Streamers get a different game. I went 11-0 with goblins yesterday and 0-6 today to Kor Spiritdancer decks. They just edit out all the times they get ABSOLUTELY FUCKING HOSED 9 matches in a ROW
27:24 I think the opponent's line here was to take the packrat and then sac it to the phyrexian tower after combat. However, because of how arena works, since opponent didn't have an activated ability or castable spell, it immediately passed the turn. Basically, OP got arena screwed.
@@BeCurieUs seth needs to commission this art from their artist. Like seth with the 3 liliana's having fun and the other liliana sad/seething in the background
*Seth gets mana screwed* Seth: Because of this infinitesimally unlikely injustice on par with the greatest tragedies of the human experience, we lost that game. Damn you magic gods to hell. *Opponent has 2 lands all game* Seth: Opponent might have potentially been hindered by mana restrictions that game BUT OUR DECK STILL WRECKED UM LOL.
At 30:15 wasn't it better to play massacre wurm? Oppo would have had no outs since even if he top decked 2 lands in a row lilli would have discarded the citadel.
Well, just found out Adriano Kitani's patreon has a high quality one that is a good playmat size. Slightly redone, but still awesome artwork. They have a smaller one with the original art. I got the image, but I'm gonna wait until Cyber Monday to get the playmat ordered
@@MTGGoldfish Although it was very good, I'm a sucker for heroes/villians/fantasy characters in normal contemporary settings, just chillin. I had to go with this one. Check out Gabriel Picolo btw, he's an artist that got famous for doing exactly that but with the teen titans.
Really hope after zendikar we get Jace tribal XD. The old Jace tribal deck doesn’t really work as well now that layline doesn’t protect planeswalkers anymore from burn.
Any thoughts on why you didn’t Massacre Worm on the turn before the Citadel came down in match 4? It would have wiped their Goose, guaranteeing another turn of amnesty and more time to dig for answers
That Maze's End game was only so dangerous because you pitched the second Spyglass for whatever reason.. LOL Really sweet deck Seth congrats on the 5/0
I love it. The only thing this deck seems to be missing is some Cabal Strongholds. Then you could go for the Torment of Hailfire win, though I guess that is a flavor fail. :)
Gates has been one of my favorite ATO style decks from before ATO existed. I used to play Maze's end at FNM's back when it was first standard legal. I wish gates were better (I really loved when I could play mazes end in a gates deck), but it is one of those archetypes/backbones/engines that just aren't strong enough for your entire mana base comes into play tapped (or a large part if you aren't a certified madlad like me). That tempo loss just makes that one too rough. Really did enjoy this Lilly deck though. Really neat concept, nice to see the 5w0l
I would play this but Wizard failed me by not letting me have all the Amunket cards I collected during beta. And spent money on. They lost me. Will by singles from LGS only.
You should have gotten all of the gems that you purchased back when they went from beta to release. Totally agree how much it sucks that they did the wipe though, I just want to play my UW embalm deck from beta but I don't want to burn the wildcards!
I just want to point out that in match 4, your opponent could have taken the match with a mix of woe strider + blood artist even with you having wurm and your own artist to counteract that, thanks to APNAP. If they had done the following in response to liliana -3: Sac Goose: triggers go on stack in with the opponents trigger occuring first. Resolve the first artist trigger and respond to your triggers with another sac, triggers go on the stack in the exact same manner. repeat until dead.
Question, in Match 1, Couldn’t you have included Leyline foo the void too have a chance of removing their graveyard preventing them from using spells from the graveyard?
Hey Seth, the deck looks amazing but I think both Platinum Angel and Ulamog are too cute and overcosted for the strategy. Do you think switching those and mayeb Dread Presence for 3 Phyrexian Obliterator could give more consistency?
A year ago you made a Nicol Bolas tribal deck, however it only used three of the five currently available Bolas planeswalkers. Will we see an update to the tribal in the near future? :)
Seth saccing a land to deal with 1 smol creature when he was 1 land off of playing massacre worm which would have also killed it hurt my soul a little. I get there was a reason for it but man that feels like playing against your outs.
46:47 discarding to pack rat, activating castle and then activating pack rat again puts 19 power on board. Activating Liliana -3 after that sequence targeting Uro gets rid of all the blockers for lethal right?
I *was* saving my Mythic WCs for Zendikar... but I'm also a sucker for Monoblack control, and the Chromatic Black lists don't really do it for me. So maybe I can spare a few for Death's Majesty.....
I can't tell what that blue land on the bottom right is. If that's a gate, I bet what happened was that he had milled all the gates that he would have needed to be the 10th one.
Seth, probably better known as SaffronOlive, if you love Liliana, Waker of the Dead so much why don't you build Standard 8-Rack ft. Davriel? I've been jamming a RB list in Bo1, it's been a ton of fun!
I wish you had gone deeper on the Liliana theme. This is just a standard black control deck with lilianas. You could play some of the creatures that mention liliana in their text. Not as powerful, but more on theme and fun!
46:50 once again, you needed the top deck and the Magic Gods aided you. If the opponent would have casted their Circuitous Route the next turn, that would have been game. I guess Magic is indeed easy when you get what you need off the top.
Or if the opponent wouldn't have played Gateway Plaza at all, so they would activate Maze's End searching for their nineth differeng gate and then playing Maze's End from their hand 🤔 Either punt from the opponent or Magic Gods' aid, awesome performance from Lilies and Seth.
I was hoping we'd Gonti a Kaldra piece and get a moral victory. (Seriously though, was hoping to Gonti Thoughtseize, but that might have been way too greedy).
he had 8 gates with different names, not 9. you were counting just gates in general, of which he did have 10. but there were 2 simics and 2 gateway plazas, so he only had 8 total, not 9. if he had 9 he actually would have won, since the ability searches for a gate, then the "you win" trigger happens. so if he had 9, maze's end would have added #10 and the trigger would have resolved. but as it was he needed to topdeck the right gate or a ramp, or live for an extra turn.
strings I've been trying to do something like that, the lifegain to get back ghoul gets easier with the new nighthawk. Might be a few other cards worth trying aswell

@Zach, Bro not sure, just says "high res content" giving wallpapers as an example. Link in his Twitter handle @amkitani
But why the rat?
Seth: "Reanimate Ulamog. All right, that's our hope and dream."
Some guy who actually put 420 in his name: "Uno reverse card"
I have literally never faced a feather without them having a god's willing in hand.
It seems like Feather has partner with gods willing
Unless you play the Feather, then they got removal every single time and you got no protection.
Story of my life :')
Same with UW auras ALWAYS having Kor Spiritdancer
@@PeteDoesGames More like auras always having 2 dogs and a dryad to protect they're spiritdancer
Streamers get a different game. I went 11-0 with goblins yesterday and 0-6 today to Kor Spiritdancer decks. They just edit out all the times they get ABSOLUTELY FUCKING HOSED 9 matches in a ROW
That "Oh my God!" at the Thoughtseize request and prompt top deck last game, I felt that in my soul.
Liliana, Untouched by Death is crying in the corner
Liliana, Unused by Seth
Both the planeswalker deck Lilianas: "Are we a joke to you?"
DocShadow660 this is the best comment i’ve seen in a while. Congratulations
At least a 1 of could have made it .
She likes Zombies too much for our deck :(
I'm so glad after all these years Liliana still a character being used.
Yup she and Sorin have always been my favorites!
As others have said that thumbnail art is really good, props to your artist.
The thumbnail artist is a Liliana fan. And having seen their work, I think I am too.
Would make a great playmat
The artist is Adriano Kitani. Maybe he has it on his page, but I'd LOVE this art on a thumbnail! Can you make this happen MTGGoldfish?
It is a nice thumbnail

Tower has always had this issue, and wotc needs to fix it soon
I physically recoiled when they slammed that Ulamog
Seth: There's 3 Lilianas in the format
Liliana, Untouched by Death: Am I a joke to you?
Untouched by seth
She pretty much is since she is arguably not even the best Lili for a Zombie deck
@@BeCurieUs seth needs to commission this art from their artist.

You say this as though every player doesn't act like this
I'm proud of you for not scooping when you thought the opponent won.
I was cheering the Gates player.
Then I saw the Uro...
That last game is the most Saffron Olive, probably better known as Seth on the internet, game since quite a while.
We learned that I apparently can't count to ten.
Seth "We finally have 3 Lilianas!"
Liliana Untouched by Death - Am I a joke to you.
The art on this is amazing! Give that artist a raise!
I absolutely LOVE Liliana, so I was happy to see this come up finally after hearing this leak from the live stream. Great video Seth!!!
At 30:15 wasn't it better to play massacre wurm?
Oppo would have had no outs since even if he top decked 2 lands in a row lilli would have discarded the citadel.
That thumbnail though.... 🥰
This is a love song to the color black and I am loving it.
Thumbnail art is great! Need playmat or something of that.
Shuttup and take my money!
It would be a sweet playmat, but I don't think it can ever happen since Wizards owns Liliana IP.
@@MTGGoldfishthat's fair. Thanks for the update and the email / artist info!
You could get a custom one online. I might have to do that lol

Agreed, this thumbnail is sick! We need prints and playmats, asap!
Thanks for making me spend more wildcards. The minotaur deck kind of wiped me out but Lili is too bae.
*brings in Sorcerer's Spyglass specifically for Maze's End*
Seth: Names Ugin, the Shooting Dragon.
I'm loving this deck!
thumbnail art is soo good !!!!. Liliana look really cute
Oh i forgot. Is it possible to get that thumbnail art as HD wallpaper ?
Lili definitely one of my favorite Planeswalkers. Sweet deck.
I love the content, but I wish Seth would tell me how to get one of those sweet Scoops soldier stickers
Just let Card Kingdom know you want one in your order notes when you go to check out...
i like the art of the thumbnail, reminds me of every college student during covid
What's Lili listening to, do we think? Siouxsie and the Banshees? Cranberries "Zombie"
You're Dead by Norma Tanega
Dead Can Dance
'Death Cab for Cutie', H.I.M., Atreyu, 'Bullet for My Valentine' or 'Hollywood Undead'. Easy.
This deck is so old that I’d be really interested in seeing liliana tribal done again, since we have so many more lilianas now
Cover art Liliana is bae. 😍
There it is folks. The best thumbnail
Personally I still think Nine Lives might be the best, but this is close for sure.
@@MTGGoldfish Although it was very good, I'm a sucker for heroes/villians/fantasy characters in normal contemporary settings, just chillin. I had to go with this one.
Check out Gabriel Picolo btw, he's an artist that got famous for doing exactly that but with the teen titans.
Really hope after zendikar we get Jace tribal XD. The old Jace tribal deck doesn’t really work as well now that layline doesn’t protect planeswalkers anymore from burn.
Jace Tribal with Anointed Procession now that we'll have two Jaces that make token copies of themselves.
MTGGoldfish more arena crashes incoming XD!
This lol
I think I want that thumbnail as a playmat. It is really awesome!
Any thoughts on why you didn’t Massacre Worm on the turn before the Citadel came down in match 4? It would have wiped their Goose, guaranteeing another turn of amnesty and more time to dig for answers
You miscounted the double simic guild gates as 2 different named gates
Liliana and Historic, 2 words that goes together.
Cant wait to get all the pieces in arena! What changes would you make to convert it to pioneer?
That Maze's End game was only so dangerous because you pitched the second Spyglass for whatever reason.. LOL Really sweet deck Seth congrats on the 5/0
Yeah, pitching Spyglass was too greedy. We almost got punished.
I love it. The only thing this deck seems to be missing is some Cabal Strongholds. Then you could go for the Torment of Hailfire win, though I guess that is a flavor fail. :)
This has to be my favorite thumbnail art. I would buy the shit out of a playmat with this art

Whatcha think about Seagate Stormcaller in the Temur Song of Creation storm deck for modern?
Worth giving a shot or nah?

Play Maze's End *ONLY* if you play it on a Budget Magic segment.
Gates are cheap; their deck should be, too....
Wicked win streak man! Are you gonna keep runnin' different versions of "Planeswalker Tron"? Heh... I dig it
We've done a lot of planeswalker tribal decks in Modern, but Historic still has a bunch of options, so most likely yes :)
super sweet deck
I wish you would've added the eldest reborn for even more reanimation!! Great video anyway :D
Best thumbnail
41:36 Seth always relatable
What’s the win con when platinum angel is on the battlefield?
Huge liliana fan. Soo have to make this.
Seth: So what didwe learn this week about liliana tribal?
Me: how to count gates.
Hey Magical people, what format is this on? New to MTG, Liliana seduced me into joining hahaha
finally its here
Seth, probably better known as SaffronOlive, if you love Liliana, Waker of the Dead so much why don't you build Standard 8-Rack ft. Davriel? I've been jamming a RB list in Bo1, it's been a ton of fun!
Y'all are talking about Lili Untouched by Death, but it's right in her name - untouched
Math is so hard Seth just can't count to nine
Lilliana is AWESOME

Cool deck, not gonna lie though, after watching I built golos gates
😂😂😂😜😜😜❤️❤️❤️ never change, Seth.
the best day of my life happened yesterday when opponent went thought distorsion and my response was a narset reversal
30:15 Why did you play Gonti instead of Wurm so even if they topdecked a land they couldn't play Citadel...
I was hoping we'd Gonti a Kaldra piece and get a moral victory. (Seriously though, was hoping to Gonti Thoughtseize, but that might have been way too greedy).
Damn, Liliana's emblem was a perfect counter to Ugin.
No liliana's triumph? It has flavor and synergy!
he had 8 gates with different names, not 9. you were counting just gates in general, of which he did have 10. but there were 2 simics and 2 gateway plazas, so he only had 8 total, not 9. if he had 9 he actually would have won, since the ability searches for a gate, then the "you win" trigger happens. so if he had 9, maze's end would have added #10 and the trigger would have resolved. but as it was he needed to topdeck the right gate or a ramp, or live for an extra turn.
Been trying to make waker of the dead and silversmote ghoul work in standard. Need ideas tho.
For SSG I'd actually play it in a deck that consistently gains life, then use it as a dawn of hope on a body
strings I've been trying to do something like that, the lifegain to get back ghoul gets easier with the new nighthawk. Might be a few other cards worth trying aswell
Brilliant
See what happens when you don't early scoop, Seth?
Never expected Liliana to be Magic's Lo-Fi girl.
Is it possible to get the full picture of the thumbnail for this episode?
Email me and I can hook you up. SaffronOlive@MTGGoldfish.com.
Done email sent
27:50 he could use tower to sacrifice stolen rat
Is Ravenous Chupacabra not good in this strategy?
I think a copy or two could be good, we've just already got a lot o our-drops.
48:29 what i learned this week is that seth can't count :P
Is it hot in here or is it just Angsty Lili?
Lets be real. You clicked because that thumbnail was sick. So did I
Poor Liliana, Untouched by Death, always overlooked.
She just is way too dependent on Zombies to do anything for our deck.
@@MTGGoldfish ha ha of course. It was just funny becuase you didn't even count it in the list of historic legal Lilianas.
How did you get 350 gold?
