It Actually Doesn't Get More Busted Than This | Vintage Cube Draft

[@jordancaldwell2208]

Opponent: *turn 3 Wurmcoil on the play* LSV: "lol"

[@kevincleveland4787]

That was the most absurd vintage cube deck I've ever seen in my life.

[@thedoctorbob7]

He had an absurd storm pile a while ago as well that was pretty sick. I saved it because it was hilarious kzbin.info/www/bejne/emSpi6lnlqyUhpo

[@joshuaallen6450]

Same, super entertaining! The draft part was my favorite. One broken card after another. 👌

[@jacobarnoldmusic]

The only other I can think of that's close is when he got dream halls, breach, brain freeze, LED, reanimate, imp seal, archon of cruelty, thassas oracle, entomb, griselbrand, atraxa, and some other crazy stuff and 6-0d the draft. Was a few months back.

[@jacobarnoldmusic]

It was this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/emSpi6lnlqyUhposi=3vigijJ-07SG4QgY

[@kevincleveland4787]

@@jacobarnoldmusic That was a sweet deck, but I think this one was a notch above. The absurd amount of power plus all the draw 7s just made it super consistent. Turn 2-4 kills everygame and doing so consistently is pretty ridiculous.

[@Fromaginator]

Other drafters: trying their best and hoping to win LSV: the 3-0, 6-0 is assured, but how few turns can I do it in?

[@Spaccaspecchi]

Other drafters: "My deck's good, let's see if I can play my way to a trophy." LSV: "I am inevitable."

[@hansoskar1911]

The worst thig about drafts like this is that they end so fast.

[@brendoncahill7096]

true, so many parts of the deck he never got to use since the games were over so fast. Atraxa #1 Cheerleader.

[@resu2026]

haha, true

[@2LettersSho]

Damn monkey paw! You get a crazy busted deck BUT you only get 19 turns with it.

[@baxman66]

00:14 Explains why Time Walk is the second best card in cube behind Sol Ring and ahead of Black Lotus. Then proceeds to manifest and draft all 3. The perfect threesome.

[@lequinow]

He’s explaining how they’re the best cards to first pick. A late pick Black Lotus will probably be better in more decks than Time Walk. Drafting all three is insane anyway.

[@JJ-Toreddie]

ménage à trois

[@Christoff070]

ahahahahaa

[@centaur4588]

once again dream halls technically did not wheel

[@robertkujawa-wc3dl]

Haha well played!

[@BalldoTM]

are u sayin that cuz he picked it first or becuz he technically did not use a "wheel" off of dream halls?

[@benlucas3151]

and the card we almost picked over it did; truly a sign.

[@centaur4588]

@alext.1244 Original Intention was because he picked it first, but the second thing happened which made it alot more fun

[@moormanjean5636]

This deck was so good LSV debated including displacer kitten and it won 90% of his games

[@chriss.9662]

LSV is out here doing bad math to get us to comment that the average turn is 3.1666 not 3.8 and get that algorithm working on his favor. This man just out played all his viewers.

[@SQN67]

hilarious 😂

[@MattRose30000]

I think that's called Godwin's Law.

[@notanetdeck5264]

“If they tap out, we have a turn 2 win!” - LSV, shortly before casting Dream Halls haha

[@renzuki5830]

Psst. We don't read that part of Dream Halls text and neither do our opponents.

[@irifhir]

Engagement

[@davidzamora8342]

Dream halls is absurd. Hey also got teferi and kitten which with any zero mana artifact goes infinite. This draft was a gift lol. I mean 15 pick Urza is hilarious.

[@qb1482]

“Spellseeker ended up being pretty bad it only gets time walk and brainfreeze.”

[@OlafKnolaf]

The best thing about first picking Time Walk is that you can follow it up with other spells to complement it like Ancestral Recall, Sol Ring and Black Lotus! :D

[@nekrataali]

I like how there was never a question about whether or not this deck would 6-0 in 3 rounds, just a question of how fast.

[@jeffe2267]

I love how "does this deck 3-0?" was never the question. instantly jumped to "can we average a turn 3 win?"

[@Joeks0303]

This is the first vintage draft I’ve seen that’s genuinely laughably good. This deck is so utterly busted and some picks like the sol ring, getting the underworld breach, or getting almost every card the deck wanted to wheel, is so absurd all I can do is laugh

[@zimsterzimster]

Took off the team draft ankle weights and dove right into the mtgo queues... this is an all-timer right here.

[@bigwig8657]

"19 divided by 5 is 3.8" Deck was strong it only needed 5 wins. It actually basically won in pi turns.

[@pidgeotroll]

@@bumpasaurus487 Yes, that in fact is what the comment you replied to was pointing out.

[@roarmalf]

This draft answers the question "What would happen if you wheeled every card you were hoping for?"

[@rjclune719]

Not so! RIP High Tide.

[@nickrzeczkowski9531]

High tide may have gotten cut

[@thonk7611]

yeah high tide would've somehow been way too slow for this deck 😂

[@rjclune719]

@thonk7611 you may honestly be right, which is just an absurd thing to say in a deck with Frantic Search, Time Spiral and primarily islands.

[@ArchibaldVonSkip]

When I saw mono Red in round 3 I thought to myself: "how cute; that's way too slow".

[@G.Aaron.Fisher]

57:15 "If they tap out, this is a turn 2 win." says LSV as he's about to cast a Dream Halls. 🤪 The excitement is contagious, even if we're forgetting that Dream Halls is symmetric.

[@ninjanoodle2674]

Drafting and Deck Construction - 30 minutes Playing six games and obliterating your opponents in only 19 turns - 30 minutes Efficiency and consistency... I like it.

[@jrjamesson]

"kitten the mana vault" lord this deck is wild, one of my favorites I have ever seen. those poor wurmcoils.

[@ultrasuperkiller]

LSV i've been saying that the power 9 archetype is the most OP one in the cube but you've never listened to me and drafted a deck like that. Finally you did!

[@codetaku]

You miscalculated your average kill, there were 6 games, so your average turn kill was 3.167 (3.1666continued, 19/6 whereas you calculated 19/5 for 3.8), crazy impressive especially considering THREE of those games were mulligans

[@sqrlmonger]

Came to say this - You can't win 3 Bo3 matches with only 5 game wins =)

absolutely insane deck and draft! But why 19 divided by 5 for your average win? I think it was 19 divided by 6 games = average kill on turn 3,166666? Insane!

[@PhoenixLance13]

This draft is why they call him "Luis 'He can indeed keep getting away with it' Scott-Vargas"

[@dvader831]

“These are the top 3 cards in Cube” The teacher speaks and the game listens and allows! 😂

[@wynrussell4105]

Peak magic. I think this supplants the Mono Black Reanimator Storm deck as the most busted I've seen you draft. Spectacular. Also loving the daily uploads! You inspired me to Proxy up a 540 Vintage cube, hoping to jam at my LGS

[@baxman66]

just like daVinci, Picasso and van Gogh before him, LSV is truly a master of his craft

[@ruthpol]

What an insane deck! Great piloting, I can't fathom how fast you see which way you can go infinite on any given hand

[@GeorgieZaccour]

This has to be the best vintage cube deck ever drafted right

[@tdfowler79]

It probably is, but he had one a few months back that was pretty insane, I think it was reanimate with a bunch of win conditions and tutors and counters. I’d love to see those decks head to head. I’d put my money on this deck, but that deck was was really resilient.

[@andreabaj5529]

@@tdfowler79yeah, that was probably the other best one I’ve ever seen among the drafters I follow. It was pretty much full power black storm and Reanimator together

[@Kumagoro42]

It's not for everyone, though. You need to be One with Storm like Luis to be able to effortlessly make all the correct decisions every time. Remember this is the man who won games with a storm deck that had no win condition.

[@pi05jg1]

@@tdfowler79 what was the title of that video?

[@Damzified]

@@pi05jg1 It was posted on May 25th on Channel Fireball's YT under the name "LSV's Best Vintage Cube Deck Yet!". I think I preferred it to this one, though both were insane :)

[@MillaTK]

That was absolutely ridiculous. Thank you so much for bringing this content to us. I am absolutely loving the vintage cube videos, you are really spoiling us.

[@MarkChalice]

This definitely was a fun one, I don't remember seeing time walk, lotus, and sol ring in the same deck in vintage cube before. That pause from the monored opp in the last game makes me wonder if they had an instant piece of removal and forgot that dream halls is symmetric. In the past sol ring has edged out lotus as the overall p1p1, not in this iteration of the cube, imo (and this cube iteration is much improved as well) Overall top cards in vintage cube now are 1. Black Lotus, 2&3.-TIE- time walk and sol ring. In particular the Displacer Kitten + Tamiyo loops were neat. Thanks Luis!

[@UCKSpree]

Wowawewah! This deck is the best you've ever drafted, hands down. Absolutely outlandish, you're most of the way there to a constructed-cube deck, haha.

[@emperornapoleon6204]

Now this was a thing of beauty - a masterpiece if I’ve ever seen one. What a spectacular showing!!

[@Zii_Vii]

I just love how your opponents are over here playing arbor elf and accelerating into wormcoil engines and your over there like 'so anyway I started blastin' as you do the most busted shit possible with 10 different infinite combos and say "I dont even know what their playing"😂😂

[@dementievatz]

It’s such a good honest dig too. I’m like “those decks are what my Cube decks look like!” Although I’m floored at how little interaction he ran into.

[@leanderthal1138]

15th pick urza is more crazy than lotus ring time walk lmao

[@charmandenator5686]

Yeah like... how? How does no one pick Urza

[@stevenpippin6079]

I don't swear a lot, but I shouted actual "WTF?" when the last pick urza showed up on screen.

[@guitarolm]

I wish the opponents did more than tap out for Wurmcoil Engine LOL

[@dementievatz]

I agree. I think LSV still wins most of the time, but with practically zero interaction in his deck, I would have loved to see how he navigated against a Dauthi Voidwalker, Thalia, or some counterspells.

[@7deuc2e38]

Wow LSV actually getting a Dream Halls is more miraculous than opening lotus/time walk + being passed sol ring

[@pauldaulby260]

Already better than "the best one yet" you love to see it

[@Entropic_Alloy]

[@NathanCrandall-y8o]

Speed running vintage cube!! Wildly entertaining draft thanks LSV!

[@arpacoo]

Apologies if you do notice that throughout the video, but on minute10, cant avoid adding that Displacer kitten+Tamiyo+Time walk seems to be infinite turns Added: truly loved the echo of eons mulligan. I was almost hearing you say, after they went forest llanowar and you said they got to redraw, "this deck's average 7 beats most 9s", and "if I draw land I get to play it before echoing so I'm over 50% (17/33) to have mulliganed into an 8-card hand".

[@ZelCoMNight]

Also I believe Teferi, time raveler+ displacer kitten+ any 0 drop is infinite card draw!

[@eitansoussan8158]

And with sol ring infinite mana too

[@jerzysikorski4846]

What a draft! Thanks for this masterpiece. I believe this one will age pretty well.

Imagine getting passed sol ring when you already have black lotus and time walk so you know they didn't take those. What did they take, ancestral? Mox ruby when they're playing mono red?

[@rekenner]

​@@matthewwhiteside4619Pearl and Ruby in their respective mono color decks are arguably better, yeah. Ancestral... we know that no one else in the pod had Spellseeker, and so maybe someone took Ancestral over Sol Ring because they had Snapcaster, but I think that's wrong

19/6... not sure why we are dividing by 5. Average win was turn 3.17, or simply turn 3. One of those turn 3 wins was on a mulligan to 5. The turn 1 LED into Echoes flashback win was great.

[@HokeyPokey243]

Decks like these are why I regularly tune in.

[@microwaveme1]

So with Lotus and Time walk already drafted does anyone have any guesses what was opened in pack 3 that convinced someone to pass Sol Ring? Like its better than a mox right?

Another comment theorized that a red or white mox may be better than Sol Ring in their respective aggro decks.
