Hey I was your third opponent with the Izzet deck, cool to see you trophied at the Open. I ended up going 2-2 off our match. At the end of game 2, I had Crackle with Power and I was debating casting it for X=1 and swinging with Lilah but it felt like you had removal, I decided it'd be safer to wait for one more land and cast it for X=2 but I wasn't expecting lethal. Well played and congrats man!
Nice! Kenji says he does not play perfectly and I know what he means, but at the same time he's narrating the whole time. I tried to comment on how to draft once to show my friends the basics and it was not easy at all to keep track of everything. Let's just say that lots of mistakes where made. I appreciate all the videos you have put over all these years. Congrats on the win!
Yep -- I do have realized that double strike is good - been plying with red cards with that .. but that one can untap creatures that saddled something with it also to make them attack as well did not think of that before even tho the art kinda shows those kind of shenanigans going on.. :D
My favorite part is that during the “practice” draft videos, kenji said he’ll save drafting the white green mount deck for the open…. And here we are, perfect timing. GGs WP
Holy shit. I can't believe you actually went all the way. GOOD JOB NUMMY! I thought you played pretty darn well myself and you saw the few misplays or better plays you could have done. Very well drafted and savor that $2,000 :D
Dude Nummy u killed it!! Really nice to see after watching u do very well with this set in recent weeks, probably a set you won't forget anytime soon, congrats again!!!
Great content. Enjoyed seeing the success after watching you have a lot of unpleasant time in this format. I wonder if making sealed the gateway to the $ games is a business decision. The high variability in pools means a wide group of medium players have a punchers chance, motivating them to gem up. And experts can fall to variance meaning they have to make more tries on average. Win-win financially for Hasbro. I'm always curious about the Arena business model and would love to see their financial analytics.
Not only that, people with plenty of money or gems have an incentive to just keep rerolling sealed pools until they get something busted to save on time (see LSV's recent day 1 video).
Don't normally comment but that was awesome. Really enjoyed watching the journey through the open. Thought the shepherd deserved an honourable mention at the end too, that thing did some great work. Congrats on the 2k.
Hell yeah man congrats. Well deserved, happy for you bro. That was awesome to watch. Thanks for the amazing content. Truly appreciate it and glad to see you dominate day two like that.
I felt your enjoyment at that last win you got there mate. Just want to point out, that you drafted excellent,not well and you played it 99% of skill requirements , dont be so tough judge with yourself. There is always room for improvement but you are the draft king after all😉💪👊
Man I kept hoping in pack 3 that you would get a Miriam and thought you could do well with that to fill out the deck. Little did I know you would still get an amazing deck. Might have to take the wife out for dinner after this one. Well played!!!
not gonna lie, was not expecting a deck with this little removal to make it. I think kenji kinda got lucky not facing extremely bomb heavy decks, and drew really well, but of course also played and drafted well.
that type of trick only works when ALL *targets* of a spell aren't there at resolution for instance if derailment said "destroy target artifact, draw a card" I would be able to sac the treasure to counter it, but because the actual derailment is also targeting a creature it will still try to accomplish as much as it can

Really tells a story about sealed when Kenji managed to go undefeated both drafts and in sealed is a struggle to qualify
Winning the 2k with a 26/26 trampling Tumblewagg was really stylish. Congrats!
Nice!

Doesn't have to be perfect if its better than your opponents. :)
43:40 that was the best rustler rampage i've ever seen
Tumblewagg ftw! That raider rampage was great. Probably tricks opponents were not expecting.
Yep -- I do have realized that double strike is good - been plying with red cards with that .. but that one can untap creatures that saddled something with it also to make them attack as well did not think of that before even tho the art kinda shows those kind of shenanigans going on.. :D
Thinking of it - you could even have opponents creatures untap with it - just to commit a crime.. :D
Congrats!
That’s Magic baby! …and the money goes to the baby 😂
Lets go, was waiting for this one all day.
My favorite part is that during the “practice” draft videos, kenji said he’ll save drafting the white green mount deck for the open…. And here we are, perfect timing. GGs WP
Ty Nummy! My vicarious revenge!! I had a sick day 2 draft 2 deck after going 4-0 in draft 1 and lost to MISERABLE draws.. well done! 😊 👏
I've watched a lot of your arena opens, and this is the first one I think you've won out! Congrats!!!
Was patiently waiting for this. So glad the wait is worth it. So happy for you. Let’s go!!!
Holy shit. I can't believe you actually went all the way. GOOD JOB NUMMY! I thought you played pretty darn well myself and you saw the few misplays or better plays you could have done. Very well drafted and savor that $2,000 :D
I like when Nummy got the $500 he was doing his best to stay calm and not get too boastful lol
Congratulations! Can't dream it up better than green white mounts named Fortune in a real money draft.
Fortune favours the bold, full steam ahead 🎉🎉
Congrats Kenji, well played!
🎉Crushed it🎉
It’s nice seeing you enjoy Magic again. Last couple sets I was asking myself “Is this the last set we get Num content? “
Ayo! Congrats. That’s so dope.
I always try to not see title/vod length, so i was on the edge of my seat some of these games, Grats Nummy well earned.
I opened 2 Tumblewaggs and promptly went 1-3 in my draft with a great deck. I love Magic.
Bro congrats you deserve it!!!
Dude Nummy u killed it!! Really nice to see after watching u do very well with this set in recent weeks, probably a set you won't forget anytime soon, congrats again!!!
good shit nummy!
Congratulations!! So much fun to watch, though every time you worried, I worried.

While I certainly enjoy the Kenji bad beats and tilts as much as anyone....it's also nice to see our boy win it all sometimes too
Don't normally comment but that was awesome. Really enjoyed watching the journey through the open. Thought the shepherd deserved an honourable mention at the end too, that thing did some great work. Congrats on the 2k.
You used my favourite saddle tumblewagg ..deck played great..no one dropped any bombs..great win! 2k bagged.
Congrats Kenji! Well deserved.
I absolutely love these videos
Nice stuff Nummy. I was rooting for you. Glad you got some of that “diaper $” 😂
Entertaining series Nummy - thanks for posting these!! Love to see you win!! 🎉 Congrats!!
its nice to see all your hard work through the season pay off! good job! well deserved!
Congrats Kenji. Skilful drafting and play mate. Super happy to see this!!!
Are you able to post videos in 1440p? It would make reading some cards a lot easier. Especially when they're not zoomed in on.
Felt like during last week's uploads you got unlucky during a lot of the drafts and/or during the games, glad to see you win this one! Well deserved!!
ggs!! You earned the baby a gold plated diaper with that one! Well done.
Congrats! The Ending was incredible, keep it up.
Well done! Nice getting to see Rustler's Rampage do some work.
Cha-ching!! Love to see a smile on your face papa Kenji. Looking forward to more drafts and MH3.
THAT'S MAGIC BABY!!
Congrats!! That was so juice! So glad to see Golden God crushing!
Well deserved! Feel like you had poor luck with Opens recently! Great vid man!
Hell yeah man congrats. Well deserved, happy for you bro. That was awesome to watch. Thanks for the amazing content. Truly appreciate it and glad to see you dominate day two like that.
You drafted well, got very decent hands/draws and played strong. Nicely done.
Awesome deck and great run Kenji!.
Crazy strong creatures for a GW mount deck.
Congrats Nummy. Missing lethal on the previous cash was heartbreaking so greta to see a clean sweep big cash day
That was very enjoyable to watch, thank you Nummy!
Fitting that Green White help with the 2k. Congratulation and Great games.

Nice win! Turns out a perfect creature curve is better than excess removal
Awesome matches and great content as always. Could you avoid spoilers in the title though?
This more than makes up for the heartbreak in MKM good stuff!
Congrats, well played.
You navigated it like a sailor...congrats for the 2-year diaper's prize!
Niiiiiiiice. Well done, sir. Drew well when it counted and took care of the rest.
Way to go nummy. Happy for you. Fun to watch h
let's go, can't think of anyone that deserves it more than you sir.
What a wild ride. Amazing run Kenji!
Congrats on the HUGE wins!!
Congrats, Kenji! Watching for the second time because of course.
Man I kept hoping in pack 3 that you would get a Miriam and thought you could do well with that to fill out the deck. Little did I know you would still get an amazing deck. Might have to take the wife out for dinner after this one. Well played!!!
Purrrrfect! Great job Master Kenji. ❤️
Feels so good seeing you win! Congrats!
"Feel gooood, feel goooood. 5 hundred dalla..." lol

Was waiting for this one ^^
Definately a full steam ahead deck. Ggs and make sure to get the baby something nice.
Congratulations, well deserved!
Congratulations Kenji!
not gonna lie, was not expecting a deck with this little removal to make it. I think kenji kinda got lucky not facing extremely bomb heavy decks, and drew really well, but of course also played and drafted well.
Congrats Kenji! You deserve it!
Winning in style. Congrats, well deserved.
Wag your way to victory! Congratulations on 2,000 more for baby!
Rustler rampage was low key an mvp in a few of those wins!!! underrated card imo
GGs!
Great games Nummy. Great video!!🎉🎉
Great games man, that was something.
Congratz man you really deserve it!
Well played and great draft!
Congrats bro you killed it here
at 1:03:18 you could sacrifice the treasure and counter Derailment completely, no?
that type of trick only works when ALL *targets* of a spell aren't there at resolution
for instance if derailment said "destroy target artifact, draw a card" I would be able to sac the treasure to counter it, but because the actual derailment is also targeting a creature it will still try to accomplish as much as it can
thank you, Nummy
Congrats! Great decks!
Congratz, well deserved
Man, green was completely taken in my draft, had to shift to blue after the first pack, because it was the only color that was obviously open.
bro deserves the win. nice job man!
Congrats man! U deserve it! Cheers
Hey guys, I think green in OTJ might be as broken as black in LOTR. Yeah, big shocking _news_ right?
Hey! Great stuff. Well played! Love to see it.
Congrats man! 8-0! What a run!
Congrats and well played!
