Can LSV Master The Lost Caverns Of Ixalan Draft?

[@francomatiasmarron1274]

16:22 Luis you've been playing this game for so many years and you still get the thrills before testing a new limited brew. So wholesome and inspiring. I hope you play Magic for a very long time!

[@cosmicavatar773]

LSV the legend, its always a pleasure seeing you play magic. You and Patrick Chapin are two of my favorite magic players. Thanks to you and ChannelFireball for all that you do for the magic community.

[@DisregardedHappiness]

not the one piece thumbnail!

[@mccaffreyjonathan]

He's a Straw Hat Pirate ( Cap equipment)

[@alp2ccc138]

17:56 This will be inevitable without interaction. Even before seeing the length of the video, I can honestly guess, Luis can't go much further with this deck in today's limited standards.

[@toversnoleu8769]

that third Altisaur drop was pretty funny!

[@gagewoodcock2479]

I have had a lot of success with the blue green explore deck in this limited format

[@marianoriverotorres2645]

Currently watching at 3:30, but aren't you supposed to pivot into blue white with p5 oltec p6 petrify? Or at least consider it? What is the reasoning behind picking 3 red cards first pick then ignore the rest of the boosters till draft ends? I understand ignoring stuff like UG

[@MrBrightside6969]

He's very very high on izzet aggro, probably saw enough solid enough early great cards for that and forced. But yeah considering the pivot might have been really nice

[@danielchicas537]

Forcing after 3 great pics. Tempo format and r/u is busted in terms of tempo. Also BO1 increasing the effectiveness of agro = the nuts.... I actually hate watching nummy and these guys force this, makes drafting it impossible since everyone is mimicking. Also gives the illusion that u/r is open a lo lot when its actually the opposite. But due to them mostly showing good drafts they will more then likely be in a good color , hence all the b/r bo1 draft videos from everyone and their mother. That being said he started off with best two blue c/u and it wasn't really a force... but yes in b03 staying open especially to a top 3 deck like blue white would be the way to go at a pro tour where you know all drafters have nearly the same skill level. Wall o text😂

[@svendejong8110]

Yeah when you see the two best white commons in a row P1P5 and P6, you should probably take those over Volatile Wanderglyph and Inverted Iceberg. Pack 2 and 3 would've been much better too, basically UW one drop flying tribal with a bunch of one and two mana equipments.

[@crushedscouter9522]

lol no

[@alp2ccc138]

@@danielchicas537 Well to be fair, I saw three Akawali's in there. Someone will trade all day and bring them back against these aggro decks and win.

[@TheDylls]

P1P1... "Flying Man with upside?!" 👴👴😂

[@Jingoa]

Etali's nepotism 😤

[@no-name4u]

I've always wanted to do a draft where I just let the timer run out and let it randomly choose my cards and see if I can make it work. But every time I decided to do that I open a major bomb and decide "screw that!"

[@thornboroughhomes7953]

Haha man thats so funny I was just thinking that the other day!! someone needs to make that video!!!

[@TheDylls]

**LSV drafts equipment** 😅❤

[@Adrian-pm2yj]

why didnt he equip the ship to 6 power at 29:00? Could have killed both blockers, what am i missing?

[@argenmendon2661]

30s later he does say it probably was better. He just wanted to go off whit the ship. One could maybe make the argument that it is better to spend the mana going wide. but I don't see that being the case

[@RS-ng9lb]

The thumbnail got me, I had to come see what’s going on here

[@voitekfilipowicz6401]

That must have been the fastest deck optimization ever!

[@kikimdo]

Is the thumbnail a hint that LSV will start playing the One Piece TCG? 🤔

[@wmichaelbooth]

Maybe Im crazy, but theres no way im passing pick 5 Cloud Guard for Volatile Wanderglyph when my only red cards are Tomb Raider and Pick Ax.

[@akirachisaka9997]

I feel like explore decks can often work. ...in GW... ...with the signpost drawing you cards every turn Yeah often times explore feels like a GW theme

[@CoL_Drake]

i dont know so far i always did green blue explore and i splashed white once for the rare that just makes ur nicanzill end as a 20/21 xD i have way more success with simic so far

[@RPG_Bliss]

Ty for the Ixilan !

[@chunkymonkey428]

My buddies and I did a draft the other day and my god is Orzhov vampires a sick deck. I 3-0’d and took first with it.

[@quentincompson5201]

This deck is to win on turn ~8. If the opponent manages to play 4/5 dinosaur - that's it, there are no removals. So I feel like the format is a bit broken in that sense.

[@9spiders]

Straw-Hat Luis.

[@avee1210]

The L in LSV stands for Luffy

[@ggray414]

Discover is busted in limited

[@CoL_Drake]

3 times simic 3 times 7 wins carried by nicanzill hard xD i dont know why people dislike simic, as long as u have nicanzill its just amazing

[@pistolpete7422]

Especially since basically all the playable C/U in the colors will explore or make maps

[@aguyyouneverknew]

You have to fight over basically all of the explore cards with people that are in other colors because explore is just generically good in any deck and most of them are fairly efficient creatures. UG CAN work really well if you get a good draft, but without getting some very specific cards, UG just kinda sucks.

[@kelseyo402]

I mean if you have Nicanzil it’s on rails, but you just have to get the right cards. I’ve seen it be unbeatable and I’ve seen it just never get going. So you have to make sure you have the payoffs and enablers in good proportions, and I think that turns some people off. Same reason why some people don’t like drafting sac decks. The proportions are a balancing act.

[@mommaantiques]

can't take signpost uncommon P1P2 and still refuses to admit this format is trashy

[@ESC2016]

Bored by all of these Blue-Red, Blue-White decks full of 1 & 2 mana drop tbh. Everyone is playing these and this limited format turned into the worst one I have ever played.

[@rodintremboy6459]

Agreed. Can we please get more formats where you dont look at cards in 2 of the 5 colors and go "nah these colors just arent good enough to draft."

[@nicksplanarinn3663]

It is really annoying and it really feels like one of the worst limited every played, I think it's mostly a problem of the best of 1 format? I don't know, I haven't been able to play paper Best of 3 Ixalan limited... But yes on Arena Bo1 it's like the worst I've ever played so far (started playing Arena limited on AFR).

[@alp2ccc138]

There were three Akawali's in the packs. They boss these aggro decks, try it.

[@kelseyo402]

I personally like it, I mean worst ever seems like a stretch, Capenna wasn’t that long ago. Gruul is 3rd place in archetypes so at least 4 colors are playable. 1/2 the archetypes play really strong and the other half you can make work with the right cards.

[@Bakeddru]

Blue green is always hot garbage every single format

[@cruthius6154]

Ive said it before and I will say it again, Worst Draft Set Ever!!!!
