I think since Sheoldred is the most played card in every available digital format, it should be called an Arena of Sheoldreds.

If you went 33% with 36 Sheoldreds, that means each one adds 0.91% win percentage. This means if you had played 109 Sheoldreds instead then your win rate would be 99.9%

To explain verbatim the reference is comparable to explaining a joke because no one laughed.

Players: "Sheoldred has a 400% usage rate in standard!" Wizards: "It's on our radar, but not exactly ban worthy yet."
Sheoldred: the Sheoldreding is a Trading Sheoldred Game invented by Richard Sheoldredfield in 19Sheoldred3 and published by Sheoldreds of the Coast, who also publish the popular Sheoldred top game "Sheoldreds & Sheoldreds".

You cant make a deck with only one card Seth:"36 sheoldreds is the new 34 siege rhinos"
Alright, well results are in. I may be off 1 or 2 Sheoldred's but I got what I believe to be the correct count. 34 Sheoldred's were said during the intro alone. 250 Sheoldreds were said throughout the rest of the video which included : Sheoldred'd = 4 times, Sheoldreding = 2 times, Sheoldredie = 1 time and 2 times where he said most of Sheoldred's name but didn't finish it.....Hope that helps lol

I strongly feel that Urabrask Heretic preator should be played more just due to that fact that it kinda turns off Shelodred. It gives card advantage without taking extra damage, and turns off their first draw meaning they cant just sit and gain life.

Why would you run a 5-drop that dies to Sheoldred when you could instead just run Sheoldred?
@Shotgungunshot1
8 ай бұрын
The problem you run into is simply “Why not just play Sheoldred instead?” Does it turn Sheoldred off? Yeah. But for 1 less mana you could instead play Sheoldred, get all of Sheoldred’s value, and as an added bonus… A Sheoldred on your side cancels out their Sheoldred (As every time they draw they gain 2 and lose 2, leaving a net 0 for each card drawn). So not only does the card have insane value… It’s also one of the best counters to itself. Hence why it’s become so prominent
I love that Seth answered WoTC latest revitalizing standard anouncement with a deck of 36 sheoldreds and actualy wins so much XD
ME: ... you're REALLY stretching to call some of these Sheoldreds, Seth SETH: Even the lands are Sheoldreds!

Technically, sheoldred is just the womanly torso and head at the top. The big body is some huge beast she's commandeered, which is why she's looking a bit different after each planeswalk. I personally liked the original huge mouth one on Whispering One best, but this one is definitely something centipedeuos. Terrifying what skitters around dominaria.

Crush, because that's what happens to your opponent if you get more than 1 in to play at once.
Don’t take a shot every time SaffronOlive says “Sheoldred”, you’ll die during the intro alone
This has been your best deck explanation so far.
I feel like this might work better with Ratadrabik and Blade of Shared Souls. Also, adding the MoM Sheoldred would be fun, because that's a Sheoldred that can get back many other Sheoldreds.

It's most often best of three, but I've been playing more best of one when it fits the deck. In this case I didn't really want to sideboard because it would mean taking out Sheoldreds for non-Sheoldreds, so it seemed to work against the theme of the deck.
My board full of sheoldred deck used Vesuvan Duplimancy and a whole lot of single and 2 mana protection spells to crap out sheoldreds. Less reliable because it was made a couple a sets ago, but it was fun when it worked. My record was 12 sheoldreds on the field at once.

I love your cover pics!
Clearly we need 36 Sheoldreds vs 34 Siege Rhinos
I love when Sheoldred says it's Sheoldred time and starts sheoldring everywhere. Also, i think if we got a cycle of that power level it could've fun but with only black getting the card...
I love a good "oops! all X" meme deck, and this all Sheoldred deck sure looks interesting.
“Wait… it’s all Sheoldred?” “Always was.”
Yeah this oen is a bit more of a stretch than 36 rhinos, that said it is also got to contend with The End. which makes me wonder if the "stretch" part is an upside or a downside?
I've never been so excited for a video.
2:41 seconds of video and we have 34 mentions of the name "sheoldred" . It's almost the same as the amount of times you see the card in games
8:55 is Beseech sacrificing Irencrag to bargain putting another Sheoldred in play not good enough here for some reason? Seems good enough to try at least
Oh boy, sheopocalypse. Poor opponents. Out of curiosity Seth, are you going to do a daily dose of LCI cards? Was curious if that will come out soon
That intro was incredible
Your intro was (probably} unintentionally hilarious.
I think u hyped this video up over a month ago I have been waiting too long for this
Sheoldred is definitely one of my most hated cards but since The End came out I haven’t really cared as much when I face someone playing them.
Seth playing a deck that's just a ton of ways to take advantage of the immense power level of a black 4/5 for 4 with a textbox full of upside that's dominated standard? I remember this one!
Fun and possibly dangerous drinking game; take a shot every time Seth says “Sheoldred”
I watched this episode last night and took a shot every time Seth said sheoldrid and got wasted about half way in the video 🤣
Your deck should be called Oops, all Sheldred!
I played this deck and managed to run into the only person running Vesuvan Duplimancy and Croaking Counterpart. Arena doesn't even let me have fun.
That was a great wrap-up lol
It should be called an "Apocalypse of Sheoldreds"
then we play 4 lightningbolt, because they deal dmg. so basicly a sheoldred XD Great video seth!
Thats what I have been saying, Sheoldred's strength in standard is the Evoluted Sleeper and the Graveyard guy, sorry I don't know the english names. Thats usually what makes Sheoldred scary: Too much threats to kill

Love when Seth uses against the odds in a joking fashion like the jund deck he played using all the guesses people had about how bad cards like K Command or Lili would be. Lol
So, do you think she could see play in eternal formats? Also im surprised no Phil special aka Mirrorhall Mimic
Now he needs to do it in historic or any other format to keep cloning sheoldreds
The new card The End seems like a pretty good card against this deck 😅
There are way too many rares in this for a meme deck. I love it.
i bought a full play set of Mirror boxes and made a Angel deck. Mirror box is both awesome and busted. :)
i can't remember how, but i played against a deck in standard months ago where the opponent made token copies of sheoldred, so they had 3 sheoldred's on the battlefield at once. I lost that match

oven_lover was probably in reference to Witch's Oven (and that cat)

Where you in Vegas for the Worlds? I swear I saw you, but wasn't sure so I didn't approach lmao.
Funny video but a little bit weird : it's only in BO1 (I wanna see the BO3 version) and the outro seems like it's been cut
Sheoldred is back, and longer than ever
Another great episode brother Set but I prefer a Elesh Norn deck. Too bad you never made a video with a deck that has 4 of them.
Not gonna lie, if I went up against this deck, I would probably laugh my arse off and let it play out. Not even mad, this is amazing.
Someone should make a version of this video where it gets more distorted whenever he says sheoldred
Seth's audio isn't synced/live (behind the card previews) Yeah, I noticed.
add mirror box and looter can become a flying copy of shelodred after you loot her and you can have an army of flying shelodred. invasion of amonket is ok, but Blade of Shared Souls is better. you dont have to flop it. also, see double could help if you wanted to drop red to be just dimir.
