LSV Gets Brazen in a Vintage Cube Draft

[@kerj8580]

Is anybody finding an issue with the video lagging behind the audio by almost a full second?

[@chronoflect]

Yeah, I've noticed that on all of LSV's recent videos to this channel.

[@asherfeldman6650]

Me too. Though it’s better than it could be. I remember a Reid Duke video where the audio was about an hour behind the video... 😂😂😂

[@radaghastcg]

yep...

[@kerj8580]

All I'm saying is it would be nice to see audio and video in sync. It's not minute; it's annoying honestly. (I know LSV does not intend to do this purposefully, let alone anyone on the CFB Team.)

[@jrjamesson]

yes and it seemed to get worse the longer the video went, but maybe that's just me

[@CBlastoise]

One thing that always impresses me when I watch LSV play any format, is his ability to instantly find the "worst case scenario" like the toughest set of cards his opponent could have.

[@Zarth82]

Just wanna say that I respect that you justified your picks, but I love watching your content and the channel as a whole because of the knowledge you guys bring to every video. I've learned so much about how to draft from these videos, and as with any draft format, there WILL be archetypes that come together more frequently and are all around better. Keep up the great work, you guys have been putting out quality content like crazy and I've been loving it!

[@ChannelFireball]

Appreciate the kind words!

[@lucafasoli7017]

Hey, i was your round 1 opponent. If i recall correctly i was mono green and boarded into blue to have some card advantage, even though i wasn't really confident about the ancestral vision i added in game 3. The elf + tracker attack into venser, though...that was kinda embarassing! I tunnel vision'd thinking about mana drain and completely forgot about Venser. ggs

your deck was sweet too! Great match to watch.

I love watching LSV's draft videos, my only criticism is the delay. It isn't enough to make me not watch but its sometimes annoying when something cool happens and I hear his reaction before seeing what actually happened.

Man, the way you build the decks and explain your thought proces, is really impressive and makes it so fun to watch as a cube noob like me. Though I am a Legacy player, but still..

[@argenmendon2661]

a big reason blue is in most cube decks is because it is a splash color. the other 4 colors got some kind of identity and arcetype that is mono colored green:ramp red: burn white: white weenie black: combo(reanimator/storm) but blue don't have that, the closest archetype identity blue has is control. but you rarely see mono blue control, while the other 4 monocolor archetypes show up a fair bit. but when you look at 2 color the most common archetypes are all blue U/R:2 card combo(twin/breach) U/W: control U/B: storm U/G: big value while the non blue 2 color barely have anything so to say that almost all decks ends up blue is not a bad thing, and not the thing to focus on. rather then looking at each color drafted, it is the color combinations that should be looked at

[@jonathanrfisher]

Is the audio ever off a bit for others? Like LSV knows what he’s drawing before he draws it.

[@ArianJafariTheMagnificent]

Yeah, it's been the case for most videos lately, which is a bit of a shame given how great they are otherwise.

You really need to fix that Audio :) The Audio is like 1-2 sec ahead of the video

[@k0olmini11]

Despite how much I think drafting blue is stale, I like that you actually address and justify a common comment that most people post. While I do agree every blue deck does no play out the same way some of the picks become stagnant. Snapcaster, JTMS, Mana drain, Mulldrifter, Mystic confluence, Cryptic command, counterspell. Those are only a few examples of the “it got passed to me, now I’m playing blue”

Oko better, worse or about equal to dack?

[@NormalTheBand]

P1p1 Oko. Dack is a great card advantage engine and the upside of stealing mox is awesome but nothing dominates the board like Oko.

[@swiftdragonrider]

Way way way better. Oko is almost nuts.

[@helderboymh]

@@swiftdragonrider yeah I think this shows that pretty well. Interesting as dack always seemed like one of the best (still is ) and even such oko is still probably a league above .

[@swiftdragonrider]

@@helderboymh oko is the best plainswaker ever printed and I don't think it is close.

[@LucianDevine]

Pretty hard to argue with this draft and it's results. P1P1 Counterspell because there are no other first pickable cards in the pack, and go from there. Deck was comparatively fair compared to many, but goddam was it good and consistent. Not many decks could recover from basically throwing away a Fatal Push and an Oko against a good Boros draw.

[@Iluvatar50]

Why do you say "They" to your Opponent? Im from Germany....

[@2LettersSho]

In English "they" can mean one person, not always many people. The reason to call an opponent "they" online is because we do not know their gender so saying "his" or "her" is not assuredly correct. You will sometimes also see LSV and others saying "he" or "she" if they know who their opponent is BUT will often still say "they" because an opponent is an opponent, the gender of the player does not matter to the game. EDIT: We also don't know for sure whether the opponent is just one person, it could be three people sitting around the computer while streaming to a bunch of other people in their twitch chat so using "they" works for that case too.
