First Draft To Try And Win $2000! | Arena Open Day 2 Draft 1 | Murders At Karlov Manor Draft | MTGA 

Self commentary hah!

@thoptercrew Exactly what I was thinking. @haumph I appreciate the editing / cutting out of waiting times.

hahaha true

Thanks a bunch!

I try to keep the salt contained but I'm human so it might come out from time to time!

Yeah Out Cold saved me this draft for sure!

Yeah if this was paper magic, I'd frame that Out Cold for sure.

It's interesting to see mtg arena doesn't have layered visual effects of ward and the 'frost breath' effect from 'out cold' on the card when both effects are in the creature

Out cold is just instant speed supreme verdict

That's what I was going for so I'm glad you feel that way!

Welcome aboard!

Thanks!

That means a lot coming from a rank 1 player! Thanks!

Yeah I play a ton offline as well and I wish that one was for the RU-vids!

Thanks a bunch

Yeah that would have been. Stupid sneaky lands!

Yeah I kind of want to see the "cards I'm happy with" and then I can figure out the last few cards during deckbuilding. (Ideally i don't have to do dip into those cards!)

It was the MVP FOR SURE!

Thanks!

Out Cold was my bomb haha

woohoo!

Yeah it was a bit unintuitive but i absolutely needed to make a big board impacting play on the following turn.

Yeah I think the case of the filched falcon is a little more synergistic but I felt it was more important for my deck to have the bounce spell at that moment. Early on I probably take the enchantment.

Yeah it was a very tight one!

If I was live streaming that would have been pretty funny to have people deliver me food. Event is over though!

Geoff! How's it going? This is Justin from Sunnyside years ago lol

Yeah great games!

Yeah suuuuuper close. Out Cold FOR THE WIN!

Thank you!

Glad you enjoyed!

Thank you!

It was a good time!

Yeah that was a nailbiter. Thanks!

Quit disrespecting Out Cold like that!

It was PERFECT for our deck.

Man if i were the opononets i would have tilted so much so many bail outs from out cold when the game was over was crazy

Yeah they were CLUTCH!

I rewatched the draft and to be honest, R/W would have also been totally fine given that I would have gotten a second helix and a 10th district in the last pack. I'm not sure if blue was super open but nobody was in U/R specifically. Still happy with the result of course.

I also feel this way when I watch people like Jean Emmanuel-Depraz and Nathan Steuer play.

Absolutely the MVP of my deck.

Glad you enjoy it!

I think there are justifications to play Out Cold like 3 different ways that turn. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what was ideal but with the rope ticking down, I just went with the safest line. I could have mainphased it to force them to topdeck removal as well.

@@haumph I think it's one of those cases where if decklists were open, then the right thing to do is to run through each and every possibility - but you're right, in absence of that knowledge, it's probably tough to know what "correct" means here. I didn't consider the main-phase option either. Really hope you keep posting Arena Open videos btw! All the best from Australia.

Thanks and welcome

TY!

Thank you!

Welcome back!

Thanks!

Out Cold MVP

Yeah the rare looks a lot cooler than it plays out.

I'd frame it if i could!

Awesome! Thank you!

Just finished editing it. Will be out tomorrow!

Thank you!

Gadgeteer sadly just isn't good enough. I regret taking it over the bubble smuggler honestly. Crime Novelist is nearly unplayable unless you're all in on clues. Really need a Detective's Satchel to get it going. I explained why I didn't go for the 2nd filched falcon as I wanted to be more proactive and desperately needed interaction in the form of the 1U bounce spell. Drafting is very fluid and I can't just always make picks in a vacuum and instead need to address the needs of my deck particularly in pack 3. This is why draft is also awesome. Gl in your future drafts!

Soooo good

Yes! Thank you!

One mana short

Out Cold was my bomb!

Out now!

Very much so!

Thanks!

Energy levels go up when there are stakes!!!

Haumphing the competition!

This would be great if I knew anything about soccer haha

I approve this message.

Thank you!

I wanted to give myself a two-turn window and lock down the fliers for two turns to re-evaluate future turns but it may have been incorrect (hence my tank). If i main phase out cold, my 4/4 eats their 3/2 and their 3/3 eats my 2/2 and they go to 2. they're left with just a 3/3 with my board of 4/4 and person of interest in play. so any singular creature isn't enough. the funny part is I lose if I mainphase Out Cold since they specifically drew the sanguine savior. They would have blocked my 4/4, given it life link, take 2 from my person of interest, gain 3 from eliminator and attack back with 3 fliers. A removal spell for my person of interest would also have prevented me from winning on the following turn. I definitely took the more conservative route since my thought process was: out cold their fliers, draw a card, then i still have a solid attack and can drop my person of interest + whatever i draw off of clue + draw for turn. i'd imagine it'd be very difficult for them to come back from that point as well. very close call though and it's very possible I should have just tried to end the game asap.

Hey man thank you so much for the typed our response. I hope to be as good as you one day!!!!@@haumph

Thanks!

Sure was!

Good choice!

Glad you enjoyed!

Caught me off guard too!

Yes it's a bonus sheet card but it's technically an uncommon so I just call it as such.

The List itself has changed from previous sets, so there's less cards overall. It's really more like a bonus sheet, but they show off enough that it's worth noting them when you see them. It's 1.5% of the time you'll get a specific card in any pack, which is low but still achievable.

Grats on the great finish!

Great point. I think my deck specifically wanted the 2 power creature as I was looking to be a more aggressive tempo oriented u/r deck rather than the typical controlling detective's satchel u/r decks. but the average u/r deck probably wants the strider more. the strider still could have been the pick.

We recently played together, I was the guy with Tolsimir and Agrus Kos hehe

Thanks!

I believe they had an artifact land

For reals!

Thanks!

Lets goooooo

So if you choose only one target for glint weaver and that target gets removed in response, then the ability fizzles and no life is gained. Opponent should have spread the counters to prevent that from happening. I actually didn't know about this until it happened to me a few days ago!

If all of a spell or ability's targets are illegal as it tries to resolve, it fizzles entirely. They only chose one target for the glint weaver ETB, so removing that one target countered the entire ability.

@@haumph Ah yeah I see - it fizzles entirely. Makes sense. That could have made the difference for them!

@@roxannekrogh4228 Thanks for your response too!

Thanks 😆

@@haumph I got zero wins on Day 2 🙄🤷‍♂️ I was so TILTed after that day 😒

Yeah when I took a look at the deck after I edited the video, I was like wow this is a 6.5/10 at best.

I have a short memory hah

I don’t though

Long time no see!

@@haumph :)

l33t!

You can just use Chase to push damage and get a clue for Maverick

Combat tricks are so much better attacking a tapped out opponent instead of blocking against open mana

This was prob the only “mistake” I saw other than that you played pretty damn well all draft long

Thanks!
