Boros Tokens Tries To Curve Out

[@RyanSandorRichards]

“The squeaky wheel gets the grease.” Possibly the best power complaint justification you had yet 😂

[@TrueNephyte]

"This is awkward" What a perfect LSV moment.

[@Vuurgeest]

19:09 My old player brain felt a Mystic Snake coming when opponent tapped 4 mana with GUU up. I think that was even a good cube card back in the day.

[@naphackDT]

The problem with the card isn't even the power level. From pure power considerations, it would probably do fine in some decks. The problem with the card is that it just got way too heavy color requirement for the level of power it brings to the table. The cross section of decks that want it is just too narrow. Back in the day it was fine if you could only cast it turn 5 or 6. Nowadays you NEED to have perfect UG mana if you want to play the snake in your cube deck.

[@nykollasnunes810]

6:08 "the squeaky wheel gets the grease" If BK was here that would be a "what the hell are you talking about!?" moment for sure

[@nsmith131]

It's a very common phrase and that's basically the exact way people use it normally.

[@Junglej0hn]

I think he would get it. I have never heard it before and I understood what it means

[@nykollasnunes810]

Folks it's not that he wouldn't get the meaning, or that the phrase is unusual, it's just that he frequently points out when LSV is seemingly negotiating his luck with some unknown forces like they can respond or react to his actions.

[@sanctuarygaming4984]

ok, im finally saying it. stone forge mystic seems way too undervalued by EVERYONE. Every time I see it played it seems to win the game, and LSV passes it while in white! He lets it table when he knows someone has Kaldra and he could actually make a decent (albeit mostly side board) use of it. I don't know, just seems very powerful in cube imo

[@eq.8640]

Turn 2 stoneforge with a kaldra in the deck can win games very often in my experience

[@wesleykorisky8600]

Stoneforge is only as powerful as what it gets. Kaldra being the card, batterskull the close second. Miss on both and stoney isn't nearly as good.

[@Slimpster520]

@@wesleykorisky8600i don’t know if batterskull is actually a close second. Every time someone plays batterskull I still seem to win against them, kaldra not so much.

[@daytimerocker3808]

stoneforge is also sweet when u have kaldra in hand and u fetch a glimmerlens or something and they attack into u putting the kaldra into play

[@eq.8640]

@@Slimpster520 Batterskull is not close Kaldra is WAY better and stoneforge is not strong if the only tutor target is batterskull Kaldra is busted

[@graemetang4173]

5:38 That was the best-timed Ruby I've ever seen

[@larryjennings1946]

Turkey and hamandcheese, sounds like LSV is part of some sort of club...

[@you_tube_andy]

It's there any consideration to spec on the kaldra compleat in the pack you took the LED from in case of stoneforge (unless I didn't notice stoneforge was already gone)? You didn't even mention it as a possibility. *edit* Stoneforge did show up and you mentioned not taking kaldra so you didn't overlook it as I suspected.

[@Saebyeok2015]

LSV and complaining about not opening power, truly a match made in heaven

[@wesleykorisky8600]

Me when the ruby is shown: he complains as he opens power Lsv: ya see that's the key, squeaky wheel gets the oil. Me later tonight at cube night: man I never open power! -has opened sol ring in his last three power cube drafts -

[@sqrlmonger]

33:26 - He can't keep getting away with it.

[@paulallison3974]

pretty sure the mac check ins should have the scroll of 'deck I wish I were playing' :)

[@paulallison3974]

but I feel the same :) and support this content

[@MasterworkLeathercraft]

It's a shame that you never open power, because a Mox Ruby would have been perfect

[@pauldaulby260]

The squeaky wheel gets the grease 😂😂

[@BegravelseinBrussels]

5:56...so good.

[@thatguywastakenagain]

you mean... so awkward

[@wacco4932]

Turning dudes sideways is the worst part of magic, but that Mox start was pretty sweet

[@marknicklason]

Today in LSV, Inti carries mox ruby to the win!

[@MqToxicninja]

is the ajani vs phlage pick close?

[@dementievatz]

I think it’s pretty close when you’re already WR, but I do think Ajani is better, in addition to being cheaper and easier to cast.

[@juani.2223]

Heyo Luis! Are you playing next month in Chicago?!

[@bevrosity]

you can tell sandy isn't playing 😆 i dont think ive ever seen an archetype so open!

[@LucianDevine]

Totally should have included "making a sandwich" in the title of the video!

[@Atlentys]

we can't read the card cause your head is on top of them when you highlight tou should put your head screen at the bottom right

[@vanwright7821]

Lunch time

[@BuffaloPicture]

Oh no

[@kyleucf]

I wish you guys would play the mtgo cube so it’s more relatable.

[@matthewbuchwald470]

The minsc and boo pass was questionable here

[@jonsalvadori6275]

No, it's a team draft and he's pretty sure oppo is not on RG. Team drafts have some next level considerations vs a regular pod

[@jorism244]

First

[@everythingmainecooncat4938]

still annoys me that choosing isn't considered targeting in MTG

[@jonsalvadori6275]

It's weird, right? But I think they realized they needed a way to deal with TNN. That thing was so freakin stupid at first. I mean, I doubt that's the ONLY reason Council's Judgement exists, but seriously, True Name was just the most feels-bad of feels-bad cards for quite awhile.

[@scarletunscripted]

someone needs to cut Guardian Scale Lord from the cube, replace it with Ranger Captain or Avycyn or Arch Angle of Tides

[@DiscardatRandom]

Scale lord is better than all of those even though I agree it should be cut

[@brianh5844]

@@DiscardatRandom I think Avacyn is a bit better because it has an immediate impact on the board and can be played alongside counterspells, but yeah she's not amazing either.

[@DiscardatRandom]

@ scale lord also immediately effects the board with backup and is single pip

[@DiscardatRandom]

@ white’s 5 drops just kinda suck

[@brianh5844]

@@DiscardatRandom It's conditional on having something in play to attack with and something in the yard to bring back. Quite often it comes down and just puts the counter on itself and then needs to live a turn. Avacyn at least is flash, so you don't have to commit to something sorcery speed and get blown out, and its only real condition is that your opponent attacks with a 3/3 or smaller creature or that you have creatures in play and can counter a removal spell or wrath. I mean this is not a hill I would die on but I do think it's a bit stronger and it's a card I'm happier to have in my decks if I need a bit more beef. The ceiling for scalelord is definitely higher though.
