@37:29 now that was just funny >< Perfect freaking timing hahahaha "Kept a sketchy hand" immediately gets 6 lands offered :P

[@danielbolduc1976]

Really enjoyed seeing something other than red or white artifact aggro.

[@alexvalentine856]

I just want to say it makes me feel a lot better about my frequent misplays to see players much better than me make them too. Excellent content, keep it up!

[@justinrishel1742]

I don't blame you at all for going Boros, Azorius or Izzet when it's open, those are literally the only three color combinations I've trophied with. Black I've had a losing a record every time but once, and dinos was great for me one time but I had Hualti and a few of the rare dinos so that made it easy.

[@brofenix]

Interesting! Wow, what a crazy draft~ I was wondering if you could have splashed the two Nicanzil's, using the 4 Poison Dart Frogs and maybe finding 1 Island with Compass Gnome.

[@Alectrick1992]

Loved the title 😂

[@rogue2020]

I've had a long freaking day today and this title made me have a good, hearty laugh. Thanks Kenji!

[@ajohnymous282]

4:16 cache notably curves into a 7/6 with glyph on turn 3 because of the counters

[@omygas]

The splashed carnorsuar might just have been for the discard ability. They could have been short on interaction.

[@NoFunNoHope]

I've had some good luck using blue/green myself. Explorer's cache is a 1st pick for me.

[@drtslash]

This set has made me think about the hand smoother a lot. I assume they playtest the set without this tool and get a totally different picture of how the format plays. I guess Sierkovitz already demonstrared how (not that) different things actually are between bo1 and bo3 on arena (if i remember correctly), but man the feeling.

[@DaxRaider]

i had some CRAZY simic decks with some crazy rares that went to trophy without any problem xD

[@clagen86]

All hail the mighty hand smoother

[@UninformedProduction]

So sadge, the other day I opened the mythic blue green 4/4 explore creature into the 2 mana explore creature into no other explore :( had to play red/blue and I wanted to splash the 4/4 but couldn't get enough fixing :(

[@ChereraTaguato]

that title though hahaha

[@Arghore]

Nice, and the result we were after ^^

[@Trev0413]

2 explore always gets there :) gg!

[@briansamoukian8966]

Question. At 23:40 when you double explored I was thinking you were going to dump the axejaw to find a land since you were falling behind on plays but instead you kept it to make the nicanzil larger. Do you feel like that was potentially a misplay? It looked to me like you needed more cards on board but were getting limited by your mana base

[@Bischoffshof]

Lovely throwback on the title

[@TrueDruidTheRogue]

Thank you Nummy!

[@irifhir]

I get that reference!

[@Jawzah]

21:39 -- whoa - I wish i could afford to cut a frog from a draft deck some day.. (I would have not cut the fourth frog from that deck .. 7 drops landcyclers there after all -maybe cut a land instead as explore can kind of keep land drops going and sometimes - just sometimes - is better when you don't hit a land).

[@baigpigpig]

yea so terrible not to play all 4 frogs.

[@vinni522]

The title game is strong on this one.

[@patrickmaloney7296]

Only old-balls MtG players get the reference in the thumbnail.

[@BetaJim22]

I was wondering how many people would get that reference myself. Not sure how many viewers play paper and are old enough to remember that cheater. Glad to see I'm not the only old and wrinkly one here.

[@motorologist]

It feels like Council of Echoes could have been printed without the restriction of descend without issue.

[@narfidy444]

There was a mega clean vampire deck in this seat here. But we needed someone to go UG for science

[@williameichenberg4632]

Best title ever

[@Journeyman2585]

I didn't even catch it until I saw your comment lol. "two explores" hahaha hahaha

[@HeraldOfMetal]

@@Journeyman2585 As a non-native English speaker, can you tell me what i am missing about the title?

[@Journeyman2585]

@@HeraldOfMetal There was a guy who got caught cheating on video at a magic tournament. He illegally played too many lands and when someone mentioned it he said "2 explores". Explore is a card that allows you to play an extra land for the turn when cast. It's kind of inside baseball I guess.

[@HeraldOfMetal]

@@Journeyman2585 Ah! Thanks!

[@juliansimaro5383]

56:09 I don't think attacking with all works, right? They crew with flyer, chump both 5 damage creatures, and then kill you with the flyer. Was there any out?

[@MI24CL3]

Froggo has reach. The opponent's play Numot was reading was rather that they would block with the flyer and 1/1 and hope they get a creature to crew the vehicle for unblockable damage

[@juliansimaro5383]

@@MI24CL3 That's what I meant, if Numot attacks with all, they block with vehicle and snail and then kill with flyer on the next turn. Because he attacked with both frogs, reach doesn't matter. So attacking with all does not work

[@bchkiller98]

do you think treasure map is an auto include in just about every sealed deck? i built a red white go fast deck in sealed, i did not feel like it had a place.

[@NumotTheNummyYT]

I would say so, yes. Even in an aggro deck being able to set up draws and then get extra cards is worthwhile, even if a bit slow

[@motorologist]

It seems like people are actually liking this format more than they were a week ago. Am I interpreting people's statements in the comments correctly? Is this really the case? I do actually feel that way. I like the potential 2-for-1s with the craft cards and the way cheap removal, cheap value creatures, and lifelink can combat the aggro decks.

[@jamesmathieu7155]

I've never switched to best of three before . I know its how magic is intended, sideboarding seems strange to me

[@niccopaoletti3143]

I was pasta ai sugo my " good game " was intented such as have a good fun i'm your big fun yummy

[@NumotTheNummyYT]

[@BetaJim22]

Ya, usually I interpret "good game" on the first turn as "Good luck, have fun" myself. Not sure why so many people seem to think it's BM. You are not alone my friend. This is one of the many issues with the current emote communication in Arena.

[@danielquinn7667]

2 explores 🤣🤣🤣

[@rodintremboy6459]

just goes to show green blue is great. as long as you dont go up against any jeskai color artifact decks! 🤣 maybe it should have a separate matchmaking queue lol.

[@user-fb7rx4vw7o]

“Good game”

[@NumotTheNummyYT]

your go

[@chadmeyer8287]

Usually don't comment much but had to comment on 2 explores. Great title and what a loser bert n cheaty is. Dude made a I'm sorry post and talked about how he gave the money back and how sorry he was I commented if he was really sorry he would have given back the power 9 to 2nd place and I got blocked in like 2 seconds.

[@osmin2703]

I wonder why do you need 17 lands with 3 frogs and low curve.

[@salomar77]

Pick 1, pack 2: why didn’t you take the flail? You weren’t locked in blue yet, right?

[@salomar77]

Kenji, question: why are you running 17 lands with 4 frogs?

[@NumotTheNummyYT]

Look, I just want to let my froggies run free in a big track of land. IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?

[@Naya_3193]

I think you mulligan to agressively, sure maybe a hand with 4 lands is to slow and you risk to lose, but mulligan to 5 is a 90% garanteed loss. Even more so in this new era of limited where every card is value. Thanks for the videos as always man keep it going! Cheers.

[@olafthemoose9413]

I'd rather take a good 5 on the draw than a bad 6. On the play going to 5 is rough

[@michaelwambaugh6726]

I cant imagine giving advice to a magic all star 🤣

[@Naya_3193]

@@michaelwambaugh6726 just my humble opinion, I might be wrong ofc

[@NumotTheNummyYT]

advice is welcome! I simply ban them ;)

[@WashtubScout]

It has been said that new players don't mulligan enough and pros mulligan too much. Nummy has ascended

[@nabazanwar6326]

🐸🐸🐸🐸

[@DX100HHH]

Holy crap. The game was clearly trolling you. Never seen such bad hands myself l.

[@hedduyou]

48:56 you take so much damage from the flyer this game even after having 2x poison dart frogs, why not just the reach death touch and kill that thing? Or at least hold 1 frog back to threaten it. Seemed like you life was last priority but your deck isn’t the fastest of decks.

[@DopeyDopes]

I have been playing this set for a few times. I'm just doing red + X and winning. I'm not even reading other player's cards lol

[@aiaksoy50]

Man why you dont keep free lands in hand

That's LORD voldemort to you.

I think you mulligan to much, just draw better!
