Doing a Little Tinkering With My Mana Crypt | Vintage Cube Draft

[@darrellcozart4577]

I love how I can listen to your videos podcast style and still know exactly what’s going on. Thank you lsv!

[@dear1337er]

I like the second upheaval at 47:45 instead of the lethal citadel.

[@donskuzz]

or the lethal nettlesist from tinker

[@Douxbelle98]

Wonder how much viewership goes up when the thumbnail has 3 busted cards in it 😂

[@masonashlock5461]

I intentionally never look at the cards, as I love not knowing where the draft goes! But I bet it goes too the moon lol

[@Sup4ast4r]

We all want to see lsv play academy :D

[@TheMathmath123]

Just checked and yeah 😂 his videos with a bunch of power in the thumbnails seem to have 15-20k more views lol

[@Shinjo54a]

Doesn’t matter to me. I see a LSV vintage cube draft, and I watch. I’m a simple man.

[@kasperhalkjrjensen6098]

You guys check the thumbnails?

[@bricelory9534]

I always forget about the second ability of Bolas' Citadel, lol

[@bumpasaurus487]

Nice to see coalition relic and fractured identity back in your perview!! Those used to be some of your favorite cube cards, along with fallen shinobi. You would usually slam all three on site, and rightfully so.

[@danplath1]

I think that library keep seemed fine, seemed like a very low chance to get as screwed as you did

[@davidsmellie386]

I'm curious why you didn't consider running chaos defiler as a tinker target.

[@Pnic1193]

This probably makes me a bad person but man, a good upheaval deck has got to be my favorite thing in all of magic

[@roippi3985]

starting to think Mana Crypt is a pretty good magic card

[@bladdnun3016]

Idk, seems mid to me.

[@kaiseremotion854]

are you kidding?! It can cost THREE whole life a turn!

[@Waghabond]

Mana crypt is potentially a 7 turn clock and thats without your opponent ever attacking your life total. Like that card is seriously a trap idk why people keep picking it so highly

[@swiftdragonrider]

@@Waghabondhope this is sarcastic

[@Waghabond]

@@swiftdragonrider nah, absolutely not.

[@mvdplas8145]

I really love that you keep trying new cards for the cube!

[@alecbader7433]

At this point, lsv getting library has got to be a bit by the other drafters

[@Jingoa]

M1 G1 - Keeps 5 lands, Prism, and Brainstorm, draws Citadel (worst draw in deck), (justly) complains, then calls and draws the Relic of Sauron to fix and accelerate the Citadel out for a rando turn 5 win - this is the most LSV thing imaginable

[@eq.8640]

Who up tinkering their mana crypt

[@MatthewForsytheHi]

21:33 Just when you think LSV is getting unlucky, 21:49 he strikes again

[@namejeppe7]

Hey Louis, i'm curious about your 2nd pick force of will over ancient Tomb. With a first pick Tinker being your only other card at the time, AT is a turn 2 Tinker, also increasing the amount of cheap artifacts being able to cast turn 1 (0, 1 and 2 cmc artifacts), of which you want a bunch anyway for Tinker. Its a 6 player draft aswell so the amount of cards you see is smaller anyway, making me value the fast mana from AT higher too. At the time you wouldn't have known about the mox or crypt either. The damage is a factor, but first picking Tinker you already want to do busted stuff and not really play too long of a game. Force is a busted card, great interaction, but it forces you into a heavy blue deck on pick 2. Am i wrong about this? Is force just so much better of a card? Id love to hear your thoughts, or anybody elses for that matter

[@meetamitayus5810]

In a non-team draft would you have taken the Academy over the Sapphire?

[@Haarnetz]

Lsv has 2 moods. I would really like a lighting bolt and what is the artifact count

[@Marksmaan]

I was surprised you never considered using Chaos Defiler as a Tinker target or could be cast off artifact mana. When Citadel and Jewel are bad, Deflier would be sick.

[@williamnordhorn3391]

Hey LSV, I’m a fairly new subscriber and I’ve been really enjoying all these drafts! Have you ever used Chains of Mephistopheles in this cube? I’ve never seen the card played and was curious of how good it is and how it can be used

[@jrjamesson]

I don't get why batterskull is still in the cube, or why it would be chosen over a potential storm kill in a tinker citadel deck. Anyway great video as always!!

[@joaosergiodearaujoneto4151]

People forget the citadel's second ability way too often 😂😂😂

[@dennisjameson6492]

Could someone explain the power of paralx wave to me? I dont get it. I see that its okay at blinking your own creatures maybe? I guess removes blockers if your in white weenie? Those strategies sound weak to me tho.

[@Cecekcz]

0 color mana sources, 7 colorless mana sources, Pentad Prism in hand.

[@thewakaemu117]

Again I’d like to suggest a group random stipulation draft where everyone gets a different stipulation to follow but that there aren’t any doubles. So no two people have the same stipulation. And maybe one person on each team does not have a stipulation but no one knows who has what

[@kaiseremotion854]

They don't do this sorta thing cause they are playing for money

[@mvdplas8145]

I would prefer no-stipulation drafts.

[@nicolaslengal9380]

Americans be like: i don't see big diference between Germany and Austria. lol that's like saying I don't see big diference between U.S.A and Canada 😂

[@michaeldegrave5905]

More like saying you don't see a big difference between Wisconsin and Minnesota.

[@banditkeithkingofduelmonsters]

There isn't much of a difference between the u.s. and canada.

[@jbrown1381]

As an American, there isn't much difference between Canada and the US. I can't even tell when someone is Canadian half the time.

[@chadcload1349]

Austria is an island out in the pacific no?😂

[@jamesheyworth4370]

Austrian/German BIG difference Little moustache.

[@vampirelord1892]

Put Comet back in the cube you monster.

[@turbobrew]

No love for the tough cookie? Seems like a better spec than loran.

[@nosniboR_naI]

That pack 3

[@raistlinhelmi2645]

the Difference between Germans and Austrians is not that big . It is about the same as if you say to an american thats the same like a British or Australian. ;) . Nice Format by the way. Though I switched to Arena long time ago I Enjoy seeing these cards being played in cube and hope more and more will come to arena.

[@Beisser76]

The difference between Americans, Australians and Brits is much bigger though. Just going off their geography alone. Germany and Austria literally used to be the same country and while there are cultural differences, they aren't incredibly significant. Austrians just use funny words sometimes lol

[@Kettwiesel25]

​@@Beisser76 Austria and Germany were never the same country. It was planned or at least considered at some point whether the newly founded Germany should include Austria, but it never did.

[@eegles]

@@Kettwiesel25 Meanwhile, USA, Australia, and Britain really *were* the same country once!

[@LTJZamboni]

Not playing the relic and defiler feels like a mistake. You even had relic of Sauron and citadel to cheat on the defiler’s mana cost

[@josephbilling3886]

drawing relic of sauron in game 1 was definitely scripted 😂

[@cesarramon4636]

.

[@Spaccaspecchi]

Be careful with the differentiation between Germans and Austrians :D It's like calling Canadians (US) Americans or vice versa. Besides, I'm surprised no one is worried about the Germans teaming up with the Austrians again...

[@Ralphster37]

Get a grip weirdo

[@kraum290]

Don't lump in good magic players with the germans. smh

[@neohuber45]

"The germans/austrians". You know: equador is just another part of columbia 🙂 Im pretty sure you dont know that, but you are opening a can of flies. The "big difference" is related to a lot of very unpleasant things like the first and second world war, mass murder, Hitler (and Nazis in general) and other things in this category. Its a little bit like calling people from Kosovo "serbs" or calling people from "Donbas" russians... ...this is europe baby. Where these kind of things really matter and have a long and very complicated history. There are people who have very hard feelings over this... ...but you are from the US. We are used to americans saying stuff like this.

[@yonatanben-chaim9747]

Very American of you to just assume Germany and Austria are the same haha

[@dickdeoreo]

I would only assume the most elite of the uneducated Americans would think that

[@joaopedrosousa.]

Since the first time they appeared, LVS said "the Austrians", so I would say he know the difference. The Germans is probably related to other things.

[@yonatanben-chaim9747]

@@joaopedrosousa. I see I apologize

[@nsmith131]

I bet if you're European, you probably also conflate different states together. It would be kind of a miracle if you didn't, tbh.
