This Vintage Cube Draft Was Purely Academic

It's not every time that you get a clean Academy deck with some nice power, and I'm ready to enjoy it to the fullest.

[@RedbeardHS]

Thank you so much for throwing BK in the title and thumbnail. I watch pretty much every vintage cube draft and typically go back to most a second time. It's nice to be able to choose ones with BK specifically. If possible, a BK playlist would be awesome to be able to find ones that have already been uploaded. Thanks again!

[@Trashman99]

Nice try, BK.

[@sqrlmonger]

Sir this is a McDonald's not a Burger King.

[@savagedragn]

Can you imagine LSV putting the time into making a BK playlist?

[@NightOfCrystals]

Here to second this I love the BK drafts too

[@aaronhammer-huber9211]

Luis first picking academy is always exciting. Let's go!

[@phinnos]

I will forever believe in Displacer Kitten. Takes so little to spiral a game that was at parity into a blowout. For example, in this deck it works well with Urza, Karn, Extruder, and more.

[@mrsrandommademedoit3387]

There are def situations where Kitten is the nuts.. but having played it a bunch it often is only good when you are already winning the game. And very often a dead card in your hand. It will never stop me from picking the kitten ofc just a fun card :p

[@timjp7459]

I really, REALLY appreciate your content LSV. The way you explain things is so educational in the way you describe your thought process. Case in point: how the opponent’s play of the surveil land could mean they don’t have a Survival play but might also be them just wanting to play their land helps me develop good instinct about what the opponent is doing. Much gratitude!

[@Jim-zl4sz]

The people want forcing dredge :)

[@AJSGoPro]

Seconded, but Academy is one of my all-time favorite cards, always has been, so I personally (selfishly) don't mind in this case haha.

[@LSVargas]

Come back tomorrow for that one ☝️

[@ApShagster]

We don’t. Keep ripping the dredge deck and never play it haha

[@aidanchutkan8662]

@@LSVargasinb4 he opens academy again tomorrow

[@user-mf4sc8im8y]

Maybe the dredge deck , might be good in the teams but the draw back is asking someone to put those cards in a cube lol

[@roarmalf]

Imagine getting Emrakul into play twice in a match and losing... I usually don't feel bad for our opponents, but that was rough...

[@DreamGamingS2]

Emrakul without casting isn't really a game winner when you throw all your resources into it.

[@deggdegg2005]

@@DreamGamingS2 Discarding with Survival (replaces itself) and using a 2 mana spell to get it back is all of your resources?

[@jordancaldwell2208]

Lol for all the trash talk thrown at BK it's funny he doesn't realize when Luis is giving him a compliment calling him the "anchor".

[@JapanischErfahren]

He's not used to compliments from lsv at all. xD

[@yamchadragonball6983]

I honestly feel bad for bk and wonder why he puts up with it

[@jordancaldwell2208]

@@yamchadragonball6983 nah, some people just have great relationships and that's part of their dynamic. It's not like LSV verbally abuses him or anyone. Just friendly banter.

[@redhairpurpleheadband5775]

it was not intended as a compliment because LSV rarely breaks character except when thanking him for covering the last draft, in this instance anchor meant "something that slows you down". At best it was a clever subtle dig. very funny though.

[@jordancaldwell2208]

​@@redhairpurpleheadband5775 Lol guess you can take it how you want it but immediately describing him as "the anchor of the team" is a known compliment amongst team sports doesn't really give way to your interpretation. There wasn't any pauses or sarcasm in his voice except when BK responded with uncertainty about what LSV meant after the compliment was given.

[@Justinsalehtv]

I listen to all of LSV’s videos on 2x speed. Whenever I go back to normal speed it sounds like he’s speaking in slow motion to me

[@Junglej0hn]

Same^^ Also, Because I am so used to it, I have sometimes forgotten that it's on 2x speed and caught myself wondering how he drafts so friggin fast xD

[@gabeharangody7036]

To be fair, even on 1x it's usually faster than the average id imagine ​@@Junglej0hn

[@troycognigni687]

I watch 1.5 but I’m glad I’m not the only one. My friends all think I’m crazy but mtgo gameplay in general is so slow so I speed up the video and now I’m just used to it🤣

[@PhakeJake]

I did this for other mtgo players but Luis fills every moment with thoughtful commentary so I don’t feel the need to

[@Rhystic_Buddy]

The Featuring BK banner is excellent

[@8628416]

The masses want the Bazaar discard stuff!

[@87539319]

pulling mox sapphire in that spot is amazing

[@wasup1193]

Academy p1p1 and Bk in the mix? Chef's kiss

[@brianfox8362]

It feels like your last opponent just didn't realize giver could give protection from colorless.

I'm assuming match 3 opponent didn't actually realize Giver of Runes could do protection from colorless

[@roarmalf]

LSV and BK? You love to see it!

[@jorritdriessen5728]

I've actually made Mana with Tamiyo's -3, it was in Modern and I played Grixis Phoenix, and I brought back Manamorphose

[@waves-]

i have come around to watching LSV with BK, great content as always here. (Please bring back cube drafts with Mr. Cheon).

[@ApShagster]

Love the continuous rip on the dredge cards hahaha

[@RCTricking]

Do we ever board Jewel for Chariot against the aggro Sol Ring deck?

[@TehTime]

I know some people said they're tired of seeing you pick Academy, but that match 1 was so disgusting it proves Academy content still has new heights to reach lol.

[@roippi3985]

Notification 2 minutes late, panic set in

[@87539319]

delicious upheaval play

[@ericdaniello5659]

LETS GOOOOO!!! I’ve been waiting so long to see LSV play shorikai I love that card… probably my favorite commander of all time

[@brothertobias]

I live to see these Upheaval turns

[@raymondgreen9379]

It's possible your r3 opponent doesn't know that giver gives pro colorless

[@JackTR21]

That's what I was thinking. They probably were thinking of it as just a slightly nerfed mom

[@jrjamesson]

LSV actually could have won if he played into it more like that (or didn't throw both games by letting the opponent hit him with palantir damage... just give them the card!)

[@bufels]

karn was pretty nuts this draft

[@mdoughty]

BK looking fresh!!

[@leebosley5984]

Love the BK collabs.

[@Linky609]

I love how some people will still try to justify unbanning academy in commander "because green has cradle" academy is such a completely busted card.

[@ssiiggnnss]

not sure it was ever needed, but, I was curious if minusing Karn for battleball / seraph / titan was on your radar at any point?

[@patesanders1172]

wrong karn

[@Chickston]

What's up with that WU Gundam vehicle? No one ever takes it and it seems so out of place.

[@concertautist4474]

Agree that Displacer Kitten is a bit of a win more card.

[@dankweekyboom3427]

This has got to be LSVs luckiest draft ever. Two mox sapphires so lucky.

[@wagatron7697]

SPOILER: You’re 3-0 against turn one sol ring in the past 3 videos, it must be overrated

[@manhattanblockade8544]

Im starting a vote to add "LSV first picking Academy" to TVTropes

3 packs 3 bombs let’s go 😂 insanity

31:24 What a disgusting turn

[@grin_of_grimmsnarl1333]

Lunch time, bois!! As if we were picking anything other than Tolarian Academy first 🤣

[@iPLAYgb]

Makes me sad that Stitcher’s Supplier isn’t quite good enough - love that card :(

[@ChrisSchock]

@LSVargas Any Assassin's Creed's cards getting added to your cube? I'm testing out Ezio, Brash Novice and Shay Cormac

[@brittenstaskywicz2436]

Bk is the anchor for sure

[@RCTricking]

1:04:40 They can’t equip Jitte and give Fury pro-colorless, I guess equip Fury, minus on the damaged 4/4, plus on Fury is also winning though 😮

[@dougisacat]

I’m still waiting for that gy force draft mr v

[@ub3rlegen]

I think you underrate Tamiyo's +2, and could have flipped her sooner in a few games.

[@MichaelWilliam-yn8md]

Do you post exact time every day? I always get so excited when I check and see the last video was posted 23 hours ago 😂

[@roarmalf]

yes, same time every day

Any way you can post your personal cube link? Or maybe start putting it in the description? I would love to check it out for some inspiration 😊

The issue with academy decks is that if you don’t have a academy there decks isn’t very goood

[@jrjamesson]

hellooooo BK

[@modestbukowski]

Usually / Used to love the Academy decks. But since LSV get obsessive with certain cards for a period of time, it eventually gets a little bit repetitive to see the same kind of deck play out. I had to fast forward this one to get through it. LSV you are so creative and good at deck building it would be nice to see more variation, maybe a stip. What about that Dredge deck? Since it's always open it would be fun to see what you could build. Appreciate the content though, just hoping for some variation. Love it when BK is a guest.

[@decoutan3900]

Unfortunately Leagues are so low commitment and chance...these low stakes make it much less commiting both in playing and watchin.

As good as they are, busted academy videos migh be the less entertainment value out of your range... I've grown to be a little disappointed when you pick it because the future is less exciting!
