You can't even buy 4 Slickshot Show-Offs for the $50 budget you set - good job, you broke it.

Personally I think I'd save on the budget by cutting the foundry for mountains and one sokenzan. Having a manland is nice, but as you saw in game 2, being able to hit RR for double 1 drops turn 2 is pretty important.

Kiln fiend is one of my favorite “prowess” cards, and show-off is just that except it trades 1 power from the buff for haste AND flying.

A bit different since it doesn't have prowess. It'll always die to a 2 damage removal spell unlike monastery and has a bigger chance at getting your opponent since it gains +2 rather than one. On turns you would cast 2 spells instead of 3 damage you deal 5 and in the first couple of turns leads you to have a much faster lead against the mirror if they tapped out

@zaksaturday1693

Ай бұрын

@@jimzh7669 I think it's actually better in the match-up. Sure, it might die to a 2-damage removal, or the removal might be wasted with a monstrous rage in response. Because you plot and cast it like a storm, it makes your opponent either waste a turn holding up removal early in the game, in which case you might be able to plot more or just use another creature. There's something psychologically demanding to seeing it get plotted

Something that I think gets understated: Seth is a VERY good Magic player (in addition to a brewer of fun decks). I love the explanation at 17:05 about the non-intuitive play. Really helps newer players understand the intricacies of the game.

Going from "Writing a Timeless Crime Novel" in your last video to making a "Plot-ess" deck is really funny, lol

The fact that Slickshot has haste is what makes it a real threat. I've been playing mono red prowess in both Pioneer and Standard and having Codebreaker in MKM was a very welcome addition. Now, having a better threat that can come off plotting for free is just nuts. I'm glad it can make prowess a real deck in both formats, though.

"Breech the Mirror" is a new one

Probably my favourite deck on arena has been built around using Birgi to cast heaps of one cost draw/burn spells. Slickshot (and plot in general) essential become rituals that mean turn 3 wins become very much possible... Its probably just a worse version of mono red but I definitely find it conceptually more fun

Finally! Wizards made playable mono-red for standard /s

Turn 3 kill on turn 4 is really cool.

Was wondering how a gameplay vid from Seth could be sub 30 mins. . Now I understand. 😂

I love slickshot showoff. I need to go build storm in every format.

I have a similar list prepared but also wanted to try out Stingerback Terror as the top of the curve. Have you given that one a try?

Slickshot might be good in Gruul or Izzet too. Both offer protection. Izzet more spells to trigger things, Gruul for something like Picnic Ruiner for the pump meta.

Buying this on paper for sure, still love my dimir draw two budget deck

I feel like on average you would win more games if you replace those workshops with mountains than you gain by having the extra options in a control matchup.

True. The deck doesn't have mana to spare in the first 3-4 turns, so having even a single workshop as the land of the turn can potentially slow you down enough to lose the game.

Do you think it replaces Tenth District Legionnaire in Boros Heroic in Pioneer/Explorer?

I’ve been wanting to make this idea work with the urabrask that turns into a saga for explorer/pioneer. It’s put up some results with OTJ in the format!

Honestly I think the Foundries just get in the way. If you have nothing better to do than spend basically 3 mana for a bear, I think you were never going to get there. Plus the colorless lands are terrible.

I'll second this. The number of times he needed the red mana was high and their utility never got used. Sokenzhan makes for a good 1 or 2 of, but I don't think this deck wants anything but red sources.

The reasons to plot the bird is to protect it from (Sorcery-speed) removal and maybe to time it so it picks up a Faces counter. Is there another reason I'm missing?

That’s kinda my Pioneer Tournament Deck :D Kills turn 3 always 😂 gonna try Slickshot in the next rcq, wish me luck 💪🏼🙈

Playing Slickshot Showoff, even as a noob and with a suboptimal deck It's performing amazingly

Undeniably strong. Plot is really interesting and honestly healthy (in principle, whether or not Slickshot is busted) for this kind of aggro deck; it sacrifices hidden information in order to give the deck reach, to set up the unstoppable turn, or survive a bad draw. That's healthier for all involved instead of a deck that either definitely wins over the first 3 to 4 turns, or almost certainly loses. In actual Standard... B01 is already stupid fast. Faster than I think it should be if it's the 'default' and therefore intro to not-Commander Magic. Mono-Red and Boros convoke among others can already pretty much win by turn 3 or 4 if insufficiently answered. You already gotta run quite a lot of early removal, cheap wipes, incidental lifegain (assuming you don't have a payoff for it), or aggressive hand disruption. Plot is distinctly weak to hard counters, although it does make the 'pay extra' counters much much weaker. This seems like a better mono-Red but it remains to be seen if that will actually mean anything.

Such a sick deck to play

Great, mono red burn has even more toys now.

I was totally planning on doing this but was thinking I'd need it to be more midrange /control did not see this card draw in red!

Slickshot show-off is $19 now. It's not a $50 deck anymore. Still sick as hell. I also saw Callous Sell-Sword // Burn Together also plays well in this deck. Burn Together part of it.

I kinda like Twinferno for this deck. Double Strike and the occasional copying something when needed.

When your entire budget is four slickshots

15:35 they're just dead to you lightning striking their face EOT. They go to 16 from the strike. You cast slickshot, cast ruckus on swiftspear (3 power swiftspear, 3 power slickshot) Play with fire their face to 14 (4 power, 5 power) dealers choice of the second lightning strike or the antagonize to leave them at either -1 or -2 respectively

If it makes you feel better Seth, at 19:50, even if you had hit your 3rd land, you'd have brought opponent to 1. The land would have let you cast your other Play with fire for 2, both swiftspears would have been +1 each and show-off would have been +2, for a total of +6 damage and they were at 7 after the attack.

This deck looks so fun

A long time ago seth made a modern deck called boiling blood or something like that. I wonder if slickshot showoff could improve that one much cuz this deck feels very similar.

15:51 Playing with Firing lol

I see a near future where cut down is now a 4 of in every black deck in Bo1.

I would love to know how Seth gets draws like this, yet I go with the same cards, and I get 1 land. Mull to 6 and get 5 lands. Mull to 5 and get 0 lands.....for 4 games in a row. Land screw or flood constantly.

It's a bummer that you weren't matched up with CGB 😂😂

Can you slow down this deck using Final Showdown? The +1 causes all creatures to lose all their abilities, which strips Haste. All the sorceries used during the kill turn have to be played pre-combat, so the opponent will of course wait until you move to declare attackers step, then remove Haste. I guess that leaves them one turn to find an answer, and a deck like this most likely has access to sweepers and cards like Temporary Lockdown (not for much longer though) to slow it down. Still, the deck looks very consistent and can take down the opponent 20 to 0 in a single turn, which is insane. From recent memory, I've never seen a monored deck being able to do this. Even Ramunap Red back in Hour of Devastation was nowhere near this fast.

roiling vortex would be a good counter to this but honestly there might not even be enough time to cast it lol
