@Guy GILLOTT Yeah, I know. But if you think about it, pretty much any draw from that point on is a good draw, even a land, which would allow him to play Bontu. A recursive 5/6 menace is still pretty good. The deck doesn't have a lot of card draw, and he's discarding his two best cards to draw cards late game. The chances of running out of action after discarding the two Bontu are not small at all. Lastly the opponent was at 17 on turn 5. Trying to "aggro" the opponent out at that point seemed a bit too ambitious. Also did you have a look at the decklist? There was nothing much better than Bontu for him to draw at that point.
14:45 Maybe my math is off but activated Priest to hit opponent for 2, plus 4 butcher damage, plus 1 Fiend Damage, plus cast Heartfire sacrificing Priest is lethal.
Shout out to Seth for years of budget magic. In a world of netdecking and pricey formats, thanks for helping keep the game feel accessible to those on a budget!
1:03:00 was an early scoop, imo. Could have played Plaguecrafter post-combat and sacrifice Dreadhorde Butcher. If they sac the token from Phoenix, you can kill Illharg with Butcher's death trigger plus Mayhem Devil ping and their board is empty. If they sac Illharg, could have pinged the Phoenix token with Mayhem Devil and sent the 5 damage from Butcher trigger to their face. Not a straight win, but leaves you with a 3/3 and 3/2 on board, no creatures on their side and could potentially win with combat + Heartfire on the next turn.
www.mtgvault.com/germynator/decks/mardu-aristokrats/ This is my current MTGA build and I'm really enjoying how versatile it is. Whats the difference to your deck and why? Really would appreciate an open conversation about it.. :)
Man the sequencing at 30:20 was way off. If that was going to be your line, you could have Heartfired the Branchwalker, pinged the elf and finished Davriel off with combat damage. That would have left you 2 creatures, instead of 0, and your opponent would have had the same board.
Hey Seth! I just noticed that some of the copies of cards are blocked by you being on the screen. It's not a big deal but if the number of copies was moved above the card image instead it wouldn't be an issue. Thank you for all the awesome content!
40:20 It's clearly a punt here. Priest's effect would have cleared opponent's creatures anyway but during your turn you would have gain two mana to secure the casting of Bontu.
why at 40:55 you discarded the bontus the only way to come on top of the situation Rix maadi reveler should only be used as loot a card except if you don't have one
WotC:Nexus of Fate isn't a problem Also WotC: We're going to print chemister's insight, Wilderness Reclamation, Tamiyo, and Narset one after the other with Nexus still in standard.
They are close. About $40/playset at the moment. Could play two or three and still come in under $100. I've just been avoiding shocklands in budget decks since they are so expensive at the moment.
Would be cool if when Seth is on the screen he could format the cards that are behind to show the quantity on top instead of on the bottom so that way you can see how many are in said deck build. Either way, great stuff!
Getting a curve of fiend into cruel celebrant or butcher, then Judith and Teysa can one shot your opponent with a Kaya's wrath. I just love the splash on white in that deck.
14:40 lethal: Sac the butchler and the fiend to the girl, girl makes them lose 2 life. Butchler deals 4, fiend deals 1. Than sack the girl to the heartfire. And that's 11, they were at 10
I’m so frustrated with Magic Arena. The economy warps deck building so much. I have the Bloodcypts, for example, but I’d never spend my wild cards on Butchers and and Rix.
I just complained about the same thing. So many cards in this deck are fundamental to it, but useless for much else. Using valuable rare wild cards on a non versatile card when all decks need like 30 rares is super annoying.
Yeah, that is a bit part of the challenge. Everyone has different cards and getting new ones are expensive, so even a budget deck can range from cheap to expensive depending on what cards you happen to open.
It's quite difficult to state what is budget and what is expensive in Arena since the only thing that matters are wildcards. For example Hydroid Krasis and Timestream Navigator cost the same in Arena so if you find a budget deck running 4 Timestream Navigator and an expensive deck running 4 Hydroid Krasis is pretty obvious which you would prefeer to craft. Anyway, economy is great in Arena hundreads of dollars becomes thousand of dollars no joke :)
You need to try mardu aristocrats with citadel its so much fun. Cruel celebrant footlight fiend dreadhorde butcher mayhem devil they all go together so well
Yeah, we'll have a big focus on Modern in a couple of weeks once Modern Horizons comes out. I don't know if it will be 100% Modern, but that will be the primary focus.
I know I'm a little late to this one but I just started arena and want to build this. My only concern is that rotation is so close and I was hoping for some help on replacing the cards that rotate. I think I know some like blood crypt for the summits and grim initiate for the firebrands but I'm stuck on the others. Anyone have any ideas?
I think Rakdos is underplayed in general, and I keep wondering, with all these Jund players in Modern switching to B/G, why there aren't more cutting green for B/R.
@@spice_krispies Yeah, but, Jund uses Scavaging Ooze and Tarmogoyf, which is a non-bo. It's the same excuse as Jeskai Control using Mana Leak AND Path to Exile - the entire deck is a card advantage/mana advantage engine, and then throws it away with Path/Leak.
ohh thats an interesting concept for a treasure deck, but I think it will have to fit a completely diferent deck with Captain Storm and other token generators.
Im testing a storm the vault version of your idea. Its just a test but has work a couple of times on MTGO, it needs more draw mor control and more artifacts, I shoud probabli get some Saheeli, Sublime Artificer 3 Treasure Map 3 Sunbird's Invocation 4 Spell Swindle 2 Mayhem Devil 2 Captain Lannery Storm 2 Lightning Strike 3 Watery Grave 2 Mountain 4 Island 1 Orazca Relic 2 Dragonskull Summit 1 Swamp 3 Brass's Bounty 4 Storm the Vault 1 Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain 2 Depths of Desire 3 Blood Crypt 3 Sai, Master Thopterist 2 Fountain of Renewal 2 Mox Amber 1 Fiery Cannonade 1 Chromatic Lantern 2 Search for Azcanta 3 Steam Vents 2 Sulfur Falls 2 Drowned Catacomb 2 Star of Extinction 2 Lightning Strike 2 Fiery Cannonade 2 Sorcerous Spyglass 1 Revel in Riches 2 The Immortal Sun 1 Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain 1 Brass's Bounty 2 Mayhem Devil
Rotation will happen at the same time as paper (the end of September) but they are adding a new format alongside Standard (so far called Standard Plus) so you can use your rotated cards.
I'm sorry, but MTGA budget decks can't have over 10 rares. The cost may be low for paper, but 22 rares in MtGA is insane! I'm stuck trying to get all my lands, let alone use any WC on anything else.
Budget Magic is in a weird place at the moment. In theory it's designed to be budget for paper players, while Budget Arena is based on the Arena budget, but with more and more people playing Arena this seems to cause some confusion. Might need to rethink the strategy.
Definitely see this as fun budget deck for an FNM, and I personally love this deck cause I have most of it already, but I agree that there is a distinction between Arena and paper budget definition. Keep up the good work! I always watch most of your videos day one, and your strategy helps me consider how I play
It might be (Grim Initiate I think you're talking about). Fanatical Firebrand is nice with Mayhem Devil since it sacs itself, but Grim Initiate is nice with our sac outlets since it amasses when it dies).
Great deck , I like almost everything that plays Priest of the forgotten gods (I'll use PoFG in the following text). In minute 40:30 I think the play kiling both jadelights whas rigt but bad luck with the folowing draws. I think my line of actuation would be wait until my turn and use the extra mana from PoFG to cast Bontu just for the body, a 5/6 menace force the enemy to chump-blok prety badly, and most part of the decks have onli cast down as removal against agro. I supose the deck is designed to be agro, and reasemblin skeleton doens't fit, but the skeleton is so good with PoFG , once you have the "dark-trinity" the resuting mat is: shok you face+ efict + draw a card for 2 mana. I think ill try a version of the deck chaging the 2 reaver + 2 Rix for 4 reasembling skeletons. The 2 remaiing Rix ...ill try to use them but ill probably prefer to replace them by 2 Midnight Reaper draw a milion cards an kill miself ^_^
Can you try to make radkos the showstopper good? I really want him to be playable. I was thinking about a liliana's contract deck but i suck at deck building.
How can I send you a deck list ??, please, it's a really sweet and new deck for modern, it's complete mine and i've never seen something like this and it gives me a good results, I really want to show you my baby :DDD!!!! PLEASE ANSWER MEE
At 41:00 Why do you discard your hand instead of one bontu? Most of your deck costs 2 or less, which you could play and have the ability to sacrifice with priest, or you draw a land and can play bontu to lose a creature and two land to refill your hand. It feels like you play into far less outs by losing both of your top end wincons.
I would minus 2 forgotten gods and those amass zombies for 4 gutterbones just so you have more creatures you can sacrifice plus his ability to just come back to hand
@@surfincedarsamurai7341 yeah... Taking the budget into consideration it might not be possible in paper. But on arena the budget would be roughly the same. Just a few less rare wildcards and a few more mythic ones :)
Rekindling Phoenix could be good, either in the main deck or sideboard. I'm not sure about more Judiths. I like Priest and there's some risky we flood out with Mayhem Devils and Judiths if we keep adding more (and they aren't that good without a sac outlet).
@@MTGGoldfish I can't remember but I think you activated Priest maybe once in all those games? Hence my original thought. Maybe Fireblade Artist could be an alternative aggro sacrifice outlet?
Aeon Siege Add Blood Crypt, Gutterbones instead of Fanatical, Midnight Reaper to draw some cards (and die in the process) and 2 more Judith. Personally I don't like Bontu, sure the guy is sick if you have a huge board, but if you don't, it's a dead card, I prefeer Rekindling Phoenix to finish up the job. Also I better go for Bedevil over Heartfire.
@@MTGGoldfish yea true but if you can sac both immediately isnt grim initiate also gives us 2 bodies? well one downside would be bontu since he needs to sac all things at the same time. maybe not reaver but the goblin can be replaced. it is cool as it is too tho really enjoyed your video
40:45 You know there's another mode on that card right? Discard 2 of your best cards instead if just 1 to draw 3 unknowns. Seth... You've got a card draw problem.
Oh Seth.... How you couldn't be patient for 1 turn and decided to spectacle your creature instead of just playing her and keeping 1 of the 2 Bontus in your hand. How the punishment for greed seeps into your pores and extracts the salt in heaps... Lol
i mean i love the deck and i like the video however this isnt budget on arena lol most of the cards you need are rares lol also @30:01 you should of used heart fire when he played the llanowar elf saccing torch fiend 4 dmg to branchwalker the feind pings llanowar, you attack to kill dav.
30:20 Heartfire sac footlight fiend ping the elf and kill the other elf... attack davriel for 2 and you still have 2 creatures on the board... WHY ATTACK LIKE THAT AND LOSE EVERYTHING OMG LOL... I'm more annoyed about this then i should be honestly...
I'm not sure I can count the number of times, Seth, you've either A.) Thrown a game or B.) come close to throwing a game because of your reckless and impulsive need to draw cards. What's worse, you'd rather ignore long-term gains over short-term losses. Please, for the love of God man, play a few decks that have NO WAY of gaining card advantage. You draw your one card per turn and that's it because you seriously need an intervention.
@@MTGGoldfish Oh, I'm well aware, but the number of self-inflicted losses because of unnecessary punts skews the results of decks' records. It's almost as bad as when you forget that cards have text on them beyond the first line or two. (Bolas's Citadel ring any bells?)
I think I said it was probably wrong to spectacle, but sometimes it's hard to tell with the benefit of hindsight (obviously turned out poorly, but we didn't know we were going to end up with 10 lands or draw three lands off the spectacle when we were making the decision).
The commentary is simply incredible. World class!
*Discards two Bontu to Rix*
- What? Why did you do that? What were you trying to draw?
- Three Bontu.
maybe don't cast it with spectacle...
Seth, "Oof, this feels terrible, we're discarding all of our Bontus."
Then maybe... don't? I mean, or do, I guess.
@Guy GILLOTT Yeah, I know. But if you think about it, pretty much any draw from that point on is a good draw, even a land, which would allow him to play Bontu. A recursive 5/6 menace is still pretty good.
The deck doesn't have a lot of card draw, and he's discarding his two best cards to draw cards late game. The chances of running out of action after discarding the two Bontu are not small at all.

Also did you have a look at the decklist? There was nothing much better than Bontu for him to draw at that point.
No reason to spectacle it, just cast it normally and discard one Bontu
14:45 Maybe my math is off but activated Priest to hit opponent for 2, plus 4 butcher damage, plus 1 Fiend Damage, plus cast Heartfire sacrificing Priest is lethal.
That’s what I was thinking. Had to pause the video and run through it to make sure I wasn’t overlooking anything.
Hmm, I think you're right. Oops!
Yeah he missed lethal that turn, 4+2+4+1=11

1:03:00 was an early scoop, imo. Could have played Plaguecrafter post-combat and sacrifice Dreadhorde Butcher.

Not a straight win, but leaves you with a 3/3 and 3/2 on board, no creatures on their side and could potentially win with combat + Heartfire on the next turn.
Mayhem Devil was dying in combat, there would be no ping
What a spicy deck! Thanks for the video!!
Glad you liked it!
I'm doing Mardu Aristocrats, and no joke, the deck has so many ways of playing it, I'm currently running 2 mayhem devil and 2 hero of precinct one
I'm playing it with hero and Teysa Karlov. I've actually one shot people by turn 5 with a kaya's wrath.

Whats the difference to your deck and why? Really would appreciate an open conversation about it.. :)
Aristocrats without Cruel Celebrant is bold. Even in a budget deck, I'd still try to swing a little white for it. It's just so good.
Problem is that the lands right now are really expensive. So 3 colors is not really budget friendly.
11:38 You can also sacrifice Mayhem Devil. Since all of the permanents got sacrificed simultaniously the triggers will still go in.
I really like how this deck plays. Thanks for showcasing it!
Glad you liked it!
Man the sequencing at 30:20 was way off. If that was going to be your line, you could have Heartfired the Branchwalker, pinged the elf and finished Davriel off with combat damage. That would have left you 2 creatures, instead of 0, and your opponent would have had the same board.

40:20 It's clearly a punt here.
Priest's effect would have cleared opponent's creatures anyway but during your turn you would have gain two mana to secure the casting of Bontu.
He would have had two creatures while Priest only takes care of one, and there's no guarantee the 2/1 jadelight wouldn't have explored into counters
why at 40:55 you discarded the bontus the only way to come on top of the situation Rix maadi reveler should only be used as loot a card except if you don't have one

*Normally you give up land with Bontu. You know you FKd up when you give up Bontus for lands. 🤣😂🤣😂*

@@MTGGoldfish yea true but if you can sac both immediately isnt grim initiate also gives us 2 bodies? well one downside would be bontu since he needs to sac all things at the same time. maybe not reaver but the goblin can be replaced. it is cool as it is too tho really enjoyed your video
40:45 You know there's another mode on that card right? Discard 2 of your best cards instead if just 1 to draw 3 unknowns. Seth... You've got a card draw problem.
Just got to the end of the match, wasn't hindsight, you're just addicted to drawing cards :P
I do like drawing cards :)
Wanting to see non budget modern version since all the additions have coke out.
Oh Seth....
How you couldn't be patient for 1 turn and decided to spectacle your creature instead of just playing her and keeping 1 of the 2 Bontus in your hand. How the punishment for greed seeps into your pores and extracts the salt in heaps... Lol
Yeah. Would have been better to just rummage and not spectacle.
@@MTGGoldfish No worries bud, we love ya 💕
Whit gods you should play duress. If it’s discarded it doesn’t return to library...
Duress is for instant and sorcery no creatures p
Sadly Duress only hits non-creatures. Maybe this deck could use Drill Bit.
i mean i love the deck and i like the video however this isnt budget on arena lol most of the cards you need are rares lol also @30:01 you should of used heart fire when he played the llanowar elf saccing torch fiend 4 dmg to branchwalker the feind pings llanowar, you attack to kill dav.
I want someone to make a bot to automatically play mono red. Probably hard to do, but it would be pretty funny.
Rakdos AggroSacs..... Am I wrong ? haha
30:20 Heartfire sac footlight fiend ping the elf and kill the other elf... attack davriel for 2 and you still have 2 creatures on the board... WHY ATTACK LIKE THAT AND LOSE EVERYTHING OMG LOL... I'm more annoyed about this then i should be honestly...
Bonut.
call the deck rakdos sacro
aggro+ sacrifice= sacro
God Eternal Donut.

Why Seth? Why did you ruin my secret deck by showing it to the internet..now I need to create a new one :P
If you make a new one, make sure to let me know so I can play it for a video :)
Why wouldn’t he let butcher die and kill priest
remove 2 lazotep reaver, 1 tibalt, 1 rix maadi reveler, put 4 fireblade artist. much better.
or maybe remove 1 priest instead of reveler...
Bonut
I'm not sure I can count the number of times, Seth, you've either A.) Thrown a game or B.) come close to throwing a game because of your reckless and impulsive need to draw cards. What's worse, you'd rather ignore long-term gains over short-term losses. Please, for the love of God man, play a few decks that have NO WAY of gaining card advantage. You draw your one card per turn and that's it because you seriously need an intervention.
I'm pretty upfront about the fact that I'd rather draw cards and die than not draw cards and win ;)
@@MTGGoldfish Oh, I'm well aware, but the number of self-inflicted losses because of unnecessary punts skews the results of decks' records. It's almost as bad as when you forget that cards have text on them beyond the first line or two. (Bolas's Citadel ring any bells?)
DANARVEL
SAFRON ROFL
magic and its fugly land luck variance makes me puke
Should really change the channel name to mute sound and see my misplays.
Frenzy is bad in this deck
Rix maadi reveler is just garbage
first
dude cant admit he made a misplay
Hanson Kenny no one forces you to watch
I think I said it was probably wrong to spectacle, but sometimes it's hard to tell with the benefit of hindsight (obviously turned out poorly, but we didn't know we were going to end up with 10 lands or draw three lands off the spectacle when we were making the decision).
@@michapiwowarski4834 no one forces you to comment on someone's post that you'll never see but you do it anyways
How did that burn player make it into plat...he’s soooo bad. So many misplays
Strength of the deck and 90% of the time you either win by turn 5 or scoop to control so the deck usually plays itself.
