This deck was a treat - multiple power, great mana, and some sweet cards to tie it all together.

LSV's Simple Guide to Opening Power: Step 1: Be LSV. If you arent lucky enough to be born LSV, proceed to next step Step 2: Ask for Power Nicely (tip: be specific) Step 3: If the first two steps didnt work, complain, passive-aggressively, at the Universe for making you unlucky.

Super cool to see that the Domain package fits well in vintage cube. It was somewhat controversial when it was first added to the MTGO cube, but giving 5 color goodstuff an aggressive plan has actually been really powerful, and is a cool way to reward drafting a deck that requires a fair level of skill on the drafting side of things.

I think most of us missed how similar it is to fetching an untapped land and casting consider. The fact that you don’t need the consider though is crazy.

Whoa-ho-ho! Alrighty well I'm slamming Hullbreacher. Look, it works great with Black Lotus. This is such a great Black Lotus deck. Overall weak pack though, passing to Sandydog, who I expect will take the Esper Sentinel. This deck looks awesome already. Could always do with more Power, though.

Why not let Kozilek attack before you kill it so you could sac a bunch of lands and make a pile of 5/3s to attack for lethal the next turn?

Question. Why bitter triumph the kozilek? Why no allow thr kozilek to attack and sacrifice 4 lands for 4 elementals? You can block kozilek with one, and save the bitter triumph to remove the blockers and kill him on the crackback. What am I missing?

Currently at deck building: how many times do I think Fastbond will be yet another dead draw? I am currently betting it will be a useful draw exactly once.

@bricelory9534 2 ай бұрын

Lol even when he played it, it did nothing. I really feel like both Oracle and Fastbond have been subpar for quite a few times I've seen LSV play them recently.

@Sidnv 2 ай бұрын

@@bricelory9534 Yeah I agree. I think it still has a place in the cube because the crucible zuran orb or strip mine combo is insane, but it feels really medicore in a normal deck.

@dementievatz 2 ай бұрын

Fastbond is just so much of what VC is about. Even if you don’t have Zuran Orb combo, sometimes you can Ramunap+fetch land to get all the lands out of your deck, or just stumble into casting a 4-drop on turn 1. It’s really nice with wheels too. I think it might not be a consistent winner, but it’s a lot of fun and looks super busted when it works.

@bricelory9534 2 ай бұрын

@@dementievatz the thing is, even in the best suited decks it is unreliable: Fastbond works very poorly with redundancies, like Exploration , etc. - and you're less likely to want to tutor for it compared to other combos. So it is at its best in decks that see lots of cards (draw 7s, etc.) and this one didn't seem like it had nearly the support for it, because this really only had Ancestral for good card draw to both find Fastbond and the extra lands to play AND the payoff for having a lot of mana. But even when it is a deck well suited for it, it is unreliable and shaky unless you get the perfect opening mix of Fastbond, lands, and payoff spells. Too often, I've seen LSV play the Draw 7 deck with Fastbond and either hope to find Fastbond, the lands, or the payoff while sitting around not doing much of anything. There are so many situations when drawn that Fastbond is an absolute dud. I get that especially LSV's cube is set up to facilitate the niche combos and weird interactions that mean a card will only be useful to one type of deck - but considering we also have things like Consultation-Oracle and other massive niche effects, it feels like most of the time, Fastbond requires a lot more hoops to jump through for too little payoff these days. Especially as creatures are becoming more relevant with LSV including more initiative cards (and that creatures are are just getting better). When one of your combo pieces is a 4 mana 2/2, it all might just be too slow. Don't get me wrong, I think it's okay to keep in the Cube (as it might even be nearly sacrilegious to cut it!), but from the last number of months I've watched, it seems LSV tries to shoe-horn it into decks where it doesn't really do much and is too often a dead card. And personally, I think the decks it does shine in are often unreliable if they're depending on the combo. If it's free, it's worth spec'ing on, but I think it is far from certain. Unfortunately, I just haven't seen the Lands packages do too hot these days in LSV's drafts.

@turbobrew 2 ай бұрын

Pretty sure you had a much better chance winning by letting the kozilek swing at you, you sacc 4 lands to annihilator, create 4 5/3s, and then triumph the kozilek, which leaves you with 30 power on the board. Even if they counter triumph you can chump kozilek and have 25 power which is still lethal.

Lutri doesn’t work well with converge cards like prismatic ending, although the copy can kill a mox jet. While stuff like modes and value of x is copied when a spell is copied, the amount and type of mana used to cast a spell is not a copyable value
