Seth at the beginning of each match: “uh oh, our opponent is playing a really good deck, this may be a bad matchup for us…”
Wins anyway

This deck seems crazy with something like Beseech the mirror as an extra 4 copies of whatever you need. Plus with all the tokens made by things like investigator and spyglass siren you can kinda bargain for free

[zaksaturday]

51:30 Anim Pakal's gnomes don't trigger her ability, that's why they did not attack

[sgjuxta]

This deck, if nothing else, is proof of this actually being an awesome standard format... The fact that you can have success with a panharmonicon style card in a mid-range shell (AKA a 4 mana do nothing), is really really cool

[mcintyre]

54:30 - they drew it off your mastermind activation at end step. There was never an opportunity for them to play it

[johndoe]

51:40 Anim Pakal can't grow off her own Gnome tokens attacking

[kaitn]

19:45 "Aven Heatseeker" might be the funniest seth-ism yet

[oakforgeminiatures]

I immediately spent 4 rare wildcards on this and was severely disappointed with my brew. Been waiting on this video

[reebokdragonite]

Seth: *plays against any deck, any deck at all*
Also seth: "We just beat the best deck in X format"

[xcelentei]

I've been brewing this in mono blue for standard, getting consistent draws off of loan shark and bounces from psychic pickpocket is really satisfying! Plus you can use visage bandit for easier copycombos. I slam all my blue rogues in there, but most of the deck's engine is uncommons.

[DonovanPresents]

43:20 you would've made four mercs and boost your vein ripper into a 10/5, and they could only block one land creature

[DesWombat]

Awesome deck Seth! The biggest brain play in that game 3 against monoR 29:00 is to use the first kitesail to hit the siren for a treasure like you did, the second kitesail hits nothing and the third turns the second kitesail in to a treasure. That way if you drew a land like you did you'd have had 2 mana to Go For the Throat your own kitesail to gain 6 from the triple Ripper 😄

I played a Necroduality deck back when it first dropped. A few tips for this style deck. Greedy freebooter, with a sac outlet, is a must. Getting the copy effect up and running quickly is key. With the enchantment triggering on cast, using a few spells to get creatures back in hand from discard could actually be worth the slot.

[aleckgardner]

The timing of this deck and the reference to doubling down etc with the recent Tarkov drama is great 😂

[piralos]

I know it's a background thing, but it's so wonderful to hear how far Cece has come in terms of confidence!!

[Buchaus]

That might be the unluckiest I've ever seen mono red play 😂

[thecrazycapn]

Colonel Sanders would be proud of these Double Down matches.
Thanks, Seth!

[quantumXkyle]

That second game against mono red was sick!

[tommygolbr]

1:12:26 for the 10th time Seth, you don't have to discard 1st to draw with the Scoundrel, so use it empty handed :D

[Red_Mag]

Idea for Against the Odds:

Return the Favor copying the trigger of Arcane Bombardment, if you have a copy of Return the Favor and a treasure making spell under it (Flick a Coin/Big Score) you can go infinite and draw your deck.

Urabrask or Quintorius turn your looped Bombardment spells into damage.
