I can always count on Paul to provide such clever insight like: "If we draw lands, then our spell/lands will be spells." Lol. Great content as usual. I'm enjoying these mh3 runs. It's awesome to see non eldrazi decks working. I think mh3 has a lot of cool archtypes.
Mr Cheon, you're one of the most enternaing player to see nowaday. I hadn't saw your draft videos before and this was very refreshing. Thanks for sharing :)
@@jeffr.1681I’m pretty sure they tweak the bots to pick things based on how people are drafting. At least it seems that way when they bring back the quick draft the 2nd time around for a set. But on the other hand there’s probably only two people coding arena in all of wotc so who knows.
The cut at 1:17:15 is my favorite part. Just know that Paul went off about the Chrysalis, and decided to edit it out. Don't have to play this format much to absolutely hate the card, haha. Great video, Paul.
Hey Paul! You should start a counter from now til the next format comes out for every time you or your opponent plays Chrysalis and the match just ends
Your thunder adventure reminds me of the story my mom told me of lightning striking right outside her house. Said it was the loudest thing she's ever heard, and it made the deactivated crt tv glow from static afterward.
The amulet has played like phyrexian arena for two mana that damages my opponent whenever I put it into any of my red energy decks. Just make sure you have the two drops that make energy when they enter
The amulet's been very good for me. Most RW decks have plenty of energy to fuel it for the whole game. The extra damage and cards make it really hard for the slow decks to stabilize against you,
Regarding the amulet, it's my favourite card in the set. It's really amazing in energy decks, but probably not at its best in a more aggro focused deck. I do think the inventor is replaceable enough that I'd take the amulet there, but it's definitely not a premier 2 drop for the deck. Based on the density of 4 and 5 drops as well as discharges we had in the end amulet probably works fine too.
I think the amulet gives the aggro Decks the legs to dont fall to far behind in the mid Game. I was really impressed how it could take me over the finish line. The damals is also a nice cherry on top.
I think the amulet is better in the blue red decks like you mentioned but from what ive seen on other channels i think it would have gone nicely even with just the scurrys and galvanics to produce energy. I think your pick was fine i would just consider the inventor more replaceable sometimes the amulet just lets you flip multiple spells or lands and it can be a huge card advantage engine for red white.
100% just followed! Love your in-depth content Paul. Was checking out the patreon. Any possibility of ever adding a deck tech reward in any of the tiers?
@haumph okay awesome. Do you ever manage to add your thoughts or is it just members. I know other creators have done that before and I really felt like it helped me. Either way I'll probably join the haumph club soon
Nice vid per usual Paul. Energy is my favorite deck, but sadly it’s getting heavily drafted now. I envy your 7th pick scurry 😜 Looking forward to a UB draw 3 draft in the coming vids. Thanks in advance!
a lot of the chrysalis decks i face in mythic are on the jankier side- card is extremely busted but maybe the hype is making people stretch their decks a little too far to fit it?
I think rosecot knight is a very real card in thus deck considering it can find triple scurry of gremlins, double ajani fells the godsire, static prison, dog umbra, and some creatures. thats a lot of very good hits imo
How are the chances that I had a loud thunder and lightning at the exact same time as you, when I watched the video 😅. Nice deck which (with decent draws) would have deserved a 7-0. Keep it up!
I wouldn't blame you if you tap out of this format. Chrysalis (and Eldrazi as a whole to a lesser extent) kind of took the wind out of the sails of MH3.
i think black is the worst color in the set so unless a card is busted (crabomination, ophiomancer, toxic deluge) , i'll usually lean into other colors.
Ouchh was hoping youd take a moment to read the saga real quick ahah. Also fyi six can only retrace permanents so they couldnt get back the bolt for the flier
How do you feel about snap picking Crysalis, even if it doesnt belong in your deck? This would take Chris out of many decks, but you could be missing out on a helpful card for your deck if you go this route.
correct but what I mean is when you point the discharge at the chrysallis and if you have the energy to kill it, you can spend 3 energy on resolution if they don't sacrifice. Your opponents don't get a window to sacrifice spawns to keep it alive. If they sacrifice in response to the discharge then you simply spend more energy as needed to kill it.
It seems insane to me to pass Gatekeeper p2p6 at 10:00 given that this deck really wants to go wide rather than tall and is short on 3-drops...am I missing something?
dont think i agree with taking 4th discharge over 1st gatekeeper when u both needed creatures and have 3 copies of scurry and 2 copies or inventor going into ur main deck. i love discharge as much as anyone but u said u wnated threats and ur already cutting removal from ur deck.
As much as I want a random 3 drop creature, I'm not taking it over swords to plowshares. I'd rather take my chances and hope some random filler 2 or 3 drop tables or makes it into my deck. my creature count wasn't embarrassingly low.
Paul going full immersion, incorporating real lightning strikes into his energy deck
The deck was so strong that a force of nature was the only way to try and stop it.
I can always count on Paul to provide such clever insight like:
"If we draw lands, then our spell/lands will be spells."
Lol.

Wotc: Realizing Paul has figured out the format rigs the shuffler.
Also Wotc: Sends mother nature after Paul for insurance lol.
getting galvanic discharged in real life MonkaS
It was very scurry
Petition to shove crysalis to mythic so that i dont have to see that every match
first supporter of your petition😂
Signed
I support your petition. Where do I sign?
Quickdraft is going to be miserable mirrors only; the bots won't take it nearly high enough.

Hey Paul! You should start a counter from now til the next format comes out for every time you or your opponent plays Chrysalis and the match just ends
And after this video that counter would be at 0. Or is that your point?
Your thunder adventure reminds me of the story my mom told me of lightning striking right outside her house. Said it was the loudest thing she's ever heard, and it made the deactivated crt tv glow from static afterward.

On the last opponent right around 1:21:36 they couldn't reiterating bolt with Six because that's only for non land permanents, I thought.
Ajani fells the Godslayer is much less underwhelming when it actually kills something 😂

I am not the biggest inventor fan but it seemed pretty decent here with all the gremlins and auxiliaries
@@haumph yeah the deck was probably too aggro to want to dawdle a little, though the inventor is also excellent with the amulet itself.

This is the best deck you drafted since the start of the road!
Deck was saweet
Congrats Paul on another trophy !! 👏
Thanks!

I think the amulet is generally better than inventor but with 3x scurry and and 3x auxiliary, i thought inventor was the definitive pick here.
Watched the 1st 15 min of this and then jumped into a draft. 3 Scurry of Gremlins in my deck. Let's go! Put the beats on an 8/9 chrysalis in Round 1.
gogogo!
@@haumph 7-1 with some serious blowouts. Deck is meta right now.
100% just followed! Love your in-depth content Paul. Was checking out the patreon. Any possibility of ever adding a deck tech reward in any of the tiers?
We do deck techs in the patreon for everybody! Just post and people all try to help
@haumph okay awesome. Do you ever manage to add your thoughts or is it just members. I know other creators have done that before and I really felt like it helped me. Either way I'll probably join the haumph club soon
Awww man! I wanted Paul to punish the player that dropped strix serenade by dealing lethal with the flyer he got. That was a heartbreaking lost!
Proof that there is no justice in this world
Wow I also thought the Ajani saga was mana value 3 or greater. I’ve cast that card like 10 times too.
I know right!
That white saga is very reminiscent of Elspeth Conquers Death, which did check cmc3+.
Yeah for sure
Nice vid per usual Paul. Energy is my favorite deck, but sadly it’s getting heavily drafted now. I envy your 7th pick scurry 😜 Looking forward to a UB draw 3 draft in the coming vids. Thanks in advance!
Yeah the secret's out. Maybe eldrazi is back on the menu!
*Gremlins theme starts* nananana nana
na na nanananana na
I've played the Amulet is WR decks, but they all had either: Aether Revolt and I was digging, or Party Thrasher. It's ok.
as mid as inventor has seemed your synergy makes it the clear pick there imo
a lot of the chrysalis decks i face in mythic are on the jankier side- card is extremely busted but maybe the hype is making people stretch their decks a little too far to fit it?
I think rosecot knight is a very real card in thus deck considering it can find triple scurry of gremlins, double ajani fells the godsire, static prison, dog umbra, and some creatures. thats a lot of very good hits imo
Even if it has hits, it's a 5 drop 3/4. I'm not interested in playing too many cards at that mana cost in an aggressively slanted deck.
How are the chances that I had a loud thunder and lightning at the exact same time as you, when I watched the video 😅. Nice deck which (with decent draws) would have deserved a 7-0. Keep it up!
Thanks! And yeah that's pretty wild haha.
How do you miss a card like chrysalis in playtesting? Its a common. It does everything.
that bolt did more than 3 dmg for sure
sure did!
I wouldn't blame you if you tap out of this format. Chrysalis (and Eldrazi as a whole to a lesser extent) kind of took the wind out of the sails of MH3.
It's definitely rough for sure.
Didn't even consider Chtonian Nightmare p1p2...a bit surprising, it's a great buildaround..doesn't go with stump stomp tbf
i think black is the worst color in the set so unless a card is busted (crabomination, ophiomancer, toxic deluge) , i'll usually lean into other colors.
1:16:00 I feel that.
6th pick Galvanic Discharge!!!
I know right!
The other drafters at this table lost their minds. Letting scurry table pack 1 and ajani table pack 2 in possibly the two best colors in the format.
Yeah it was pretty unreal
Draw 3 deck can do alright as well.. it really hinges on some key cards tho
you need a lot of snackers and deem inferior in my experience
Paul, that's a great haircut. I'm jealous of your hairline my man.
Thank you! I wasn't completely happy with it as it was a little uneven but now I'm feeling better about it.
Ouchh was hoping youd take a moment to read the saga real quick ahah. Also fyi six can only retrace permanents so they couldnt get back the bolt for the flier
Too many words!
Everyone hates "Chris". Either you play Eldrazi or you lose to Eldrazi in this draft format.
It’s so hard not to want to swing with the frog, but it’s just as big a threat on blocks as it is on attacks. Might’ve held you back decently right?
Very possible
How do you feel about snap picking Crysalis, even if it doesnt belong in your deck? This would take Chris out of many decks, but you could be missing out on a helpful card for your deck if you go this route.
Honestly it can't ever be that wrong to take chrysalis whenever you see it.
Chat am i the only one in love with the molten gatekeeper? won me a looooot of games
It's fine but nothing special and certainly not something i pick early.
With all the token makers it has more synergy
Killing the problem you started by forcing eldrazi
what does it mean galvanic discharge can kill Chrysallis? this only happens if opponent didn't sacrifice the spawns right?
correct but what I mean is when you point the discharge at the chrysallis and if you have the energy to kill it, you can spend 3 energy on resolution if they don't sacrifice. Your opponents don't get a window to sacrifice spawns to keep it alive. If they sacrifice in response to the discharge then you simply spend more energy as needed to kill it.
Amulet can be absurd. Super high upside.
Is there a world where Wizards bans Crysalis?
I feel if it's a viable splash in the red/white energy deck then it's clearly format breaking.
I don't think that'll happen but I'm sure they learned their lesson after this set
Paul
Hi
(Spoiler alert) I really thought you were going to lose that last game but you incredibly pulled it out! What an awesome draft.
It seems insane to me to pass Gatekeeper p2p6 at 10:00 given that this deck really wants to go wide rather than tall and is short on 3-drops...am I missing something?
Yes you are
@@haumph Good to know 😄
10:03 I see gatekeeper much more often in red aggro than unicorn, and it's always pinging me for like 5+ in go wide decks.
I like unicorn more.
How many drafts do you play a week?
15-20?
dont think i agree with taking 4th discharge over 1st gatekeeper when u both needed creatures and have 3 copies of scurry and 2 copies or inventor going into ur main deck. i love discharge as much as anyone but u said u wnated threats and ur already cutting removal from ur deck.

Man all these top mythic players making mistakes and I get destroyed by gold players making perfect plays 😂
You're just really unlucky I bet
Nah should have saved Ajani. That card has flipped so many games for me.
FIRST
Do not draft energy… energy is the eldrazi killer
