[@brendanmorales4504]

Sometimes I like it when you fine fellows at CFB upload a non-stream capture of a draft video. Props. Thank you.

[@BBrecht]

Alexa, what is the most LSV phrase? 9:08: "I don't think cutting blue is where I want to be"

[@dbregman85]

1:19:09 avalanche riders looks sweet as a black card!

[@ed1726]

Yes LSV, you beautiful man. This is just what I wanted to see.

[@seanmarkie8013]

"...at some point these squirrels are going to kill me, I suppose..." - LSV (35:57) Priceless

[@gusb6703]

Next time they bring vintage cube you need to build up a cache of them to upload during the dry months.

[@macc.1132]

Just watch this one over and over, since Blue or Blue/Black are his typical drafts.

[@quintoncrewell8351]

that pass on the fractured identity hurt my soul

[@tylerbennett5381]

"Ooh I get a lunch break" -LSV 2019

[@Need2Noh]

“At some point the squirrels are gonna kill me.” -LSV My dog feels the same way man

[@johnsanko4136]

"Sneak Attack, why are they using this art... abomination." -LSV speaking to my soul.

[@themagicalbush]

“So basically I can pay 4 mana to draw a card... sounds good to me!” - this why LSV plays blue

[@big53mac]

i see lsv, i click

[@DaelinD]

Legacy Cube Draft!? LSV!? And he gets to go on a lunch break!? It's the TRIFECTA!

[@bradleylovej]

OMG Luis passed Fractured Identity. Sure it wasn't in his colors, but in a lot of cases he would just take it and make it work

[@Charles-mz7rm]

What is LSV's favorite suffix? -ino

[@NerohEdits]

Dark confidant plus griselbrand is a sweet combo - lsv

[@italianyourjourney]

The match at 48 is a great lesson for who thinks to have won and cast a dangerous Armageddon hahaha

[@johnnyk5]

When you passed up the Godless Shrine a second time in p3 for Hippie...which you immediately put in the sideboard...it hurt.

[@RW77777777]

we did get to see Smiting Helix off the bench in round 3

[@frayacedare5246]

That cavalier was pretty good this draft

[@PoignantName]

Awesome to see some of the new cards in action. Yawgmoth in particular seems sweet in cube. Also, thank you for uploading a video which is not a re-upload of a stream, and in which you don't draft every blue card!

[@scottlewis5521]

I've never loved someone I've never met as much as I love LSV. I snap click any notification I get from CFB that says Draft and LSV in it!

[@Kettwiesel25]

At 42:50 or so you should have sacced your chumpblocker with yawgmoth to remove the unblocked token. Same Life Total change but less tokens for your opponent.

[@vy1585]

yep misplay

[@SpektralJo]

Lsv cube drafts are just so good

[@Neth91]

i just want to see him draft some kind of green or white smash deck for once...

[@jrjamesson]

I think double brain maggot (with phant image) in game 2 against that green deck (around 37 minutes) would have been an interesting play instead of putting yourself at mercy of the zenith

[@zwouip]

also my thought

[@edwardgarmon8891]

Great content

[@Arghore]

I liked the cavalier, more then i thought i would, but you do need to build around it or have the deck to play it (this deck was sort of perfect for it with all the ETB two-drops or just etb. value low powered creatures)... as sacking a creature just to take out one doesn't always feel great esp. when behind on board ... but if the deck is right, taking out a creature by sacking some chumpblocker beats chumping with it for sure!

[@richardjhonatanfelicio8025]

I ‘ m a Bolsa do Infinito player. Thanks for video .

[@adampilarski7083]

It doesn’t even matter if he makes the cut or does anything - it’s just endlessly cool that you took Yawgmoth as a legit card.

[@brandonsims2096]

Red looked fairly open

[@KevinWyattStone]

Dark Confidant and Griselbrand is a great combo, the lifelink on Griselbrand lets you regain the life you lose drawing cards off of the Confidant!

[@Terbmagic4]

I pray this isnt a serious comment

[@OdePery]

LSV + Cubedraft =

[@pairot01]

1:07:40 what about attacking and using the K command to return a creature to your hand instead?

[@NicolaiBolas]

At 1:15:00 I think the opponent was trying to play around you drawing a counterspell. Whether or not that was correct is up for debate, but I'm guessing they did it on purpose in response to the draw.

[@deadnoobie2859]

makeshift mannequin, entomb, grisseldaddy, sneak atack.... could have had a sick reanimator package.

[@Unknownprofilegames]

LSV is recording a video and round 1 OPP still goes 10 minutes behind in time. Wizard's inability to enforce slow play rules is the greatest flaw of the game.

[@austink2598]

I'm a simple man, I see LSV, I click. Personally, I would like it if you added a webcam so we can see your reaction/face in general. Thanks for the upload

[@Amlorian]

Yeah, not delving with murderous cut for the full amount even tho its totally free was a classic beginners mistake, nice plays nonetheless! Like to see more videos from this lsv in the future. Welcome to cfb!

[@SeanHrecho]

LSV co-founded Channel Fireball. He's undoubtedly one of the best players to ever play the game. He's won more Pro Tours than you'll ever spectate.

[@Amlorian]

@@SeanHrecho Oh really? ;)

[@horseandcarteblanche64]

LSV and cube? Non-VOD? Sweeeet

[@Miracle-lg7fr]

LSV loves ending words in "rino" eg blockerino hex drinkerino murderous cutterino. I think we found out his catchphrase

[@notednuance]

I think its actually just common among magic players. I hear a bunch of them adding the "erino" to things.

[@Miracle-lg7fr]

@@notednuance Something like "snappy" "young peezy" things like that I hear a lot but "erino" is something I hear from LSV. Not saying nobody else says it but at least the people I've been around never say that (at least with me around)

[@ChannelFireball]

It gets weird when he’s ordering pepperoni.

[@notednuance]

@@Miracle-lg7fr well a fair bit of other magic content creators certainly Caleb D comes to mind... but maybe they're all just influenced by LSV

[@notednuance]

@@ChannelFireball imagine being ng Day9 he often follows up his "erino"isms with "in the pepperoni"... must be a nightmare.

[@leavinit]

Why aren't those Pirates human tho

[@Reach_W]

If I had to guess, probably because there were like five races getting in on the Pirate action on Ixalan.

[@JoaoCameloN]

Just in Vraska's crew there were at least 3 races, not counting gorgon, so I guess the art just represents one random crewmenber aboard the Belligerent

[@hydriumetern7808]

LSV: I could take this sweet fun card but I'd rather build the exact same blue deck I build almost every single draft.

[@seannissen2509]

No respect for best sword

[@newscoulomb3705]

LSV successfully constructed Moist Mardu.

[@macc.1132]

He's drafted this deck many time before. It's dull.

[@jimbobjohanssen7993]

fail for not taking and playing 2nd nicol bolas

[@utterlyj1277]

Big daddy Bolas is real bad unfortunately, just too expensive for what it does. Wish they still had 7 mana Bolas from Hour of Devastation in the Cube, that card was legit.

[@janrodriguez3200]

He didnt really have the ramp for it

[@pairot01]

I think you should have cut dark confidant, you have a bunch of 5 drops that can just kill you out of nowhere

[@wishyfishy1037]

greatness at any cost

[@Khazuki_]

"This isn't a coward stream." Worth highlighting that any deck's cmc usually hovers between 2 and 3. Don't forget nearly half of it is lands.

[@pairot01]

​@@Khazuki_ It's not only about the average, you must consider the variance. This deck has 8 cards with 4 cmc or greater (that's 3 with 4 cmc and 5 with 5 cmc), that's a whole 20% of the deck! Don't weight too much into lands costing 0 while 17 lands feels like almost half of the deck when you factor solemn and the fetchlands it actually shifts between 42.5% and 35%, not that close to half (in limited, deck thinning does come into play a lot more). All I'm saying is this deck is far from the "low to the ground blue black" LSV had in mind when he second picked Bob.

[@utterlyj1277]

@@pairot01 No, the average is the most important factor for Bob. If you hit one of your 5 drops, you take 5. So what? That's not gonna kill you out of nowhere, it's not like he's playing Emrakul or anything. Bob is excellent in this deck.

[@pairot01]

@@utterlyj1277 Let's do some math then. Let's assume you have a constant 20% chance to hit a 4+ cmc card for simplicity. That means that the chance of hitting 2 of those cards in a row is 1/25, that's better odds than drawing any exact spell in a natural draw step. Now let's add a 3rd trigger, you have a 10.4% chance of hitting at least 2 of those cards with the third one being any card (including a third of those), that's anywhere between 8 and 15 damage, I estimate the average to be a little below 12. Being aware of the lesser probable cases is key in magic, that's what let's you steal games you have less than 1% chance of winning by playing to your outs and it helps to choose the correct play when balancing consistency and explosivity.

[@Napoleon1805]

LSV, please blow your nose occasionally.

[@davidglore3007]

First?

First.
