This Draft Was Pure Genius Or Pure Insanity | Outlaws of Thunder Junction Draft | MTG Arena

- There's a fine line between genius and insanity and I'm not entirely sure which side we ended up after this draft. This is one of the wilder drafts I've done as I'm usually on the more conservative end of the spectrum and often preach consistency over power. Well, let's just say we threw that out the window in this draft.

(me, approvingly, having not yet watched the video) Paul finally learned how to properly clickbait, I am all here for it
game 1 was awesome, that's magic baby
You've triggered a suppressed memory of my opponent double Archive Trapping me while giving me the GGs and I'm pretty upset about it (again)
Things like game 1 are the reason we play Magic.
Thanks!
Incredible comeback, what games, what a deck!
There are two Pauls: one tries to win, the other just haumphs all the cool rares, and they're both fighting for control
Dr. Cheon and Mr. HAUMPH
Another Great Game, congrats Paul and seeing an unorthodox deck like this is really entertaining. :) Love your content ^^
This may be the greatest draft I've ever watched. This is why I love Magic. Great games!
Ggs!
Fun control deck, loved how you salvaged this draft and the build. And lots of great decisions during game play too!
I guess someone already suggested this but in the last game you could swipe the board by taking the mana in the pool in response to their Varmint sacrifice. Then, let them resolve that effect to destroy your Buried in the garden and once Paladin is back on the battlefield, you play your Wrath because it's instant.
Great job piloting that weird but fun deck anyway :) It was nice to watch. Love your videos! ❤
I can't believe you pulled it off! Nice work. Thanks for the great content.
Appreciate it!
this kind of draft experience just happens sometimes in otj - black and green are the only colors w good lower rarity stuff so if you cant get into one of those color pairs you're at the mercy of the packs.
I think this flashback it seems people are hesitant to draft blue and blue is good when it's open, and red white, make the gw drafter sad and take all good red cards
Man, I was rooting hard for your deck. So much fun!
The 4/5 collor bomb/soup piles were the thing that made this format great. Its just funny seeing the opponents reaction after you curve like an Oko, Thief of Crowns into a Bruce Tarl. Or those insanely stupid shuffler moments when you/the opponent somehow plays 5 diferent basics without any fixing.😅
Game 1 was an amazing match of magic. Thanks for another great video.
gg man, good job! I'm still quite new to mtg arena, bloomburrow is my jam, i've been sticking to doing bloomburrow quickdrafts
This is the kind of decks I'm looking for. Nice job Mr Cheon !
This draft was an explosive derailment, but somehow you make it work!
You can do a controlly deck if you get some deep muck desperados for more mill and some pickpockets to recast the archive traps. It’s surprising how fast you can mill people when your lands mill them and your removal does too.
28:45 this is why I love this format
Really enjoyed this set when it first came up and having some fun playing it on the flashback. Gotta say the grindy green,black deck is my fav
Paul more drafts like this plzzzzzz 😭❤️
That first game is where, if you were the opponent, you would say that the player has no respect for the game the way the deck was built.
Fun seeing it the other way around tho.
Paul most days: Do not draft four color piles.
Paul today after match 1 with his four color pile: THIS FEELING IS INCREDIBLE!
Beginning of pack 3 - no 1, 2 or 3 drops. Yea I'm gonna go with pure insanity.
Nice round. Double sphinx too good
Great draft in the end. On this flashback draft, out of 4 drafts I only trophied with Blue/White. Was also carried by Stoic Sphinx a lot, haha.
Crazy games! Awesome video ❤
Glad you liked it!
Crazy one!
3:43 alright, I cant fault you for at least trying to take all the sweet cards. Will pass you my twitch prime thing this month
“I thought I was a five percenter”
Yeah Paul, you were :)
I cannot believe you won that first game. I’d probably have conceded. I seriously doubt I’d have seen the opening.
Great Games Paul !
I've been saving my coins/gems for Aetherdrift, but man these games are making OTJ look really good right now
You've activated my 🤓 TRAP CARD 😢😢😢
Nice trophy! Well fought
Thanks!
I don't think it came up, but Path to Exile would have made for a pretty good combo with Archive Trap. They'd have to decline to play a land from their deck to get out of it.
Nice comeback paul!
Ty!
OTJ and drafting insanely powerful four color soup, name a more iconic duo
ha I love those games were you just clutch a win after being 'almost dead' for several turns
yeah we had a few of those haha
Love this deck
you tried something different and it turned out to be a real fun deck and won the trophy, YES👌
@@rubezahlmtg9760 the best result!
Wow! Wow! Those are really nice games. It’s looking like a train wreck from the start. But man, how did you pull this off? I can easily 0-3 this deck 😂 I still don’t think archive trap belongs in here, but you managed to win 1 game with it, so I guess that’s a win? Great games!
I really love OTJ, my favorite deck by far was double cruel ultimatum nonsense.
Btw last match you could have waited for your opponent to destroy buried in the garden, tap it for white and use final showdown at instant speed for the clean 3x1.
bandits haul doing its job
What a swingy format. Thanks for the video.
Yeah for sure!
I think the last game they may have been worried you had a counter spell when they killed your flier. Then you surveiled in response and they played Paladin after.
Every “flashy” rare after you took 2 flash rares, I see what you did there
The free Archive Trap at 46:09 !?!?!?!?
I had a crazy draft yesterday that went 7-2. p1p1 Sword of Wealth and Power. Ended up in UW with only 1 card splashed in any other colours... Villainous Wealth. 5 of my wins came from copying VW with sword for x=5 or more :D
I was the final boss. From memory i was 5-1 at that point and always thought matchmaking was with same records but maybe not.
At 1:16:00, isn't it fine to keep showdown up, or am I missing something? If they play and activate varmint, react by tapping for two mana. If they just play it, you can also play it for 6; activating varmint in response still leaves their board empty.
I think the upside of being able to play sphinx and sweep the board while protecting it was worth the risk
@@haumph I think they are referring to the fact that Final showdown is an instant. If the opponent activated voracious varmint, you could showdown after the paladin hit the field and make it a 4 for 1.
countering the Stoic
Was Not Bad
desperado a 2/4 for 3 is a great body in this format
it's not a very good card
What colors are you?!
(Says the guy who is, uh, FOUR colors)
🙃
It's all in good fun
OTJ Soup Control... when in Rome they say. Lol
1st game was amazing
Hi, how do play-in points work? I reached top 1200 for the first time but didn't get any points
Game 1 - Glamer, exile their token and kill the 6/5?
Cheon can you plsssss do a set review for aetherdrift
Doing one on Limited Resources!
This looks like most of my drafts in OTJ - not trying to be negative but this set is kind of a mess TBH.
I'm not even three minutes into the video, so with that context, I'll say that Path to Exile is not a great Limited card. In many situations, it's not even good.
Late game, obviously it's the best removal spell likely ever, but in the earlier stages, turning your opponents three or four drop into a land could be catastrophic, especially in a format like OTJ, with lots of great big spells and splashing being more frequent than usual.
I’m aware of the upsides and downsides of path to exile and frequently talk about it but will note that it’s just such an efficient card in the late game that I give it a little more credit than I used to
Gotcha, and thanks for sharing your thoughts, both in the comments and in your videos. Always deeply appreciated even if it's never said.
