After firing endless bullets at trying to make it into Day 2 of the Arena Open, this is my final attempt at trying to win $2000. This is also probably the strongest deck that I’ve opened so far featuring multiple rares and a fantastic curve so if this deck can’t make it into Day 2, nothing will!

Nice games, last game you should play more agressive with 2 fakes in hand just attack with all opponent need block or die and you kill all stuff
Very rough games, I definitely felt for you at the end. As others have mentioned, I thought for sure you were going to do the Rat + Fake combo to get both cards out of OP's hand. I hope you managed to get in, but if not, there will always be more of these events in the future.
you missed lethal on that last game!!! over 7 damage on board + double fake your own death, through 2 blockers
I was the Boros Player, If it makes you feel any better my friends also think I had no business winning that game lol. I watch all your content and love that I made it into a video!
So many frustrating games where it seemed like the win was locked. Good stuff tho. Fun to watch.
GGs, hope you were able to make it to day 2!
Brutal to see you lose. Shocked to see you do not run Arena Tutor or similar so that you can see what cards you have left in your deck
Great vid! For the last game, The grab the rat then sack to the 2/2, with fake your own death that's a double discard!!
Sorry man. Wasn’t your night! You played very well.
Shooooo. Felt that. Way to keep it pushing after the L
So, did you make day 2 offline?? Some SUPER unlucky games bro. Sorry 💔
Is it easy to explain why he went after the Leyline Axe at 15:00 *with the Commando, instead of having it force a block from the Sage? It seems like he considered some options, and I'm not sure what is right in that spot.
I had a question.. for long gaming sessions what are your meals normally throughout the day?
22:03 you have a pretty aggressive/curvy deck so I'd say one is good but two is never horrible unless you are mega aggro, your deck is on the edge but not hyper aggro… also important to factor what kind of opening hands you are willing to keep like I would have not kept the 3 swamps on the play with only 1 playable 2-2. So I see now you switched to 2 and certainly the correct call looking at all this. Just reached the end now, tough tough tough… 🙏🙌❤
come on Paul! I wanna watch day 2…best of luck
I hope viewers watching appreciate what losing a “Win and In” means cause for you to maintain your composure and take all that in stride is commendable. You’re a player others look up to and a true Magic Pro. #HAUMPH4HOF
Chandraisbae lived up to their name.
Ggs Paul! In that last game for burglar rat vs nighthawk, the burglar rat with fake your own death and gourmand can actually eat your opponents last 2 cards. They just tutored for a card, so it was definitely going to be bigger value than the nighthawk at that point. Hard to go through all the lines after that many games though. Maybe attacking more with the healer earlier could've also helped since you had the 2 fake death. (once you played the revealed one, may have tricked opponent into thinking the way was clear)
The opponent having angel into make your move the previous game was pretty nuts as well!
In the last game Burglar Rat, Fake your own death, attack with Gourmand, Sac Burglar Rat would have get rid of the card they got with the demon?
I think stabbing the llanowar elf in response to overrun would have prevented 4 damage and given you an attempt at the crack back instead of taking lethal. Would have reduced 4 damage instead of 2, I might be missing something though.
Last game – you take rats, play rats, OP to one card, then fake death on rat, sac with gourmand, op without cards. So many bombs in the format, not unlikely that they win after untapping with their Demon card. Good run though and nice vid.
