This card was too 'weak' for Cube... Then I Went Undefeated With It

[@fel293]

First pick mana tithe. Thats why we love him. Thats why we adore him

[@Obimahn]

my first thought "first pick mana tithe, never change Caleb"

[@nickwong3919]

headcanon is tithe returning because of caleb

[@ahunter7563]

I don't even rhink it's that much of a headcannon ; caleb got his cube added to mtgo before,so it's not like he's completly unknown,he and is a very devout fanatic of mana tithe

[@Frostgiantbutsmall]

All cubes spawns one when he plays it

[@CalebGannon]

I convinced my local play group to add both mana tithe and force spike to their cube, so there is some truth to that

[@quarkraven]

​@@CalebGannonmental misstep to me is more the spiritual sister in blue. even though force spike is the same effect exactly, misstep has the unexpected "gotcha!" that is akin to having 1 white untapped, vs having 1 blue up.

[@SomeSlushies]

@@ahunter7563+ recently returning to yt and talking about how he appreciated Mana Tithe in a recent video, I could see the possibility

[@josephmadre238]

Caleb finally took the Karakas! 😂

[@ultimateo621]

Thank you for taking the Karakas Caleb.

[@phithinker02]

That Mana Tithe into the Snuff Out was goddamn beautiful.

[@analog_caveman]

In this house we believe in Tithe!

[@cleoh3]

I'm only halfway through so you might have figured this out, but kitten + teferi + mana vault is infinite colorless mana *and* infinite card draw, which will draw you into your mox diamond which can generate colored mana using the same combo for each card in deck and land in hand. Fun stuff!

[@CalebGannon]

Yeah if kitten did something with more cards in our deck besides that I would probably run it

[@mehseenbetter]

kitten is a nonbo with mox diamond, it goes directly to graveyard without letting you make mana if you can't discard a land

[@cleoh3]

@mehseenbetter but if you've drawn most of your deck you probably have some lands to discard

[@mehseenbetter]

@cleoh3 thats true, one hopes you can win with your deck in your hand and like 19 mana of any color

[@koboldgeorge2140]

He literally said that combo during the draft lol 🤣

[@piet_501]

3:04 overlord of the mistburn make 2 2/1 fliers not 1/1 fliers. That's already 4 power in the air on 2 bodies

[@jphorn1223]

also great to blink with displacer cat

[@tbuckland13]

Is it possible in the last round to have let Thalia deal first strike damage, then ninjutsu in the Fallen Shinobi before regular damage? Only two more damage but Magic is a game of fine lines! 1:01:36

[@socalacura1338]

Rule 510.4 says absolutely!

[@CalebGannon]

Wait for real? That's nuts, and very good to know

[@johnsanko4136]

I agree that Mana Tithe punches above its weight. Most people are trained to recognize open blue mana as holding up counter magic, but not a single white mana. It catches people by surprise in a way something like Spell Snare doesn't.

[@daltonbrasier5491]

I played it in modern bogles and the amount of people that almost flipped the table was amazing.

[@shavedata5436]

Karakas and mana tithe is a match made in heaven 😍

[@patrickcreamer6791]

Steel Seraph already has flying; you could give it vigilance or lifelink instead 37:35

[@markj9109]

I was saying the same thing when I saw this lol

[@Holden_Prio]

Not picking the T3feri was wild to me. You already had Kitten and Vault.. you just draw your whole deck right? (Edit - you then took it and realized it hahahah thank god)

[@AoE_Freak]

Why does everyone call it "Sink into THE Stupor" when there's no "the" in the name? I guess I don’t watch many magic youtubers, so it could just be the three of y'all I watch... but it still makes me double check the name of the card every time! Also I LOVE your vintage cube draft vids!

[@dondo3384]

"And I get a draw step, this deck is crazy!" might have been the hardest i ever laughed watching somebody play Magic

[@PQTVevo]

When we needed him most, he returned

[@Pintyhet]

I’ve said it before but the best part of Mana Tithe is the sound your opponent makes when you get them with it. Like painful groan. Magnificent.

[@njsification]

I love that Caleb also says Sink into THE Stupor

[@ZeroIsEven]

I once saw mana tithe stop an intergalactic war

[@shavedata5436]

Mana tithe saved me from a burning building

[@seangerrity9217]

The old P1P1 tithe.... it's a bold strategy Caleb!

[@DeepNerf]

This is easily the most Caleb Gannon thing that has ever Caleb Gannoned in the last 13.8 billion years. 12/10 no notes.

[@julianlastname5730]

This is one of the most dangerous dark confidants I’ve ever seen, this deck rocks

[@Betex9s]

Big green was SO OPEN this draft oml

[@worryjspverybadatd2125]

Blinking or reanimating prototype cards always brings in the big version. The prototype is an alternate cast

[@thestralspirit]

displacer kitten is also good with steel seraph. I mainly just love that card, so I am sad to see it miss the cut.

[@DrDifra]

51 minutes of waiting was oh so worth for that mana tithe

[@beardedwendigo5291]

I'm glad you're posting cube content again! For future content it would (on a personal level) be nice if the title didn't spoil the end result of the video. Kinda makes watching the matches less exciting knowing you're going to win lol

[@CalebGannon]

I definitely agree with you and wish I could, but unfortunately the KZbin algorithm rewards this type of title much more than something more generic or spoiler free. This was my best performing thumbnail/title by a large margin of my recent posts.

[@Kaslay]

you have been obsessed with displacer kitten recently and I LOVE IT

[@dudeguy3173]

Love that you are back.

[@myceliumbug]

51:13 it happen, it always happen and we lov it

The sphinx with prototype already fly, so it's better to give it vigilance or lifelink.

[@worschtebrot]

Clean af. Mana Tithe is the best now.

[@attackkataka6599]

The virgin force spike, the chad mana tithe

[@ForFutureUse]

I could be wrong, but I don't think Caleb was too mad during this draft.

[@Charwhale]

love it, great job!

[@slay-thoven1357]

1st pick mana tithe, wheel t3feri, go undefeated. This man can see into the matrix😂

[@BeinThatGuy]

That was the best pack one pick one of all time.

Can anyone explain what the 3rd piece is that makes manifold key + grim monolith infinite in the cube? I'm not seeing the loop.

[@ya_tsu]

Epic mana tithe moments

[@icarryaknife8933]

You actually skipped over two wincons for the Teferi/Kitten loops. You can either draw your entire deck and then cast Thassa's Oracle to win, or, if you had taken Sorin in your second to last pick, you can extort the opponent to death by looping mana vault and the talisman. Haven't watched the gameplay yet, but you can also draw them out with the Faerie Mastermind.

[@CalebGannon]

We shouldn't really need a wincon if we're drawing our deck and getting a ton of mana. We don't want to add dead draws into the deck

[@icarryaknife8933]

@@CalebGannon true true. I primarily play Commander so I tend to approach things from that end of the spectrum where you tend to need to rely more heavily on those kinds of combo wins.

49:52 You could -2 the Kaito (it is a creature so doesn't die) on the Kavu. Then, attack with it to get in damage, pick it up with Karakas, replay it and tick down on the Bloodbraid Challenger. Would've been a sick line!

[@CalebGannon]

I'm pretty sure planeswalkers also have the ability that they die when 0 loyalty, regardless of whether they are a creature or not

[@Dragostorm21]

​@@CalebGannonI might be mistaken but Kaito isn't a planeswalker during your turn

[@CalebGannon]

@@Dragostorm21 he has planeswalker abilities though, and nothing says he wouldn't be a planeswalker

[@MaskedTai]

@@CalebGannon The ability line on Kaito says "as long as Kaito has one or more loyalty counters on him", so if he has 0 loyalty, he becomes a planeswalker and goes to the graveyard as a state-based action. Otherwise he's a creature and would survive I think! Which is to say the line wouldn't work, but you're both kind of right, in that Kaito isn't a planeswalker when he has loyalty counters, but he is when he doesn't. Oddly worded.

[@Ben-pv4ve]

@@MaskedTai Thanks for the clarification, I missed that line of text on Kaito
