Twitching Dolls second Ability also refers to counters in general rather then specifying the counters. "Sacrifice Twitching Doll: Create a 2/2 green Spider creature token with reach for each counter on Twitching Doll. Activate only as a sorcery."
did a draft earlier, and was able to drop a t2 nashi, mill enough cards for a t4 occulus, and then turn 5 mirror room/fractured realm to copy it. safe to say that was a disgusting combo
So glad i found you, Nummy! Wicked feel for the lane. Pretty funny hearing "nothing special" with two mythics in the deck! Granted they don't synergize, but still 😅
Yeah Kenji seems to really dislike that kind of removal. He didn't like Dire Downdraft in BLB either even though it was the best blue common going by 17lands data (not counting Pond Prophet). Vanish currently has the 2nd best GiH winrate on 17lands out of the blue commons, behind only Glimmerburst. Unable to Scream is a very close third.
I think it's because although Vanish is "removal", it's removal of a kind that's value negative if you use it on a creature that is in the upper half of opponent creature quality. Especially if you use it on their best creature or a creature with an ETB effect, it's purely a tempo play that's setting yourself up for card disadvantage, which matters much more than tempo in draft. You end up incentivized to use Vanish on only mediocre creatures without ETBs.
Oculus is so brutal, 20 mins into this video I decided to draft and pack 1 pick 1 was oculus, I drafted a B/U manifest reanimate deck and went 6-0 into 7-2!
I got to Plat 1 this season but my retiring until the next set because its too expensive to keep buying gems. I'll have live vicariously through you :)
Its weird. I have had the Eye twice now but in both of those drafts I had 2 of them😅. This resulted in a lot of games where manifested 1 Eye with the other. I also decked myself 3 times because the Opponent managed to stall long anough.
Final opponent was actually a paid actor. Landcycling the Megalodon when they had enough mana to hard cast it? And there was nothing pressing about the board state that required them to dig for something.
I tried to play a premier draft today. Finished picking the cards and the game was lagging as hell. It literally crashed, I restarted, I played bo3 ranked all good. Just when I wanted to resume the draft, same, crashed. Did anyone confronted the same problem?
At 51:09, really surprised you didn't pick the Analyst given you're already manifesting every turn. Isn't a free card draw with effectively a free Scry 2 every turn better than the flicker, especially since you recognized you were too low on remaining cards to flicker more manifest?
I really appreciate you discussing the cards as they come up in the drafting, brilliant insight as a new player to the format !

Tbh I feel like the glimmering Fleshlight is underrated. It has come in very handy in several of my drafts
I'm sure it's been **extremely** handy...
Lol
Haha. Not even sure if that was deliberate
Autocorrect is telling lmao
What a weird last game :P Haha, the opponent slowly realizing they are decking themselves. Nice deck and fun draft ^^

I mean that's really cool and has to do with oculus so I'm glad I read it
no need to poop in other people's soup
now my comment looks weird since I was responding to someone else and it was deleted, but the point holds.
don't poop in the soup
@@NumotTheNummyYT Lolz haha

10:00 No respect for Vanish From Sight. That card is a C+ blue common.

I had no idea Vessel worked with any counters. That’s huge information, thank you.

Shiiiit nice!

The Vessel counts any counters, so if it has 2 +1/+1 counters and a stun counter on it, it will make a 3/3.
Oculus is such a beating, just finished a trophy run with a sick dancers enchantment deck and my single loss was to oculus
52:28 Couldn't you just flicker the eye so it comes back at the end of your turn as a better blocker than Niko ?

The best part is he is this good
in spite of his draws
I don't like the theme of this set, but I think its a lot of fun in limited .
A lot of the cards just mention "counters" in duskmourne, slasher is another good example you can muck up the necro.
32:05 Ghostly dancers shows up in every one of my drafts, I always lose to it and I never see it. It is on its own making me hate this set.

Eye see, eye click
How many of these vids this season has Kenji gotten mana flooded? Seems like every video begins 0-1 with a massive flood lately.
"Didn't do too well on stream, we are ranked 5 right now" ... Seems like you still did pretty well.

Black white seemed the channel here early to me.
Eye can't believe it!
