Five Fetches For Five Colors | Vintage Cube Draft

[@RamyASMR]

Luis, I don‘t know if words like the following even mean anything to you anymore as you probably have heard those hundreds of times. You improve my life quality with your daily videos. As someone chronically struggling with depression, having those quiet minutes just watching your drafts and forgetting about everything around me for even a short period of time really helps to recollect and calm down. From the bottom of my heart: Thank you!

[@rjclune719]

It gets better, man. I can't tell you how long it will take or how many hurdles you'll need to hop before it happens, but it does get better. In the meantime... there are worse coping mechanisms than LSV cube videos 😂

[@meekrab9027]

We're all pulling for you

[@davidvachon6443]

Hang in there friend 🙏

[@JEstey10000]

I really respect the way that in Round 1, [spoilers!] LSV comes within a couple priority passes of a quick 2-0 win, only to end up losing to a less experienced opponent with a basic mono-red deck... and then he just chuckles, shrugs, and cheerfully moves on to round 2. No complaining, no putting down his opponent, no excuses; he just moves on to the next match. MtG can be a frustrating game with a lot of variance, and KZbin is a place where salt often rains from the sky, but it's the sign of a real pro - and, frankly, of a real adult - to earnestly play to every out and search for every sliver of equity in a game, lose anyway, and just accept the reality of bad beats in time to enjoy the next one!

[@jeffreyculbert2093]

One of a multitude of reasons why watching Luis play magic for the last 20 something years has been a pleasure.

[@DrMonty-ng5fo]

This deck looks like you were trying to draft a Lurrus deck. Every card in your deck fit under Lurrus's restriction! Lol

[@Zavendea]

it’s like LSV says - Lurrus is good because it forces you to play good cards, lol

[@ericfaulk2204]

LSV is more excited about getting Fireblasted with the win on the stack than about winning a draft. Love to see it.

[@superdrunkdnb]

Who else thinks it would be fun to see them play an older version of the cube? Like 2015 or so?

[@siegeryno8272]

Seeing that Mind Sculpter going around pack 9 or 10 still messes my head up. Was a routine ez first pick in that 2015 era, it would be fun to see that.

[@superdrunkdnb]

@@siegeryno8272 Exactly 😅

[@settogvoid9407]

LSV always emphasizes how good free spells are. That first match was like a case study on why they're good.

[@peterklarskov1620]

What's the portent rant?

[@dementievatz]

Oh yeah! I want to hear it too!

[@sjake8308]

I guess we'll just have to look forward to that one, though it'll probably be something along the lines of it being an old card with templating that's both weird and bad.

[@kithkindeck]

Watching you draft with randos after the discord drafts filled with amazing players is like watching The Undertaker beat up fourth graders.

[@nthnthms1212]

Never change, Fireblast

[@GPEGEMGTM3]

It’s that time again! ❤

[@LucianDevine]

Match 1 was wild!

[@jccusell]

25:30 basically came up with the solution that game with most chance to win (2 cards in hand opp chance on a burn spell for bowmasters vs 7 cards in hand oppo for burn spell after wheel)

[@heyho4488]

invigorate is such a nice edition, glad you like it

[@memyself3510]

45:00 I was one of the people dropping seige rhinos left and right😅

[@painterdubs]

BK is rubbing off on LSV with the fetch and fixing love.

[@johnnyp8867]

You should make some merch. “That’s just a busted card I suppose.” Slap that on a shirt and I’m buyin!

[@LTJZamboni]

Man that deck wants Lurrus so bad

[@MatthewForsytheHi]

This deck was already sick, but this would be the actual most nutted Lurrus deck.

[@latinkingzgl]

Watching LSV play cube is akin to watching Van Gogh create timeless masterpieces

[@matias.salimbene]

G1P1 why not chump to save some life instead of going down to 2 and “hope” the don’t have burn?

[@ultimateo621]

You can still use the beta draftmancer server. I vastly prefer the team drafts to the Mtgo drafts.

[@maxrebuschatis5603]

27:00 why can't you cast Phantom Interference off Noble to counter the Fireblast? What am I missing?

[@sjake8308]

It costs 1U to cast using the Miscalculation mode.

[@Eastsiderock]

Love the vids LSV, just started drafting Vintage Cube, fun stuff! Noob question: While drafting, I don't seem to be able to drag and drop the cards where I want like you do - they are all ordered by either CMC or Color or whatever default option MTGO has. If I drag drop them in the middle of the table, they just sticky back to the first columns.

[@Bucketfriend]

I need to know what was edited out at dismember still being in the pack 4:52

[@Vermilio893]

Sweet deck, but halfling looks a bit dubious to me. Basically only taps for colourless in a 4c deck with tough mana requirements, and it's more so on the splash to boot. I would have probably played lazav instead, I think that card is amazing especially in the grixis removal pile

[@benbreslow8910]

tragic that lurrus never showed up this draft

[@j12601]

Dark Jeskai? We all know it was really called Moist Mardu.

[@miraculousjones]

Why is delighted halfling good in this deck?

[@SantaCatcher9000]

I had a deck on MTGO the other day with 17 non basic lands, ppl have not been taking fetch lands like they should

[@dementievatz]

Signed. I’ve had 5-color decks like that. I’ve also had Boros decks with 5+ WR sources.

[@JamiesonLock]

You can block with creatures that weren't creatures when Scarlet's trigger resolves, right? Could avoid going to 2 by blocking with the Copter? I'm not 100%, but I think her ability only applies to creatures you have at the time. Again, not completely sure.

[@rissolepower]

No, Scarlett targets a player

[@JamiesonLock]

@@rissolepower But static effects like 'creatures target player controls get -1/-1 until end of turn' don't affect creatures they play later, so Scarlet also shouldn't.

[@sjake8308]

@@JamiesonLock The ability is worded: "When Headliner Scarlett enters the battlefield, creatures target player controls can't block this turn.". I really don't think it can be any clearer than that.

[@JamiesonLock]

@@sjake8308 Which is exactly the same wording as I mentioned (something like Sudden Spoiling) and that specifically doesn't affect creatures that enter the battlefield later in the turn.

[@amirashika]

Perfect mana Grixis deck? Deathrite Shaman died because of this

[@trenoxspa]

Love the vids! I think the last game when you played toxic you had lethal with chain lighting on a 2/2 and the treasure cruise / bow master the rest and hit for lethal. or am I missing something?

[@colwanthewizard]

treasure cruise doesn't target, it just draws cards.

[@trenoxspa]

@@colwanthewizard Ah ofcourse. I knew i missed something. Cheers!

[@Joshuralize]

Our exposure to your discord drafts really puts just how bad the leagues are in comparison lol

[@lordmatz3435]

what a coincidence huh?

[@r2dezki]

We built the best Lurrus deck without Lurrus.

[@jeffreyculbert2093]

Jeez, pick 10 dismember. Gotta say it’s a lot less exciting to watch the MtGO drafts. The quality of opponents is just so much lower and I really prefer the cube club’s feeling of being on the rails watching the final rounds of a PT.

[@cesarramon4636]

.

[@maxonge95]

double bayou in the draft 54:18 huh?!

[@Cthuski]

It's mtgo, you rarely play people who were in your draft pod

[@atriusfox]

It's league on MTGO? Why is that surprising?

[@Laevateinn-]

Siding in Arwen and a plains has cost you the 3rd game of R1. Please never do such a thing ever again

[@maxfitzer7235]

Love your videos, but pretty bored of cube drafts. I assume you do it because it generates the most views, but these decks are getting pretty boring. Would be cool if you played other formats.

[@JJLim-v4w]

Good thing you’re in the minority. As can be seen from the views.

[@jeffreyculbert2093]

I see LSV draft video, I watch LSV draft video. Irrespective of format. Though he does play other formats from time to time, especially when he’s prepping for a pro event, and while I enjoy those videos a little less I still like them because LSV drafts are the best drafts.

[@GSheff]

ChannelFireball posts LSV playing other formats.

[@lordmatz3435]

what a wild take

[@samgarcia9643]

Gets views, and the cool part about it is that it’s repeatable content that is different each time, especially as cards get added and removed. Sorry you feel bored with it, but the numbers and frequency of it says that many don’t feel the same. I do recommend CFB for some more non-cube videos.
