[@mattfenner7824]

The relief in your voice when you say the trophy streak is over, XD. Glad to know it didn’t burn you out of Vintage cube entirely!

[@CalebGannon]

I took a week off which helped a lot too :) Also being able to draft this beautiful monstrosity as the first deck beck definitely helped :p

[@TheJannis1994]

28:30 they actually had the burst lighting so they would've fizzled treachery on a non prowess creature. Sharp plays end up mattering

[@CalebGannon]

ahah! that always feels good to know. Thanks for pointing it out

[@wasted4satan390]

Opponent concedes. Caleb "NOOOOOOO!" Literally everyone else, "Yes!"

[@TheKilskast]

Just discovered your content recently with the pauper storm cycling deck. Your draft videos are addictive. I love the analysis you make during the picks, and you have a very fun personality. Keep up the great work!

[@Ceb9706]

Found caleb a few days ago. Same. I'm addicted

[@CalebGannon]

Hey welcome to the channel both of you! Glad you're enjoying the content :)

[@Ceb9706]

@@CalebGannon Thank you so much! Best channel I've found in forever. Just got back into MTG and I'm having just as much fun watching you as I am playing

[@ninjamonkey2321]

Thanks for the consistent content. I truly do look forward to watching your videos each day. Of all the mtg youtubers I honestly can say I prefer your videos most.

[@CalebGannon]

Thank you so much! glad you're enjoying the videos :)

[@timtiborschroeder]

Ahh, the streak is over so Caleb can play dumb Stuff like Eldrazi Storm. Love it.

[@sirgroucho9512]

Lmao, as soon as you don’t need to trophy this is the deck you draft LOVE IT

[@m.scheler5648]

Stream over: Storm immediatly

[@javierkulemeyer4150]

I love that relief in your voice. Like the win is finnally over, now i can habe fun.

[@justinmeek4529]

Caleb: I’ll stop playing to win when the streak is over, after that we can go back to fun stuff. *next video is literally titled ELDRAZI STROM*. Me: ahhh. Yes.

[@01clould]

Your scream when you cast Mind's Desire and your opponent conceded made me lose it lol

[@louisholding5521]

there honestly isn't much better than watching one of your videos to chill out in the evening

[@filippodardi2180]

You might be my favourite MtG content creator ever. You are amazingly skilled, as proven more than once, but always up for some dumb, fun, unique shenanigans. I strive to be a Calebber player :D

[@CalebGannon]

Thank you so much! And yeah I think a lot of people forget that at the end of the day this is just a game and its meant to be fun, so I hope you can enjoy that aspect of the game as much as I do too :)

[@caidenwalter6342]

Nothing is better than when Caleb notices that his opponent might have an out and then realizes that he shouldn’t fear failing on a line because the payoffs make all of his watchers keep coming back. His play style is extremely unique and fun because he never goes for easy win conditions and always turns his storm decks into works of art. I can appreciate this type of play.

[@CalebGannon]

[@nicklittle8399]

Good morning to another great CG draft ❤

[@mikecase2033]

Your videos are so great! I just discovered this channel and have now watched like 10 hours of vids. Thanks for the great content and great plays

[@CalebGannon]

Thanks mike! glad you're enjoying the videos!

[@rob3681]

I love caleb lmao. We have no fixing in our 3 color deck... ooh splashing channel! haha

[@josephblattert6311]

My favorite part is that you said "See, I don't need Bribery. I have my own Emrakul!" and then your opponent takes your own Emrakul with bribery 😂

[@CalebGannon]

so dumb lol

[@jonathanblinn3560]

Thanks for the great content. Your ability to make both great tryhard decks and great for fun decks makes every video new and exciting. Keep up the good work, and if people talk trash, ignore the haters.

[@CalebGannon]

Thank you :) and haha yeah I'm getting better at that as the channel grows. It's weird how much more impactful negative comments are than I thought looking from the outside (it's oddly similar to a negative performance review from your boss, since youtube comments are really the only feedback you get. Imagine your boss saying some of the things you find on youtube comments lol o.O) But eventually you learn to just ignore them.

[@GUIHTD]

@@CalebGannon Yeah. Agreed. When push comes to shove, all you can control is your reaction to outside circumstances (like youtube comments), not the circumstances themselves. Thanks for the videos. Really appreciate it. Great fun to watch. And it seems like it's great fun for you to make them as well.

[@manuelfernandeztato2185]

A beer, a sandwich, and caleb ganon drafting is all i needed today.

[@CalebGannon]

what kind of sandwich?

[@manuelfernandeztato2185]

@@CalebGannon I dont know if this is the right translation but here i go: stuffed loin sandwich

[@CalebGannon]

that must have been a fun sentence to translate :)

[@nathano6277]

Speaking of fun decks and staying open I had a draft start similar recently where I was kind of metalworker storm where the line of play ended up being Brain freeze myself and finding the win w/ Goblin Welder shananigans. Great stuff.

[@rainbowdragon6665]

This deck was Sweet with a captial S, and Caleb was entertaining as always

[@brendanmorales4504]

This was so fun to watch! Thanks for taking me on an adventure

[@iwakuralain3064]

15:23 don't forget about shallow grave, crack led

[@GoldenFelix]

Hi Caleb, I started watching your content with the Cube Trophy run and I must say that I love it! Heck, I don't even play magic myself (am a filthy YGO Player ;D ) and I love how you reason and explain your picks and moves, makes it very enjoyable even as a non-player. You earned a sub, man :D

[@CalebGannon]

Thank you FedePheonix! Glad you're enjoying the content even though you don't even play haha. I do that with league of legends so I kinda get it :p

[@Matt-dc8lp]

Too good...need more 5 color jank crazieness!

[@qwertyfinger]

this is caleb. caleb is kind to his inner timmy. be like caleb.

[@wookiewasabi5194]

The only thing that ended up defeating Dr Gannon was the mtgo card shuffler

[@samuelcreighton2530]

Very fun draft!! At 13:30, why not just pick vampiric tutor to upgrade your imperial seal?

[@eeeeeeedward]

Love your vids man! They are so relaxing. I dont know if you know anything about asmr but i think your vibe would be great.

[@TomMKW]

"we opened sol ring again. Can we go 26-1?" :DD ...... to soon?

[@TheForbiddenDance]

I removed bribery from my cube after having it in for exactly one iteration of the cube.

[@supermegalodon8324]

Well played! You're still my indestructible Hero ! 💪

[@eeeeeeedward]

Always great games i can always count on Caleb for my mtg fix! Idk if i missed a post but do you have any new artwork coming out?

[@CalebGannon]

I'm working on building an art website and finding a print shop to work with at the moment, then I'll get back to making art more regularly

[@aaronkling]

I finally got caught up over the weekend, so I've been jonesing for a new video, haha. (I'm also so bored these days I've seriously considered trying to do some sort of analysis of your draft picks/win percentage for all your drafts. I'm not sure if it's worth it, though, given how the cubes are updated over time. Thoughts?)

[@CalebGannon]

I think it would probably be worth it. I mostly just want to find out what my win rates by archetype/card combos are. I've actually been planning a community project where I'll ask people in my discord to collect decklists and win rates for all of my videos I'll do some analysis and make a video about it and then the data will be open source so if you wanted to do any of your own analysis it would save a lot of time over going through 150+ videos on your own

[@justincurtis1081]

I think Bribery is in the cube to punish creature decks! It wins games by itself hence being in this cube.

[@gustavocardoso2943]

Sorry for disturbing you during the draft! I just wanted to say good vibes and keep up the great content :)

[@CalebGannon]

no problem! you had no idea I was drafting haha I appreciate the kind words though :)

Storm draft HYPE

[@gregorykelly8000]

Next 2 trophies in a row...please start drafting to win? Great stuff. And thank you for teaching me to draft and most importantly play storm.

[@CalebGannon]

I'll definitely do more drafting to win series :) I'm just trying to figure out what the best way to set those up

[@faceoctopus4571]

While I have nothing against your drafts, any idea of when you will show off more pauper brews?

[@CalebGannon]

whenever I feel like it really haha

[@iansamuel1811]

if you wouldn't play witchclaw talisman anyway, why not upgrade the vamp tutor?

[@marq_8976]

I got an idea for a Cube: alt win cons. Everybody has infinite life so must win with infinite combos, milling, etc.

[@brandonheselton6872]

Caleb Gannon Drafting after picking one high tide: yeah I'll take this card it's good with high tide

[@CalebGannon]

I don't understand this comment lol, what's weird about drafting cards that work well together?

[@brandonheselton6872]

@@CalebGannon no that's fine but there's a segment in the video where like 4-5 cards in a row you picked because they where good with high tide. I just thought it was funny because you value high tide alot more that everyone else

[@CalebGannon]

oh yeah high tide is one of the best cards in the cube for sure

[@גיללוי-ר2ב]

This is about what I expected

[@ninjamonkey2321]

Serious question... with the cost of cards being so high and love of vintage cube being so high do you CALEB find proxy cards for cube drafting acceptable or not?

[@CalebGannon]

Yes 100%. There is no other way to do vintage cube really, and even then I think the fear of damaging the cards or them being stolen would detract from the fun. I also proxy for commander for similar reasons (but I play commander for fun, so Its not like I'm proxying up a broken deck, just some old niche cards that are a lotta money).

[@erik19borgnia]

CalEb WHy yOu ALwAys fORce StOrM?!?!?!!?!?!111 That first op had a really nice deck, but your's was really strong too! I was looking forward to another trophy but the dream went out fast xD

[@CalebGannon]

I think I used up a lot of my luck on that trophy streak haha, I keep getting just barely robbed out of trophies now. Which I guess one could attribute to the decks I am drafting... but shh :p

[@ChadZeluff]

Titles should hype us for how many times you can go 2-1 in a row! :D

[@CalebGannon]

lmao that would be essentially an infinite streak

[@dimbo84]

You inspired me to create an mtgo account and give vintage cube a go. Having seen nothing more than your videos and you saying mono white is best for new cube players, I managed to trophy. I've now done a second draft and have 3 power 9 cards but I'm not sure I actually have anything else 😅

[@CalebGannon]

that's awesome to hear! nice work

No more pressure :)

[@andrewf6167]

The legend

[@Spaccaspecchi]

I'm only at the deck building portion right now, but I could definitely see cutting red. Your mana is super rough and just channeling out big bois with a combo engine behind it seems like a solid gameplan. That being said, I'm down with the nonsense you're doing instead.

[@CalebGannon]

its definitely an option, but we would need like 8 green sources to somewhat reliably channel which would also ruin the high tide plan. I think getting past in flames and wheel is a huge boost though

[@iansamuel1811]

passes 13th pick faithless looting... 3 sec later: "I don't have many discard outlets for emrakul" *facepalm*

[@CalebGannon]

Just saying I don't have discard outlets doesn't mean I wanted them, I was just pointing out that the shallow grave dream was probably not worthwhile

[@omologo95]

You kinda don't want Looting in storm anyways

[@phoshigs]

I love you Caleb!

[@CalebGannon]

[@Revanur1]

I really don't get the hate for Bribery in Cube. Why is it ok to Channel out an Emrakul T2 in Green or Sneak in an Emrakul, but not to have a way to punish the broken decks in control decks? It's also a near miss against a bunch of other decks which in turn balances the Bribery a bit also.

[@CalebGannon]

Bribery is a one card combo whereas channel or sneak require two cards, one of which is uncastable unless you find channel or sneak specifically (I also think channel should not be in the cube for what it's worth). Sneak I think is ok because it costs 5 total mana and two cards, so its a lot slower than the others and you don't get the cast trigger like with channel

[@SailingToo]

Also easy soul ring again

[@vashvalverde3964]

ANOTHER SOL RING

[@antoniobrito6172]

First day after the end of Tryhard Caleb-Caleb:”me go storm me strong😤😤😤”

[@chibeees]

That’s gotta be the worst mana I’ve ever seen

[@CalebGannon]

how? our deck is basically mono blue and we only need to find 1 mountain off 3 draw sevens

[@chibeees]

The channel was very greedy

[@CalebGannon]

it was mostly a meme lol but if we are going off we will be able to cast it off LED or lotus

[@chibeees]

But That’s not when you need it

[@chibeees]

You want it on turn 2-4

[@claytonetchison6244]

Litterally has to stop watching the video when u cut luka....

[@CalebGannon]

we only had like 2 targets and its 5 mana

[@ruaridhusher4373]

Bribery and Oko should not be in the cube, a traditionally not-very-competitive format imo

[@sadnibba4070]

I feel like bribery is even more of the feels bads because sometimes the card is straight ass and sometimes you just win. At least oko is a good card in a vacuum.

[@vidyagametourist]

As a new player to the game, I find these kinds of decks interesting but boring. I prefer a game that's fun versus just full of clever tricks that result in turns taking 15 minutes each. Maybe that's just me.
