PICK 1 PACK 1 EMRAKUL, FINALLY! | Top 10 Mythic | Modern Horizons 3 Draft | MTG Arena

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.

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?

"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.

Thats magic nummy.

MTG arena has trash matchmaking.

Numot the salt

Looks like me everytime I draft eldrazi 😂

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

lol - feel you on that one bro.. go workout lift heavy shit

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)

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

Punished by passing all those spawn-gangs

All these flavours and you choose to be salty.

:D

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

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

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...

lol mad baldy

In this video: old man yells at clouds

rigged

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.

"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

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

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

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

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...

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.

You can't handle the truth 😆😂

Man, I am salty for you. GG

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.

Sad times

What is it about humans???




We really enjoy watching other humans lose spectacularly.

Thanks for sharing.

This level of tilt and frustration is what I experience 9 times out of 10 drafts. I try so hard...

love u kenji

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.

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

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

Bro.

OMG... :/ :P

how is everyone not a “thruther” at this point? do people not understand the algorithmically mediated hellscape our whole society is now entrapped in? An AI-Driven technofeudalist big tech monopoly culture, how is it surprising the matchmaker is rigged? The whole world is “rigged” lol.
Btw in my opinion the problem is not the matchmaker existing, it’s that it is a dumb algorithm. You saw the leaks, it’s just a random weight put on cards. Its reasonable to assume they didnt use that only for Brawl.
If they actually used an AI trained deeply from players matches, maybe it could actually find a middle-ground where it could favor fun gameplay and stuff. That tech does exist and could be used. But it’s not being used.

🙅Magic Arena: No Fun Allowed🙅

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.

Play better 💁
