The Perfect Openers | Arena Open Day 2 Draft 1 | Tarkir: Dragonstorm Draft | MTG Arena

Crazy First draws - unlucky…..

Just got back into mtg after being gone for years. First draft I had a beautiful Mardu deck…it ran just like this did. Next 3 drafts I did a 5 color soup and 7-2’d the first and 7-0’d the next two. That’s magic. I’d argue the Mardu deck was much better than the other 3…

This arena might have been the worst ever when it comes to luck, but thousands of viewers will think twice before tilting on bad starting hand thanks to you. This is healing content

One of my favorite videos yet. Makes me feel like I'm not the only one with these types of runs! Sorry for the losses, but thanks for the content

I give a thumbs up for this man going through this so i don't have to 😂

Thanks for the upload. Been on some terrible runs lately as well so makes me feel like I’m not the only one. Hope the solid runs continue!

RIGGED. SHUFFLER. That is all.

I wonder if the Arena hand smoother leads to Mardu (or in general aggro strategies) being overvalued, since they rely much more on a good initial hand than other strategies. Maybe something to consider in the next Arena open. (Although here Mardu was definitely the way to go)

Yeah, this is kind of why I left arena and play with friends every week. There's absolutely no way this would even be close to happen in person. Ridiculous, only the fact that drafting doesn't pair you with the players of the same table is just enough to abandon this "version" of the game.

im getting mad on your behalf. how can you even stay so calm after getting magic'ed so hard

I hate Wotc for what they deal you as starting hands. It is so obvious when they rip you of your gems its laughable. And the worst part is: They have to do it. If you think about it, they cannot have good players be able to draft and enter this competitions for free all the time. They need to earn money. So they need to balance out the wins and losses so you are kept in a state of being motivated enough to play again, yet not getting handed everything on a silver plate to lose interest. And they need to do this to new players as well as experts. And companies have been caught doing these things in the past, so it is really nothing new. But is kinda kills the fun if you know about it :/

Best example of why Magic is one of the worst game in the world. And I love Magic and it's also one of the best game in the world, but it's on the extreme on both sides, and the designers did nothing to truly fix the mana issues and randomness (like having all cards offer a land side and a spell side, with new ways to play the game)

😅 That last game got me in tears. I feel ur pain so much I had to laugh.

This is the most entertaining video

And the draft was so promising, the gods decided you weren’t supposed to have this one lol.

My day2 went exactly the same. I had a really really good deck, but went 3 times on the draw in the first game and had 6 Mulligans in 10 matches and i went 1-3. I really feel you Numot :/

I don't think this set is particularly bad in the same way as MKM or All Bone, but it's certainly worn out it's welcome gameplay wise. Enjoy all your content regardless and thanks for the daily entertainment.

Mtg arena tin foil hat enthusiasts / copers like myself will have to consider the fact that arena creates dead draws on their high profile events.

Or also just a bad beat. Ggs Nummy this hurt my tummy to watch.

That was crazy

Those opens were absolutely brutal, commiserations.

This is the sort of run that would make me uninstall arena for at lest a week to cool off.

Looking back at the Pack 1 Pick 1, probably Narset was the answer all along. At least a buildaround would give you more interaction, but Tarkir is still a tough Draft to play simply because of the third color of cards. Other sets tends to give you some variety, Tarkir only offers 5, no matter from where you're looking at. Well, we go again then!

The Magic gods were against you on this one...

Nauseating

Nummy getting Magic-the-Gathering'ed on mulligans just like I do on MTGA!

The kind of run after which i usually uninstall arena for a while. And Kenji doesn't even have the option

One Thing nummit, at this type of aggro strategy xou had with boros, you can often afford to mulligan several times like nearly three. With two lands and a two drop you are quite fine nearly always

Numot gets outplayed by his autoshuffler

Good beats

Pretty sure P1P3 was Evolving Wilds, and it feels not even close. Good video though, both cinematic and educational

HOW DID YOU DRAW THAT 7th LAND HOW??

LOOK AT ME...

This game we play man smh.

Ridiculously sad. That Ugin, Globe Globe … the pain and disgust on your face. 😢

Woah. Great draft followed by bad draws and matched up against people who just got passed the nuts during the draft... then again my last 3 drafts went 0-3 3-3 0-3.... I never, ever, ever open the nuts, making watching streaming like Nummy stir up the jealousy big time.... only to be tempered by watching your opponent play turn 7 Ugin into double globes including one top-decked. Magic is a skills they say...

Sorry Kenji. :-/. Looked like a great deck too. Hang in there mang.

karma bro, lean away from boros. lesson learned :)

One of the funniest videos you’ve put out. I feel bad for you but it’s the perfect tilt video

Those and the 0-5 Pauper league by LSV are the most inspiring videos honestly : painful to live, painful to watch, but the fact that you take it in stride and still play as much magic (even if it's your job) shows how much one bad run, one defeat, does not have to define your enjoyment of something.
Journey before destination as they say 😉

Look at me, I'm mardu.

is there any chance you can adjust the upload so that the cards you are drafting are more readable?
if it's too much to increase the pixels, can the cards be made bigger?

Thats exactly how 19 of my 20 Arena directs went last month for the collector display :D:D

This hurt me man.glad to see we aren't the only ones with shit luck

That was brutal ... with ya there all the way... :(

Ugh God that was tough :( I'm sorry dang......

Mardu me, look at I’m!
