whatever the dino is called and can be reanimated via brilliant.....bosieju is good in limited but idk if it fits here....what are some rates or mythics you own already?? Do you hav wren. And seven??? Maybe 1 wrenn 3 cultivation
You might be able to get a couple more slots if you split the wraths. If you have Depopulates (Or even By Invitation Only) that could work as you only really care about exiling creatures (maybe artifacts), and a lot of Farewell's power comes from the multiple modes and you usually only want 2. You can play other ramp spells, but Topiary Stomper seems much better than the other options to me as it fixes your White which is really important for Restoration unlike the other options. Could also split the Deluges with something like Scattered Thoughts which fills the graveyard.
M1G3 it's obvious they don't have any basic swamps from the previous games. Double field means no black mana for them and no raffine or kaito. a bit risky with the land situation (#deckthinning) but probably worth it.
Seth, I love the limited edition playmat, but I don't get to play much paper magic anymore and it's not big enough to be a desk mat for me. Is there any way I could pay for a desk mat or tapestry of the ebb and flow design? If not, thanks for your time! I appreciate it either way.
I'd have to look into that. I know that the playmat is the only think we've made with the design, unsure if it's possible to get the art on something else or not.
I think if I was building the deck today I'd probably run two four mana board wipes and two Farewell. I think that Farewell offers a lot of value being able to get rid of artifacts and enchantments, but it is annoying sometimes that it exiles rather than destroys since our deck wants our creatures in the graveyard, not in exile.
Farewell feels like a salty card just for people who think that attacking from a weird angle means that they should be unassailable somehow; I've had a few salt drops from that and rites of oblivion
14 minutes in we finally finish the grind of the first game. I make it sound like I didn't enjoy the struggle it was fun. 30 minutes we finish match one,so much tension the suspense! And then match 2 is five minutes long... Ugh.
I've climbed to mythic with a (mostly) azorius version of this deck. Farewell is not a good sweeper for it, too slow and exiling your own creatures is bad.
Love this deck so much, but if its matchup against Boros is that bad it's probably not a real deck sadly. Still would be fun to bring out at an FNM to make some people go "wtf".
Okay, I've kept my mouth shut on this for like 6 months. The ENTIRE Commander Clash crew says this word incorrectly... AnticlimaCtic. There's another "c" in there.

16:14 - "It's always anticlimactic with an opponent timing out"
In the fiction business we call that foreshadowing
Seth Disdainful Stroke was reprinted in New Capenna, so the deck is 100% rotation proof.
Oh, good call! I totally missed that.
Oh we’re officially reaching the “rotation proof” part of the year again I see
We're a month away!
So rotation proof its staying till 2024!

Season of renewal is another card that is a possibility to grab cards that you've channeled or have died in combat or what have you just a one.of tho
In a graveyard deck, having Flashback is pretty useful.
Specifically, having a BIG flashback makes Deluge really good, since it basically tutors some sort of action if you somehow fizzle out.
Tamiyo's safekeeping can protect lands too so you were boned either way.
This answer is correct.
IMO: *Tamiyo's Safekeeping* = Pretty Deece
Holy mother that was amazing! That's one of the best matches I've seen played by anyone in such a long time!

Thanks for slogging through it for us. I enjoyed seeing Brilliant Restoration in action.
Seemed to me Seth was playing a little too conservatively in that last match. Especially with the timer getting low.
He Literlly Just channeled back and forth between the turtle and the other guy doing nothing.
58:23 btw this wasn’t a punt since safekeeping just targets any permanent. You were just pretty screwed at that point without any outs
Isn't Disdainful Stroke in New Capenna? I thought it wouldn't rotate.
I don’t think it will. I was right about to comment that.
The big brain plays are great and your explanations are on point keep up the great work my good sir
For someone who hates Ugin as much as Seth does, it is odd to hear him during the Grixis planeswalkers match wishing that Farewell was more like Ugin.
Ugins problem was his ability to stick around after you wiped just pinging everything for 3 and threating to reset the board whenever again. Farwell is a massive restart but puts you both in the same position.

O play with This deck since Kamigawa was released and omg is so fun. Most of time It doesnt work really well, but when It does is so amazing
When I made this deck I found that playing red, fable of the mirror breaker, and reconstruct history made the deck much better.
That does sound sweet, although Fable of the Mirror Breaker is getting a bit expensive for the budget :()
Fun fact: Negate is last printed in Zendikar Rising and will rotate if it's not getting reprinted in Dominaria United .
Wait did I hear Todd Haberkorn at 10:35??? Is he doing voices for MTGA now too?
normally watch only half of the long videos but this is the most entertaining budget deck ive seen

Also, just a heads up, the hyperlink for the playmat is spelled wrong and leads to a dead link
A thumbnail that says “Standard Living End” is HILARIOUS now that we’ve got LITERAL LIVING END (on a body).

In game 1, wouldn't using the turtle to bounce the creatures before they could attack be better than waiting for them to attack? To force discards
Is it bad that I literally didn't know that there was aggro in this Standard until match 4?
Thet is one of the more popular decks actually. At least in best of 1
Shigeki has a short e in the middle of it like "Seth"
That last game was heartbreaking
14 minutes in we finally finish the grind of the first game. I make it sound like I didn't enjoy the struggle it was fun. 30 minutes we finish match one,so much tension the suspense! And then match 2 is five minutes long... Ugh.
I've climbed to mythic with a (mostly) azorius version of this deck. Farewell is not a good sweeper for it, too slow and exiling your own creatures is bad.
Can you please share your list? I'm really looking to build a version of this deck.

Match 1 - Game 1 Ends the only way it could, by switching to THE CRAB CHANNEL
So dumb that your Arena clock continues to run while it plays unskippable combat animations -__-
Sweet deck
I’m game 1 you should have bounce the underdog before he attacked
Love this deck so much, but if its matchup against Boros is that bad it's probably not a real deck sadly. Still would be fun to bring out at an FNM to make some people go "wtf".
Are we just screwed if the opponent plays their own copy of farewell?
I Would count the last one as a win.
What's your girlfriend and the Snake card got in common?
She Geeky, (as pronounced by Seth)
I hate to be that guy, but it's heroes in a half shell... turtle power :P
Ok this deck is pretty sweet, but you only need 2-3 living ends
The fact that it is a one and a half hour video when one of the matches lasted less than 5 minutes shows how grindy the deck is.
Two of the matches lasted less than 5 minutes actually
I think the could have just payed the three (Crab is basically a Mana Leak rather than a hard counter).
@@masaufuku1735 True, I hadn't got that far when I made the comment. It is even more grindy.
Man, slow down! I'm still on Villainous Sower. haha
not sure if you knew this but u cant counter the mirrorshell crab since its an ability not a spell
You should have memory deluged before swinging in match 1. You found a sky turtle which could have bounced a blocked and ensured lethal.
Timer ends one way or the other are pretty lame. Unfortunate.
Awesome
Some in-game decision is suspcious though.
Farewell…
Okay, I've kept my mouth shut on this for like 6 months. The ENTIRE Commander Clash crew says this word incorrectly...
AnticlimaCtic. There's another "c" in there.
and pass the turn
Whatcha in prison for Seth?
