What I wanna know is, who is this Collector that was able to get Emrakul into a cage in the first place. I sure hope we acquired his Cage through legitimate means, cause I don't want him coming for me. Also, Seth is literally the only MTG content creator that can get me to watch MTGO play. I wouldn't suffer through that for anyone else.
Oh man, I normally don't really care about Seth's punts, or anyone's really, but that end to match 3 just... I need to take a break, I'll finish this video later
Anyone else notice the different wording on newer hideaway cards? It's wild that original pre-errata Hideaway has so much baggage. Hideaway caused the permanent to enter tapped, no matter what permanent you put it on. And if it somehow didn't (like Spelunking) then it just doesn't hideaway. It also was always 4 cards.
If you change emrakul to a different white bomb like avacyn/iona/emissary/moonshaker you can at least pitch it to solitude but emrakul definitely feels more fun
@@ezramiller8936 nope, an ability is not a spell. Oblivion Ring style effects get through "protection from colored spells" because they're abilities, not spells
@@thedude5able digging several cards deep, letting you choose from a selection, and then putting a creature into play - often at instant speed? Totally different.
It's ceiling is radically higher but it's less consistent gas. Getting a big hit on cage is kinda broken, balanced by needing more setup and getting luckier.
13:55 while this only would’ve worked if they still blocked with the meddling mage (which they might not have if you still had 2 cards in hand), keeping the inspector in hand would’ve let you solitude post combat.
Awesome deck :) maybe replace Emrakul with something you can pitch to solitude, so it's not a completely dead draw? Iona? Idk what white cards are best to cheat out. Probably Iona.
The way I think you should take this deck, is to swap out the Emrakuls for something like split cards, or adventure cards, cards where you can reasonably cast one side of them without needing to cheat them but can put them under the Collector's Cage to cheat out the other side. Maybe go White-Black and play Valki?
ZNR spell lands, especially the white one and maybe the green one seem good. Not as flashy but they can take up land spots so you're not sacrificing deck consistency
sweet deck! Maybe there is another big spell that is a better fail case than emrakul if it ends up in your hand, something actually castable late-game or at least pitchable to solitude.
You definitely could've gotten cage and activated M1G1. 4 mana + Hideaway land, tap 2 for Lieutenant, tap 1 + hideaway land to activate, then tap the last plains to activate the cage.
Seth, please make the Riku OoTJ deck (against the odds). Could add Three Steps Ahead, Great Train Heist, Trash the Town, Archdruid’s Charm, et al. -Thanks
I've been seeing CC go off turn 3 consistently with thoptors and green dorks. One of em was this convoluted omniscience, getting spells from outside the game, exchange graveyard and hand, loose half life storm thing.
13:30 TBH that would have kinda was the obvious call when they already saw 2 otherworldly lights. That last game they can still solitude ephemerate. They put the evoke trigger last on the stack exile thalia, ephemerate, and exile something else.
I’m wondering if we could add any landcycler’s to help with more big hits off hideaway and running less lands. And I wonder if we are a nythos deck with all our pips sometimes just cast the fatties? Love the vid!
43:06 I’m not the best with strategy of this game so maybe I missed something, but couldn’t Seth attack with both creatures, Adeline makes a token, that’s three creatures attacked, use three creatures attack to activate the land to play emrakul, since it’s cast get a second turn, attack clears most of the opponents board then win?
@@Ornithopter470 shouldn't the token enters attacking and then dies to state base action? windbrisk only check if you attacked with 3 or more creatures during the turn. correct me if i'm wrong
@@whiteirius4328 You are correct that it enters attacking, but unfortunately this does not mean that it *attacked* and so it would *not* count towards Windbrisk. See Rule 508.4 "Such creatures are “attacking” but, for the purposes of trigger events and effects, they never “attacked.”"
Green White could be interesting. You could use the 0/1 mana dork with exalted. Could be good to ramp and have a 0 power creature that can also pump another creature
@saffronolive @mtggoldfish When you sideboard, it looks like the cards have borders on them as if you don't actually own the cards. Is this a visual bug or like an "all-access" thing?
End of match 3, couldnt he still have gotten the emrakul by attacking with the 2 creatures then getting the token which dies immediately but was still attacking for the third creature?
I have an idea for a silly standart brew: you know the new judith, shes probably more of a commander, but what of you could play commander in standart?? Because: there are 2 1mana deal 1 damage to every enemy creature cards currently legal (end the festivities, tectonic hazard), which are board wipes when shes out, and theres corrupted conviction for the good ol value train, while you ping you opponent bc you can just sac your imps to the card draws.. now, i'm n standart player or declbuilding expert, but it sounds cool and i would really want to try it out, but i have no wildcards 😂😂 Would love to see a take on this from one of you! Edit: thought Village rites is Standart legal, its Not, so I removed it from the post
The evoke reminder text states "you may cast this card for its evoke cost, if you do, sacrifice it when it enters the battlefield" so, still is casting.
43:23 if you attack with both creatures Adeline triggers and puts in the third attacker, so you could play Emrakul with Windbrisk Heights making it a very interesting win! Or am i missing something?
I think it wouldn't work. Windrbrisk Height ask of you to "have attacked with 3 or more creatures" as in "declared 3 or more creatures as attackers", the token from Adeline is put in play attacking but is never declared as attacker
In match 4 does the token created by Adeline count toward the number of creatures that attacked or not? If yes, then you could have activated Windbrisk Heights still and potentially won?
No, Adeline's token enters 'attacking', so it never actually 'attacked' (it wasn't declared as an attacker). It's a subtle difference but often important to cases like this. See Rule 508.4 "Such creatures are “attacking” but, for the purposes of trigger events and effects, they never “attacked.”"
One the of the issues I see is that your trying to play this like a humans deck... If you look at Aspiring Spikes build its more of a combo deck that tries to kill the opponent on T3 more consistently but with a backup plan of playing a lot of little creatures
i dont understand why you lost match 3. You attack with adeline, warden, and adeline creates a creature token attacking. That makes 3 creatures and then just activate windbrisk heights in second main??
By now, I'm not sure anymore if Seth is saying Champion of the Perished on purpose to troll or not.
For once I think it's an honest mistake.
I feel like you're giving him way too much credit.
Personally I think 99% of the time it’s not trolling.
Seth never trolls. Magic players can't read. And if you can't read, you don't have a hope of getting the pronunciation correct.
It's Seth. That's your answer.
#breaksKayfabe
Champion of the Perished looking pretty good in humans
I know it’s Seth but “dawnbringer chariot” is crazy
Wouldn’t have it another way
I love a mono white zombie deck. Wait wrong Champion haha

That match one..... no one ever expect the lovecraftian inquisition.
Match 1 Game 3 Might have been the greatest piece of content you have produced to date.
There’s quite a bit of competition for that title. But it is up there.
It was such a close call and such a cool interaction. Great moment!
Oh man, I normally don't really care about Seth's punts, or anyone's really, but that end to match 3 just... I need to take a break, I'll finish this video later
Thank you for going into detail on the sideboard instead of just going "We got hate cards in the sideboard"
The true lethal is not Emrakul but the humans we cast along the way
I wish I could like a comment more than once.

Wow. MASSIVE Game 3 punt.
Moral of the story kids;
Never stop trying to win.
Never go for the cool play over winning the game.
If you change emrakul to a different white bomb like avacyn/iona/emissary/moonshaker you can at least pitch it to solitude but emrakul definitely feels more fun
emrakul is cool and all but 15 humans with a dead wonder is enough to take her down
You're also gonna need 6 things to sac to annihilator
Just cast Leyline Binding.
@@ScornfulEg0tistWe don't need lands.
Doesn't "protection from colored spells" prevent targeting as part of the ability?
@@ezramiller8936 nope, an ability is not a spell. Oblivion Ring style effects get through "protection from colored spells" because they're abilities, not spells

Collector's Cage feels like a sort of Collective Company.
I mean, it’s serving a very different purpose than CoCo

@@Umezete that's a perfect way to describe it.
I’ve been playing this deck a bit under the radar! How dare you Seth! Lol it’s a super sweet deck
I lol’d at the “pretentious” reference. Such a throwback!

Awesome deck :) maybe replace Emrakul with something you can pitch to solitude, so it's not a completely dead draw? Iona? Idk what white cards are best to cheat out. Probably Iona.
Iona is probably the best, but she's not really great. There aren't a ton of good creatures for white to cheat out
I'm glad you explained this.
I kept thinking 'powers' meant special abilities.

I think Enduring Bondwarden is really interesting for Collector's Cage humans. Super versatile in immediately or eventually hitting Coven.
sweet deck! Maybe there is another big spell that is a better fail case than emrakul if it ends up in your hand, something actually castable late-game or at least pitchable to solitude.
Could Moonshaker Cavalry work?
Collector's Cage in an Urza's Saga shell.
Saga finds Brainstone to set up the card you want under the cage.
You definitely could've gotten cage and activated M1G1. 4 mana + Hideaway land, tap 2 for Lieutenant, tap 1 + hideaway land to activate, then tap the last plains to activate the cage.

It's cool to see Solar Flare still around.
MTGO HYPEEE
Lol both spike and goldfish do the same deck on the same day
saffronolive played this deck in mtgo masters, if anything spike is the one chasing him this time
So excited to see some non-arena gameplay!
will definitely be trying this out, windbrisk is such a nostalgic card for me
I love Cavern of Souls. Wish they would reprint it into bulk rare status. We need more cards that reward you for creature type synergy
I’m wondering if we could add any landcycler’s to help with more big hits off hideaway and running less lands. And I wonder if we are a nythos deck with all our pips sometimes just cast the fatties? Love the vid!
I would love to see you play collector's cage in timeless with Displacer Kitten!!!

No, because of elesh norn. That token goes to graveyard before Seth gets priority
@@Ornithopter470 thanks for the clarification. I wondered what I was overlooking.

Khalni garden and dryad arbor are free creatures too
This is a sweet brew. I like it.
Week 2 of mourning Seth‘s cowboy hat 😔
Triggers? We don’t need no stinking triggers!
If you're wondering if the title is deceptive... Turn 3 Emrakul happens in match 5.
Whats a really good white creature that could replace Emrakul?
Feel like the deck would be more consistant with a white card to pitch
Feels like you need a way to shuffle you big guys back into the deck
Emrakul, I choose you!
@saffronolive @mtggoldfish When you sideboard, it looks like the cards have borders on them as if you don't actually own the cards. Is this a visual bug or like an "all-access" thing?
A modern video?!?! In this economy ?!?! Wild.
End of match 3, couldnt he still have gotten the emrakul by attacking with the 2 creatures then getting the token which dies immediately but was still attacking for the third creature?
Why use Horizon Canopy instead of Silent Clearing? One less life lost for Dismember, whereas green is useless
M1G2 couldnt you just block and strike again on the last turn? What am i missing?
Scion of Draco has flying.
so would this deck be better splashing red for nahiri? gives the deck a way to discard emrakul and a cluncky 3rd way to cheat emmy
Hmm, a thought. Omen hawker can pay for channel and plot...
But I'm way too broke on wildcards to make that. 😊
is this what they meant when they sadi Emrakul was the wanderer all along?
Bro game 1 you could have used the cage but KEPT SAYING YOU COULDN'T?!?!
Lets go the mtgo masters deck =). Love the content Seth!
I have an idea for a silly standart brew: you know the new judith, shes probably more of a commander, but what of you could play commander in standart??

Would love to see a take on this from one of you!
Edit: thought Village rites is Standart legal, its Not, so I removed it from the post
Anyone know why all the cards are hazard-striped when he's sideboarding?
42:30 you can evoke to hit Iona correct? Evoke wouldnt be blocked by Iona since it's not cast?
Evoke is an alternate cost but it still counts as cast unfortunately
The evoke reminder text states "you may cast this card for its evoke cost, if you do, sacrifice it when it enters the battlefield" so, still is casting.
Could this be the deck for force of rage? One mana and one creature turns on Collector's cage if you force of rage
SETH CAN YOU DO LILAH + SPLIT INSTANT AND SORCERY CARDS?
43:23 if you attack with both creatures Adeline triggers and puts in the third attacker, so you could play Emrakul with Windbrisk Heights making it a very interesting win! Or am i missing something?

I've missed the janky modern brews so much
Wouldnt a bounce land add some consistency to the deck? This way you can drop the hideaway land again if you fail to find an emrakul
Windbrisk heights as a tapland already slows you down enough. More taplands is not a good idea.
In match 4 does the token created by Adeline count toward the number of creatures that attacked or not? If yes, then you could have activated Windbrisk Heights still and potentially won?
No, Adeline's token enters 'attacking', so it never actually 'attacked' (it wasn't declared as an attacker). It's a subtle difference but often important to cases like this. See Rule 508.4 "Such creatures are “attacking” but, for the purposes of trigger events and effects, they never “attacked.”"

I don't think i'll see the day where Seth actually pronounce all cards in his deck correctly.
It would almost be more of a troll for him to go an entire video without mispronouncing anything at this point.
Seth is addicted to mispronunciations and will always Scumble to Temptation.
Coulda been a 5-0, so close
Solitude was not good in this. The list is probably also better with the green flip card and the new Ajani and Ocelot.
Pretty absurd your opponent had the same creativity draw 3 games in a row on turn 4-5
Seth please, your desktop is almost full 😭
Should’ve had the 5-0 😢
This humans deck is soooooooo troll.
Please tell me that Seth does realize that Containment Priest will stop the hideaway plan.
No it won't. Hideaway does cast, it just casts from exile while ignoring mana cost, things Containment Priest doesn't care about.
i dont understand why you lost match 3. You attack with adeline, warden, and adeline creates a creature token attacking. That makes 3 creatures and then just activate windbrisk heights in second main??
