I was that insane jund deck toward the end of the stream. I was 6-0 at that point with 2x broodspinners, 2x wildfire wickerfolk, the waltz, foba, and the overlord of the balemurk. Just had things go my way during the draft. Nice to see the match here from your point of view and to see where your boros deck ended up. I figured it must have been pretty good considering you ended up in Boros!
49:28 wouldnt be better to cast the inside out on the percussionist copy since it will die end of turn anyway. This will push for more damage, and as there is nothing you would want to flip for 1 red mana in your deck either there is no point in casting it on the fear of being hunted
Thanks for all your videos, Paul! I don't have much time to play at all, but I was able to go from Bronze to Diamond in the one day that I got to play this month. Helped a lot with the evaluation of cards. Great content!
Congrats on #1! I got to play you yesterday as I was grinding for mythic and saw you made it to rank one, I was stoked for you and happy to pad your lead.
good shit paul. at 49:29 you missed 3 damage. other than that, I'm super impressed by some of these lines you're seeing that most people wouldn't know exists. I'm sure this is the best Jolly Balloon man draft deck to ever be drafted
1:00:35 Main phase 1 crew unidentified hovership with 1/1 glimmer token tap w to activate the jolly balloon man on unidentified hovership, enter trigger targets grasping long neck exile prevents life gain, tap w to equip glimmer light on flyer of choice declare attackers attack with 2/2 hovership and 2/2 equipped hovership token, attack triggers most valuable slayer giving one of the 2/2 flyers +1/0. no legal blockers can be declared take 5 points of combat damage. Lethal on board.(and one less mana teehee)
Against the rooms deck. Crew the hovership, copy with jolly balloon man and eat the piggy bank. Move both glimmer lights to a your 1/1s is lethal. 9 damage
Nice man! Just went 7-1 with a busted boros deck last night. Arabella with ragged playmate was nuts. Also, don’t sleep on the 2/4 jack in the box with ragged playmate. You can make it unblockable and swing for 6 free damage + under the skin etc. really good combos for boros
Was wondering on first game why not copying the Hovership to get rid of the flyers when Paul put his hand on his head with a "Oh my god !" Haha was kinda fun.
Here I was thinking you weren't allowed to play more than four cards with the same name. And there you are putting five percussionists in your deck. So you can do this when you draft? Edit:@ 1:27:04 you mention you will have to review the little mistakes you made in the draft. I am getting into drafting myself and with a commander mindset like I have, it is quite a different story at times. Would you be willing to take us through one of your reviews and teach us mere mortals your rank one drafting and playing ways? I think that would be a great learning experience for us.
V impressed Paul. I dont think there is a better example of humility and skill in any sort of game or sport I follow. Except Messi. Paul. You are like Messi
At 49:27 why not put the Turn Inside Out on the flying percussionist? Wouldn’t that get 3 more damage in and get your manifest dread because the token is going to be sacrificed anyway?
34:42 Is there a reason you didn’t play monkey to crew the hovership and then give the manifest first strike? I’m genuinely not sure which is the better play!
Hey, congrats in beating Numot and LSV in the race to #1. It feels like Kobe winning the 4th ring to 1-up Shaq 🤣 But wait, you back-to-back trophies w/ W/x decks? I feel betrayed. I thought we’re supposed to pass white cards to the left, lol j/k. Great deck! Hope I can draft W/x decks like what you had in the past 2 vids.
Hey Paul, I'm trying to figure out what the best ordering is for those triggers when you have a Clockwork Percussionist die after being turned inside out. I think it might make sense to first exile the top card of the library and then manifest dread. That way you have the most information available before making the decision. (Exiling the top card of your library doesn't involve making a decision, but choosing which card to manifest and which to put in the graveyard does involve a decision). What do you (or other commenters) think?
might have been able to lure the Gremlin Tamer in at 40:34 by sending your doll & percussionist in and leaving a 1/1 and 0/2 on defense albeit it's hard to bluff if you're sitting at #1 ranked
Hey Paul I know this season has been unusually rough for you in boros. Why do you think has been? Has it been it from just unlucky draws/mana flooding, or does it stem from the card selection dureing the draft?
Almost punted away game 1, but it's nice to see that everyone makes mistakes. You could have just moved one of your glimmerlights to one of the unblocked creatures (since you had two creatures that had to be blocked) in the second to last attack in game 1 for the win as well.
I watched the last video as well and I'm very confused as to when you achieved rank #1. As a follower of the road to rank 1 videos I've been waiting a while on that moment. Did I just miss it?!
I think you had a line to win in game one with that big attack if you move the glimmer around and onto play the splitskin doll. That i believe would have given you the 9 damage going through. My math might be off though
Maybe he emoted good game, because MTG arena is such a great game with no bugs, amazing balanced cards, cheap entree, and a company that loves its customers. maybe,maybe, maybe.
If I was playing game 1, I never would have top decked the inside out and lost. Also, MVS would have given the percussionist +1 + 0 and first strike, so yeah you could have played it, attacked with it and it wouldn't have died to the 2/2
Ok paul. Ive found a case for you to maindeck a leyline. Lets say youre rakdos, and you have 3 disturbung mirths, now your leylines are turn 0 sacrifice fodder for mirth (and final vengeance and bargains)
Congrats for that number 1, Paul! Amazing job
ty!
That preemptive good game was hilarious. I guess even people in mythic forget about vehicles 😂

Also, congrats on rank #1. I really have been enjoying the content

MVP: Most Valuable Percussionist
🐵 🥁
Finally, the boros draft does it! Yessir! Really fun matches, never seen jolly balloon man pull so much value, GGs!
you've always been rank 1 in our hearts.
The GG from opponent at 36:38 was freakin' hilarious. 😂
I love this Boros Marching Band you put together.😂
I honestly love that Paul’s best Boros deck is actually a classic Cheon value pile.
Was he always so good? That's amazing
Well done! 👏🏼
Thank you!! 😁
Congratulations Paul! You deserve it.
Thank you so much 😀
Thanks for all your videos, Paul! I don't have much time to play at all, but I was able to go from Bronze to Diamond in the one day that I got to play this month. Helped a lot with the evaluation of cards. Great content!
Nice work!
Congrats on #1! I got to play you yesterday as I was grinding for mythic and saw you made it to rank one, I was stoked for you and happy to pad your lead.
Ton of fun to watch! 'Relatively clean' 😂
Yo, gratz, Paul! Let's gooo!!!
gogo!
good shit paul. at 49:29 you missed 3 damage. other than that, I'm super impressed by some of these lines you're seeing that most people wouldn't know exists. I'm sure this is the best Jolly Balloon man draft deck to ever be drafted
Thanks for another great draft and grats on the #1 Mythic spot! Paul Cheon, aggro specialist (although this was more a value deck in a lot of games)
Best Magic content there is. Can't wait to watch Worlds with commentary by Paul. Congrats to rank 1!
I’m loving the content! Keep that excitement going! I’m watching you draft more than I play 🤣
Yay! #1, Mr. Cheon - congratulations, well deserved!
Yay! Thank you!

Literally there's no one better. Congrats!
Rank 1 let's go!!!! Great run Paul!!
TY!
Against the rooms deck. Crew the hovership, copy with jolly balloon man and eat the piggy bank. Move both glimmer lights to a your 1/1s is lethal. 9 damage
Congrats!!!! #1!!! It's good to be the King!
Dear Paul, i recenlty started watching your videos and you are amazing! Thank you for all the explanation, it helps a lot!
Glad you like them!
Congrats on #1 Paul! 🥳
You did it! It's been great watching you fight your way through the ladder with great commentary
Glad you enjoyed!
Nice Job Paul #1!
Thanks!
Thaffwassup!! Congrats Paul, hard work pays off!
Bro, you are killing it!
out of the box is so OP with the boros card from the thumbnail (balloon guy), figured the combo in an irl draft and ruined everyone's day
Nice Paul! Gratz on the #1
Thanks!
Congrats as no 1!🎉 youve really cracked this set!
Thanks so much!
it's funny because I heard you saying some time ago "I don't like white" and now you are doing great on this color! Congrats Paul for #1
I still try to draft what’s open!
Love your stuff, wonderful achievement getting to 1 this late in the season.
Thanks a ton!
When I watch your videos I try to think what your next move will be. I undertand now why i am not a mythic player.
Nice man! Just went 7-1 with a busted boros deck last night. Arabella with ragged playmate was nuts. Also, don’t sleep on the 2/4 jack in the box with ragged playmate. You can make it unblockable and swing for 6 free damage + under the skin etc. really good combos for boros
Oh man that good game exchange with op#2 was soooo satisfying. There's a reason they're over 1000 ranks above you!
Was wondering on first game why not copying the Hovership to get rid of the flyers when Paul put his hand on his head with a "Oh my god !"
Haha was kinda fun.

What a delight to see you top 1 playing Boros 🎉👌🏽
V impressed Paul. I dont think there is a better example of humility and skill in any sort of game or sport I follow.
Except Messi.
Paul. You are like Messi
It indeed got quite messy at times
At 49:27 why not put the Turn Inside Out on the flying percussionist? Wouldn’t that get 3 more damage in and get your manifest dread because the token is going to be sacrificed anyway?
Congrats!!!
Thanks!
@1:05:20 Since, if they had removal, they already have a very good target (Balloon man), shouldn't u attack with hovership too ?
Jeez, the topdeck removal spell
He said in the beginning he was low on ballon man, and i watch ballon man be insane :D
Put them hands upppppppp 🎉🎉🎉
Do you wish you had taken the second Exorcism instead of one of the MVSs?
Few things tilt me more than the pre-emptive good game. Wish they would link that emote do the resign button lol
Congrats man.
Thanks!
@1:10:00 : This whole game, timing tells have oppo 100% knowing u have turn inside out :o
Who cares
34:42 Is there a reason you didn’t play monkey to crew the hovership and then give the manifest first strike? I’m genuinely not sure which is the better play!
Congrats Paul.
Incredibly anticlimactic watching all videos rooting for the #1 spot only for you to peak off screen. ;)
Your choice to pass VO pack 2 pick 1 makes perfect sense to me. I'm curious if LSV has watched this and would concur?
It's a great name!!!
Congrats on #1! You stomped with a golgari deck while you were number 1 a few days so I got a sneak preview lmao
Hey, congrats in beating Numot and LSV in the race to #1. It feels like Kobe winning the 4th ring to 1-up Shaq 🤣 But wait, you back-to-back trophies w/ W/x decks? I feel betrayed.

Yeah that might be slightly better. Irrelevant probably 95 percent of the time.
Does winning games while at rank 1 gives you some sort of padding against demotion?
Congrats! 🥳But.. Dammit, Paul. We want to actually see you hit rank 1.😥 Twice in this season so far. You gots to record them shiz.
Sadly I hit it because the rank 1 player lost a bunch of
@@haumph Ah. Gotcha. Well, congrats again. You've been my favorite streamer since picking it up again months ago.
41:33 you were so sure you were going to draw plains for Glimmer Seeker that you played doll with 2 white mana? :D
might have been able to lure the Gremlin Tamer in at 40:34 by sending your doll & percussionist in and leaving a 1/1 and 0/2 on defense
albeit it's hard to bluff if you're sitting at #1 ranked
Posting after the draft, but before the gameplay. Having said that, would you consider running 16 lands in this deck?
grats paul wp
Please tell me the world championship is being played on arena and we don't have to squint through a webcam at manually tapping unreadable cards!
24:34 can you copy hovership with balloon man if so I’m pretty sure you have lethal here
Just finished video but yeah that a good puzzle there you have to crew with splitskin copy then crew with original hovership then equip
Hey Paul I know this season has been unusually rough for you in boros. Why do you think has been? Has it been it from just unlucky draws/mana flooding, or does it stem from the card selection dureing the draft?
probably combination of running poorly and playing poorly. i think i draft fairly well overall
@haumph 100% agree! The other boros decks I've seen you post have all looked just as good as this one.
Almost punted away game 1, but it's nice to see that everyone makes mistakes. You could have just moved one of your glimmerlights to one of the unblocked creatures (since you had two creatures that had to be blocked) in the second to last attack in game 1 for the win as well.
Let's hop into this bath!!! 😂😂😂
Why pump the blocked guy when you could have inside outed the baloon token? :) missed 3 dmg
Congrats for that number 1
Ty!
I watched the last video as well and I'm very confused as to when you achieved rank #1. As a follower of the road to rank 1 videos I've been waiting a while on that moment. Did I just miss it?!
I was rank 2 and the guy who was rank 1 kept losing a bunch.
@@haumph cool bro. Congrats you earned it!!
I think you had a line to win in game one with that big attack if you move the glimmer around and onto play the splitskin doll. That i believe would have given you the 9 damage going through. My math might be off though
Would have been on the turn right before you realized the interaction of Ballonman and ship.
Good job getting the W regardless!
Ye I was screaming at the screen lol
He even counted out loud he had 8 damage
Congrats on R1!
Is it never worth cutting land in aggressive low curve decks?
Congrats on numba 1! Deck turned out great, but man you were in a good seat to draft BW 😭😭
I'll throw in on the cymbals man
5 Clockwork Percussionists?
I dub this draft DRUMLINE
Didn't he have lethal game 1 if he swung with all and moved the glimmerlights?
Should have 'oops'-ed the premature GG opponent
Wait what?? I've been following the channel for weeks hoping to see you make rank 1 and it happened off screen 😢.
Awesome draft though!
Maybe he emoted good game, because MTG arena is such a great game with no bugs, amazing balanced cards, cheap entree, and a company that loves its customers.
maybe,maybe, maybe.
I've had Jolly Balloon Man copying Overlord of the Mistmoors for 4 turns and I still got outraced by Dollmaker's Shop. I'm just cursed with RW.
Gonna try any Kaldheim or probably not since it can affect your rank and you’re probably out of practice with that set?
Nothing more satisfying than getting the early good game and sticking it in their face. You should have spammed oops hahahahahaha
This draft brought to you by Marshall Sutcliffe
series over
grats
the good game people are so obnoxious
Why 17 lands?
man im screaming at the screen COPY THE HOVERSHIP haha
If I was playing game 1, I never would have top decked the inside out and lost. Also, MVS would have given the percussionist +1 + 0 and first strike, so yeah you could have played it, attacked with it and it wouldn't have died to the 2/2
Ok
90 Minute Boros Deck 💀
Ok paul. Ive found a case for you to maindeck a leyline. Lets say youre rakdos, and you have 3 disturbung mirths, now your leylines are turn 0 sacrifice fodder for mirth (and final vengeance and bargains)
Why 17 lands? with average 2,3 and 5 Percussionist i would think about 16
I like 17
Someone check on LSV.
