"How Many Different 6+ Drops Can I Play With Emergent Ultimatum?" | Meme or Dream? | MTG Standard
Ойындар
A few months ago, Wizards started publishing decklists from Magic Arena. To qualify for publication, a deck needs to win at least six matches in a row at platinum rank or better. This sounds simple on its face, but some incredibly janky lists end up being published every time lists are published. This has led to speculation that a bug in the system allows decks that didn't actually win six matches in a row to be published or, for the most tin-foil-hatted crowd, the idea that Wizards just publishes whatever it wants to make the metagame look more diverse than it really is.
This week was actually a pretty tame week as far as MTG Arena lists are concerned (and by this I mean all the decks published had a sideboard!) However, there's still weirdness to be found, like an Emergent Ultimatum deck with 18 ones-ofs and a massive 21 cards that cost six or more mana! Is one of the 'bad' Ultimatums from Ikoria good enough for Standard? Can the curve possibly work? Let's find out of this Emergent Ultimatum brew is a Meme or Dream!

"Ho ho ho, opponent!" Never change Seth.
I think that if you manage to 5-0 a meme or dream deck, you should do a 6th match for the 6-0.
If Seth doesn't wear bunny ears this Easter, I'll be sorely disappointed

Every commander deck I own is built to do stuff like this. Minimal removal or utility cards, just loads of fun cards. Not even worth starting a game against any kind of control deck, but when it goes off it really goes off!

Hey Seth, I was your opp on golgari enchantments. Our match made me realise I could use some hand disruption and bloodchief thirst's in the main hahaha. I was definitely wishing I had 'em This was a sweet deck though. Legit thought it was against the odds and the whole plan was to emergent into the wurm, mammoth and kogla to present a no win scenario. Could be real with some tightening.

This one was awesome. I will say, for the section at the end where you (didn't) talk about what you could improve about the deck, there were a few cards you boarded out in every match, so probably that says there are some improvements to be made... y'know, replace Nissa with removal or something more on plan... but that's a pretty minor quibble compared to "have a sideboard."
The sunglasses (and beard) killed it!
It feels like this could deck could be tightened up quite a bit since Seth searched for pretty much the same 8 cards each game. I'd really like to see Seth build his own Emergent Ultimatum deck for a stream. It's far better than I'd have expected. I think it's funny that the creature removal creatures are mostly green.
also 40:08 is such a good feeling. Great that you baited out their counterspells with the beanstalk giants ;)
Guess it's safe to say this is the most wholesome mtg channel on youtube
Christmas Meme or Dream miracle! Thanks Seth, this was a lot of fun to watch. I'm totally going to try out the deck (with some changes)
I like how deck ideas used to come from small Japanese tournaments, and now they come from a small, boutique Indie company...oh how the future races to embrace us all.
Merry late Christmas! thanks for all the amazing content.
Omg, I hadn't seen this yet and now I love you even more Seth hahahaha you're amazing
Lmao, I love the costume Seth! Thank you for the Christmas cheer!
This deck had the feel of newbie kitchen table magic. That first game was just ... fun? Love this channel :)
I like this deck but I also like the golgari enchantments deck that you faced as well that was pretty sweet hope you had a great Christmas Seth
Hark, Tiny Timmy cried, the meta is solved!
seth ilysm you're the best, this series is great
Ebenezer Olive wakes from the visits of the spirits of Christmas jank Past, Present and Future. Shocked the spirits did all their work in one night, he shouts to a passing Caryatid, Is the prize winning Great Ape still in the card shop window?! It's a Jankmas Miracle and Tiny Timmy did not die!
I didn’t know I needed Santa Seth in my life, this is perfect
I hope Santa Olive becomes tradition going forward 🎅
I think on decks like this one that get the 5/0 you should go for the 6th game so you can get the 6/0 like WOTC said all the decks apparently did

Love this deck! Big fan of emergent ultimatum into big stuff
I wonder if Vivien, Monsters' Advocate would make more sense than Garruk. She's fetchable with Emergent Ultimatum and her -2 combos with Emergent Ultimatum.
You had me at Saffron Claus.
This deck is a meme, but the great power came from the amazing grey santa beard. HO HO HO Seth!
I saw the costume and instantly liked the vid. I hope it's a good one lol (I'm sure it will be!)

This looks exactly like something I put together to test ultimatum the other day... rofl. Was so bad.
I think Kinnan is supposed to be the human you bounce to keep Kogla from being destroyed. It also gives you another mana sink/threat for an ultimatum.
I would love a historic version of this deck
omg! santa seth!! LOVE IT!
It was great to watch this take down all challengers. Always nice to see the dark horse dominate.
This deck is ridiculous. I love it!

The Timmymatum, if you will
That was AWESOME!
Honestly, this looks a lot like it could have been an early Against the Odds deck.
The ideia of this deck is sweet. Some improvement may put it really playable.
Don't know if you missed this line or if you just chose not to do it, but at 45:50 you could attack with Kogla in order to destroy the Aura before playing Thorn Mammoth, denying opponent a card. That line does give opponent an opportunity to block with the Eidolon, but (1) I think it's worth it anyway even if they block, as you're pretty far ahead at this point, and (2) I would say there's a good chance they don't take that opportunity, once you've removed the card-draw value of a block.
Emergent Ultimatum is a oops I win card in commander where you can grab Demonic Consultation Demonic Tutor and Thassa’s Oracle
Hey I have a friend who created a deck wizards published for BO3 Historic (the one with hostage takers). Any chance we can see this on the series?
This video feels like it should have been a premonition for how Emergent Ultimatum plays now. Even without the 2-card "combos" it seems fine.
ummm, Santa? When did you start streaming? And on French Hen day?

god this deck is amazing
Seth forgot to take off his work uniform In this one
Only fitting that SantaOlive brings home the 5-ho-ho!
Woot woot. Finally!!!!
Every time he played cultivate instead of lotus cobra and set himself behind a turn, i broke a little bit inside...
Santa Olive? Hunter S Clause-son?
So this one SWIMS and does not SINK in the fishbowl?
Santa, probably better known as SantaOlive
You haven't said "Living the dream" once this series! should be the tagline: "Is it a meme, or are we living the dream?"
You should go for the 6th dream game at least with 5-0 decks.
16:00, you didn't punt either turn, you were fine. Cobra's only free if you play a fetch after. Maybe playing cobra would have been better overall, but who knows
Not sure if i like it better when the deck wins or loses
58:15 ... Christmas Miracle

Oh, hmm, huh, well...
This reminds me of Kenrith in EDH. You can't let Emergent Ultimatum resolve because it gets Demonic Tutor, Omniscience, and Expropriate. No matter how you cut those 3 cards you can't win because each of them combo with both of the other two. Exp + DemT is 1 turn, 1 tutor, and 3 permanents AT WORST. Exp + Omni is 1 turn, 3 permanents, and every spell in their hand AT WORST. Omni + DemT is the BEST spell in their deck AND it is free to play with every other spell in hand AT WORST. It literally just corners the market on value in any given game if it resolves, and the blowout from letting it land is so much that even if you manage to come back from it you will exhaust almost all of your resources to do so while your opponent keeps acrewing additional value from the time it was cast. I personally like Genesis Ultimatum more as a card, but Emergent Ultimatum just pulls the most powerful trio of haymakers out of your list to cover any given situation and it is SO good. Tbh, it is probably better than Tooth and Nail in many cases...
It’s a Christmas Memeracle!
I kinda dig this idea of a "fair" Emergent Ultimatum deck tbh
This Magic.gg deck is fun. The outfit is awesome!!!
