The Fastest Game of Magic: the Gathering Possible [WORLD RECORD] 

Getting a ban warning for scooping too fast to Sparky is the most Arena thing I've ever seen

What a journey! I was sitting on the world record throne for a long time now, but to see someone actually made the weeklong effort to try and beat the record with a faster strategy fills me with joy. Thank you for the shoutout and congratulations for the stunning achievement! And I'll see if I can take the crown back.

God that unsummon was SOUL CRUSHING lmao

*Update Post* It didn't take a week to change the whole speedrun meta. The leaderboard is currently dominating by three runs with three different methods. 1. Channel / Lightning Serpent - 26 sec. (Claris) 2. Channel / Chromatic Orrery /Crackle with Power - 26 sec. (Calori78) 3. Channel / Charbelcher - 27 sec. (BuGfi5h) Only one of these can be the true optimum way of doing it 🤔 --- You can speed up the draw animation by holding another card from your hand while drawing. Thank you so much for the people pointing this out, this is super helpful even for regular play. 🙏 Other methods from comments: - Channel / Goblin Charbelcher / All MDFC - Turn 1 MDFC Belcher with 3xDark Ritual (good luck with this one) - Mana Dork / Channel / Lightning Serpent - Channel / Chromatic Orrery / Crackle with Power --- Shoutout to Dr. Wurstpeter for posting his highly optimized run and making this into a real challenge. Some of my long-time viewers may know that this video idea has been on my mind for quite some time.

The storytelling here is truly next level, given the sheer amount of footage you must have. Congrats on the world record!

The music from Home added at 18:50 like SummoningSalt's video litteraly gave me chill like this was the most important speedrun world record ever.

The summoning salt chime broke me to pieces 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

THE SUMMONING SALT AT THE END YES

Unrestricted vintage is so fast, it is the world’s most expensive game of rock paper scissors ever.

Slight improvement: you could see the former record is holding the land card while waiting for their turn, this would speed up the draw animation actually :). Also that is super useful when playing Arena normally.

That actually was a lot of fun to watch! 30 seconds is impressive!

6:15 Sparky has feelings CONFIRMED Also, when you showed the Speedrun page, i almost feared the top spot would be Matt Turk

I've been watching MTGGoldfish for years. This may be the most gripping and best video yet. Certainly the finest from Brewer's Kitchen! Bravo!

With Brothers War, Charbelcher looks like the next strat to try! Channel into belcher into belcher activation is just 3 actions, doable on turn 2 and skips the need for attack animations.

There are things I expect from this channel: Seth not being able to pronounce words Krim not being able to read cards Phil not being able to keep arena from crashing to shenanigans. The breakdown of the insanity grind that is speedrun routing and using brute force to get acceptable RNG is not one of them. This was beautiful to watch.

The nod to Summoning Salt at the end... * chef's kiss *

Love the summoning salt music! Cant have a world record video without it 😁

WE'RE NOT WORTHY!! Phil, you're a legend. The play; the creativity; the focus; the persistence... but to do all of that and make it into a great, entertaining video?! I think just 2 weeks before the end of the year we just saw THE magic moment of the year.

Hilarious approach at MTG. That Unsummon of Sparky made me laugh out so hard though, sorry. Has something wholesome about it, that even lil' Sparky can ruin the most evil wizard's perfect hand with a good ol' alpha common.

Sparky is truly the best companion to play with. Never tilts and always up for another :D

People rope/grief endlessly on Arena: WotC is clueless about what they could ever do to stop such abuses. Phil abuses the shit out of Sparky: WotC takes immediate action to address a very real problem affecting very real AI.

Incredible Job again Phil, I've been waiting and waiting for the next video. I can totally see why. Genuinely addicted to your content. Keep it up, the dedication show and I can't stop.

How would you speedr... oh. Of course.

Great job Phil, you're a hero now

Yknow, I was thinking about when there was going to be another arena video with Phil, but now I see what took him so long: hours and hours of conceding and re-joining 😂 you’re the best Phil

You can do the dragonstorm combo quicker with ancient silver dragon and two terror of the peaks hitting for exactly 21 after the first triggers resolve.

Phil you are probably my favorite MTG creator and quickly becoming one of my favorite creators in general. Love the video! Combining MTG and speedruns was amazing.

legitimately cheered out loud when you finally got it. In 20 short minutes this went froms goofy meme to a triumph of human spirit

This has to be the best magic video on youtube! Such good editing and so much effort put into the actual game play itself. So it took days of game play, but how long did you edit it for? Super curious.

The summoning salt music at the end was the cherry on top. Great video!

Absolutely amazing video as always. Best produced MTG content by far! Must be so time consuming - the editing part, not just the trials haha 😂

Congrats on finally being able to make a speedrun video!

Your content is always absolutely insane, amazed at the quality you achieve and the effort you put in. Thank you, and congrats on the record!

Happy to see new content from you :) Dedication at it's best :)

Simply amazing content you’ve put out here. Clever and original. Keep up the very good work! ❤

This was incredible content! Great work and please, PLEASE never stop, Phil!

What an incredible video! A fantastic concept executed so well!

This is premium content. When I heard the summoning salt music, man the feels I get. It's such a speed running culture thing, hard to explain. Good stuff man!

Very cool change of pace, i salute your commitment to grinding this out :)

That was great. Summoning Salt music was just....great seasoning.

This was a really good video. All the effort put into it shows.

If you hold up a land while your drawing it speeds the animation and saves time

The summoning salt music really had me excited for your WR. Congrats! This is an excellent video!

This is some kick ass entertainment! Thanks for all your hard work! I guess somebody had to do it. Nice toss over to Summoning Salt as well. Please do more of this style video. I'm your new fan now.

Normally my fastest games is when I turn one thought seize and they concede on the spot 😂

Great video. Hadn't ever thought of anyone even considering something like speedrunning magic.

This was a journey and I am glad you invited us along for the ride.

GLÜCKWUNSCH! It’s always amazing to see your content, hope it won’t stop too early 🥰

I'm so happy the (abbreviated) entire journey was uploaded so we could get a feel for the various testing

Phil you're a genius. This was my favorite video of yours by far. Thank you for your hard work and dedication on this!

Your videos are just so damn clean. I love it. That was a super fun one. Good job on the record too!

that sparky unsummon noooooooooooooooooooooooo

The Summoning Salt music was perfect at the end with all the standard questions I have come to expect. Loved this video and I am sorry I laughed at the unsummon. I can't imagine the countless hours you put in to have it come so close to the record only for it to be pulled away at the last second like that.

Gratz on the WR, you earned it :D

Great job! Was infuriating to not see you use the "hold up a land to speed up drawing card animation" trick though haha

Love every single video. Great job. I'm going to go back and watch some older ones

Good job. Always love your videos. While I hope you re-upload this snipped into a short SummoningSalt riff for luls, you did it and are now in speed running history. Congratulations ~♡

Phil I aspire to have the amount of knowledge, creativity, and perseverance to pull off this kind of feat. Well done 👏

this is true GERMAN EFFICIENCY

This was TRULY amazing, I love this video 😤👌💯

Legitimately my favorite mtg related video on the internet. So good

As always such a good video and worth the wait

That exact minion of the mighty combo happened to me during historic event :(

Wow this was crazy, I never expected to get so into this but I shouldn't be surprised when it's you, cause all your videos are edited so perfectly lol

Dude I love you. Your videos are the best. Your voice is addicting (you should get paid for voice acting) and your video editing is amazing. I love watching your content!

Love the summoning salt music coming in at the end

It’s quite funny that the answer to the speed run was similar to a deck Seth had already played. Great content!

Awesome job dude! That an amazing accomplishment and glad arena didn't suspend you.

That same day someone got a 26s Damn, the speedrunning community is something XD Turn 1 Forest into Elvish Mistic (perfect sparky RNG, only plays a forest) Turn 2 Channel > Mountain into Lightning Serpent with X=19(only 18 is needed, but its faster clicking +5 x4 then -1 so you dont die) > Attack for lethal

What a great and creative video! And the guy you beat even put a message in here! Handshakes all around!

I love the iconic speedrun video essay music at the end. Perfect execution

The music at the ending... what a man of culture!

What a crazy video! Great as always

Summoning Salt music got me 😂😂 great video

What a nice video bro, that was awesome

thank you so much for this. I loved it

Very cool, so much effort! Good job!

This is top content, expert storytelling and editing. The Phil-dunk animation, the "you say there's a chance " reference and the sheer pace of the video. Another masterpiece. Thanks for taking the time for perfection, rather than churning out a half-baked video 2 times a day! Und, wer ist nicht selbst ein Wurstpeter??

Love the summoning salt ending 😂

Phil you are the best. An Absolutely mad lad and we love ya for it. I am wondering if anything came from the whole "stop scooping" thing, did you have to actually respond?

Very entertaining video, all of the work payed off to get that record

Congrats on the world record @Brewer's Kitchen!

Never thought I’d see a magic speed run, wasn’t disappointed

Like button tapped! *Thanks for the Content* !

You deserve a raise for this, so dedicated. Best content on the channel.

1:22 haha lachflash wie man das einfach eins zu eins übersetzten kann

This is the best edited content out there, nothing even remotely close.

The Summoning Salt music was the perfect way to end this amazing video

Seriously bro. Your content is supreme!

Your videos are always top notch, but this was a masterclass.

Love the Summoning Salt musical cue!

Awesome shit. Congratulations! Well done!

This video is sooooooooooo good! Well done!

13:04 "Let's call it some stupid name, play 64 cards and feel good about crushing Sparky!"

I kinda had the most joy of you just spelling that Name Dr. Wurstpeter. As someone from Austria it is just awesome to have a mostly english video but then something like this happens and i am just happy.

I don't comment often but that was an awesome journey, thanks for sharing it with us! I also thought of the leylines/opalescence deck but it seems opalescence is not legal in any of arena's formats. Keep up the excellent work!

Theoretically paper% would just be two people sitting down and one saying “I concede” instantly

the fact that you used summoning salt music for this. Sir, you are a legend.

Good stuff man. Keep going

Fantastic content!
