I love hiw death and taxes went from T1 to against the odds in like 5 years

Listening with headphones be like:

Falia.
Thalia?
Falia.
Oh, Phelia?
Falia.

I like how he knows the opponent doesn't have any more basic lands and doesn't use his quarters despite having five lands

[moobang]

6:21 - knowing the opponent kept the card on top, is that not a good reason to ghost quarter?

[WiLDRAGE]

Leonin Arbiter needs to be on Arena. That is all.

[laughingboy]

Love that theres no one ring in the list

[Freezingfist]

The only good Kor in Magic? Stoneforge Mystic would like a word.

@18:26 I think the better play is cast Phantom with mana first, then trigger on the stack Aether vile the arbiter. There is a good chance they will let phantom resolve if they think they are just tutoring an island.

This reminds me of the old emeria white piles of against the odds from like 6 years ago with blink shenanigains included. Thanks for the content! I love the entushiams you had when you said "Today we're gonna blow some lands and collect taxes in modern >:D"

I feel Seth's pain. That fan is necessary. Lmao

[brettkeenan]

This whole deck costs less than a playset of The One Ring lol

[babatazyah]

Kor Firewalker, the best Kor? Hopefully there's not a high profile Kor card that Seth is forgetting about

[alaraplatt]

incredible synergy in this deck. lead with leonin arbiter, then hit them with that turn 3 recruiter of the guard. good stuff

[darkseeker]

This deck empties its hand and draws nothing but wet toilet paper a LOT. I think it absolutely needs more card advantage. Honestly I think it could use some trimming to fit in 4 esper sentinels.

[Firewing]

Fell like there might have been a little misplaying in the first match, with modern being such a fast format and despite having the tools to immediately start trashing their mana base with ephemerates and ghost quarters, the opponent was allowed to get a such a large land base that land destruction was no longer a viable tactic.

[jeremyhicks]

This deck could use more Delney's imo. If it sticks, you can pull ahead very quickly.

[TheLetterJ]

When I saw Tax Collector, I was definitely expecting Seth to turn it into an Elesh Norn/Panharmonicon deck.

1, 2 crack a clue 🎶

Remember when you could actually tell which sets where modernlegal? I Miss those days too

[PKAnon]

No white force spike for maximum taxation??
