A Butterfly Flaps Its Wings... | Arena Open Day 2 | Outlaws Of Thunder Junction Draft | MTG Arena

[@charhurhur]

In an alternate universe there is a nummy who drafted 6 counterspells, 2 archive traps, a crab and a lock picker. While this excites me as a control player, that deck probably 0-2’d

[@Bootus123]

Double archive trap is BUSTED. I have a hard time seeing that deck losing lol.

[@justinrishel1742]

*with Cruel Ultimatum. That would've been the perfect nummy deck!

[@charhurhur]

@@justinrishel1742 how could I forget

[@Bootus123]

@@justinrishel1742 yeah, but black didn’t seem very open and I don’t think he’d be about splashing triple black lol. Ultimatum requires base black and splashing one of the off colors.

[@vesmolol9185]

Trap is busted, not bad

[@unchosenmtg]

These videos are more exciting that the premier of a movie, goddamit... The tears , smiles and friends we make along the way. Golden God 🤍

[@justinrishel1742]

You passed on the Cruel Ultimatum? There's no way you are real, my favorite control player/streamer would never do that. 😂

[@shuller4188]

its a bad card

[@samhu7585]

1:11:59 maybe slice sequence in response to the enchantment could draw a card? I’m not sure if the 2/2 can sacrifice itself with no enchantment and artifacts on board.

[@TheTaego]

He drew a card anyways, an island. Remember he played this town ain’t big enough earlier

[@haymakergames4737]

I hate to see the flood and screw for you bro. But it helps to know its not just us regular dudes that it happens to. Thats magic baby. 😢

[@ryonduck]

Just finished watching your Day 1 draft video and Day 2 immediately dropped, life's good

[@rubeshere]

Can't believe you didn't run the pylons. In a two color deck, it helps with mana issues quite a bit. One of my favorite lands in the format and the stats back it up

[@MartinGarcia-xv6et]

I drew 9 lands in a row yesterday, smashed my mouse as well. lol This game does this to me all the time…..

[@feildpaint]

idk why playing this draft feels more miserable when you're not in the lead compared to other drafts i've played. Not sure why

[@boontish1104]

Yeah. I lost a die roll today. Murdered my todler lol

[@zachariahhowell4342]

How many of those red blue decks started with Cruel Ultimatum though 😅?

[@maxkuozc]

Arena knows, you didn't draft the 3rd Three Steps Ahead. So now you're just streets behind.

[@brandonwatson699]

@Three steps of Head? :D

[@gilfilho5996]

14:44 do you say “nine steps ahead”? 😂😂😂

[@Kostly]

I had a 4 loss draft because of a random disconnect when I restarted MTGA both games were active and I couldn't play anything. Closed the stale match and finished the active one. They need to fix that shit.

[@christianpearse6901]

What software do you use to track your stats?

[@blackandwhite5967]

At 39:40, calamity only copies the base stat? Because otherwise you could have used your 1/1 to boost your flying creature, and when you copy you create two 3/3. But I imagine it doesn't work like that if you haven't done it

[@spacelord782]

I was thinking the same during the match. So I looked it up: "Each of the tokens copies exactly what was printed on the original creature and nothing else (unless that creature is copying something else or is a token; see below). It doesn’t copy whether that creature is tapped or untapped, whether it has any counters on it or Auras and Equipment attached to it, or any non-copy effects that have changed its power, toughness, types, color, and so on."

[@MetalCovers69]

My past 2 drafts ive drawn over 50% lands in the first 15 cards in almost every game

[@Wemfs]

the flood and screw seems to happen way too often. It's incredibly frustrating

[@jasonhamler4507]

Dang, this would have been the perfect mill deck.

[@Ptrrrrrrrr]

Wasn't opponent at 3 life, at least, at 40:35? His pests die, so he goes back up to 3, and if he had wanted to he could've gone up to 5 by chumping more.

[@StrangeTaleofSpencer]

I would have considered taking Fortune with Posse Boss in the deck and you already planning to splash white

[@nbrisendine457]

The turn before the calamity in 1st round 2nd game you missed 1 damage by not pumping with merc on flyer. It was riskier but you kinda had to go for it

[@andreasbrauer806]

didnt watch the whole video yet but isnt it a mistake early pack 2 and already in blue to pick up the first archive trap? i mean chances are good you get the flashback creature/mill creature etc.. i woul dhave icked it 100% over the 1/3

[@fpejanovic]

pick 2 ultimatum is correct. you could have just been red black with a bit of blue and had a much sweeter deck

[@michaedove3562]

1:10 seems like bouncing your 3/3 and the 5/4 is the better play seeing as you can plot the 3/3 and use the 2-damage spell to kill his guy after he recasts it. It didn't end up mattering since he drew the Lively Dirge, but then you have the Cacturantula locked down and can kill the 5/4, which seems better than allowing the 6/5 to be active. Anyway, sorry to see you get so many mana problem games. Sucks when you have that many games where you don't get to play.

[@Lollerpwn1337]

Thought so to, if he did that it seems like were left with the 3/3 vs a 2/2. Probably still not winning but bouncing the stop cold just seems like a play that always loses in that spot.

[@think2one3]

first game, is what happens to me most of the time i play OTJ, i build so many great decks and most of it i lost bcs i got flooded, its so frustrating

[@Pravinoz]

2 traps, crab, and lockpicker RIP

[@Lucyfire64]

on game 2 40:00 wouldn't saddling the peerless ropemaster win you the game? bounce 2 creatures and force 3 blocks leaves opponent with 0 board and at 3 life

[@Ptrrrrrrrr]

Ropemaster only bounces tapped creatures.

[@carlalexander2]

I would have ended up with a grixis cruel ultimatum/2x archive trap deck

[@aaronmartineau]

Game 1 reminded me why I never play Arena anymore and only paper

[@nbrisendine457]

Woulda been on bandits haul, splash at knifepoint for grixis crimes.

[@dougisacat]

Bro passed splinter twin smh. I’ve personally found the lockpick trap combo to be quite powerful

[@terraqueo89]

The draws were horrible! So sorry, Nummy! Next time you'll get that 2k, don't you worry about it.

[@TheDihaltus]

Love seeing an add for something that says out of stock...

[@RW77777777]

i guess the only change would be the Highway robbery. im sure the shuffler would give it to you in a 2 Island opener

[@mikemcintosh9933]

I would have cut Redrock Sentinel. Now to watch the games and see how it performs.

[@zzman1490]

If it’s any consolation, that second game where you missed one damage didn’t change. Those pests gain them life when they die, so they could block the Calamity and survive even if they were at 4 hp (38:33)

[@Padishar7]

The pests give life as a death trigger, not instantly like lifelink. The opponent would lose before those triggers even go to stack.

[@zzman1490]

@@Padishar7 great point! I stand corrected

[@danielbates9059]

Enjoy your content each day I know it wears on you at times but you do a great job.

[@RazzleDazzle23]

Could have been a solid Green/White deck

[@truxcer]

55:01 most of these cards shouldn't be in deck in the first place

[@ThatGuy-ng7et]

Thank you! Those geyser drakes did a whole lot of nothing a good chunk of the time. Maybe they would’ve been better had he picked up the archive traps but 3 is excessive for this deck

[@calculatrguy]

Mandelbrot Set Your a Rorscach test on fire

[@AlkonKomm]

cutting skewer and robbery in your U/R spells deck to keep cards I consider virtually unplayable like redrock sentinel in your deck is wild to me, am I missing sth?

[@punch_box5487]

Redrock sentinel is secretly really good.

[@James-tk2yl]

Redrock Sentinel is gas

[@AlkonKomm]

I mean, I can see it doing sth in a green ramp deck where you might run out of gas but are left with a ton of mana, but when do you ever want to use that ability in U/R spells instead of just casting a highway robbery or skewering sth for 1 mana

[@muiliethet1540]

The 1 point of damage with the geyser drake / calamity combo would not have mattered, since you have to attack with calamity to generate the attacking drake tokens and they had pest infestation tokens which heal 1 on death, with which they could have blocked calamity to gain additional life right?

[@vincentdrouin3545]

They would lose the game with the trigger on the stack assuming they had 4 life.

[@muiliethet1540]

@@vincentdrouin3545 Ah right that makes sense, I was thinking of it like lifelink, but I suppose indeed opponent would lose before the stack trigger happens, thanks for explaining!

[@ColemanYoutube]

That’s magic baby!

[@SpiritOfLenin]

Kinda lucky to get 4 rares from pack 1 picks. BR might not be the best color combination in the set, but being gifted so much stuff in those colors helps.

I know ill never make it far in a limited toirnament because theres never a world om not snap picming cruel ultamatum turn 2

why was using calamity on the ropemaster in game 1, round 2 not the play, the etb would have removed two pests

He even said only returns tapped creatures lol.

Pack 1 pick 2... U know u should have... When u did the pick, everyone knew the result😢

[@Kostly]

Feels bad man, but, nothing you can do about those draws. :/ And they were consistently bad draws. You were at a disadvantage every single match just based on draws. Oh well, on to the next opportunity.

[@chenhan22]

i feel like drafting blue red was the mistake… unfortunately

[@EricEldredge91]

passing archive trap(s)...noooo....

[@fredt1983]

Hmm, so basically lost to cheap creatures, decks with tons of removal, and 3 steps ahead never being around when they put down 5-7 drops and the like sadly. Steed didn't really get a chance to shine ever either. Rough.

[@Gnilson5]

Feels Bad Ltd.

[@Storbuki]

Wishy Washy...

[@Bccccz]

~Game 2 of Match 1~ You were way further away on damage than one. Each pest that blocks the calamity will gain him a life, so he could have blocked with up to four pests and put you five damage short.

[@TheTaego]

Life gain is a trigger, won’t resolve if oppo is at 0

Didnt matter if you missed damage in game 2 of match 1, they gained life from blocking with the pests anyway.
