- The World Championship is over and I finally have time to try and reclaim my throne as the number 1 Mythic drafter on Arena. There's only a few days left but can we take back what rightfully belongs to us?

Your knowledge of draft lines is incredible, and at World Championship you did an amazing job calling those lines out.
Thank you!
My favorite was "he cant use monstrous emergence because it doesnt work like that"
...."Oh no, he tried"
You were the best commentator by far! Could listen to you talk about MTG all day.
Fortunately I can talk about MTG all day so it's a match made in heaven!
World Championship drafts were entertaining AF. I loved watching Simon Nielson's draft. After pack 2 I was like, "wow this draft is cursed, he's doomed."
Then he just casually rips 2 Undead Sprinters and a bunch of premium cards he was missing.
"It's not the happiest murder!" -Paul Cheon is back
Love your content! One play you missed: killing the opponent's foba with the enters trigger on the stack could have saved your own foba ( still take 4, but your creature doesn't).
What a remarkable job you did commentating the World Championship. You and Marshall make quite the team. Every time they referred to you as the #1 arena player haha it was a good time. Javier and Kai were my top two picks to win.
Looking forward to your limited review of Foundations! Thanks for all the awesome content Paul!
Glad you enjoyed!
Such a treat to have you back in the booth! Awesome job this weekend
Thanks again!
Looking sharp this weekend Paul!! 🥳 it was a great tournament!
Good luck getting back to Rank1 🥰
Fingers crossed!
Awesome job on the broadcast! Was great to have you back on!
Before worlds I somehow missed that you were commentating. I tuned in on a whim, and when I heard your voice I got super excited, ended up watching all weekend purely because of your insight!
Wow, thank you!
I loved you during worlds! Amazing comentator, good insights and amazing voice! Thank you for your hard work ! 👍
My pleasure!
Loved hearing you at worlds, you provided awesome insight. Glad to see another draft video, happy to see you back. Hope you didn't catch any con flu lol
I think I avoided con flu this time around!
Good job, was great commentary in the world championship !
Was great having you back 🎉
Good to be back!
Congratulations on the commentator comeback! Was great to see you in the booth again. Always love your commentary!
Glad you enjoyed it!
It was such a pleasant surprise seeing you back on the coms at the world championships! Was hoping to see you at the Amsterdam pro tour but unfortunately.... contemporary magic isn't the same without you sir!
Yeah I really wanted to go to Amsterdam as well but I should be doing more Pro Tours moving forward!
It was such a pleasent surprise seeing you kn the brothers with Marshall again 😍
Wow autocorrection really butchered my comment 😅
Hey Paul, great hearing you back at the booth this weekend! Just wanted to point out a line in that last game - removing a FOBA in response to the ETB damage will actually blank the part where it zaps a creature, as its no longer on the field! Youd still get bonked for 4 though, so it came down to basically saccing your 2/2 and keeping your own FOBA against their dudes and a faceup tunnel of hate, hoping they didnt topdeck (rip). Love rakdos tho keep it up and rank 1 will be yours again!
good callout thanks
I tried to help you get back to #1 by losing to you when you were streaming. Always happy to do my part :D
You and Marshall’s casts are great, good dynamic. Happy you were back on that was a good decision.
Love the content Mr Cheon, very impressed. I have to know, how do you keep so calm and collected with your thoughts during drafting, gameplay and explanations? Experience surely plays a part, but your drafts are so different from other limited players I've seen. By the way, I'd love to watch you talk about limited theory or principles that viewers might not be aware of, I like studying magic and I'm sure your insights would be hugely valuable to the community. In short, MORE CHEON! Thanks for the content :)
I'll be on limited resources for most of november so that will be a good place to watch me talk limited!
MagicCon was amazing! I love my magnetic Heavy Play playmat, dice box and deck box with the Paul Cheon discount! Nice guys there at the booth. Was really cool meeting Kenji and Jimmy and Josh as well.
Glad you enjoyed the convention!
Loved seeing you at the world championship Paul. One could say you were MTG's pack1/pick1 😉
welcome back paul!
Great seeing you do commentary at World’s!
A humble offering for the almighty algorithm.
Glad to see im not the only one who punts and then thinks "omg what was I THINKING?! Why did i just do that?!", glad to hear the best of the best do it too haha (although i suspect i do it more than you since youre 1200 ranks ahead of me 😅)
nah somethings up. I haven't seen that many of the same uncommon in any of my drafts, let alone the same one. you're one lucky bastard
I was watching the championship and i was wondering: Where did I hear that voice? Oh Its Haumph! Loved to know that was you hahaha, congrats
thx!
At 47:09, could you have responded to the ETB trigger on Fear of Burning Alive, cast your exile removal, and prevented the trigger from the Fear when you take damage?
No the trigger goes on the stack when FOBA enters. You can respond and exile FOBA, that wont stop the effect though, as FOBA has already entered play. A counterspell or perhaps a Untimely Malfunction would be the clean answer.
@@BoastfulCoastI think Corey is right. The dealing damage to a creature trigger doesn't get put on the stack until Paul takes the damage. So if you kill the FOBA before the damage happens, they don't deal damage to the creature.
I think you think Corey is referring to the face damage. But I'm pretty sure he's referring to the creature damage
Not entirely accurate: the 4 damage to the face can't be prevented it by killing it in response to it entering with the 4 damage face on the stack, but the 4 damage to a creature could indeed have been prevented by killing it before the 4 damage to the face resolved, as the face damage and creature damage are two separate triggers
@Leandronicus thanks, you both got it right. I was referring to a situation where you could avoid the second trigger that was used to kill Paul's creature. I rewatched it and realized he still would have lost a creature (had to sac something to only pay 2 for the exile) but he could have saved his 4/4
I think grab the prize can be a consideration since it helps a lot for delirium as your second sorcery that can also get another type in the gy. Especially since you don't otherwise have ways to get lands outside manifest
i hate the card in general. i've tried it before and have never been impressed.
You and Marshall made a great pair
thank you!
I've watched like probably a dozen of Paul's draft videos....and I still have no idea what his sorting methodology is 😂
Creatures by curve and spells.
Thanks, I'll keep that in mind
Tough beats Paul you’ll get em next time.
For sure!
Also, gotta love how MTG sounds out of context. 9:21 "it's not the happiest murder" 😅
You played your last game against me! Sorry for beating you, but you taught me how to draft ;) and got to diamond in a week on F2P because of your videos! I saved the piggy bank because I did not need the mana and wanted a high attack creature with my MVS. Made a mistake with attacking with the savior of the small and/or not flipping - assumed you would block differently, but was a bit nervous playing against the best... But you made a mistake by not casting betrayer's bargain on FoBA before it could trigger the creature damage.
ok
Too many trophies in a row, the magic gods needed to remind you how variance works.
great content one suggestion maybe hover over some of the cards even a second or two longer so we can read or even pause and read them
it's week 6.
@@haumphketchup is overrated mustard seems like a preferred choice here
@ ya and not everyone has memorized all the cards in just 6 weeks, you might even have a viewer who hasn’t seen any of the cards once as your audience grows. not everyone plays magic all day. just because you know all the cards doesn’t mean everyone else does lol…
@@aj7010 I’ve got maybe one or two videos of duskmourn left. New viewers can go back and watch plenty of older videos. Foundations will be out soon and I’ll make sure to try and hover over the cards when I can.
@ ya i’m a pauser and even i couldn’t pause on the cards fast enough lol thx for listening
I wish Kai would have won it all.
Here's a fun minigame for you all. Shot storm. Take a shot for each time you've heard Paul say "one of my favorite archetypes" in the same format lol
I like many archetypes!
Could we get a super cut of your commentary?
You needed more clockworks and rats and it would of been amazing.
for sure!
Any word on when the next open will be?
not a clue but i'll be here for it!
Alrighty, I forgot to mention I played rank #4 last night (who wasn’t you I might add) and I won! Doing my part to help the haumph!!
Meathook Massacre is very good. I've been destroyed by it in draft multiple times.
@@KVGMRadio it’s got a comically low win rate. The issue is you don’t see the number of games your opponents have it stranded in hand not doing much.
We need BDM BACK!
Are you sure they won’t just reprint fervent champion lol
They've all been creatures so far. I wonder if you can get a non-creature on the second win
Wait, why did you live in Curacao lol
I worked for Pinnacle Sports
!!
like during the draft part not play
So much variance in best of 1. And being forced to play against people outside the pod... really not a fan of this structure on mtga. Shame it is the only limited format they provide with decent rewards.
Arena is rigged to keep your win percentage to 50/50. No one can tell me otherwise.
Kenji Is better
He very well could be but we're both better
bro u talk to much! stop!!!
It’s literally my job bro
@haumph But you spend the whole video talking non-stop! It's boring to watch like that!
@@rafarealhustla I think most people would disagree with you
