24:40 you were right about Phelia being able to bring back the unearthed Moleten Gatekeeper permanently! I looked it up and found this: “10/1/2008: If a creature returned to the battlefield with unearth would leave the battlefield for any reason, it's exiled instead -- unless the spell or ability that's causing the creature to leave the battlefield is actually trying to exile it! In that case, it succeeds at exiling it. If it later returns the creature card to the battlefield (as Oblivion Ring or Flickerwisp might, for example), the creature card will return to the battlefield as a new object with no relation to its previous existence. The unearth effect will no longer apply to it.” TL;DR Unearth cares that the creature gets exiled, so a flicker can exile and still bring it back without violating unearth rules.

@@bigperk345 the box event is definitely not something I would enter. I don't have the bankroll. But if I was sitting on 50,000 gems I would love to try my chances. Kenji only needed to win 1/8 trophies to make a profit, since a box is worth $200+. But if you only have enough gems for one attempt, then the odds are terrible

I really like how happy Nummy gets when opponent finds a way out of a brutal curve in game 2. Such a good sport! I play this game for a couple of matches and notice how my mood sours so quickly! How does one acquire such a zen-like mentality to a frustrating game like magic?

Kenji, thoughts on running the one (maaaybe two) of the inventor's axes? Considering that you has 2x guide, 2x chargebug, phelia, kite and guardian of the forgotten - its not typically a great card but it has some great synergy with the guides especially. And additionally interacts well with the other cards I mentioned.

Axe is too smallball for a deck with this power level. Really all he wants are creatures and removal spells, so there are very few reasons to play the axes.

I played this event, went 2-2, played a second time, went 6-1 and got the token for a box, figured "hey, clearly I know how to play well enough to give it another go", then went 0-2 twice with some of the worst pools I've seen in my life. I had Imskir in 3 of 4 pools and had at least two fetch as rares in the last two, so uh.... Yeah. Great rewards if you win, horribly pitiful beatdowns if you don't 😓

LMAO This game isn't even regulated under gambling laws in the U.S. Wizards of The Coast is under no obligation to make the system they use to distribute winnings either "fair" nor "balanced" They are free to print broken cards and they are free to hand select packs and the card spreads in packs. They are under no legal obligation to disclose the system they use to "randomize" their game. For all you know the cards could be given on an account by account basis with accounts that earn more for Wizards getting better pools.
