Channel LSV: Vintage Cube #4

LSV once again jumps into a Vintage Cube, and starts things off right with an Ancestral Recall. Where will he go from there?

"I don't generally take win conditions..." Ah, that's the LSV we know and love.

[@maxbaymiller8944]

When he said that I immediately went to comments and expected this to be at the top

[@braylenzeke4269]

i dont mean to be offtopic but does anyone know a way to get back into an instagram account?? I was stupid forgot my account password. I love any assistance you can give me.

[@braylenzeke4269]

@Travis Kyson thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im in the hacking process now. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.

[@braylenzeke4269]

@Travis Kyson It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thanks so much you really help me out :D

[@gondalfinkarabnamishmat3750]

Finally get to see LSV pilot a blue deck in cube!

[@Vesdus]

At the start of every draft you can hear the dark side of LSV slowly drifting more and more towards storm before he suddenly snaps back to reality and makes the safer pick.

(and it was still bad) - LSV

[@maxpedro2]

@@ChannelFireball I was about to say, proceeds to side it out every time it's possible, and never plays it. It's a good to discard tho..

[@joseluki]

@@ChannelFireball because you did not pick the vampire hexmage

[@jigan001]

Im so glad I wasnt the only one who noticed lol

[@overweightactor]

He picked it optimistically, while mentioning the caveat.

[@__AlexTheGr8__]

I swear, LSV is going to be in mono red and will still slam Golos AND manage to activate it

[@BarginsGalore]

ALEXANDER well you fetch a land. How could you not get all the colours from that?

[@chenwin5]

Yeah picking Golos over Karnfather was a weird one. The latter can win games by itself whereas Golos can't.

[@BetaJim22]

@@chenwin5 Ummmm....I've seen LSV win off just Golos on these vintage drafts a lot. Nothing going on activate Golos win.

[@waynebairstow3906]

The game at 1:00:00 from the opponent's perspective is just a neverending parade of OP drawing the perfect cards in the perfect order.

[@karanojin]

aka every time i lose in magic (every time i win is skill)

[@scottmillor]

just alyx I’m in this comment and I don’t like it

[@Hunkn0w]

Ancestral recall in the thumbnail? Blue is open guys.

[@chemset475]

""I don't generally take win conditions, but..." - the LSV I know and love

Can this be a daily thing hahah. My days automatically stop to watch your vintage drafts or you playing legacy or vintage in general.

[@rekenner]

you appear to be getting your wish.

[@tek3311]

rekenner drafts yes, legacy or vintage constructed nononono

[@formwithoutcontent]

That last game was the most LSV win ever! :D

[@jean-christophedancause5587]

LSV: I don't know why Karn hasn't been picked yet, it's pretty strong. Also LSV: *Skips Karn

[@arcaeus7519]

His deck wasn't a good Karn deck.

[@jean-christophedancause5587]

@@arcaeus7519 Yes, and so must have been all the other decks before! that's my point

[@lequinow]

@@jean-christophedancause5587 That's the surprising thing, that by the time it came by it wasn't a good pick for anyone else before.

olllrighty welcome to another cube draft

[@Jonziebal]

Last game was really impressive from the perspective of holding on, keep trying and win by an inch. I really like your streams. I feel I can learn a lot from just listening to your reflections.

[@Bigdisgrace22]

It's incredible the difference in the quality of the video between LSV not sreaming and LSV streaming

[@sanctuarygaming4984]

2 tutors and 2 flashback effects means ancestral recall got to be cast, twice, almost every game. So awesome.

[@bradleylovej]

That last game was insane

[@shaihulud9263]

An LSV draft without the questionable Twitch chat "discussions"? Take my thumbs up friendo

[@bonusdonutjake]

Dude amen for real haha

[@cheefjeef2437]

Lsv is a phenomenal cube streamer.

[@reecehuff8030]

Watching LSV cube has taught me to take the outlandishly silly pick, because you will ALWAYS get the supporting payoff card in the very next pack.

[@ChannelFireball]

💯

[@pairot01]

It's not THAT hard to synchronize audio and video. It's been YEARS, Luis.

[@runyon833]

Ritual, Demonic for twist, twist when he had 3 in hand

[@henzender9275]

It will never fail to impress me how many times lsv finds to play that single copy of ancestral

[@q1006662]

Love to see several of these coming out in such a short period of time. Thank you!

[@gougoule1512]

They should replace Thing in the Ice with Ominous Seas. Maybe it will be more playable with all the Timetwisters effect.

[@KK-pm7ud]

Give an average driver a Porsche and they'll crash it. Give an expert the same car and watch them go. That last game is fire.

[@walkeryeatman2775]

Green seemed WIDE open this draft.

[@gavinzurmely7998]

Passing Metamorph and Consecrated Sphinx for Mystical Tutor and Mind Twist? Who are you and what have you done with LSV?! Edit: I’m also pissed off he didn’t take Bolas in the second pack. He was set up perfectly for it.

[@Hunkn0w]

Bolas is the worst planewalker on the cube.

[@bluebird2807]

Consecrated Sphinx definitely is a victim of power creep

[@blackdawn99ify]

I don't generally take win conditions.

[@zacharyadler4071]

Take these videos down! I’m addicted to them

[@jshaffer3370]

Love me some LSV cube.

[@roippi3985]

Point of order: can one refer to a deck as “cheons” if it’s blue/black?

[@willreddy2856]

A new archetype five color ancestral

[@RCTricking]

Another cube draft? Christmas in July!

[@einoseikkula1847]

Keep this content coming please

[@airjamy]

At 35:40, i think it would have been the best line and ultimate bm to Gearhulk Kologhans Command in draw step.. but the game was already won at that point ofcourse.

[@Neth91]

"why i karn still there" - takes not-karn

[@arcaeus7519]

His deck wasn't the deck for Karn

[@gregorykelly8000]

Lovely draft and play

[@shawn6669]

Every time I hear LSV say "I really only like Soulfire Grandmaster with Timewalk" I wan't to scream! It's also an infinite combo with Turnabout! Seriously.

[@vy1585]

Wow Thing in the Ice really demonstrating how garbage it is every time it shows up in your hand.

[@overweightactor]

23:00 is just a nasty amount of value.

[@samneal2635]

I can't believe Luis still didn't open any Power :(

[@Arghore]

Tnx for sharing, those were some awesome games ! .. also really liked the deck, just a decent amount of decent with a little sprinkle of amazing and nonsense on top ^^

[@jackrosen1]

Missed out on Through the Breach > Badlands > Blightsteel > Corpse Dance > Putrid Imp. That deck was sooo open.

[@arcaeus7519]

He 3-0'd. He got badlands. The rest of those cards are kinda bad without anything else...

[@zacharyadler4071]

I feel like lsv dismissed nicol-bolas at 6:40 without giving it a second thought but this deck actually seems like a good nicol bolas deck. Leaning into black especially with those black lands and the ramp he has, dimir signet, is in the colors of nicol bolas

[@ArCaNiS23]

at 40:59 , why not play ritual, DT for mindtwist and twist them for 3 instead of discarding?

[@ArCaNiS23]

you saw it too 2 min later, nevermind

[@davidwalshy9158]

Repeal seemed like an easy cut in the third match when you were doing the red pivot after game one.

[@jong2563]

Keep em comming!!! Best mtg content

[@q---p]

Wow this last game...

[@zonink4601]

>Is in grixis, >doesn't take dragon god. man.... some poor dude put that card in the cube just for the one time someone is in grixis control. and LSV doesn't take it. or even mention it. rip

[@marsh357]

Or play the card he took over it 😢

[@seannissen2509]

40:52 if afraid of Narset wheel isn't K command their mox a good option? Only way they could pull that combo off next turn would be top deck ritual that nets at least 2 mana. Also lets you think first and gets some problematic card out of their hand. Also lets you flip thing next turn

[@TheBCRob]

at 40:55, whats the consideration on dark ritual -> demonic tutor -> mind twist opponent's hand. Then discard one card for turn

[@TheBCRob]

oops, you did it the following turn! Glad you saw it

[@EiJoYuJo]

5:20 So if you take a misty at any point why would you not just fetch an island to help cast expansion as a stomping ground is essentially a colorless land?

[@joseluki]

Missed vampire in the ice + vampire hexmage...

[@JoeyKneecap]

41:15 - instead of discarding, how sweet would Ritual - DT for Mind Twist - Mind Twist for 3 have been. Oh well. Edit: He did that two turns later. I approve, haha.

[@calebdelore3778]

More!

What about Thing in the ice in storm? 😂

[@Rannalt]

CFB never has CC on. It's frustrating. LSV has A LOT to say.

[@laszlovincze5095]

Thing in the Ice doing what it does best, which is absolutely nothing

[@kylealejandro2022]

In P1P3, say you drafted a High Tide the pick before, do you take Frantic Search over Demonic Tutor at that point?

[@LSVargas]

I'd probably still tutor but it's pretty close at that point, could see going either way

[@davidhenry1421]

Don’t EVER take thing in the ice. Not because it is bad, but because YOU think it is bad. So you will literally never play it when you should. Just a waste of a pick and a spot whenever it is in your deck.

[@tywill31]

Concession to jeskai player in response to wheel seemed premature. Yes you're behind on board, but you're not mana screwed, you're getting a fresh 7, and you're at 15 life. Why not play that out? It's exciting to me to see how great players navigate from a bad position.

[@nephiduff2856]

No vampire hexmage for thing in the ice?

[@SkidMcmarxx]

surprised you didn't take treachery

[@pairot01]

1:16:05 what you do is play snapcaster, target ancestral, let mind twist resolve, draw 3 cards, and plan to kill them with explosion. Did you not see the ancestral in the bin?

[@pairot01]

Wow, Karn got disrespected hard

[@Jaryism]

Wow, I guess me and LSV are just sooo different people when it comes to draft. I've VERY much just tempo and midrange aggro and card advantage, I LOVEE me some Grixis mid-range aggro. For example, he just kept passing on cards like Bitterblossom, Flametongue Kavu, Nekrataal, etc. actually the only one I really agreed on was Baleful Strix, but yeah.... it's just weird, 'cause 3/4 through his draft and I'm looking at it his deck so far, puzzled, like "ok... you have virtually no removal, no board sweeps... you have like 1 finisher, potentially... how tf are you gonna' win again?" 90% of his cards were just tutors, mana fixers, a counter, and draw, I'm just so confused... how the hell is any of that better than dropping a turn 2 bitterblossom, throwing a Jitte on it and just riding that to victory. I dunno, maybe vintage is a little different but I've played Legacy since the mid-2000's and it's so weird and backwards how he drafts for one playstyle of deck and just hopes to pull a wincon out of his ass at the very end (and scarily usually gets away with it), what would you do if you pass every good creature/walker and get to the end of the draft and you have nothing with meat on it to win the game?

[@LSVargas]

the strategies youre describing are more effective in modern or legacy cube, because in vintage cube you'll get overpowered by combo finishes if you don't have a lot of counters or disruption

[@IsaacEternal]

Wait. There's a number 4?

[@ChannelFireball]

title fixed, this is #4

[@ManuelBerfelde]

audio snyc issues...

[@bigwig8657]

Wow I definitely woulda slotted in young peezy with 5 sources, brainstorm, ancestral golos. And what 9 cheap instants or sorceries, snappy and gearhulk.

[@LocardowsmanTV]

Even at the end of the draft I'm still hoping this is somehow going to turn into a storm deck... You are breaking my heart Rip brain freeze p3p1

Why chalice over bolas 😢

Karen would have been better than Golos in every game. 🙈

[@bushidoboar5260]

personally watching a deck just counter EVERYTHING someone plays is boring. Dislike control decks in EDH too, no fun to not be able to play anything, though i guess in draft if it works it works.

[@daviddutra1559]

4 cubes in a row? Bring more m21 drafts man! We want to see you drafting!!!!

[@zzafrica87]

[@jonathanwilson3463]

I was optimistic when you picked mind twist, and then you turned back into LSV and just picked the same boring red and blue cards you do every draft.

[@jonathanwilson3463]

"Theres something clean about...blah blah blah" you picked boring cards and turned my excitement at a new video into instant boredom and resignation. If I wanted to watch legacy delver videos that's what I would go do.

[@LSVargas]

ok
