All Over In A Flash | Mythic 16 | Road To Rank 1 | Outlaws Of Thunder Junction Draft | MTG Arena

[@Hibadell]

Hey Paul, just want to let you know i reached mythic for the first time today - currently sitting at #500. Ive seen myself improving since watching you videos back in Murders and i think you’re a big reason as to why I was able to reach this rank 🙌🏻 thank you so much for the great content

[@haumph]

Appreciate it! Grats on top 500!

[@Mofriese]

Weird to jump in on this comment, but it's the same for me. First time reaching Mythic with this set and great insights.

[@rockhounding5775]

I love how disappointed Paul sounded with the deck initially then it ended up being a lightning-fast trophy. The man doesn't miss

[@haumph]

Yeah we ran pretty hot in this draft!

[@ChrisRyu2024]

thanks for spoiling the whole video bro

[@pAn_1337]

I really like your channel :) I'm just getting into draft and thanks to you i got my first 7-2 quickdraft win with a zero rare G/W deck. There is no way i would have made that without your help thank you :)

[@haumph]

That is awesome! Grats!

[@patrickgonzales7825]

Agreed with all the picks. Learning a lot from your vids. Always looking for your drafts to wake me up every morning. Thank you Keep ‘em coming!

[@haumph]

Glad to hear it!

[@noteveryday]

Sick draft sick games as always, but oh man would have loved to see that Annie Joins Up in this deck.

[@haumph]

Next time!

[@tychoMX]

Loved the waiting game in the Railway Brawler game. Reminds be of an adage from a very different activity (bicycle racing): "patience is the virtue of the strong".

[@CardinalIam]

I was looking at the 17lands leaderboards. 74.8% winrate??? You’ve been on a tear in this format. The way the mythic ranking system works seems broken. The current rank 1 has so many games! Even though they have a lower win rate, rank seems to be based on accumulating some kind of points per win, and the rank 1 player has over 100 wins more than 2nd place. Hope you get to take that coveted #1 spot in a future season.

[@haumph]

Running pretty hot this season not gonna lie!

[@ryanhkimmel]

Mr. Cheon, I been outta the magic scene for a while but these draft vids help me live vicariously through you thanks for the entertainment ❤

[@haumph]

My pleasure!

[@ChristopherComer-p1k]

You have the most INSANE passing luck. No one passes me rares like that XD. But you’re also just an insane drafter to get all those and be able to make a cohesive deck with it. Great work today!

[@haumph]

I try

[@luciano.armani]

thats the luckiest draft i have ever watched. the cards passed on the draft, the perfect mana in almost every game (and never a screw), the bad luck on the opponents, and the insane topdecks. just outrageous. good video and good deckbuilding in your favor tho.

You make amazing content for MTGA. Way to go.

Thanks!

This set definately feels like it was tailor made for you atm. 50% trophy rate is just incredible. Love the content and Keep'm coming.

[@haumph]

Thanks, will do!

[@AmongUsAcademy]

This deck really only missing a Snakeskin Veil. That card is so good this set!

[@TheGekuutBorne]

These videos are the highlight of my day, much love from the Netherlands. Man Jolene is such a fun card, keeps me singing too 😅

[@haumph]

Joleeeene!

[@sdmayday]

Here I came to watch a nice and relaxing draft and then it was over so fast. That deck was nothong but a steamroller!

[@haumph]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@sdmayday]

@@haumph I sure did!

[@adaml8827]

Love this archetype, the red green deck is super strong, and you didn't even need snakeskin veil!

[@haumph]

True that!

[@David-xb8hz]

another great draft, lets go turn 4 plot into a turn 5 doomer scoop lol

[@Zapzapkapow]

Love the videos Paul! Would love a breakdown of what "Naya", "Abzan" or the other multi color nicknames you use are! Sorry if it's obvious but I'm newer to the game and it goes over my head lol

[@haumph]

Naya is rgw abzan is wgb

[@Zapzapkapow]

@@haumph ty!

[@TheFranchiseCA]

Two and three color decks are named after the first time Magic had factions in those colors. The pairs are all from Ravnica, ally tricolors are from Alara, and enemy tricolors are from Tarkir.

[@Zapzapkapow]

@@TheFranchiseCA thanks very much for the explanation!

[@paulonavarro7095]

Awesome draft! (As always)

[@haumph]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@maestro56777]

What's good Mr. Cheon. In the previous sealed event I pulled Selvala, Geralt, bristlebud farmer, vaultborn tyrant, and make your own fortune. I felt like I worked for Wizards to ruin people's runs

Sweet rares!

[@aorhotte]

That was fun To watch !

[@Zorbas85]

You are always the best...what a draft man!

[@haumph]

Thanks!

[@calighis]

You run hotter than the sun. Variance? Do you feel like you're running hot on a big swing and that the swong is coming or do you feel like your play has been consistent with your results?

[@haumph]

I think I have a very good understanding of the format but my current win rate is definitely unsustainable.

[@federicovergallo8066]

Dude, your games are like a Soap Opera where in one episode happens what will never happen in a whole human life! Don'tgetme wrong, you are a valuable player, but this is redefining the definition of: "lucky"!

[@trygvan]

Oh man. Yesterday two cruel ultimatums, and today Railway brawler etc?! Seems like you're so lucky. But it's also a bit skill to see the opportunities I guess. Good job!

[@haumph]

Tell me about it

[@alp2ccc138]

13:53 P3P2 is a crime.

@@haumph they were absolutely but really like your style...congrats on the content you are the best!

[@tequilashooter23]

Been enjoying this series a lot! My computer is out of commission for the moment so you are filling the drafting void. Side note; I like the ambient sound from the game in general but it sounds weird, are you maybe capturing it from the your mic?

[@haumph]

I figured out the issue and it will be fixed in future videos!

[@michaelcote7414]

Good decks around Sureshot are fun and seem to be pretty powerful. Definitely taken me to a couple of trophies even without the ridiculous brawler with it.

[@dju06-20]

Awesome game play to watch

[@haumph]

TY!

[@Uber_Jester]

What are these pools lol.. Crazy. Also, I tried to fight a Brawler once....did not go well. See you tomorrow

[@haumph]

It's too good!

[@stevelew8843]

Spoiler 🛡️

[@SessionalSalmon]

The game audio sounds very choppy. Don’t know if it’s just me. You sound fine though.

[@haumph]

Yeah I gotta make this adjustment but it won’t be fixed for a couple of videos sadly

[@EltWilder]

You like big rares and you cannot lie?

[@nshandy]

No discredit to your ability to play magic well… But did you sacrifice a goat or something before this set came out? Your good fortune seems extraordinary.

[@haumph]

Just one goat?!?

[@brianh5844]

LOL. I think Paul's right, I don't know if a goat would account for this kind of sorcery. I'm thinking some kind of deal with the devil. Is he cutting drafts? Are there 0-3's and 1-3's happening behind the scenes, or is he just running crazy hot? (not to take away from his ability to capitalize on his good fortune, but definitely seems like the pretty positive end of variance)

[@drewforsyth1993]

At 37:50 you play Brawler into 4 open mana. The same open mana he had the last turn. The last turn, the LAST TURN! you were like, "I'll just play to the board and force him to use removal on those creatures." That was the better play. Why? Oh, why? would you move off of that play?

[@TimmayKC]

I feel like every time I draft, my p1 never goes as well as your p1. At the end of p1, you already have a nice skeleton for what your deck is going to be lol.

[@Ittakesawile1]

I

[@haumph]

[@AmongUsAcademy]

I mean that was probably the easiest trophy I’ve seen from you so far, but you probably were due an easy one 😂

[@whitepanda34]

@17:45 : Vehicles are at their "best" in aggro decks (Lots of creatures to crew it ; Play a creature, tap it, attack), homestead has a neutral (0.0) IWD on 17lands in RG ; Only 2 2drops and a salvo... So a lot of the time it would have been the only turn 2 available. With a ton of turn 3s to crew it... I would have played it I think ? Instead of Bandit's Haul ? Mine Raider are trash, but make some sense in this deck ? Also, homestead works well with annie. You're sure about the no homestead ?

[@haumph]

yes

[@svendejong8110]

Maximum greed again with the 3 color special, love it! Why no consideration for the 2nd desert P3P3? Seems like your deck needed the fixing over the removal, or not?

[@haumph]

There's a fine balance between the two and it's not always correct to take fixing. Good removal is absolutely a must to have success in this format so I generally prioritize it over just about anything else.

[@TheGoldenHorncall]

Can you teach me how to open/get passed Annie, Bruce, and Railway Brawler directly after drafting 2 Cruel Ultimatums and an Oko? My drafts are so much more tame than this I don’t understand

[@haumph]

Can’t teach skill

[@Journeyman2585]

Algorithm boosting comment! Love the cactus!

[@haumph]

Yay, thank you!

[@HaleG9]

It was not only your draws. To me, the best deck you had so far. Also, in the second last game you drew really bad (flooding like hell).

[@chazman87784]

had the most broken r/g railway brawler triple cactus sureshot roxanne deck but went 0-3 due to flooding every game :) good times

[@Toinsy]

Do you post every draft you play? Seems like there is never a mediocre deck where you just don't get the cards. I'd certainly leave those out if they are unexciting.

[@haumph]

I only avoid posting the 0-3 decks. I've been on a tremendous heater in this format. 74.7% win rate and a 50% trophy rate!

[@Professoriris]

Might have the best win and trophy rate stats of anyone in the top 50 or something. Pretty insane!

[@timarling6033]

​@haumph what's wrong with posting the 0-3s? Sometimes it's okay to post the other side of variance, unless you really feel like there isn't any educational takeaway from those drafts/games

[@coledaly3870]

Get passed bombs and incredible uncommons + never get manascrewed = rank up!

[@haumph]

easy game

[@gutoslipknot1]

Ridiculous deck!

[@jonash5377]

Why didnt you prioritize 2 Drops? is this set more about grinding than speed?

[@haumph]

Yes

[@heitorh.v5581]

Why passing all the armadillos? Is the 0/4 that bad?

[@TheFranchiseCA]

It's not particularly good, and you don't want a 1-drop unless you're playing at least 7 lands of that color that enter untapped.

[@haumph]

Yes

[@serenolopez-darwin1975]

Pick 2 Brawler??? They better have taken a Vaultborn Tyrant over that. Otherwise there's no excuse; it plots for one green, no reason not to splash it.

[@dcijluther4015]

How the hell do you get these drafts? Wtf. Just getting passed bombs.
