The New MTGO Vintage Cube: Izzet Good?

I take my first foray into the MTGO Vintage Cube, and it was good times (with perhaps a brutal punt on my side...)

Since LSV went back to his roots of "no live chat" it has made all the difference in the world for me. Staying in the zone and dropping knowledge.

[@TheBlueNotebook]

LSV’s consistent banter and composure in these videos always impresses me. There are so many streamers and draft videos that struggle to keep the monologue going, or tilt off about flood/screw, and that can ruin the viewing experience in a lot of cases. I don’t even play vintage cube but these videos are a highlight every day for the past year for me, and seeing LSV’s “performance” chops continue to improve is something I don’t think many people notice, but makes all the difference. LSV was ribbing on Paul’s new channel on LR this week, how he just started his own channel and the views and sponsors started flooding in with little effort on his part, but he was really just being humble. The daily grind is one thing but these videos really have gotten miles better as they’ve gone on, and it certainly isn’t because Magic Online’s UI got any more appealing. Mad credit to LSV for the pacing and vibe of these videos.

Yeah the flow of info is so good and natural. I can listen to Lsv draft and not watch and know exactly what's going on. A pro fo sho !

[@bcZahler]

@@ripbeni6198dude wants lsv to pick Serra Paragon more I guess. 😂

[@roarmalf]

Friendly reminder that when you draft with the general populace it's completely reasonable to just force storm :D

[@kinginthenorth1437]

"Urborg helps your opponent". Nah, everytime my opponent has played Urborg against me I've been incredibly annoyed at how suddenly it's much more annoying to tap my basic lands for mana.

[@JBH2989]

The competitive pod structure of team drafts is obviously great. However, being a long term denizen of LSV vintage cube drafts makes me a sucker for the modo leagues.

[@RyanSandorRichards]

Every time LSV starts a sentence with “Look…” it’s like we the viewers have some realistic counter argument to his line of play. But most of us don’t 😂

[@turbobrew]

It’s habit from having to deal with BK

[@nobodyhere22500]

It's always weird to me to see Fire Covenant in the vintage cube. I remember when it was new, and absolutely no one cared about it. In retrospect it probably would have been just as good back then as it is now.

[@DiscardatRandom]

People overestimated the cost of life back then same with necropotence

[@notice9218]

Creatures weren't as big a deal back then in general. Covenant didn't interact with most of the powerful stuff of the time.

[@casparash5370]

Yeah haha we forget creatures used to be smol and clunker if you could have paid life to destroy or counter non creature spells or something then peeps woulda jumped on FC.

[@Kendal411]

Nice to see Dream Halls in the MO cube!😊

[@nonzeromarlin2390]

You should start a series drafting viewer submitted cubes

[@dougisacat]

I’m kinda down for this, I would love to see a buncha pros draft somebody’s janky powered cube with like meluko still chilling in the cube for some reason.

[@alfeDude]

Yes

[@jamesgreenwood1703]

This idea is god tier

[@quarkraven]

step 1. Users submit cubes step 2. LSV vets lists step 3. Curated shortlist voted on by fan base step 4. LSV & co. draft the list(s) step 5. profit

[@Kettwiesel25]

Oh I am soo in!

[@thefloppydisc9443]

The Big Score cards have really been a great addition for cube

Luis pack, Scott 'em if you Varg 'em

Why does Google try to translate this comment

[@NatePrawdzik]

Excellent job on that mull to 5.

[@PGMR30]

Yay real vintage cube is back.

[@amdadhassan7532]

It's time

[@milanfillipi5656]

In the Robber/Liliana game, is there a reason not to block the copy of the 6/6 attacking Liliana, pyrokenisis to kill it, and then minus Liliana to kill the original copy?

[@stevenashley27]

Cause pyrokinesis doesn’t destroy the tyrant without blocking?

[@teliots]

trample

[@stevenashley27]

@@teliots but the copy is a 6/6, right? So LSV is priced to block it so Pyrokinesis can kill it, since it only deals 4

[@sanninrips]

Caustic with magdha would b cute..

[@amisanthropicman]

What is the hallowed fountain for, exactly? Island gets untapped blue without pain and you have no white cards in the main deck.

[@Raustlin]

Arid Mesa

[@mulldrifterz6469]

p1p1 I think you're greatly underestimating the power of Git Probe. It goes in any deck and keeps you super open, while being very strong.

[@cesarramon4636]

[@perisr3492]

First

[@LethalPigeon7]

LSV with blue red tempo start and one splashable black card getting slapped in the face with green abundance - being handed a temur delver style deck on a silver platter solution? blinders: on grixis: gaming Wouldn't be an LSV video without it, the goof has long since become the brand.

[@LSVargas]

Green is likely the worst 3rd color for UR with this start, wild take

[@jamesobrien6133]

The fixing for grixis was there, where do you take a green card over a black card in this draft?

[@bcZahler]

I don't know what green card we saw that is better than fire covenant or even shinobi in this style of deck.

[@casparash5370]

@LethalPigeon This is the power of fire covenant bro you just got one sided wrath-ed! Your obviously a paid actor for green, everyone knows green is there as a goofy trap!

[@markkelso871]

Cube has lost it's luster for me. Too many "good card" piles instead of focused combo or whatever it used to be. First overall fire covenant 5-6 years ago is insane now it's like... Yeah of course it's great. I want broken stuff!

[@anosmianAcrimony]

TBF Fire Covenant still isn't really first-pickable - it was just a really weak pack
