Celebrity Chaos Draft | MagicCon Amsterdam

Noted Chaos Draft aficionado Ben Bateman brings some of his favorite creator friends to the Mana Stage for a Chaos Draft you won’t want to miss. After seeing all the picks at the Mana Stage, head over to Creator Central to watch the matches throughout the rest of the day.

[@Bubblenuts13]

Dude massive props to Gavin, he was drafting on a quick timer, answering questions, adding little facts as he would receive packs, and explaining his reasonings for his picks. His composure handling all that was very impressive.

[@TheAmateurDesperado]

Gavin is a gem. He deserves Rosewater's position when he eventually steps down. Honestly, no one else at Wizards is as passionate as Gavin

[@hodlsage8968]

What ??? The dude blew the whole draft apart ? It is a chaos draft, not an intro into drafting ?? He caused major hate drafting and gave the others sitting next to him info they should not have. Worst idea ever!

[@hodlsage8968]

@TheAmateurDesperado point taken... However this was one bad idea and it was just awkward to see the look on the other drafters faces. Gavin has a bit of a god complex brewing or it was just ego talking or just a silly idea and no one stopped him. I get it he has passion....

[@CheckOutMyPokemons]

​@@hodlsage8968 Bro its a fucking live show, it's a bit of fun not a serious tournament. He added some great colour commentary and a little bit of fun draft I do about each set.

[@hodlsage8968]

@CheckOutMyPokemons Sure sure... He did help out the new players... But for those of us that draft and love Chaos, imagine if he just shut his yapper and allowed us to watch like a normal draft. OR maybe he should have waited until AFTEE the draft portion then commented on his build.... Just saying it was legit odd and almost egotistical...

[@andrestorres1799]

Do we get to see the actual matches?

[@Shendue]

I'd like to be able to see the games. Seeing just the picks without even the assembled deck is kinda weird.

[@FiniteMTG]

Agreed. From what I pieced together about Kibler’s deck, he was on Blinding Souleater, Spellbound Dragon, Quicksilver Dagger, Fable and… Ogre Sentry? Not much to go on, lol

[@AndrewSlee9]

love chaos and love these creators! hilarious to have one seat narrated in front of everyone

[@hodlsage8968]

@@AndrewSlee9 That was a horrible idea...

[@chrisburgos8672]

Spice8Rack and Pleasant Kenobi on the same pod! awesome

[@MrZarin1337]

Chrome Mox 1st booster 🤣

[@magicpesto]

So were any of these games recorded or at least reported on? Would love to see how it ended up

[@Guevon_Pajaro]

I'd like to see the games - - draft is a lotta fun, but it's such a tease to never get to see ANY of the games from this chaos draft (as low power as chaos can be)

[@Daybed4448]

Loved this! Wanna see the matches tho

[@STS-qi1qy]

A great lineup but the best part is just watching Gavin try to fit his narration into the time.

[@chrisburgos8672]

where are the games?

[@FiniteMTG]

Very cool to see the creator of Mystery Booster navigate a chaos draft! Also, as one of the few people roughly as invested in chaos draft as Gavin, I was surprised to see some decisions I disagreed with! I think I'd lean Angel of Mercy over Crossbow Infantry and I'd very likely pair my Davriel with Vendetta, but above all, I'd open the Mirrodin pack last! Staying open by opening it first is nice, but I think maximizing your chances to play a bomb you open in pack 3 is even better!

[@thecaiogama]

I am a simple person, I see Spice I click thumbs up

[@cjb3527]

Are the games anywhere to watch, and if not, do we know who won?

[@FiniteMTG]

Sounds like Kibler won. Hard to bet against him in general, let alone when he’s got a Fable haha

[@cjb3527]

@@FiniteMTG Cheers, for the update

[@jamescampbell2353]

Very excited to see what Olivia makes

[@marsimoto8980]

I really enjoy Gavin's commentary!

[@famousstranger8468]

Gavin really is just a tall young Sheldon

[@ticklord]

Are the games not live anywhere?

[@iansvoice5774]

Damn! Would love to see those matches!

[@tomserdar412]

I love that this is available! thank you

[@Baex21]

Seeing Ben makes me miss The Schmoedown.

[@AvrgWes]

Gavin bending and shuffling the cards is really triggering the ish out of me. 😅

[@Domekarl]

shuffling the sh out of this cromemox

[@AlmostSkillfull]

The odds of even being able to open the same rare in two of three random packs from different sets is so low let alone actually opening the same rare that the double Stormbind is just so silly. Like having two of the same rare from different sets opened at a table with all packs from different sets, happens seldom enough, but the same player opening both, especially when its only ever been printed twice is just nutty. Let alone that its a chaos draft bomb and he passed it twice in different directions is just too perfect. Like I really wish I was smart enough to do the math on this but omg.

[@nickolaslillogodoy3496]

Mad respect for Gavin

[@craigvankempen]

I need to know where Brian got his shirt and where I can get one.

[@Thariorn]

Very weird watching a "popular people draft" apparently we can't even watch their games???

[@puffcap_]

bending the shit out of those cards jesus

[@GRAFsTube]

Random thought, looking for more untapped dual land card options. Can we expected the following within the next two years? As [Land] would enter the battlefield you may reveal two non-land cards from your hand if you don't [Land] enters tapped. Tap: Add Color 1 or Color 2

[@MatthewProctor]

I like it. Fixing but you've gotta give up information

[@bodramdolbert8158]

Maloooooone

[@Varler_]

Who won it all in the end? Are any of the matches recorded?

[@101ablerudeboy]

Why is Gavin wearing taco bell decor from the 90s as a shirt?

[@Maxime7101]

Can we see the games?

[@Nicklas_Danielsson]

Creator Central to watch the matches? How where?😮

[@shawnkayian8241]

a little confused why that dude isnt wearing a shirt but nice1

[@I_am_special1]

Bait and switch

[@helhal]

Who won?

[@bomdoboy]

Haha what everybody hears his draftpicks 😂

[@dannil9878]

Where’s the game?

It's embarrassing how much I simp for Taalia Vess

"Celebrity" is really being pushed to its limits with this cast.

[@DabCityyy]

They're stars in my book

Defs magic celebrity's

[@TheEvilCheesecake]

should they have invited you instead?

[@Guevon_Pajaro]

THANKS JEFF, what an enlightened opinion 😂

Can't even pony up some cash for on screen graphics?

Who is this lady hosting? She weird lol

[@tiagogoncalves1135]

She's Filipa Carola, a Mtg streamer. English isn't her first language maybe that's why you find it weird

[@egeiger08]

Please more chaos draft content, please less Gavin Verhey.

[@muffinoffun1843]

Never seen so much soy concentrated in one place before.

[@jamescampbell2353]

What does that mean

[@Daybed4448]

I had burger the other day that was made of soya and it was pretty dense

[@TheEvilCheesecake]

actual zombie comment but keep "talking" i guess.

[@darthpapa]

The irony does not escape me with the Pro P*ine pin worn by the likes of Spice..

[@orgazmo686971]

10:00 DOESN'T TAKE CHROME MOX????

[@monogreen]

Loxodon Warhammer is one of the best cards in limited. Period.

[@collinbeal]

There's no point in rare drafting the set, as it's winner-takes-all.

[@zaklawrence-earey6832]

Chrome Mox isn't that good in these sort of formats
