Congrats Paul. My day 2 draft was the roughest pool I’ve ever seen where the only playable rare I’ve seen in the entire draft is pack 3 pick 5(Not rare in my colors, rare in all colors, everything was just land and leylines). Went 2-2 at last with a pile of commons. Wish you have better luck.
Congrats! I'm pretty sure I played against you on a blue-white deck during my run, I had one of the silliest sealed pools i've ever opened with the white overlord, valvagoth's onslaught + a few other bombs. I felt bad for my opponents... My day 2 draft didn't go nearly so well, hope yours went better!
Nice Deck! This format in DSK really is about card power level and finishers more than ever. Glad you got it done will check your Day 2! Personally had a very similar deck (Green-Red, splashing white and black with lots of green mana fixing) but less powerful (Zimone, Toby, Walz, Enduring Vitality and Shrieker were my rares, very little true finishers apart from Zimone) and actually got ran over by aggro decks more present then ever for me (finished 3-3 3L were vs aggro) with a bonkers mono red aggro deck?? (in sealed? prob not, but played 4 or 5 mountains, played piggy bank into fear of being hunted into MV slayer) to finish me off.
What a better way to qualify for Day2 than a 4-color Cheon special. I would’ve totally misbuild this deck, opting for the red splash rather than white, since the mana would be better. But after seeing the games, the white splash is totally the correct way. Gratz and hope you do well on Day2! I got qualified for Draft2, so rooting for both of us to cash in. Looking forward to your Day2 videos (note: plural).
Oh, for sure. I was just trying to think of the reasoning, because it's a unique and unintuitive choice. Maybe they knew Rollercrusher Ride was their only out so they were trying to thin their deck for it. Either way, the 4 color was too strong.
I just did a draft where I had Dollmaker’s Shop, Valgavoth’s Onslaught, and Overlord of the Mistmoors. I flooded out all 3 games and went 0-3. Never saw any of those 3 cards. Super sad. I even surveiled lands to the bottom 4 times using Wary Watchdog in one game. Still kept drawing lands.
I did three attempts, my 3rd attempt had ghostly dancers, niko, silent hallcreeper, gremlin tamer. Unfortunately it had no enchantment removal, and I went four and three after a 3-0 start, and had family stuff rest of the way. Goodluck day 2!!
(Haven't watched the games yet) I thought about Creeping Peeper as your 23rd card to accelerate into your overlords, but because you have few blue sources it's not super reliable as a 2 drop, compared to the Glimmerlight.
Given how rigged Arena is, it is always frustrating to see the land you need when manifesting dread, even for decks with just two colors 😂 Also, you've got me saying Valvagoth as well when it is Valgavoth lol
Tried twice last night. The first pool had good rares, but there was no synergy. Faced two nutso azorius enchantment decks back to back. Second pool sucked and I got mana screwed and faced yet again crazy stupid draft decks... RIP all my coins and gems. Arena is rigged.
Top green rare, top multicolor rare, top blue rare, tons of fixing and ramp to get to those high end rares. What a bomb sealed.
Forgot to mention he went first literally every match.
It’s nice that you gave Eejus a shoutout, I enjoy that kind of positivity!
Well deserved Paul!! In dutch we say “de aanhouder wint” 😊 good luck in the next one! ❤
I don't know why it's even more scary when your deck is amazing haha. Great work and great W!
Thanks a ton!

Thx for the spoiler
Congrats awesome video. Loved your guest appearance on LR.
Thanks so much!
Gongratz man!!! Can't wait for the next!
All it took was two overlords. Congrats, looking forward to your next vid.
Manifesting Dread hitting the Valgavoth's multiple times is PAIN 😂
Yeah where's paranormal analyst when you need it!
Ayy congrats Paul!!🎉🎉 Good luck on day 2 and may the magic gods forever be in your favor
TY!

“I’ve been dabbling in standard” PPPLLLLLEEEEEAAAASSSEE! I need help in standard Paul! Watching your gameplay is like watching Yoda be a Jedi
Okay here we go again! Didn't get there last video but also didnt love our pool. Lets go Paul! all in for a day 2 vid :)
Gogogo!
@@haumph congrats on the pool! Bring on day 2!

I’ve played a sealed where I managed to open two red overlords, I’ve felt dirty playing those games.

I appreciate Paul's thoroughness in analyzing and building. I would've instantly done Sultai after opening. I would not have considered the white
*sees rares* THIS IS THE ONE BABYYYYYYY
Nice pool, great build. Learned from this.
Glad to hear it!
THAT SEALED POOL THO 🎉🎉🎉
Yeah it was insane!
Sweet deck. Looking forward to seeing day 2.
In that last game at 1:06:40 why did opponent cycle the 5/6 instead of just casting it...?
Not sure but they were dead anyways I think.
Oh, for sure. I was just trying to think of the reasoning, because it's a unique and unintuitive choice. Maybe they knew Rollercrusher Ride was their only out so they were trying to thin their deck for it. Either way, the 4 color was too strong.
very clean lines
Thank you! Cheers!
What's everyone favorite color pair. Personally jeskai is just so much fun in this meta.
44:00 I pulled a meat hook massacre 2 in my prerelease. Judge was also so confused, lol.
SO MANY WORDS!
21:27 - Opponent should have swung with Fear of Missing Out as Lionheart Glimmer buffs it once, and then buffs it again when it swings again.
Do NOT think you're getting away with pluralizing "gym" as "James" at 25:38. I love it.
these grindy games are tense
Does Exorcise work on rooms?... Because woulda been safer to take away that room decks win con
I just did a draft where I had Dollmaker’s Shop, Valgavoth’s Onslaught, and Overlord of the Mistmoors. I flooded out all 3 games and went 0-3. Never saw any of those 3 cards. Super sad.
I even surveiled lands to the bottom 4 times using Wary Watchdog in one game. Still kept drawing lands.
oof sorry!
it only takes multiple mythic and rares, and turn 2 spells. yeah all my pulls were trash, and the bots had all the answers. good luck on day 2!
How many times are you going to manifest your own Valvagoth’s Onslaught 😢😅
I did three attempts, my 3rd attempt had ghostly dancers, niko, silent hallcreeper, gremlin tamer. Unfortunately it had no enchantment removal, and I went four and three after a 3-0 start, and had family stuff rest of the way. Goodluck day 2!!
I think the rooms opponent got stuck on blue mana, and were base blue/red splashing white for more rooms.
Hope your day 2 goes better than mine lol. Also ran into you in one of your runs (your ur deck i think)! (sorry)
why not UW? 😅
Insane pool lmao. Even tons of great fixing with some of the best cards in every color! 6-0?
(Haven't watched the games yet) I thought about Creeping Peeper as your 23rd card to accelerate into your overlords, but because you have few blue sources it's not super reliable as a 2 drop, compared to the Glimmerlight.
Final because it's a big W?! (havent finished watching :)) )
can you bounce Fear of Abduction in response to the etb trigger and your manifest not be exiled?
No, it's templated like old O-ring. If you bounce in response to the trigger, the exiled card is lost forever.
When you need a white mana source…. And you bin three of your white mana sources by manifest dreading 😭😭😭😭😭
1:27 Jeeeebus :O
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO you earned this
TY!
Given how rigged Arena is, it is always frustrating to see the land you need when manifesting dread, even for decks with just two colors 😂
Also, you've got me saying Valvagoth as well when it is Valgavoth lol
Overlords are like the busted cars to open in draft or sealed
hardest format/ event in 3 years
The lucky diet coke came in clutch!
Yeah I should frame it!
@@haumph If you win the open you can get a sweet display plinth for it.
You were guarunteed to win with those rares
It only took me 6 tries!
Don´t believe in the black splash. Yes Swarmweaver ist a very nice card, but not worth destroying the manabase
manabase was fine. def worth the splash
@@haumph convincing point 😆
Only arena plz. Constructed so boooorringggg
