I love how Seth has clips ready for like half the cards on the list while simultaneously telling us how hard or impossible it is for each of these cards to activate

There is a VERY funny conditional line that makes Vraska, Scheming Gorgon extremely reliable: Playing her as an instant-win condition in Black/Green Counters! Any counter doubling effect puts her natural 5 starting Loyalty up to 10, so you can ult her immediately on play, and in BG you certainly have a trample threat or two available by turn 4-6 (ramp depending).

Nailed it!

I'm surprised Seth didn't bring up Etrata's biggest partner in crime. Well, maybe not cause they're commander only, but I thought it would be relevant enough Mari, the Killing Quill {1}{B}{B} / 3/2 Legendary Creature - Vampire Assassin Whenever a creature an opponent controls dies, exile it with a hit counter on it. Assassins, Mercenaries, and Rogues you control have deathtouch and “Whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player, you may remove a hit counter from a card that player owns in exile. If you do, draw a card and create two Treasure tokens.” Mari is the only other card in the entire game to mention Hit Counters. And instead of requiring a combat damage step to make just 1 hit counter, with Mari, she puts hit counters on every creature that dies from any source. So instead of attacking multiple times, you just have Mari out and throw out kill spells/board wipes left and right, then finally sneak in one Etrata attack to finish them off. Of course this still requires them to play creatures, but it's not like they're not gonna play none.

@Tazildayah

3 ай бұрын

Ravenloft Adventurer as well, which is the same deal as Mari except its a replacement effect so your opponent's creatures never hit the graveyard

that Ezio pronunciation hurt me so much and I'm not even italian

My Door to Nothingness deck in Mirrodin Standard was a beast. It used Urzatron and artifact lands to power out a speedy mana curve, then abused Clock of Omens, Doubling Cube, and Tower of Fortunes to grind out a ton of card advantage. The win came from sinking 20 colorless into Gemstone Array to filter the double WUBRG for the win on turn 5 or 6. Fair warning: Every morph creature is a Willbender!!

For future reference, it's pronounced like, "Et-see-oh Ah-dih-tor-ay Dah Fear-en-zey".

The Ezio pronuntiation slapped me right in the face

Man, that Ezio pronunciation in Seth’s already glaring voice…

Commander's Quarters did a decklist once of every card that instantly wins, then got several requests for every card that makes you instantly lose... I now run "lose the game tribal" as one of my favorite decks. Besides the original Lich, for pricing reasons, it's got every card that makes ME lose the game in it... and then ways to get value out of them or use them as convoluted win-cons by getting my opponents to "benefit" from them instead. Fractured Identity (exile target permanent, everyone but it's controller makes a copy) on Phage is an amazing multi-kill, btw.

I've won a few games of historic brawl in one turn with the elderspell + nicol bolas combo. It's especially sweet when you kill your own or your opponent's Liliana for the flavour win.

Historic Fires of Invention Bolas was silly fun, back in the day. Fires into a Bolas plus followed up the next turn by a Mastermind's Acquisition into a Planewide Celebration from sideboard, proliferate 4 times, ultimate to win. And all the other possible variations.

@Singe0255

The real fun is casting Bolas and Celebration in the same turn for the surprise win. Happens once in a while with my War of the Spark 'Walkers EDH deck.

I saw all the comments mentioning ezio and I really thought it'd be better than it was. That was truly one of the most absurd ways to say his name without purposely trying to butcher it. Bravo man bravo

I love playing Phage in commander. Really hard workaround to get her into play but really rewarding when you get to walk from door to door like the grim reaper, slaying your opponents

Isio Audotre di Franis killed me, but not in the way the card meant to.

"Ate muh sis" yup, that's how that's pronounced

I'm just now noticing the Ragavan on the dark board in the back. Well played, Seth.

I refuse to believe that pronunciation of Ezio was on accident, that was incredible 😂

Thanks for your videos - as always. It was only a few hours after watching this I lost to an opponent casting their second Approach of the Second Sun.

I don't need a single card to lose the game, I can do it pretty well on my own.

My Phage commander deck is one of my favourite decks. Love it sm

I'm digging that blood moon tele you have in the background Seth. \m/

This doesn't fully match, but my favourite "lose the game trick" is actually one that's supposed to make me lose, but it's comboing The Twelfth Doctor and Phage the Untouchable It's so fucking funny

With Etrata, you did miss how you can speed it up with Mari, the killing quill and Ravenloft adventurer, both of which exile cards with hit counters. Probably doesn't change the ranking, but is worth a mention.

I clicked hoping this was a ranking of "YOU lose the game" cards. I look forward to that.

As a fan of alternate wincons, I've attempted and succeded at most of these, and I can confirm the Deck of Many Things one is near impossible to pull off without infinites or board states that your opponents concede to anyway. My heart broke a bit when Seth opened by saying he wouldn't cover giving your opponents the things and then triggering the clause. It's very funny when you force them to exile their brand new Lich Mastery :) And these "alternate wincons" usually aren't that easy, or efficient to pull off anyway.

Opponent: let's their guard down around Ezio. Me: reanimate a Magister Sphinx

The b-roll footage of Seth's efforts to use many of these cards while talking about how hard it is to use many of these cards Honestly made this video so much better

Worth noting that we've gotten a handful of cards that deal in hit counters since Etrata's release, so she's become feasible even if you only get in one attack with her.

"Ee-see-oh ah-do-tray dee frih-neez." Amazing. Every word of what you just said was wrong. Sorry, gotta give you a hard time for that one Seth, though it sincerely made me laugh.

Phage my beloved, I remember pulling her twice back in the day. Her name and art makes her my favorite!

Yeah, it's definitely one of the strongest "lose the game" cards, especially if you build around it.

Ranking of "You Lose the Game" would be fun. Not even in a "oh, you can use this convoluted strategy to use that effect to your advantage" but just "what if I want to spectacularly lose?".

I love nothing more than hearing Seth say, “Vuh-roska, Gol-Gary Queen”

My buddy had a Triskaedekaphobia standard deck and I played Triskaedekaphile back in Vow standard when we had Sea Gate Restoration. Good times. Hard card to win with, usually it was off the back of the dimir control plan.

Number 15, hidetsugu consumes all. the last thing you want to find in your burgerking burger is an ogre that consumes the whole building.

i gotta say, i like some of these cards and while i didnt play mtga with triskedaikaphobia it sounds not that hard or at least kinda funny to try. But i had some really nice games and wins with the strixhaven Stadium (by PROLIFERATING rather than attacking!) in Standard in MTGA - and a lot less in historic but i could win against some friends. Instawins (or loses) are kinda fun to play and to build around i think =) and thx for the list

Its also notable for Etrata that there are two more cards that "exile X your opponents control and place a hit counter on it" in Ravenloft Adventurer and Mari, the Killing Quill, meaning in commander/legacy at least there are much more straightforward paths to victory

I’ve had a pretty easy time getting Frodo’s kill off. In my experience people tend to wait until you’ve invested the six and have the four temps to kill him. Make him indestructible to avoid basic removal. Play a “destroy all” board wipe and go in for the kill. Plus if you have a few pie breaking counterspells it’s really easy to make him dodge being exiled. I play him with wraiths and enemies will often use all of their removal on the wraiths before Frodo is a problem and run out of removal by the time he is

One of my favourite moments from drafting the deck of many things is I was dead on board and empty handed, drew the deck of many things, played it and rolled 20 and grabbed my opponents creature to block and not die. For some reason the opponent decided to attack, I blocked with his creature and stole the game.

I have both a vorpal sword and Vraska The Unseen in my sister's of stone death deck that is based around a ton of ramp and board wipes early to control the board an use her abilities with trample to get through. I have considered adding a Phage as well

Gotten a few Door wins with an Urtet deck recently. Chromatic orrery, clock of omens and doubling cube assures if it enters you can hit it

me: reads title also me: just lost the game

I'd love for Seth to know I've gotten a deck of many things win, in commander, with Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar. I forced the table to attack each other through Kardur and chainer, using witches oven and underworld cookbook to generate tons of food. When i had one opponent left i cast deck, hit the 20, and force fed the reanimated creature some food to finish the Elf player off before they could kill me. I had a playmat commissioned to celebrate

Ah, Vraska the Unseen. Only planeswalker I have ever pulled! It was a $30-40 dollar card then, too! Was great trade fodder!

That cut during 15 was very funny.

I had a game with my Superfriends deck where I had Vorinclex on the field, played Ugin Spirit Dragon, immediately ulted, drew into both Nicol Bolas God-Pharoah, and Nicol Bolas Dragon-God, proceeded to ult God-Pharoah and then Dragon-God. Very sudden borderline unstoppable win once Ugin resolved.

As someone whose favorite commander deck is his Uh-Tem-Sis deck, if you build the deck to ramp into strong late game bangers, you kill two birds with one stone by ensuring your hand has weird costs while also giving you a gameplay in the meantime that makes for a great puzzle every game

See you say Atemsis isn’t happening, but I’ve made it happen almost every time I cast It

How does Artemsis interact with cards on which there are two listed mana costs, like Brazen Borrower?

Harmless Coil was my favorite deck I ever built and played at a modern tournament.

I could see the planeswalker deck vraska work with counter doublers to one-shot a table in a single combat step. Super friends shenanigans and proliferate can also help pump those rookie numbers up. Also, since Doubling Season costs 5, this costing 6 means it's perfect for curving out!

I used to play a very effective Etrata deck. It has some creatures to block, 60 cards only, some control spells and 4 etratas on it. What means each 15 card, one was Etrata and the more the game stand, more likely was for me to draw her back.

I have an atemsis edh deck. When it goes off it goes off. But it's also kinda easy to shut down if I don't have counters.

I played a trickadekaphobia and tree of perdition deck in a dimir control shell back in kaledesh standard. Pretty fun, I went 2 and 1 a few times at fnm's.

In arena I've won with both Vorpal Sword and Strixhaven Stadium. Treating Strixhaven stadium like a mana rock worked fine for me because people don't think I'm using it as a win condition.

I've seen a deck of many things being played exactly once, and in that game my opponent managed to roll the 20. He pulled a goldspan dragon from my graveyard, and i, who had not read the card, did cast a removal on said goldspan....

Please try Insidious roots with moss-pit Skeleton! When the roots puts counters on the plants it creates, the skeleton then sees those counters and goes to the top of your library thus leaving your graveyard for a second trigger. Not infinite but seems like a cool synergy.

I pulled off Atemsis in a game with Unesh as the commander. Unesh's ability can add so many cards to your hand it's super easy to get 6 different mana values

I've consistently had Vraska the unseen in decks since the card came out. I've won with her ultimate once with Xavier Sal. I had intruder alarm and another walker out so I made a bunch of non legendary tokens copies of him and the following turn sacced all of them to each other to proliferate her to ultimate

with vraska, you can proliferate, multiple times per turn, letting you use their ultimate the same turn they are played, which along with playing them in control decks could make it viable (not necessarily efficient or worth it). ima try it

I pulled a triskaidekaphobia at the shadows over innistrad prerelease two-headed giant event, and my friend and I decided to go for it. We won a game with it and the look on our opponents’ faces was priceless 🤣

While there's no way you're reasonably winning with Atemsis in 60-card, it is a blast to reveal a straight flush in Commander.

I did it once (and once only) in an Arena limited format. The Atemsis was supposed to be the top of the curve beatstick but this one time the clock was shortened. I can still remember the thrill of ecstasy.

I built a Phage EDH deck and is really fun to play. It's like the Dark Souls of decks, one mistake and you're dead.

Did you do this for cards that make the user lose?

Atemsis is actually really fun to build around in edh. Built it for a friend and it was really enjoyable to playtest

Not gonna read all the comments to see if anyone said this yet, but Ezio is pronounced like the online store where people sell stuff they made, but with an O on the end. Etsy-O. Love your content Seth!

That Telecaster with blood moon art on it goes soooo hard.

I use Strixhaven Stadium in my Ovika Brawl deck to get some wins.

The Vraska assassins are also prime for the various unblockable artifacts that usually require a low power to work.

I used to have a Jeskai control deck that could absolutely kill people with Atemsis on a consistent basis. So much that the playgroup feared it and it was often kill on sight even without much of a hand. It's not a card you should actively shove in decks, but if you just happen to have a lot of card draw and a good MV spread across your deck, it can occasionally be a good inclusion.

On top of Door being easy to trigger it also pairs well in a gate deck with Maze's end. So I find it strange that you say the only reason it is that high is due to improvements in recent years when it is able to be done with an infinite mana engine that can generate any colors during any time since its release.

as an italian, i'm absolutely HOWLING at Seth pronouncing Ezio Auditore da Firenze like that lmao will NEVER not pronounce it like that from now on

In commander, door to nothingness is the go-to wincon of Ramos, Dragon Engine decks, as Ramos generates a lot of 5-color mana and that's the perfect sink for it.

Listening Seth pronouncing Ezio auditore da Firenze is worth the whole video 😂😂

I’ve won with Atemsis twice. To the same person. He now fears something he should never have feared.

Thank you for your service Saffron Olive!🕊️

Put Strixhaven Stadium in a deck with a lot of 1 power creatures and cards that say "The ring tempts you" and always choose a 1power creature as your ring-bearer, it would only be able to be blocked by a creature with power 1 or 0

Ezio and tree of perdition or the Sorin that takes life total to ten seems simple enough. Probably need a whispersilk cloak too. So a 3 card combo, but one card is in the command zone. Seems pretty doable.

Nicol Bolas Dragon God + Aminatou + Oath of Teferi is infinite activations. Once you have used bolas to remove all your opponents legendaries double up the counters with Vorinclex for the win. It is shockingly fast and consistent in a Sisay deck.

I think i have 3 you win/opponent loses cards in my deck. I have Mirrodin Besieged and Helkite Tyrant in there. I think I've got mechanized production in it too. It's a very artifact heavy deck

I have definitely won with Atemsis before. I can't remember what deck, probably EDH. But I think they had Unlife/Solemnity down so it was actually really clutch.

One important note about Vraska, Scheming Gorgon: your creature doesn't have to deal combat damage to kill, just *any* damage. A "tap to deal 1 damage" creature works just fine, making her a little better.
