Hey Wizards, make sure you do another one of these in the future. Much more interesting than usual drafts

[@PerhapsOOTMM]

I might be in the minority here, but I miss Zac Hill. Always liked his upbeat commentary.

[@hansvader3791]

Zac Hill is the Voice of Magic for me

[@Frostgiantbutsmall]

This is cool to watch as someone that joined magic around 2016-17. I built my first cube this year, and the difference in card choice/power is staggering! Loved to see it.

[@jeromeofmarmite8914]

Imagine someone who built one this year, jesus

[@FGCmtg]

Watching this back 11 years later, Zac really knew his stuff and I'm shocked at how Reid chose his cards!

[@FGCmtg]

This has gotta be my favourite tournament of all time.

[@dng3mjh]

Please do more pro cube drafts Wizards

[@ideashop4981]

Man this shit brings back memories, really helped me build my cube

[@thisislesbomaya]

they should do this again but with better production value

[@Turn2Ugin]

agreed

[@codebroker_]

Finkle is thinking, "I remember playing Tinker"

[@NinjaScion]

Please show more drafts when you can. Sooooo interesting.

[@snoddythefreak]

I actually really wish I could get another one of these

[@tomasvil]

Cube meta has changed a lot since then

[@joe.5103]

So much! Archetypes aren’t entirely different but the cards are much better. It’s a crazy difference.

[@Skeeerttttt]

Now, this is Magic

[@harddrive9941]

Why did Reid not take any fixing early on :(

[@spazywakjob546]

:O Young marshall sutcliffe not in his suit is so cute

[@PastorKCLiu]

This looks so fun

[@DeusO73]

thanks guys. Great job Rich and Rashad!!!

[@fireblade771000]

surprisingly, drafts help me learn a lot of the game

[@hydra66]

Why just show Reid drafting without later showing his deck in action? Did he get thrashed or something?

[@joelmonteiro1419]

Finkel was trying to build his Worlds' deck.

[@bhativimokhanaananda7759]

That sutcliffe glow up

[@MinecraftMelder]

Why are these videos always so quiet, please start turning up the volume.

[@DaftMANIA]

Yeah would love to see them play it out as well =/

[@Kiviuq1000]

I wish I could draft that cube. So awesome.

[@kaigan2400]

This is a difficult format to follow as a beginner, especially for a cube draft. You did not give a side-reel highlight to all of the cards, esp. at start. I would also love to have these drafts in playlists with vids of them actually playing. Poor organization.

[@metalheader1]

The commentary volume on some of these videos is so low.

[@deviltrigger85]

Cube drafting is awesome. Just wish the camera was only on the packs and never focused on faces or from the other side of the room.

[@Baobei666]

Guys... push the sound up seriously.

[@RussellitoMayne]

@wizardsmtg I really enjoy your videos guys, but a good amount of your videos have really low volume i have to set the volume all the way up just to hear the video. Great job on the production guys.

[@BringtheGold1]

How can you cut away from Reid's cards? I absolutely love that you are showing a draft, but why cut away at least two or three times from us seeing his pick and possible picks? I don't need to see the back of Luis Scott Vargas head.

[@garpyt21]

idk if you can help it but plz make the volume louder here on out or add subs. Keep posting drafts they are awsome.

[@RobertoftheNerds]

"Do you know who'll be drafting?" "I'm not sure, I was busy running from one place to the other" Was the Wizards R&D department in charge of this event?

[@leomeror]

its weird but for a moment i thought this was uploaded a day after today (it's 29th of august 2013 today)

[@SuperRandombox]

marshall looks exhausted

[@samsweirdworld]

Where is the card list for this cube?

[@alexmarti8626]

idk if you guys realized the pun but he says " stay out of blue, despise " and look at the card to the right

[@Guitello13]

@Caabooose It was a Liliana Vess not a Liliana OTDR.... Why don't you listen to what they say before criticizing them for not saying something???

[@TheTlMEWARP]

awesome. thanks for bringing up the cards eventually :)

[@MrPauliewag]

great video, but you guys really need to work on your volume control. Most of the videos i have seen are soo quiet.

[@spazywakjob546]

:O Young marshall sutcliffe not in his suit is so cute

[@bld86]

way to go pall making our self look smart and all first time looking at it am i supposed to get it from the first glance?

[@alpharage1090]

anyone knows what kind of sleeves are being used?

[@allisonwatson3837]

i have to agree with you. they never have good sound quality. everything else is great though.

[@joe.5103]

Wish they ran this back now that Magic Online is more popular (bc of Covid19) but they’re too lame to do anything that isn’t Arena. Also, Reid should have first picked the Underground Sea

[@cp49100]

I apolagise but i confused draft with sealed pack, they only get the cards they picked

[@phreakyeggz]

Stuff like this, Magic is actually going big like poker. Thousands of dollars on the table there.

[@Panquernic]

search for "2012 Players Championship: Round 1"

[@Tinhow]

I have all volume controls maxed out, I am wearing an earplug and I can't hear one damn word.

[@cp49100]

I later corrected this coment saying i had mistaken Draft with sealed pack. They only get the cards they pick

Awesome!

[@vanory1997]

Have you already uploaded the matches for this draft or you are going too?

[@BoomtaxRISEtrons]

You never keep the cards in Cube. They always go back into the cardpool so that your playgroup can keep having Cube drafts. lol

[@squaresoft01]

Is there a rule that when you become a pro you have to constantly fiddle with your cards like a Wang?

[@xXUltaMattXx]

God this audio is terribly quiet...

[@nevercutmacros2157]

How many cards are in this cube? Sorry if they said it in the video, if so I missed it. Thanks

[@Husketeer0]

They gotta have a talk with there camera guy....

[@anarogers1254]

Lol marshall looks a bit rough

[@andrewfornes136]

Dylan Kirkpatrick Marshall looks like creepy Rudy lmao.

[@ZoidsNut]

@25:30, they say he snags the parallax wave, but it looks to me like he took forbid.

[@WinstonKillDeath]

I was just wondering if they fixed it. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

[@lolsmurf]

this goes 2 fast for me, do you have any videos that go slower? I'm just learning :D

[@MiauZi69]

Thx for showing - but PLEASE show the DRAFT and not some random faces....

[@aznelf13]

yea, i think it's 40k for first per pro events

[@TheSacknasty]

drafts way more interested than constructed

[@bld86]

this game looks wierd how is it played??!

[@kh2752]

the sound is always really soft

[@vanory1997]

This is a phantom event, just like online? or do the players keep the cards after?

[@cp49100]

Yeah they get all the cards they pull

[@kaczor451]

Will the matches of this draft be uploaded on youtube?

[@Lumautis]

he didn't take parallax wave he took forbid

[@zsdCKanVOIJANSO]

Difference between regular draft and cube draft?

[@birdbath22]

he looks suprised in every pack

[@andrefrferreira]

you, at mtg, should have a better sound

[@flavioal28]

Do they get to keep the cards?

[@TheNinja4]

wheres the follow up videos?

[@HamerD]

WHY ALWAYS SUCH FUCKING LOW VOLUME

[@bleachking3944]

do they get to keep those cards?

[@bleachking3944]

damn that awesome

[@agedskate3000]

you can on cockatrice and tappedout

[@DannyJPCW]

He went 1 and 15 overall.

[@couchpotatoe91]

Are you sure? I don't think so. I mean balance is propably worth as much as the prize pool xD

[@TheRobsalot]

VOLUME!!! PLEASE!

[@Strype13]

Hence why you weren't at that event.

[@Caabooose]

24 minutes in they forget to add in that Lillian of the dark realms can grab his scrubland, or any swamp to help lol /sigh

[@EpicSuchti]

What sleeves are they using? Are these standard ultra pro?

[@johnm.higgins4522]

Yeah those are amazing cards for such terrible sleeves

[@marty7905]

Why the fuck does Marshall look like Rudy in the first few seconds.

[@kellenlivingston3267]

should have picked Elesh Norn

[@Gorgoj]

Maybe if you are just learning you should watch a more beginner friendly format, cube is a little complex. try standard matches.

[@Willieskyeyes]

You don't get to keep stuff from cube... so that would be pointless

[@douzer3668]

I was kidding is easy to learn but you have to play to understand

[@ximbabwe0228]

they're so stoned

[@biglittlesplinter]

Super fail at 6:20.

[@douzer3668]

Is just for smart people

[@CxwarrenxD]

balance is a 1.50$

[@DaftMANIA]

unwatchable with this sound. :/

[@Strype13]

Thrashed is an understatement. Thankfully he made up for it by "thrashing" the entire next year, right?

[@shawn6669]

Between the multiple times they focused on Reid's face rather than the packs while he was drafting and Zac and Marshall being the most horrible coverage team ever, this is pretty much unwatchable.

[@thedanchannel7428]

Do you get to keep the cards?

[@TheAlmdal]

+TheDan Channel unfortunately not..

[@addisonkindel8245]

+TheDan Channel Probably not.

[@S1KN3SSxZ]

He was so greidy

[@7mean7bunny7]

Do they get to keep those cards?

[@Spinax33]

Nope

[@taliesinone]

7mean7bunny7 if they did the entry fee would be ridiculous but no they don't keep it

[@sunXgod]

29:30 i bet they have exalted.

[@DadBoo6]

Sound sucks
