“The miracle on mice.” This journey (from birds 1-2 two weeks ago, to internet crash 4-0, to insane underdog 4-0) is the most thrilling mtg I’ve ever watched. Well done, king. 👑
Did I just watch a low-tier Limited deck dumpster four Constructed decks at the top level of play? Oh, and I’m 100% with you. I don’t start shit, but if my opponent does, you bet I’m taking that invitation.
Good Job Paul. Proud of you! I’ve been watching on and off since you’ve started your channel back up and not only has your play improved but also your commentary and entertainment skills. I watch your videos every day now! Keep it up!
I've been playing magic for two decades on a competitive level but this draft taught me something new about gameplay. fantastic stuff. congratulations, well-deserved.
@@jorism244 I'm far from a pro at this point in my life. More like a seasoned amateur and draft enthusiast hah. Watching people like Nathan Steuer, LSV, Reid Duke, and Jean Emmanuel-Depraz play make me realize how big a gap there is between myself and the top pros. I can probably crush an FNM with the best of them though.
That was one of the best draft videos my husband and I watched. The opponents had good decks, and it was amazing to see the mice deck overcome the odds!
Congrats Paul! Fantastic play! Im convinced that your channel offers the highest level of play with commentary available. Your tight game and the intricate play-by-play really helps even very talented players improve. Love your channel and lament only that you're doing one video per day. You deserve that 2k. 🎉
Good games! You had an awesome deck and yeah you got flooded pretty hard in game 3. We both drew 9-10 lands I think. Your deck was definitely stronger and I knew I needed to get a little lucky to beat you.
Watching you play is magnificent, you’re such a well rounded player and your commentary is so valuable. What an incredible run and ending. Goated videos.
My GOD!!!! That was one of most exiciting sequences of events in Arena open that I've seen!! The comeback from internet crash, the turnovers in games with opponents with so better decks! That was amazing to see! Congratz!
Congrats!!! Seeing people convert is awesome. It does make me want to stop playing MtG though, haven't converted anything in a long time. Guess I'm not a good player.
AND ONCE AGAIN.. ARENA OPEN CHAMPIOOOON!!!👏👏👏🏆 PAUL! Omgosh! So happy for you!! I've always rooted for you because you're so level headed and technical. The way you pilot and navigated these games were just a joy to watch!! I was literally at the edge of my seat till that last victory!! Congratulations again!! I will share this to all my friends. And now they will truly understand what an art form Magic Limited is!!
I watch all your videos and this has to be my favorite one yet. The close matches, the tight gameplay, the drama, the comebacks, it had me on the edge of my seat the whole time and I couldn't help but smile at the end. Congrats on the $2000 Paul, thoroughly deserved.
Amazing man, just amazing!!! When that opponent gave you the early GG after the double crumb I was praying you would smash him.. SO SATISFYING! Congrats on the cash, treat yourself sir.
That good game was totally uncalled for. That was very satisfying. It is pretty amazing how play quality is so relevant here. Amazing how Mr. Cheon was able to keep tweaking the deck and coming back against decks that looked very good.
Congrats Paul!! Amazing tournament coming back against all odds time and again with a run of the mill deck. Gives me hope for when i draft a bad deck to play well and get those wins anyway
Just recently found your channel within the last month, and the content that you make is incredibly valuable. I have become a better drafter & MTG player from watching your decision-making and playstyle. Huge congrats on this epic win and redemption arc from the dreadful disconnect in draft 1. As you like to say in your videos, "Sometimes, them is the beats!" Keep it up, Paul. Great work!
this was so amazing man. i love watching your videos and i was laughing and cheering alongside you. i just came back to magic after 15 years and am learning so much from you. keep going!
Congratulations, you really know this game. With better decks I've done so bad, but with playing your odds, thinking a lot your plays you did it. Thanks for your content
There were some very 'Good Games' in there Paul, you love to see it! Love your passion fella, Love your content and that next months rent sorted too - lovely jubilee 😂👍
Paul! I saw your arena open when you got the last 2000 bucks, and it was the most entertaining and enjoyable few videos that I've seen from games I follow in a long while. Then I've followed almost every video of yours, but the fact that you lost that last arena open the way you did and then did this, with this deck(?!) is just mindblowing! You're the only reason I do well in my drafts, honestly. Love your passion! And a lil' bit of salt never goes wrong, makes the victory even sweeter 😉 Big congrats man!
Haven't watched it yet, didn't scroll down far enough to see the comments, but I'm liking the video and commenting in advance in hopes that you win the 2k!
That was some masterclass magic. The quality of the deck, coupled with how many hands you had to mull, i would have never expected the result. Gz Paul!
Man! Congrats Paul! This reinforces my opinion about red white in this format. I know, most people, yourself included, prefer green black and green white. But this just showed that even a mediocre boros deck in this set is highly competitive against the most busted cards in the format. I watch almost all your videos and so many times I see you pass the busted red valiant cards. To each their own. Glad to see you win the big 💰💵🤑
I think we should start a petition. If your opponent BMs an early Good Game and then you win, you get access to a new emote for the game/match of "lol get rekt". Joking aside. I'm not sure you are ever going to be able to top this video. This is it. Right here. Just so much raw emotion in a rollercoaster of a draft. Simply amazing fun to watch.
... You played OUT OF YOUR MIND! Your level of thinking and analysis, just wow .. I only have one thing to say ... "Good Game" . I'm proud of how far you made it with that deck.
waw, so happy for you Paul. Now I really want to win arena open day too. Big thanks for the content (i'll go and donate my life savings for the gems to enter))))
Paul... just when I think I have no more love left to give you you go and do something like that. The reverse good game when you beat that opponent was literally LEGEND! We should hang out. Finest Vegas buffet on me my friend
@haumph I live for those moments! Since I'm a ways off of cashing an open lol. I have no idea the best buffet in Vegas. I'm in Texas but you best believeilllook you up next time I visit. It would be an honor 😎
haha that ending was epic! love seeing your passion. pumped for you Paul!
Thank you so much for the super thanks and cheers!!!
“The miracle on mice.”
This journey (from birds 1-2 two weeks ago, to internet crash 4-0, to insane underdog 4-0) is the most thrilling mtg I’ve ever watched.
Well done, king. 👑
Thank you!
Cards don't lie
That comeback against the "Good Game" player was sooo satisfying 😂
Absolutely!
I haven't enjoyed watching a draft as much as this ever before. GOOD GAME
great games!
spoiler lines:
seeing both nummy and paul get the haul is quite satisfying
They should both put their decks up aga each other for al the cash.
@@SomeElf in the dark I’ll take his deck
@@SomeElf It wouldn't be much of a challenge yes haumph has a decent deck but I think nummys deck wins 8/10 times not shooting on either btw
@@haumph do it then
Paul, I even think you jinx yourself by goodgaming your opponent. Well deserved win!
Wow, 5 games going 2-1, what a nailbiter!
Paul, can't believe this isn't scripted. All games were so close!!
Yes very dramatic haha!
Paid actors!! 😂
This had me on the edge of my seat the entire time! Well played!
TY!
Did I just watch a low-tier Limited deck dumpster four Constructed decks at the top level of play?
Oh, and I’m 100% with you. I don’t start shit, but if my opponent does, you bet I’m taking that invitation.

Yeah it was a wild ride for sure!
Good Job Paul. Proud of you!
I’ve been watching on and off since you’ve started your channel back up and not only has your play improved but also your commentary and entertainment skills. I watch your videos every day now! Keep it up!
Awesome! Thank you!
Crazy you won with that deck Paul…after the draft I felt so bad, but incredible persistence and not giving up. What a set!
Yeah I was a pretty big underdog with this pile but happy we got there!
@@haumph amazing display of heart brother!
power of synergy. and being able to rummage away lands with the quill mouse creature
Congrats on the well-deserved win Paul! Some epic battling there.
Thank you so much!
"Never Give Up, Never Surrender" is right! What an amazing journey.

Congrats on the W. your draft pool and opponents certainly made you work for it but it was well deserved.
Thank you 😊
your sheer terror and joy is great to watch, well done!
The ending was hype, had me smiling at my phone in public
I've been playing magic for two decades on a competitive level but this draft taught me something new about gameplay. fantastic stuff. congratulations, well-deserved.
Thank you! Yeah the draft wasn’t the smoothest but we hung in there and got some great games out of it
Your reading of the board and opponent's hand shows the difference between a pro and regular players!
@@jorism244 I'm far from a pro at this point in my life. More like a seasoned amateur and draft enthusiast hah. Watching people like Nathan Steuer, LSV, Reid Duke, and Jean Emmanuel-Depraz play make me realize how big a gap there is between myself and the top pros.

That was one of the best draft videos my husband and I watched. The opponents had good decks, and it was amazing to see the mice deck overcome the odds!
Thanks and glad you and your husband enjoyed.
Amazing game play! Congratulations.
Thanks a lot!

Thank you so much. 2 videos a day would be pretty nuts for my schedule. Sometimes I have trouble with just the one!
Agreed
😁Thanks for my daily dose of why I love this game, Paul!
Thank you for your support and glad you've enjoyed the content!
that is how you finish a season! congrats paul! well-deserved! euphoria at the end haha
Oh yeah I was so pumped!
Good games, Cheon..
Some flood in the 3rd
.but that's ok.
I'm krosan01, your last game.. the "nut squirrel deck"
Congrats man !
Good games! You had an awesome deck and yeah you got flooded pretty hard in game 3. We both drew 9-10 lands I think. Your deck was definitely stronger and I knew I needed to get a little lucky to beat you.
Congratulations, Paul! That was epic!
Yes it was!
38:43 That relief and exhilaration. Love it.
Watching you play is magnificent, you’re such a well rounded player and your commentary is so valuable. What an incredible run and ending. Goated videos.
Wow, thank you! Glad you’ve enjoyed them
Unbelievably well done! Scrappy play with a scrappy deck. I really loved seeing how animated you got during the draft!
The scrappiest.
My GOD!!!! That was one of most exiciting sequences of events in Arena open that I've seen!! The comeback from internet crash, the turnovers in games with opponents with so better decks!
That was amazing to see! Congratz!
Thanks so much!
Congrats!!! Seeing people convert is awesome.
It does make me want to stop playing MtG though, haven't converted anything in a long time. Guess I'm not a good player.
You can do it!

Yeah it's definitely not cheap haha!
Wow well played. Maximum suspense underdog comeback.

Thx!
Paul... just when I think I have no more love left to give you you go and do something like that. The reverse good game when you beat that opponent was literally LEGEND! We should hang out. Finest Vegas buffet on me my friend
