Getting a ban warning for scooping too fast to Sparky is the most Arena thing I've ever seen

What a journey! I was sitting on the world record throne for a long time now, but to see someone actually made the weeklong effort to try and beat the record with a faster strategy fills me with joy. Thank you for the shoutout and congratulations for the stunning achievement!

And I'll see if I can take the crown back.

God that unsummon was SOUL CRUSHING lmao

*Update Post*

It didn't take a week to change the whole speedrun meta. The leaderboard is currently dominating by three runs with three different methods.

1. Channel / Lightning Serpent – 26 sec. (Claris)
2. Channel / Chromatic Orrery /Crackle with Power – 26 sec. (Calori78)
3. Channel / Charbelcher – 27 sec. (BuGfi5h)

Only one of these can be the true optimum way of doing it 🤔

You can speed up the draw animation by holding another card from your hand while drawing. Thank you so much for the people pointing this out, this is super helpful even for regular play. 🙏

Other methods from comments:
- Channel / Goblin Charbelcher / All MDFC
- Turn 1 MDFC Belcher with 3xDark Ritual (good luck with this one)
- Mana Dork / Channel / Lightning Serpent
- Channel / Chromatic Orrery / Crackle with Power

Shoutout to Dr. Wurstpeter for posting his highly optimized run and making this into a real challenge. Some of my long-time viewers may know that this video idea has been on my mind for quite some time.

The storytelling here is truly next level, given the sheer amount of footage you must have. Congrats on the world record!

[Zosh_]

The music from Home added at 18:50 like SummoningSalt's video litteraly gave me chill like this was the most important speedrun world record ever.

[maximuscesar]

The summoning salt chime broke me to pieces 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[dihimono]

Slight improvement: you could see the former record is holding the land card while waiting for their turn, this would speed up the draw animation actually :).
Also that is super useful when playing Arena normally.

[Atmapalazzo]

There are things I expect from this channel:
Seth not being able to pronounce words
Krim not being able to read cards
Phil not being able to keep arena from crashing to shenanigans.

The breakdown of the insanity grind that is speedrun routing and using brute force to get acceptable RNG is not one of them. This was beautiful to watch.

[Kydrou]

6:15 Sparky has feelings CONFIRMED

Also, when you showed the Speedrun page, i almost feared the top spot would be Matt Turk

[adammoldover]

That actually was a lot of fun to watch! 30 seconds is impressive!

[reefalefunk]

The summoning salt music at the end was the cherry on top. Great video!

[Lomgoose]

I've been watching MTGGoldfish for years. This may be the most gripping and best video yet. Certainly the finest from Brewer's Kitchen! Bravo!

[adoenlunnae]

That same day someone got a 26s
Damn, the speedrunning community is something XD


Turn 1 Forest into Elvish Mistic
(perfect sparky RNG, only plays a forest)
Turn 2 Channel > Mountain into Lightning Serpent with X=19(only 18 is needed, but its faster clicking +5 x4 then -1 so you dont die) > Attack for lethal

[mightyone]

People rope/grief endlessly on Arena: WotC is clueless about what they could ever do to stop such abuses.

Phil abuses the shit out of Sparky: WotC takes immediate action to address a very real problem affecting very real AI.

[omegafolf]

The nod to Summoning Salt at the end... * chef's kiss *

[gaembyjj]

With Brothers War, Charbelcher looks like the next strat to try! Channel into belcher into belcher activation is just 3 actions, doable on turn 2 and skips the need for attack animations.

[jackchaplin]

Incredible Job again Phil, I've been waiting and waiting for the next video. I can totally see why. Genuinely addicted to your content. Keep it up, the dedication show and I can't stop.

[syrtallerin]

1:22 haha lachflash wie man das einfach eins zu eins übersetzten kann

[spliffi]

Hilarious approach at MTG. That Unsummon of Sparky made me laugh out so hard though, sorry. Has something wholesome about it, that even lil' Sparky can ruin the most evil wizard's perfect hand with a good ol' alpha common.
