Don't think I would have ever looked at the hydra and think to myself "this rare is filler, imma swap it for this 2/1 common", but that's the reason I don't win that many limited ; great content !

Same, every time him or Paul says, "this card is garbage or not good," it's a card I'm excited to pick😂

Really cool that the switch ended up being really significant in a following game
@patrickgonzales782514 сағат бұрын
I have same experience with Hydra. I picked it up highly, played with it, and eventually swapped it with a different card since it’s way too slow before you feel the impact. Same thing with the 4cc bird that grows every time you draw.
@Aradalf13 сағат бұрын
Hydra is probably only good if you have 2+ Llanowar Elves, since playing it Turn 2 with a bunch of lands in hand makes it into a bomb.
@salomar7712 сағат бұрын
The problem with hydra is that it's a 2 toughness creature (unless you play evolving wilds the turn you cast it), so it dies to stab and burst lightning. And doing that means you play it turn 4. Well whoop whoop, you just cast a 4/4 on turn 4. That's decent but still not great. And it's a lot of ifs

well done Master :). I have played it twice times, 1 lost and 1 I have managed to get 6 wins. I follow you since 6-7 years or so and I have improved a lot my limited deck constructions and gameplay by watching you and hearing your thoughts. I can say most of my morning I wake up while watching one of yours video on youtube and would feel good if one day I will be able to meet you in person :). GGWP

I average about 4.5 wins in best of 1 limited, but I'm a poor who can't afford to farm gems enough to actually enter bc I spend most of my time farming dollars to stay alive. It's tempting to gamble actual money on entry fees, I'm confident I could turn a long term profit. But so far I haven't spent a cent on Arena, ever. One day I might enter an open. But statistically, I'd need to play a couple before I get any return.

I won a prerelease with a deck with campus guide and double bushwhack. I was green/black with a clean blue splash for Zimone and double witness protection. Those cards made it super easy to get my colors, and I ran 15 lands because I had ways to ensure I hit land drops lol
@TheBieza10 сағат бұрын
Before watching the gameplay my impression of the pool is that I would have definitely gone more into blue than you did. I would have absolutely splashed a few cards in black or even white depending on the flavor you choose but blue green splash looked good. The 3/4 prowess surveil 2 is a super solid card, especially with 3 bushwhacks. you had quite a good core of 2 drops and early plays in blue that synergized quite well. Unfortunately this pool was green heavy so we are automatically playing a weaker color, that being said I felt that was the most powerful option for this pool and could possibly make it to 6 wins.

Lots of comments saying that he was too critical of his pool, but when youre as good as Num, youre going to go further with an average pool, and face those lucky and insane decks more often, scewing your view of average deck quality.
