This Game Is Just Too Easy | Duskmourn Draft | Mythic Rank 1 | MTG Arena

[@alexanderanglin8160]

Got back into magic like 3 weeks ago, grinded dailies to get coins and I’ve been able to do like 4/5 drafts and I’ve won 2 of them. Thanks for reteaching me how to draft and understand bloomburrow and duskmourn

[@tsunablast3693]

Yo, friend, I came back to magic last month as well and have been doing well thanks to Paul's teachings. Btw, I just wanted to suggest that you make a second account for draft training. Alt accounts are completely allowed by TOS and you can play from time to time, get a victory per day if you can, as do some free drafts once in a while. Good for experimenting without worrying too much about rewards.

[@haumph]

Nice work!

[@alexanderanglin8160]

@@tsunablast3693wait that’s lowkey genius 😂 idk how I haven’t thought to do this, thanks so much

[@tsunablast3693]

@@alexanderanglin8160 np, friend! I'm glad to be of help :D I wish you all the success in your future drafts! And, specially, have fun! That's what it is all about.

[@MotivatedPony]

Are you getting not a little too comfortable in your favourite color pair? 😉 Time to be bold again and try something new.

[@dukvader8759]

I don’t even play standard anymore because I enjoy watching your content and drafting is now my new love. You seem very sharp this expansion, keep up the good work.

[@haumph]

Welcome aboard!

[@w47765]

Damn Paul has gotten so good he's able to off-screen the final boss now!

[@davestier6247]

I randomly tuned into the standard final and was pleasantly surprised to see you commentating. You did a fantastic job. Came across very professional and your input was valuable regarding possible play lines etc. Good for you Paul!🎉

[@haumph]

I appreciate that!

[@brettshears2121]

You guys did a great job as always commentating at Worlds, Paul! Easily the best line for me was when you said you usually concede after an opponent hits twice with a cartographer. That hit really close to home 😂

[@haumph]

Mani should have given the cartographer card of the day tbh

[@JiveTurkeyify]

That ending was pretty suspenseful, but ended exactly the way I thought it would.😁👍

[@haumph]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@rahsaanTV]

MTG championship was such a blast to watch, and it was a little surreal watching you commentate. I was like, "Holy shit that's Paul!" You did really great, and you were looking really sharp in that suit too. Glad it was just a 15 min drive for you as well 😂. GGs brotha

[@haumph]

Thanks so much!

[@jahbariw5534]

Hey Paul! If you wanted to get the game recreation off of 17lands it does replay exactly what happened. Sucks to see the abrupt ending, but great deck and another incredible video. You’ve been on such an incredible heater, let’s go Temur Cheons!!

[@koolaiddude7685894]

Really cool hearing your thoughts over the pro tour weekend! Definitely subbing to grab some more tips from the best on Arena ✊

[@haumph]

Thanks for the sub!

[@jgoody992]

Your commentary is top notch. I’m always a little hesitant to do premier drafts at the beginning of a set release but after watching a handful of your draft videos I feel like a have a better idea of what cards are premium and what colour pairs work best. My results have been great averaging between 4-7 wins and being able to earn my gems back and grow my collection. Keep up the good work

[@haumph]

Thanks and gl in your drafts!

[@YohWolf]

I love your hard stance on inspector, i would've run it but it's great for engagement.

[@gianlucabronzo9635]

hello paaaaaaaaaul so nice to see you back ^^ I watched u on worlds u was awesome :D

[@haumph]

Hey, thanks!

[@unknownuser3000]

Hey Paul. I watch your videos, but i had no idea you were a commentator for Magic world championships. I watched every minute and loved all the commentary and you and marshall KILLED IT. This event was so much fun to watch! Ive never watched a pro tour, was this your favorite? Black demons stays winning 30 years after i started! I really want to get back into the game and your commentary is amazing.

[@haumph]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@ZipzZzzz5]

Man i love watching your Draft videos.

[@tenmonster1846]

It's weird idk why they are so good

[@michaelmaniloff9297]

​​@@tenmonster1846 he's great at drafting and is an absolute master at maximizing value. Perfect for a grindy midrange set like this.

[@ZipzZzzz5]

@@tenmonster1846 For me its that he says his every tougth so i learn so much from it. could not ask for a better Teacher :D

[@philjacksonDP]

Could have shown some of the reply from 17lands as talked through your choices. But hey, tech issues happen!

[@florentbouisset764]

Paul, I love your content, it's amazing that you publish daily video even if you were busy at world championship

[@haumph]

I try

[@theibault]

Gotta Love breakfast and little drafting with Paul

[@Vizrfy]

Ah, too bad the end got cut off. Question answered though, you did have a counterspell since early on. I was afraid you bluffed me at some point, as I was holding the flytrap most of the game waiting for delirium. I wasn't digging for anything in particular when I blocked with the monkey, just trying to get that delirium for flytrap or find a different threat that would need to be countered. Anyways, thanks for the game, and thanks for uploading it. Bookworm was definitely MVP there. Should have saved my scorching dragonfire for it!

[@haumph]

GGs

[@atk8r]

What? 82% win rate with simic? No wonder you're the #1 limited player!

[@Seldomheardabout]

Tough question but I think I prefer the dual land most of the time unless I am playing delirium/ say its name. Sometimes they enter untapped for value and most of the time in 3 colors I have a random mana cost with two of the same symbol so the duals tend to be marginally better.

[@Ominyx]

Sopranos ending there, roll credits, don't stop believing. GGs!

[@haumph]

ggs

[@basoon87]

I definitely take the first Terramorphic over the second lighthouse there in pack 3.

[@pr1mu]

Ran into 2 of that busted worm in one game! Sucked so hard, almost won

[@tomascarreras9468]

In a two color deck + splash I always prefer a dual land but if it's more of a three main colors, or even more than 3, I prefer terramorphic.

[@shadowcatX2000]

In a 2 color deck with a splash I'd rather have the terramorphic, in a full 3 color deck I'd rather have the lighthouse. The delirium theme makes me lean even more into the terramorphic though.

[@ericcourtaway8920]

You've been playing great Paul!

[@haumph]

TY!

[@Sprakenheit]

Noooo that last match was so good as well 😢

[@aroadtorome7683]

A humble offering for the almighty algorithm.

[@onlywei]

Noooo the one time I get matched up against you, I get mana screwed. I was doing so well that draft too...

[@kameronlebel1038]

Thank god your back!

[@ivaningram5452]

Hi Paul, thanks for the content. When you play Underwater Tunnel/Slimy Aquarium, why do you manifest first instead of surveilling first?

[@haumph]

I'd rather draw a good spell then try to hit a creature off the manifest. I think it's better overall.

[@Whitty__]

Impossible challenge for you, draft around and play cryptid inspector.

[@atypewriter]

When in doubt, just draft Bookworm :P

[@Seldomheardabout]

26:57 actually made me laugh.

[@rocknrollnerd3]

Hi, Paul. Can’t believe your win rate with UG. Will you be drafting any Arena Cube?

[@haumph]

I will after the ladder resets

[@JuKo-be5nx]

damn ur rank 1 congrats

[@caigeraup5920]

😂😂crazy ending

[@KristopherG3188]

Soooo many Grand entryways went by…….

[@AJSacher]

you use 17lands so unless something REALLY crazy happened to your computer, you should be able to watch the replay on there and commentate over it if you wanted

[@haumph]

i don't know how to use such things. just let me grab my cane and hobble over to the next video.

[@AJSacher]

@@haumph lol well if it happens again, it's just My Data --> Game History, Replay in the far right column

[@beastly_dakota]

1st! 34 seconds since listed :) enjoy the vids man

[@TH-dg2mm]

Almost rank 0.5

[@XxRobDeBobxX]

42:45 missed exiling the megalodon lol

[@RagingAcid]

I dont think he missed I think he wanted to counter into chump into exile cryptid

[@Leydenification]

He didn't miss it - he calculated that given how many attacking creatures he had he was better off holding up counter spell on their turn so that they couldn't pull a win out with whatever they drew (think if they had an onslaught for example - he would have decked before being able to win).

[@lcrperfect]

First to watch this masterpiece

[@TsukaiStarburst]

Really think your seat was green-white.

[@michaelmaniloff9297]

I'm guessing you didn't watch him go 7-0 😝
