my opponents: fighting til the bitter end in the casual play queue nummys opponents: "yup, good enough, imma concede on turn 3 in this high stakes qualifier"
0-2 with Azorius Detectives and a splash of black. Only got 6 rares, one was Ezrim and I tried... But it didn't work. Still, it was my first time qualifying at a Play-In for the Qualifier Weekend, and I made it on my first attempt! :D
Went 2-2 playing boros with no rares, opened 3 Doorkeeper Thrull, 3 off colors double land and the useless rare white case so I guess I can’t complain, love seeing you go for for it in such a big event. #respect
This set's flavor is starting to grow on me. I think I'm just a sucker for the detective schtick and I also like seeing a plane like Ravnica advance a little more in it's magic/mana based technology
I think the 5 color deck in this format is seen as a meme but its actually kind of underrated because of the overlooked combo between Killer Among Us and that colorless mana fixing case. People haven't really picked up on the fact that Among Us gives you WURG permanents in one card, so all you need is a single black permanent on the board to solve the case and then next turn you gave a 4/4 flying double strike vigilance creature and two blockers and if it dies the ability to make your other creatures also insane double strike fliers. You don't even need the leyline for it. I had a deck with just one of those cases and 3x among us and it was INSANE.
I had 8 rares and and played one.. a dual land. Haha better to be lucky than good 😂😂 Then i watched the vid... Nummy had some bad draws while op had some insane luck. Even when Nummy won, his op was drawing fire to stay in it haha
Similar to mine, went 0-2 with Rakdos, Robbery, Teysa, Treachery, krenko, 2 duals on color, 4 useless other rares, and lots of good removal like 3 shock. Won the games I got on the play, lost the ones I didnt...
Man that's how 95% of my games go in that or the all my cards stuck on 3.lands but only played my third land on turn 4 not 3.... I seriously found that playing 1 more card than you would irl (61 in constructed 41 in limited ) has fixed the messed up math that is arena... I think they designed it to round up and adding that 1 card messes with the algorithms "fixing them " to produce normal draws... Who really knows but it seems to help me 😅
3-3, Jeska deck, Cryptic and Warleader enchantment. Honestly good deck but 0 fixing except 1 gravestone strider, 2 frustrated loss. Congrats for your deck, i'd definityly not considerate 5C for that event ahah
Magic pouter corner: Played 6 hours of limited this morning - did not finish an event with a winning record! Thankfully I'm strictly FTP, so nothing lost but the time I'll never get back :)
That concession m1 g2 was VERY premature. At a minimum you are back in it if you find a forest and buried in the garden. Yeah those are long odds, but you arent drawing dead yet.
Oh this is sealed, for some reason I thought it was draft. Might be thinking of day two of the arena open. With three surveil lands and the pool you had, I'd struggle not to run both Niv Mizzet's and both Aurelia's. I'm not going to read the comments yet though, hoping you made it through.
Playing out Aurelia and attacking with it instead of making the land attack plays around the menace etb as well as the equipment since double blocking saves you in both cases.
But then they can kill the Aurelia with their Juggler. That play really only makes sense if you know they’re drawing a menace effect, otherwise you can potentially play Aurelia the following turn if they tap out of Juggler and force a block/ kill them if they don’t block.
@@Midnight_Lumberjack You could post combat shock the juggler. It works better here, but I guess it's not generally better than hoping to fade 1 draw step.
I went 0-2 with solid bombs, but color/mana screwed and unlucky sequencing overall. I'd much rather have lost to misplays tbh 😭 Not saying I couldn't have made better sb decisions, but no obvious misplays. Sucks to be unlucky in an event that only happens once a month
People sleep on the enchantment destroying morph 5/5, knowing there was bindings in the Opps deck I wudve thought ud side it in over one of the hellions
You had plenty of playables in RW alone. No reason not to force double Aurelia here. Ok maybe not plenty but it was doable. RW with double Aurealia and assemble would be my way to go here. And yes assemble is not bad in sld.
I've seen Deathsie force quite a few Niv decks (including multiple double niv ones) and they..........tend to faulter to a lot of stuff and Niv's weak to some very common cards, let alone the real bombs of this set. Just doesn't work sadly :(
It’s kind of comical how much worse this Niv is compared to the previous 5C one. I feel like even if his ability triggered on ETB he still wouldn’t be good.
Sealed is a joke with all the randomness. Last time I did a sealed event was paper Ixalan. For promos you either got one of two standard playable bombs or a completely unplayable lifegain sorcery. Absolute joke of a format.

I always watch Nummy vids but when I see "double Niv" in the title I MASH that play button
0-2 Rakdos With Massacre Girl, Incinerator of Guilty and Judith. Magic, baby. Thanks for cheering me up with this chaos u made :D
See you did the 1st part of sealed in pulling bombs, but forgot the 2nd important part of drawing bombs
@@narfidy444lololololol beautifully stated
@@narfidy444 yeah bud, what's more important, is drawing lands, then bombs sometimes. Or mot drawing them :)
Building that took Balls. I really respect that. ❤
That scoop by the first opponent was horrendous.

Thanks for the help on X/Twitter yesterday! I likewise didn't open or draw so hot today. Always a pleasure to watch your videos though, cheers.

i was so ready for the push/pull topdeck
I had 8 rares and and played one.. a dual land. Haha better to be lucky than good 😂😂
Then i watched the vid... Nummy had some bad draws while op had some insane luck. Even when Nummy won, his op was drawing fire to stay in it haha
Love watching his approach on 5 color decks
I try to like all the videos I watch but those early reminders are good for me to remember ha
"Welllll this isn't going very well, is it?" @41:51 this is me for every draft qualifier ever.
34:02 you underestimate Niv! (He has hexproof from buried in the garden)
34:00 Sir Nummy, Niv has protection from Multicolored
Looked like a damned awkward pool, Kenji. FWIW, I think you did the best you could.
That pink sprinkle doughnut emote guy was so obnoxious lol
Similar to mine, went 0-2 with Rakdos, Robbery, Teysa, Treachery, krenko, 2 duals on color, 4 useless other rares, and lots of good removal like 3 shock. Won the games I got on the play, lost the ones I didnt...
I've always found him to be tolerant and accepting
30:09
Went 2-2, was 3rd game on round 4.. drew 17 cards and 11 of them were lands. Savage
Man that's how 95% of my games go in that or the all my cards stuck on 3.lands but only played my third land on turn 4 not 3....

Sweet deck! I'm glad you went for the fun play.=
Magic pouter corner: Played 6 hours of limited this morning - did not finish an event with a winning record! Thankfully I'm strictly FTP, so nothing lost but the time I'll never get back :)
Isn't it nice to have a high quality, prominent game be free to play?!?! Best thing they did with Arena.
@@PTDBond Without question. Anybody in the world can play this excellent game for free. It's addictive, so they have that going for them :)
Thanks for the great content. Awesome quality entertainment.
1:12:05 Trostani gives double strike but you're right that red/black doesnt give double strike iirc
I also opened double Niv, glad I wasn’t alone in my suffering :)
offender at large is one of the best morphs bro..
I also opened double Niv Mizzet with terrible support. It didn't go well.
That concession m1 g2 was VERY premature. At a minimum you are back in it if you find a forest and buried in the garden. Yeah those are long odds, but you arent drawing dead yet.
when the title says double niv and the video is 1h40 u know its gonna b good.
Double Miz huh? This one should be interesting. Not sure if the qualifier is the time to pull such a ballsy experiment though. 😂

@@Midnight_Lumberjack right, I forgot about juggler
@@Midnight_Lumberjack You could post combat shock the juggler. It works better here, but I guess it's not generally better than hoping to fade 1 draw step.
Yeah, I also thought that would be a slightly better play.
@@JamesDrake-u9u Yeah, you could shock the juggler. There is some more play to it than I gave credit, but I think waiting was still correct :)

GGs man! ❤
My sealed pool was 3 officious investgation, a niv mizzet, a kylox and a forensic gadgeteer. I went 0-2

1:37:00 ONE TIME !
I tried sealed twice and couldnt even get a deck together :< not my cup of tea, but interesting to watch
Went 4-2 WB splashing Agrus.
Bad is bad... sigh, goodluck !!
Just like ya said in an earlier vid of urs, Naya's the way to go.
I've seen Deathsie force quite a few Niv decks (including multiple double niv ones) and they..........tend to faulter to a lot of stuff and Niv's weak to some very common cards, let alone the real bombs of this set. Just doesn't work sadly :(
that last opponent slow rolled?
It’s kind of comical how much worse this Niv is compared to the previous 5C one. I feel like even if his ability triggered on ETB he still wouldn’t be good.

Comment for the algorithm
Incinerator of the Guilty is a gross card, i've lost to it 3 times already this format. 🤕
play boosters were a mistake
1:21:51 I thought disguise doesn't use the stack, so shouldn't you have been able to flip and pass straight into declare blockers?
The flip doesn’t go on the stack, that’s why the murder killed the face up creature. Both players still exchange priority after the flip
Play boosters have ruined sealed, I used to love sealed but not anymore
High roll you did not.
+
NGL, I think this format straight up stinks. This pool is entirely representative of that. 😂
Niv mizzet is really crap here
