I've only played a handful of Pioneer Masters drafts. They're very complicated and I'm not seasoned with Magic's history to know how good the cards are. Despite that, just drafting B.R.E.A.D style in Black-Green served me a nice 3-0 in a Traditional Draft. I think the big green creatures have very efficient stats and the black removal is just plain great that it's enough to win even against the extreme synergy of Boros heroic or the gates deck.
Nice deck. I don’t think I’ll have your discipline to turn down Gates after seeing Gates Ablaze and Colossus, but it worked out pretty good. You’re spoiling us with trophy marathons, keep ‘em coming! As for Q’er weekend, I’m not much a fun of FDN sealed myself, but I watch all your content anyway. Cheers!
I was annoyed at pioneer masters being to new and complex to me but watching you play the last 3 drafts in this format has been entertaining and cool. Awesome content and channel ❤
When Paul drafts control i feel i know each pick he'll make, but here i would first jump in UG flash, in pack 2 to I'd be GW taking the lion, followed by 2 smiters, and for sure I'd splash rurick tar on the wheel. Intresting😊
I was your round 4 opponent. The double block was definitely a mistake. Don’t know why I just didn’t register you had black mana, oops! I made the block to potentially soak up a trample point
If you assume that the opponent has a random 2 color combo, the odds that it has green or white is 70% (not 40%). If you don't understand why, make a list - GW, GB, BU, GR, WB, WU, WR (vs BU, RU, BR).
As far as the sealed goes, if you still want to play it but don't want to crush someone's dreams, you could always try to play a really ambitious deck. Like just try to play all your rares and play a bunch of colors. You might not get that far and it'd probably still be fun
“How are we rank 42?”
It’s because you are an absolute monster with the cards, Paul.
Gotta love that intro : "I just had a burrito the size of my head." As long as it gives you the energy to draft at your heart's content we'll take it!
Watching you has become part of my morning routine while bottle feeding my baby girl! Keep the content coming 🎉
That's awesome, glad I can be a part of your morning routine!
Part of your morning routine and part of my evening routine!
I also watch while feeding my infant son at night, he's going to be a menace once he's old enough to play
I too watch Cheon drafts while up too early with my baby girl!
I listen every morning on my way to work 😊
I have only ever got to mythic once playing arena and i can confidently say Paul Cheon is the reason why. I learn so much.
Congrats on mythic!
"You line up, what is that thing called, the football."
Look I'm not an athlete!
Appreciate you editing out the "Your Go" sweetheart being salty at 1:00:20
i've only seen the first two picks but i'm excited
edit: 5th pick poly-k did ppl read the card haha
Great stuff mr cheon, really great to see such a humble pro
I'm the humblest guy I know

Paul: this deck is weak to control.
Proceeds to destroy every control matchup.
At 48:50, should the opponent have used gates ablaze before playing his creature?
man, that first pack was stacked!
yes!
45:12 Wouldn't stuff like Bloomburrow's "Draft mice or rabbits and win" or outlaws "Draft green white and win" the closest recent examples, heh..
How the hell do you get a pod with 4 people next to you passing Poulkranos? I need more of that...

Glad to help you get familiar with the format!
Given how much that trophy has swollen your head, that burrito MUST have been massive ;)
It was huge

Fair enough!
@@haumphJudging by the comments and the title, you have found the correct lane. Rally enjoying the good spirit and great content, Paul.
@@inkjorbas ty!
5th pick Polukranos... excuse me?
Seeing Polukranos and Whisperwood in the same deck is making me want to play old standard mono green devotion.
yeah that was insane!
Man, I want a burrito the size of my head now.
Whisperwood Elemental is bonkers. 😊
for sure!
SIR the GW that could have been 😢 Fleecemane Lion, triple Smiter
Still, solid solid deck, and extremely fine player
Let's go Mr. Cheon!!!
gogo!
Great run lately!!
I was your round 4 opponent. The double block was definitely a mistake. Don’t know why I just didn’t register you had black mana, oops! I made the block to potentially soak up a trample point
Must say, some strange plays from the opponents in this one
I didn’t know you were a vintage cube player before you started UA-cam content
i sure was!
Ah, to become a true Cheonite of culture you must return to the days of Blue White Cheons and baby drafts
Angler is fantastic. Play a 5/5 for 1 mana with delve

Rank 400 to top 20 in 2 drafts. Let the other drafters have a chance Paul 😮
Never!
Play the qualifier!!!! Do it!!!!
Make the qualifier question your poll question.
My wife measures food with her head too lol
lol
voyaging satyr has got to be better than catacomb sifter in creature ramp deck yes?!
Very unlikely. Sifter is very strong

dude play the qualifier, you are doing great, sealed will never be your fault , and if you win???
I'm already qualified!
First
p1p5 LOL
