Vintage Cube 64 player Vegas Qualifier Top 8 Draft

We made top 8 of this 64... can we make the finals?

Chrome Mox > Otharri, Generous Plunderer > Glimmer Lens, City of Traitors > Samwise - might have been an interesting direction. Your best cards all point towards an explosive deck, so I prefer a direction which will more reliably do this. The great thing about RW in cube is that you're not even giving up anything really if you draft the deck this way, since the one-card value engines in these colours are so insane. By the time these choices came up for you, you already had Forth and Fable anyway, so you can can feel confident any card disadvantage is likely to be very well mitigated, by the end of the draft. Wasteland is fantastic and you can consider it a 1 drop for deck building purposes - 1 mana is the cheapest interaction you'll get and the effect is absolutely backbreaking in many spots.

I highly appreciate your insights, I'm very curious how a version of this deck with chrome mox/generous plunderer/city of traitors/wasteland would have fared. I like your assessment of the RW arch-type as a whole (lot's of 1 card value engines). I can't wait for the next iteration of the cube to fire (will probably have to wait a while I'm sure)

I'd consider putting the music volume a bit lower, it's as loud as your voice !

I watch entire video, more please.

As a heads up as a first-time viewer, your cam is blocking a portion of the drafting pool. I doubt most people watching on KZbin are invested in what chat is saying, so might be worth finding a way to move it down if possible. I like the draft choices in this one though.

[@richardcook4260]

It will be corrected my friend thanks!

[@hwago123]

Can’t see the entire pack with your cam placement.

[@gregorykelly8000]

Why didn't you cast the 2/1 on turn one instead of soul ring? Turn two soul ring fable, attack 2?

[@gregorykelly8000]

Can not see up right when you surveillance lands

[@gregorykelly8000]

5 drop should been Thalia??? R/B has tons of spells?

[@RichardCook1977]

Thalia is quite the beatstick

[@gregorykelly8000]

​@RichardCook1977 It hurts you as well, but not as bad as RB control, right?

[@gregorykelly8000]

Do you run out of time a bit when you draft control???

[@RichardCook1977]

I definitely need to manage my clock better

[@hwago123]

A few poor picks this draft IMO.

Curious to know which picks you would have made

[@tofuborn9850]

we wanted plunder for ramp over limmer lens

[@richardcook4260]

@@tofuborn9850 makes sense I can get behind that pick. That’s next level to consider the plunderer as a ramp card…I kinda like that take
