There was redemption earlier today on stream... I finally draft AND cast emrakul :) kzfaq.infobkJNmc979zk?si=BLlJRKQpnTtSPkYu&t=5807

The way he felt this draft, I feel 7 out of 9 Times playing arena

I know this draft was probably very flustrating. I think it's completely reasonable to feel frustrated. But I wanted to say thank you, Numont, for uploading these types of drafts. I know I struggle to keep from getting salty with those types of draws/ games. It for sure helps to see others also get the magic RNG nat 1. As always, i appreciate your content.

I hate looking at video length after seeing Eminem first pack

Not the sub 40 mins video lenght 😭

This is my experience on arena 9/10 times, I cant explain it. It is literally bad for my mental health so I had to uninstall. I draft at my local lgs every Friday night and it feels so much more enjoyable and balanced somehow.

Nummy is experiencing 85% of my MH3 draft experience! This draft feels worse than most others i've done.

The variance giveth and the variance shiteth upon thy face

The deck was not only cool but looked hella powerful. And you just got curb stomped by the crys to crys death train

I was getting ready to fall asleep, told myself, "put on a nice nummy video", and now I am Pissed.

Bro, I'm convinced at this point matchmaking is based on card interaction. I remember when people including myself started noticing that whenever enchantments aren't even relevant if you run Loran of the Third Path or something that is enchantment removal somehow you start facing more people that play enchantments lol and whenever you play an off meta deck that plays an enchantment because no one will likely be playing enchantment removal somehow you meet all the enchantment removal players.

Emrakul would low key be a great cheerleader with all those tentacles. I see the vision

27:30 I like how Arena took extra long to pair so Nummy can keep rambling his extra salty monologue. Right after rigging the last two games of course

What is it about humans??? We really enjoy watching other humans lose spectacularly. Thanks for sharing.

Don't let the 39m video fool you! Every Emrakul play is a skip for the fast 7-0 wins!

The matchmaking/shuffler combo strikes again 🫡

I opened an emrakul in sealed and was able to cast him twice for the win both times. Went 6-3on that sealed.

I played OG eldraine today, had a really cool B/G deck that was a bit slow and ended up playing against merfolk secret keeper - the deck multiple times in a row, always on the draw. made me feel similarly.

Good thing the redemption stream happened after this! Thanks for the content as always!

Think to madness him the connive knight is the best bet. There is not many other options and getting to 12 is near impossible.

Does anyone know if a draft token, like the one you can get from the hideaway, will work for the upcoming mtg arena DIRECT draft?

The blue splash was sus nummy!

lol first thought when i opened the video was nice tank. looking good dog.

Truther Nummy arc 😢

Sees title: Alright! Sees video length: ...Maybe it goes really, really well.

The dark arc of Tomun

poor Wump only a 6/6

Look at it this way. You got a copy of Emrakul without having to spend a mythic wild card. That's a fair consolation prize...

The most relative video from Numot I have ever seen

"I just wanna have fun, man." I hear ya, but what you experienced is what most of us face in Arena. Mana screw/flood, insane OP draws, shitty personal draws. All that with decks that look good when drafted. As you say so well: that's Magic, baby.

I commented the other day, so sad that you had pick 2 ignored a conduit goblin to play a crab. But the emrakul is worth it. And I'm so so so glad you ignored the conduit goblin. xD

In this video: old man yells at clouds

Thats magic nummy.

Punished by passing all those spawn-gangs

Yup, been there! I feel your pain.

Feel you on the villain arc😭

Emrakul: im helping

Wow this deck looks sick, I can't wait to see us make 7-0 ! ... Wait a sec !

this video is soul crushing

BEEN WAITING FOR THIS edit: just finished the video this one was heartbreaking😢

I am becoming a matchmaking truther as well. So many times I draft a wacky deck that has like some very specific set of cards and I end up playing in the mirror. Examples like in OTJ I drafted a double Simulacrum Synthesizer deck with tons of 3 mana "bad" artifacts and in match 1 I play against another Simulacrum Synthesizer deck, but then in match 2 I play against a deck that wasn't a Simulacrum Synthesizer deck, but was rather just a deck from a clearly new player who put a bunch of the "bad" 3 mana artifacts in their deck because they didn't really know what they were doing. (This was in bo3 too, which threw my truther hat on even harder)

I tell you its how they programmed the game. Mirror matches are more frequent and the better your deck bet you'll be playing against just as good if not better decks. I blame the programmer.

Looks like me everytime I draft eldrazi 😂

The one time i got ulamog i never cast it in 5 games.

This is the best deck I have ever seen. How does this happen?!

Ah this is every game I’ve drafted on arena.

No shot i drilled 87 drafts when youve done 86 lol

Black looked oretty insanely open

The dark side of mh3 draft

Why remove when you can take it the creatures! :D

The heat wave is real, hit 112 over the weekend where I live :(

17:50 I had an opponent who had 3 crystaliz. He won obviosly.

I agree with your sentiment on being matched with similar decks. When I played a slow deck every deck was a slow one, when I went boros rush down every opponent was a quick deck. Such awful matchmaking

Game two is my experience in this format... Just turn 3 Chrys every time

Emrakul hype

All of your opponents got to select their starting hands, apparently. 😢

I really feel like arena is the most rigged game of all time. Whatever their matchmaker is doing just isn't fun.

All these flavours and you choose to be salty. :D

Yes Kenji, I know exactly how infuriating that is. As a F2P player, saving up gold to finally do a draft and then going 0-3, makes me want to uninstall the game.

The shuffler is rigged, but at least the streamer is the #1 mythic ranked vin diesel cosplayer

Man, I am salty for you. GG

In the second Eldrazi mirror match (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gp6Sotp3u6ezdGQ.html), I think you could have chained the Crys into Glimpse and that would have let your Crys threaten to grow big enough to hold them back. Though would have meant delaying the Meddler further, and I can understand being cautious about putting all your spawn in one basket right after they cleared out the wumpus...

He's beginning to believe...

This set power level is very dumb

Thug look 😂

You can't handle the truth 😆😂

34:55 why would he bestow the elk instead of playing it as a creature for double block. Seems like a big punt

This game sometimes, I've had super sick decks go 0-3, and some jank trophy.... It's just magic baby.

lol mad baldy

4:51 *Lowers shirt, IMMEDIATELY wheels powerful cards* Jeez Eldrazi, don't be a simp XDXD

Let the salt flow bro

Well, I think we can all guess how this one went.

This was how my first 3 drafts played out and im in bronze OP with nuts draws and all the rares and mythics i dont get it, drafting this format not so much fun.

love u kenji

Numot the salt

Kul Eldrazi deck

Just convinced me not to play MH3 anymore. I thought it was just me that had these kind of opponents

Rigged to the max, that’s how Wizards treats their customers

All you had to do to pull Emrakul is show a little skin XD

lol imagine being in the bottom bracket 0-2 and going up against mythic top ten with 2 wumps and 2 chyslis. probably never play again

8 mins in Oh My God!! 35 mins in. What a joke! I’m never playing arena again

1:15, not really. there's like 2 - the ocelot and the guide of souls

If I didn't watch your streams, I'd be so let down by Emrakul's showing today. Luckily, there was a comeback.

Ruff

Sad times

🙅Magic Arena: No Fun Allowed🙅

Not outplayed but outdrafted... the problem with the eldrazi deck ist, that there is always a better eldrazi deck. and when you havn´t drafted removal you loose straight up against them

Kozilek beats Emrakul every day of the week…

Very relatable, except for the card quality in your deck.. 😅 this set has me triggered non stop

Sometimes the other decks are just better

"there are plenty of rares or mythics you would take over Chrysalis" ... no you wouldnt, it has teh 5th highest winrate of ANY card of ANY rarity xD its crazy. btw Amped Raptor has the 2nd highest and is an uncommon, the other cards above it are Phlage Ocelot and Guide

Isn't trickster elk absolutely terrible? Was surprised you didn't cut it in favour of more impactful cards. That first game was miserable, absolutley any card would have been better than an elk there.

I have decks of all color combinations and Arena tends to have me playing against decks with the same colors as mine... I change the deck and it happens again and again...there's something going on there...

The fact that you're top 10 mythic and only playing against diamond/plat players is abysmal matchmaking. They're effectively drafting against bots. You're almost always going to have a worse deck.

I wear the tin foil hat proudly kenji, ive even drunk emailed them and somehow got a free 750 gems from them 😂

😢

Bro.

😢😢

This proves the matchmaker uses deck strength to match up. Amazing deck = quick losses almost every time.

OMG... :/ :P
