I wouldn’t mind seeing him play something's other than 60 card formats, but he’s entertaining, nonetheless. IMO, limited is an essential part of MtG so I can’t grasp the idea of just not playing it at all. Generally, if a streamer just posts standard gameplay videos (CGB, PowrD, Dev) I don’t bother.
It got easier after I managed to catch up and craft all the lands I needed. Granted, I play pioneer so it's only 1-2 cards per set I actually need at rare.
In Historic Artisan you also get Cryptic Serpent. There, we call the deck "Turbo Terror" (since the first iteration was about playing Terror on turn 2 as often as possible).
This deck successfully convinced me to move to B03. It's also been INCREDIBLE on the win rate percentage. a preposterous amount of close calls, but the patience and timing of it are fun and effective! thank you!!
I believe normally the "pick up the Baloth and Discard it" would work, but since the Blightmouth Viper functions on how many Blight counters are on it, and it had none yet, it didn't make you discard. I'm not sure you could make it work if you waited for the Blight counter to resolve either since the Discard/Sacrifice effect is part of the same trigger.
Seth: "So far, Duskmourn has been a reeaally sweet set for budget decks, especially this one!" Me: But...this deck doesn't have a single duskmourn card... :/ Love the deck though! Cashing in rare wildcards right away!
Woah, Seth having 9 siblings was an unexpected but fun surprise. I've got 9 siblings as well and certainly know the level of chaos that can come from those situations. My Mom sometimes slipped up and called me by my uncle (her brother's) name and I still joke with her about it to this day because at least with my siblings I was the 8th and it made sense to get us mixed up by that point.
21:41 This is actually why I tend to sideboard out Up The Beanstalk against very aggro decks (been playing your Goyf & Beans deck with the addition of overlord of the balemurk lately). You have to start with removal or stuff that builds to the threats fast, and if you survive to the point where you can slow down enough to start building up card draw, you're usually already winning anyway.
I suspect Overlord of the Floodpits would synergize nicely with this deck. It triggers Up the Beanstalk when cast as Impending, and it allows you to feed your graveyard when it enters and attacks.
Jim Davis played a version of this that has a red sideboard, playable with one mountain in the sideboard and a bunch of cheap cards that fetch basics. Might be cuter than it is useful, but it IS very cute
5:00 Seth says "crab" here but I believe he means "Bat." He is talking about casting his Up a Beanstalk so that it wont be exiled if the opponent has a deep-cavern bat.
My grandmother, god rest her soul, did what your mother does too Seth - flipping through the names of the grandkids until she hit the right one. She always hit the right one, but kinda like saying your ABC's out loud is just how she remembered it.
Built a similar deck recently but the power of four Three Steps Ahead to make token copies of crabs let me steal some games where the opponent went super wide before I had the counter magic. Highly recommend.
Slight improvement for the deck that adds a bit of duskmourn into the deck if you have the rares, I think ghost vacuum is ATM the premier colorless graveyard hate in the sideboard. I've almost always been able to activate it to blow out a reanimate effect. The decks ATM that interact with the graveyard I fear the most all get wrecked by both halves of ghost vacuum. I also think this deck might want overlord of the floodpits but have struggled to figure out what I want to cut for it.
Hmmmmmm. I have not played standard in ages. I have heard so many good things about this current standard i might sleeve something up and hit an FNM. It might be this. I like drawing
I feel like toxic “made it” to the intended degree. Other than skrelv, and through that the double striker, it’s got mostly limited power level creatures, and all of its enablers are stuff that hard locks them into a very “fair” gameplay. Fair as in basic magic, playing non haste creatures, then attacking with them, rather than some kind of indirect strategy(spellslinger, sacrifice, discard, flash, etc) Like the G/W guy who buffs toxic attackers but doesn’t give them more toxic, enabling them to just fairly attack better, or the hive that, while very good, is a 2 drop that doesn’t get you an attacker until 2 turns later, in an aggro archetype. On the other hand, rotpriest is the complete opposite of everything I’m talking about. However, the decks where it does its bullshit are not actually toxic decks, they’re spellslinger decks. In toxic decks that aren’t built around it, it punishes your opponent for removing your creatures, again, incentivizing “fair” gameplay of normal creature combat, or rewarding you for playing the single toxic buff spell. Basically, I’m assuming toxic was intended as a “fair” aggro strategy, which it does a solid job of being, rather than a format defining mechanic.
@@Erribell currently some variation of go for the throat, ruthless negotiation, sheoldred's edict, and deadly cover-up, duress in the sideboard. I cut This Town Ain't Big Enough, into the flood maw, seed of hope, and Bushwhack (analyze the pollen has performed better). The deck lives and dies on its ability to slow the game down and generate incremental value, so removal and disruption makes it difficult for opponents to close out the game while you fill the graveyard naturally.
@@ErribellOh, i also cut stormchaser's talent. It does a decent job with This town ain't big enough, but outside of that specific synergy i didn't love it
Hello MTGGoldfish viewers If anyone wants to play this deck too enter the enigma from duskmourn at common is also a viable sidebit option I think This deck is really similar to a pauper list so if u like this style of card u might enjoy playing it in the format of the people
Seth been watching forever, like the whole mtg goldfish team, never once has anyone called you saffronolive, youre definitely better known as seth, only those who see you online see saffronolive, and then go oh its seth 😂😂😂😂😂
I made this deck, and I’m bronze 4 bc I normally only play brawl. Every. Single. Game. I face mono red rerolling for leyline. As soon as I bounce leyline and they’re still at 1 mana on turn 3 I know I’ve won. Can you smoothbrains play something else?
A little disappointed this deck now is in the spotlight I have been playing it since duskmorn came out and have nearly gotten to mythic on it now people will be gunning for it
I played against a version of this deck in Bo1 last week, and I absolutely wrecked it with the lone copy of Rest In Peace I play because of all the annoying reanimate shenanigans that everyone is playing It was delightful
Missed opportunity not calling this deck “Cache Crab” (feat. Eddy Money)
Eddy Murky?
@@MasterCrvo excellent, 10/10. Also acceptable was frEddy Murkery
It’s a budget deck that revolves around getting discounts. So it’s clearly Mr. Krabs.
If there's anything Seth loves, its casting high mana value spells for cheap to draw with Beans in Standard.
Just needs a -monicon
I 10000% get it, it feels so great to just draw a card on everything you do, I feel like I’m playing a glimpse of nature elf deck
I love how consistent and joyful SaffronOlive is everytime I see him playing. This is definitely my favorite channel for MTG content
Yeah, between this and CardMarket, top tier Magic fun IMO.

Letting the Slickshot through on the last play of the game was a punt. You know you've gotta keep your life total high.
It really irks me how difficult it it to have a stock of rare wildcards. I currently have 3 rare and 22 mythic wildcards.
It got easier after I managed to catch up and craft all the lands I needed. Granted, I play pioneer so it's only 1-2 cards per set I actually need at rare.
Draft a lot. Don't craft niche cards unless you really need them. Should work fine. Especially drafting will get you lots of wildcards fast.
@@SonnigesDeutschland Huh. Thanks for the advice. I have a bunch of unused draft tokens since I never tried it. Now I have a reason to.
Fuckin same lol
I have over 130 rare wildcards 🤑
Can I tell you how much I appreciate you explaining your thought processes? My favorite content creator by far!
Same
I need a deck with Overlord of the Boilerbiggles and Eddymoney Crab
Ah yes, my favorite crab aka a giant serpent.
C’mon, apparently given enough time everything becomes a crab
27:30 My mom only had 3 children and still goes through 4 names before she gets the right one! :D
I have two kids, but 2 cats and a dog. Well, somehow I manage to insert the pets’ names into the mix when trying to get my kids’ attention … 🤷🏻♂️
Best part of the video? The SaffronOlive mispronunciation origin story.
"Eddie Money" crab had me cracking up. Every time you played one after all I could think of was "Take me home tonight". Lol
Seth lore 9 siblings???
10:59 really spoke to me when Seth said "make another MLEAAUUUGHHH " 😭
I wish I could thumb this up twice. 👍🔥🏆
Always be terrified of a slickshot. Plotted, on the field. Public enemy no 1. Or best frend if you have it.
In Historic Artisan you also get Cryptic Serpent. There, we call the deck "Turbo Terror" (since the first iteration was about playing Terror on turn 2 as often as possible).
This deck successfully convinced me to move to B03. It's also been INCREDIBLE on the win rate percentage. a preposterous amount of close calls, but the patience and timing of it are fun and effective! thank you!!
This weirdly reminds me of the mono-blue "Brain in the Jar" deck you made years back.
We need to talk about the noise set makes at 11:00
top 10 sounds seth has made for sure
"This Town" Tron Assembled
AKA the Tri-City Area
Missed opportunity to call it Gache Crab
Crabbbbbb peo-ple craaaaaaaaaaaab people!
I believe normally the "pick up the Baloth and Discard it" would work, but since the Blightmouth Viper functions on how many Blight counters are on it, and it had none yet, it didn't make you discard. I'm not sure you could make it work if you waited for the Blight counter to resolve either since the Discard/Sacrifice effect is part of the same trigger.
Beating Discard is a moral victory as well as a literal one.
Maaaaan. Seth calling the crab "Eddie Money Crab" brought me more joy than it should have.
Seth: "So far, Duskmourn has been a reeaally sweet set for budget decks, especially this one!"
Me: But...this deck doesn't have a single duskmourn card... :/
Love the deck though! Cashing in rare wildcards right away!
This is sick. Really excited to play this deck, thanks Seth
That super punt during the last match, LOL. The deck looks fun, though!!

Hi Seth! Cool deck. I have a similar idea for a commander deck using Glarb, Calamity’s Augur. So thanks for the inspiration!
I suspect Overlord of the Floodpits would synergize nicely with this deck. It triggers Up the Beanstalk when cast as Impending, and it allows you to feed your graveyard when it enters and attacks.
I had a similar idea in Izzet, but this seems like a better way to go about it. Nicely done.
Jim Davis just played this too.
I didn't know the garfield guy plays magic
@@SkynetSpiderThe Garfield guy invented MTG.
Jim Davis played a version of this that has a red sideboard, playable with one mountain in the sideboard and a bunch of cheap cards that fetch basics. Might be cuter than it is useful, but it IS very cute
Never stop mispronouncing cards, Seth. We love our Boiler Biggles
How are you supposed to say it
@@jiggs8073 Boiler Biggles is perfectly fine
I see nothing wrong lol
Loving the Explorer/Pioneer, and Standard content thanks goldfish 🙏🏻
5:00 Seth says "crab" here but I believe he means "Bat." He is talking about casting his Up a Beanstalk so that it wont be exiled if the opponent has a deep-cavern bat.
just built this deck in standard man its so much fun it feels super powerful
I played an izzet tolarian terror deck a few years ago and I am very excited to try this!
This video is so Crab-tivating :D
My grandmother, god rest her soul, did what your mother does too Seth - flipping through the names of the grandkids until she hit the right one. She always hit the right one, but kinda like saying your ABC's out loud is just how she remembered it.
Seth, as a fan of 90s alternative music, I'm surprised you didn't call this deck "Crab stalk: this town".
26:58 ward 2 is great. People really struggle to deal with turn 1 sleep cursed faerie.
"(Cash) Grab is the most 2024 Magic card they can possibly design"
Casually dropped savagery.
Holy crab
I have a mono blue version of this deck. Looks like I need to rework it to this deck
For sure. Green has efficient mill effects and Blue brings the tempo.
27:20 we had 4 boys in my family and my mother would also go through four names before she landed on the right one
This deck is a banger. I’ve been playing it for a couple weeks and is so much fun!
I think Seth really overestimated the Valley Floodcaller in that last match! 😅
Built a similar deck recently but the power of four Three Steps Ahead to make token copies of crabs let me steal some games where the opponent went super wide before I had the counter magic. Highly recommend.
i like in this list the two mana fight spell from hand. its the early game removal that wins the aggro muchup
FINALLY a crab deck for the people
Slight improvement for the deck that adds a bit of duskmourn into the deck if you have the rares, I think ghost vacuum is ATM the premier colorless graveyard hate in the sideboard. I've almost always been able to activate it to blow out a reanimate effect.

Do you ever play your successful decks against each other? I be curious to see this deck vs the Eerie deck you had a couple weeks ago.
Do we like this better than the Goyf and Beans deck? I love the Goyf and Beans budget deck.
Is there anything on how to upgarde the deck or take it in different directions?
I watch every A.T.O., Every budget magic, and every arena/mtgo video u drop. Do a queza update. She’s stupid stronger than your last video 😢
13:44 Am I missing something? Why not just make the opp sacrifice the bat?
This was super fun
Haha 😄 🤣 😂 😆 😄 🤣 you lost at thee end brother Set.
Eddie Murphy crab is poggers
Seth has crabs! ❤❤❤
There is a secret third crab also known as Hearth Elemental
I preferred it when you called it "up a beanstalk" rather than "the beanstalk"
Hmmmmmm. I have not played standard in ages. I have heard so many good things about this current standard i might sleeve something up and hit an FNM. It might be this. I like drawing
Eddiemoney is my favorite kind of crab.

"We're playing Duskmourn Standard and using zero Duskmourn cards" XD
Hello MTGGoldfish viewers
If anyone wants to play this deck too enter the enigma from duskmourn at common is also a viable sidebit option I think
This deck is really similar to a pauper list so if u like this style of card u might enjoy playing it in the format of the people
Infect was way better than toxic. A person could change how many poison counters were dealt. Toxic doesn't change and offers no evasion.
Seth been watching forever, like the whole mtg goldfish team, never once has anyone called you saffronolive, youre definitely better known as seth, only those who see you online see saffronolive, and then go oh its seth 😂😂😂😂😂
9 siblings??? I have a brother and a sister, and my mom struggles with even 3 names 😂
Why does this deck have zero Duskmourne cards?
You can run a Say Its Name package in lieu of Stormchaser's Talent but both versions are solid.
Crabs!
When I play against gruul I am at 8 life turn 3 while bouncing their stuff....
Love how he turns the Seed of Hope whiffing into an upside.
The lack of ALtanak with this hurts my soul, even if it would almost certainly make the deck worse.
This seems fun. I just never want to see another djinn deck again.
I made this deck, and I’m bronze 4 bc I normally only play brawl.
Every. Single. Game. I face mono red rerolling for leyline.
As soon as I bounce leyline and they’re still at 1 mana on turn 3 I know I’ve won.
Can you smoothbrains play something else?
Played a few times against this deck in arena and it performed underwhelming. Stood no chance against my enchantment token room blue white deck.
I lost to this deck on arena today
$100 is budget? damn we live in a society
a better name would be Crab Grab deck
Seed of innocence?? Lmao
This is for bloomburrow standard lol
Take me home tonight.
I played against this deck the other day, it made me so salty
How does this deck not have honorary crab, The Mindskinner, in it?
