"How many cards did you draft just so you didn't have to make judge calls on them?" Understated best line of the year.

[@everett9199]

"Choose a creature to sacrifice." "I dOn'T _WANNA"_ I have never related so hard to a quote in my life.

[@DarthKorren]

"How many two colours do you have?" I had to pause I started laughing so hard

[@steeldom1619]

Drafting Sets: I don't know what to take, all the cards are bad... Drafting Cube: I don't know what to take, all the cards are awesome... The eternal struggle :D

[@berndb3141]

"Two of the loudest people. And Serge." I'm dying...

[@CanadianBigmoose]

Adam's grunts and gasps as table friend are amazing.

[@jackturner6087]

More cube drafts with this one please! It looks super sweet and the value makes me feel warm and fuzzy. Thanks for all the great content.

[@simplecliche5833]

I don't know why, but I love Cameron. Idk if it's his calm collected plays or his affinity for control.

[@drakoz254]

It's his damn cute lil face when he plays

[@williampeterson1154]

I actually got kinda mad watching him play, he could've shocked ophiomancer in response to ballista targeting lavamancer, at 2:57

[@tyoyo2130]

Also a big fan of Cam

[@Drecon84]

Drafting blue next to Cam? I also like to live dangerously.

[@doctorandywho3273]

Bloody brilliant

[@amdnable]

Wow, Serge is so good at explaining his deck building. Very interesting *and* fun

[@steelWindAlchemist]

Need more Alex. His reactions to plays are hilarious.

[@emilysmith3594]

TO THE SHADOW REALM

[@afgeaj1]

Man, game 3 of Cam and Adams' match was so fun to watch! Seriously, incredibly entertaining, interactive magic. So cool! ggs guys \m/

[@Argusthecat]

Running into this in my recommendations after who knows how long. Seeing everyone having so much fun together is a real blast. I especially love Adam here. You guys are great.

[@jkoon78076]

Serge seems like such a sweetheart.

[@emilysmith3594]

That awkward moment when you can’t throw shade because you sound too sincere...

[@everett9199]

@@emilysmith3594 Why? Did Serge get cancelled or something? I also really like him, but I don't follow these guys religiously enough to know what they're like outside of streams.

[@MrTacticalApproach]

The first game of Adam and Cameron was amazing. That's why I love cube haha

[@CironSkylark]

tappedout.net/mtg-cube-drafts/alexs-highlander-cube-ttc-ep173/ Here's the cube if anyone is interested!

[@jek__]

2:36:37 I love how you can see on Serge's face, his mind gets a moment of downtime and he goes right to "how are people feeling? Not bad I hope"

[@merdehappens]

+Voxlunch I don't know how often these are read by the crew, but Alex may have forgotten that Impulse no longer has a shuffle effect, due to his preference of original printings. (Cam mentions drafting it only for the shuffle effect, which is what got removed.) gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=impulse

[@edisontrent618]

50:24 1st match 1:37:15 2nd match 2:15:40 3rd match

[@NickTBrick]

7:50 Drafting

[@Alexa-ss6sl]

31:54 Deck building

[@freya002YT]

Thanks all

[@1Myojin]

so they joked about taking somenes deck instead of the pack. well, funny(ish) story. at my LGS during SOI draft, someone mistakenly took someones deck instead of the pack in pack1, and somehow didnt catch on to the fact that the "pack" had mainly two colors and had multiple flip-cards. since it took a couple passes for someone to catch on, we had to all pitch in to buy a box so we could still draft.

[@MartinBogrenMusic]

I can't tell you how grateful I am that you're sharing this content with us! Made my day! All the best from a fellow Swedish cube player.

[@burnt_onigiri2338]

8:11 it was at this moment, graham knew, this cube is f*cked up

[@GamersRelapse]

Just a note Cameron wasn't actually dead necessarily in game 2. he could have held priority with the thing in the ice trigger on the stack and tapped top to get the bonfire of the damned which was the next card in his library. then let the trigger resolve bouncing everything to Adam's hand. then impulse resolves, if he had a counterspell left in the deck he would technically resolve the impulse and take the counter, then he would be able to counter the ballista when Adam went to play it tapping him out and leaving a 7/8 Horror behind which with bitterblossom trigger is a two turn clock and the bonfire to board wipe the blockers away.

[@cassun603]

"You know I'm a human being with feelings, right?" Has got to be one of the best comebacks i've ever heard

[@Scopesightzx]

"and the chat is full of airhorns"

[@Azalzan]

OMG I wanted to see you draft this sooo much

[@smargio]

I Heard Cam say "I already drafted 4 cards that I love" and I knew, Izzet Spells.

[@MRBouma]

Cam's first game was amazing. Tough luck Graham and Alex with all those land draws.

[@Eramiserasmus]

So how long until "I've have four score and nineteen cards but a commander cannot be counted among them." is an LLR MTG product shirt, playmat, and sleeves? Because I would buy the heck out them for all of my commander decks.

[@ethanfordford6621]

same

[@Eleros]

I don't get it.

[@Eramiserasmus]

EastGuardianSeiryuu there's a song called "99 problems". I suggest looking it up.

[@boltarion461]

totally same man that would be sweet i would pay to have them signed by cam also

[@N8Maple01]

Bump

[@rockdeworld]

1:31:30 "Do I have 2 10-drops in my deck?" Little do we know Alex is playing Burning Shoal and Progenitus to go with his Berserk combo.

[@rachelrainbowphoenix]

I love how Alex Drafted Firebolt and Graham drafted TMS it reminds me of that old MTG sketch from forever ago :)

[@HaposaiBG]

Very fun Draft. The match between Ben and Surge was great!

[@berndb3141]

Nobody seems to be in Grahams colors. All good cards come back to him. Sick! Also happy to see Alex with a new hat. Here's hope he replaces this one sooner than the last one.

[@DLO801]

Graham had such a good draft cards in this like come on! i wish my drafts picks were like his lol

[@2MeatyOwlLegs]

I had Assemble the Legion in my Ravnica Plane Cube for a while and the card is so incredibly busted in limited...

[@vipper57779]

sooooo im so used to graham and james staying naya color combos and being aggro so seeing this deck made me very happy. also my God the cards flowed fantastically for him. also a lot of people got a similar situation and its so great. alsl serge u dont want a fiend hunter that draws u cards??? nooooo! finally is this online somewhere? like cubetutor or skmething?

[@merdehappens]

The full card list is available at the url shown on the bottom of the screen.

[@hornylink]

I just watched cam go off and it was amazing

[@bipolarbear3743]

This might seem dumb but I'd realy love to see you guys play those cubes in multiplayer, if that makes any sense.

[@boltarion461]

what sleeves are the highlander cube sleeved in

[@ProIce100]

Poor Serge lol

[@WhisperingWinds0]

okay,so what is the average value of this cube? because it looks insane

[@maxevans4291]

Cam is playing my dream deck.

[@EternalDensity]

Alex is such a lucksack that Graham didn't draw his 12 x wraths :P ;)

[@michael83479]

Where can I get a hat like Alex's?

[@Finkeldinken]

+1 for Malazan reference there. :)

[@inqui5ition]

LRR uploaded highlander draft and a commander vid?! But... I was supposed to do stuff today....:(

[@ahrenstarr6273]

Graham takes Hymn cause it's busted, and I think to the days when I would play four of them.

[@iluvatardis8804]

Richard Garfield was on the design team for Innistrad, so no complaining about miracle cards.

[@Matti_Mattsen]

but miracle is a mechanic only present in Avacyn Restored, which Garfield didn't design

[@Bobal27]

3:00:59 , Cam, what are you doing? You could hit a counterspell off impulse!

[@Xylerx000]

I keep hearing Alex hum this one song in several videos, and I can't place it. Anyone know what it is?

[@Dogdogood]

It’s like the main theme from super Mario brothers 2 on the nes

[@Xylerx000]

Jackson Froehlich Okay. Thanks.

[@tomjackal5708]

alex tips hand to overhead cam 2 mountains

[@ROYBGP]

Do it Alex! Jund em!!

[@davecortie5579]

Moar Cam and Adam combo. These guys need to be LRRMTG regs. Brute force and calm strategy = winning?

[@Restokiki]

Alex, in your game 1 vs Graham, you missed lethal there. He casts Far//Away and you have 5 mana available with a Siege-Gang Commander in play. Response to him targeting Goblin Rabblemaster, sacrifice your Rabble to Siege Gang - 2 damage. Far//Away resolves, one half not really doing anything, then you sack your 0/1 that isn't doing any damage anymore because you already got your battlecry trigger. This means another 2 damage gets through from that goblin you sacked to his edict instead. Then you sack Siege-Gang to itself before damage, and he takes lethal in the damage step. :c

[@vexatiousz9909]

3:00:56 Cam would have gotten the Izzet Charm back from Tidehollow Sculler. Which means Adam couldn't have played Walking Ballista for 6. So Cam wasn't dead :|

[@eppopcorn]

Vexatious Z Izzet Charm wouldn't have saved Cam as it only counters noncreature spells

[@vexatiousz9909]

mmm I'm blind oh well he still should have let the impulse resolve I don't know what was in his deck but he didn't know what the fourth card was.

[@fenixmeaney6170]

So Adam's chat account, How DOES palace jailer work?

[@nartin9]

how is green sun not pointed

[@leow9158]

Taste the cube draft!

[@Lotties_handsaw]

1:01:35 I have forests and mountains, of course it resolves. I just don't want it to

[@jeremyblack1929]

Adam and Ben are such a great couple, I hope they make it!

[@nebDDa]

graham be like hmmm pass the fixing take the double black card

[@wwefan11222]

My reaction to someone playing Jace of any kind 1:22:31

[@koshi6505]

That's like three thousand dollars of cardboard on the table.

[@abelbugg8690]

Surprised cam did not use the phrase, storm count is 1

[@williamhager7543]

Cubetutor link?

[@davecortie5579]

Omg Adam is so funny. Put him on all the things!

[@user-pp5oh9ee1k]

I know I am really late but I think it would be cool if you drafted like 6 or 7 packs and then actually built a legal Highlander deck.

[@vegas_party_animal7737]

Adam messed up that last game. Should have used the ballista to finish off the pinger and the lava mancer before youung pyro mancer died.

[@Nicklas_Danielsson]

High lander??

[@aidanmcginty9341]

Ben needs to get on his glasses game

[@markharland2459]

Watching Adam not sacrifice his tokens optimally was painful.

[@wolfleopard808]

3:33 really grahm? That's one of my least favorite island designs.

[@abelbugg8690]

2:49:00 cam could have killed finks and ballista EOT

[@SoulsNThings]

Serge is fucking hilarious

[@exaveron]

i got really annoyed at cams into the roil game 2, he knew that he had top on the field and bonfire on top; if all he did was pass and then upkeep activate top to bonfire for 4 he would have been well ahead at that point.

[@mcamp999]

when u watch this now and here 80 buck and are like i wish it was that low

[@jaceduncan1333]

I'm just here

[@Dim4323]

Their can only be one

[@grantdotcom]

watching serge not put in palace jailer is infuriating

[@nebDDa]

AND RECRUITER

[@nebDDa]

he’s like “hmm does recruiter do enough?” when it literally finds every creature in his deck except for 2 of them”

[@esper4605]

19:18 Excuse me, did you just pass Brainstorm for something strictly worse?

[@markmason2216]

Love your nails, Ben!

[@epupmack5505]

Mark Mason why

[@markmason2216]

Reminds me of a campaign for gender creative youth called #BlueForJude from the first season of The Fosters. I also wish I could pull it off myself.

[@nickhobin6989]

PLLLLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ DOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MOREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE with either the same or different highlander cubesssss

[@williampeterson1154]

IZZET GLORY

[@Bob-xw2dg]

1:23:45

[@hungjury7482]

I've got 99 cards and a Commander isn't one

[@antonbagger1372]

1:01:53 tech n9ne?

[@antonbagger1372]

and in that case Graham. yes you are correct

[@Reboundary]

1:29:11 That didn't age well.

[@nartin9]

finally

[@yiayiasboy6312]

BEN U SHOULD HAVE WRATHED

[@merdehappens]

He couldn't have. No double white.

[@jackiesingleton2351]

1:22:30 Graham plays a card i like to call "Jace The Butt F-er". If anyone has a better/more fitting name I would love to hear it. P

[@xvcbfbdj3595]

I just noticed Ben’s nails are painted. But why?

[@ethanfordford6621]

izzet static caster lost all value once one sac outlet was cast...just saying

[@yiayiasboy6312]

Well, I'm not sleeping tonight

[@amacuro]

Tapping cards 45 degrees super annoying!

[@theeaterofpie]

we get it you're a judge, stop mentioning it every 2 minutes.

[@hornylink]

but did you know he's a judge? (love you serge you're great)

[@EternalDensity]

1:45:06 Adam calls him out on it :P
