Channel Reid - Legacy Cube Draft (Match 1)

[@Bryan-T]

You drew one card off the confluence, but you're right, it's bugged apparently.

[@Khazuki_]

+Bryan T Same thing happened to an opponent of my mine. Barely noticed, wasn't sure till reading this.

[@FlyNavy906]

Yep, Wretched Confluence is bugged. When you drafted it I was wondering if this would come up.

[@demonsbanenathan]

+Str8 up Pwnage Doesn't that mean if you draft it, you get a free draft from Customer Support?

[@jackbauer123321]

wretched confluence has been bugged since at least last round of legacy cube earlier this year

[@progste]

weird, i played it back then and did not notice it, maybe i never drew three cards or did something different

[@ParadoxBassCube]

Wretched Confluence (3BB): - Draw a card - You loose 3 life

[@PhoenixLance13]

Ah, the quality programming of MTGO shines through once more

[@SkidMcmarxx]

Best mulligan in my lifetime

[@jofac22]

That wretched confluence would have tilted me to death.

[@thetwinkietroll5293]

Would it not have been better to just bounce back the monument making his creatures lose flying?

[@EGPGLWS7]

Hahaha, secure the wasted. That's what my friends have to play against me if I've been drinking during our games.

[@ogolthorp]

I don't think I'd ever cut bitterblossom against an agro deck. Even if you just chump with the faeiries every turn, it prevents a lot more than 1 damage a turn.

[@slapp5357]

Think about not having it in your opening hand. It's a very bad top deck when your opponent is swinging for massive amounts with many creatures each turn.

[@ogolthorp]

Sure. But most things would be a bad topdeck in that case. But it's incredibly strong in the first 4 turns. Even against an agro deck.

[@slapp5357]

+ogolthorp Removal? Good topdeck. Mass removal? Excellent topdeck. Planeswalker? Good topdeck. Big creature? Good topdeck. Confluence? Good topdeck. Also, having almost no mean to get rid of it himself and just Sorin as a source of lifegain, it would slowly kill him.

[@Spaccaspecchi]

Why the main phase Doomblading?

[@GoldenWowProductions]

+TheKillerManfred You don't want it to attack, and you don't want to run into mana tithe or something. Other than that, what's the point of waiting?

[@Spaccaspecchi]

Voidpaw The opponent can still play something that might be more of a threat. Certainly the chance for that is higher than an aggro deck running Mana Tithe. But I agree with you, there are very few plays he could have made that would not result in him destroying the attacking creature, anyways. Still, more knowledge is always better.

[@GoldenWowProductions]

+TheKillerManfred If you do it on your opponents turn you give him the chance to save his creature

[@seannissen2509]

+TheKillerManfred Sweeet f6 value

[@HTXVintageVibes]

if you right click on the card in your hand and choose the modes it works fine. if you only have 1 mode it does that

[@clelvis225]

Actually Reid, this isn't even the best mulligan decision I've seen you make on a CFB video...about a year ago in a legacy cube draft posted on CFB you took about three minutes going over why a certain hand was a mulligan...and I commented on that video that the decision you made is what separates good players like myself from great players like you....

[@afgeaj1]

+clelvis225 Well said. Not sure if I am thinking of the same video, but I remember a very similar situation in a BFZ draft around December 2015. Round 1, Reid made an extremely disciplined mulligan+scry to the bottom that I too commented on. I distinctly remember saying to myself as soon as I saw the scry, "top". Reid bottomed. We all know how the rest of this story goes.

[@brandontaylor2325]

That opening line was disgusting. Don't ever say that please

[@sean5534]

You lost 3 life and drew 1 card I think.

[@NerdboiisAfroMan]

+Sean Levin-Pompetzki The ol' 5 mana lose 3 life draw 1. Value.

[@rapidcore100]

+Darth Syhr lol!
