Vintage Cube Draft | Channel LSV

[@Fromaginator]

Another step in our inexorable march towards the video where LSV 3-0s with 40 basic lands

[@infinitelimitedmtg5197]

"Wow, 3 islands and a Metal Worker? My body is basically ready for anything." - LSV

[@callmemisvael]

Love the Legacy Veedio shoutout!

[@Alakarin]

I love watching Lsv's Vintage cube drafts!

[@mbilbo]

"Mulldrifter is a combo." - LSV 2018

[@TheAcidBrn]

1:20:20 3x lands (only Plains) in 14 cards, Wildfire wiping the board, Balanced down to one card, but then still making a game of it. Bravo, sir. That 6-mana BOOM (Burning of Xinye) was priceless btw

[@burrowingduck]

I always watch channel fireball for the legacy veedeeos 1:02:30

[@Valdrag]

Thank you for that comment, I missed what he said the first time

[@G.Aaron.Fisher]

1:21:39 The punt is real. You could have tapped both Island and Gilded Lotus, let Tanglewire resolve, then untap Monolith.

[@jairomy]

Aaron Fisher that was weird indeed since he did that play 2 turns earlier.

[@vy1585]

lsv always edges

[@Attakijing]

i thought that too, but grim monolith would get tapped afterwards, which is even worse

[@loathesome_pilk_drinker]

Hahaha, thank you LSV for acknowledging the V E E D I O.

[@beardedwendigo5291]

Passing a late Goblin Darkdwellers when you have timewalk for a speculative seething song seems really weird to me, unless someone can explain.

[@mach186282]

In all seriousness, LSV, these were some exciting back-and-forth games, especially Game 3 of Match 1 and all of Match 2. That Metamorph copying Inkwell was awesome!

[@EriKyoto]

I swear. LSV will find a way to win with a ham sandwich one of these days

[@Kvothe95]

Not picking Dark-Dwellers pick 9 after LSV had a time-walk hurt my soul

[@Alkoholwioslaidziwki]

Sebastian Patzelt My thoughts exactly. There was 0 chance of him playing Seething Song and Dwellers with power is insane.

[@DermoNONE]

nice glad the full Cheons beat out storm this draft

[@Muibadorei]

I gotta say at pack 2 this looked like another generic UW control cube deck, but pack 3 made it really interesting as soon as Opposition showed up. Great draft!

[@MagnusTheRedDog]

Your cube vidoes are the best, keep it up!

[@denverboyd9953]

Two seconds in he goes in case we end up in storm I'm very scared we are ending up in storm.

[@enneff]

LSV and first pick Time Walk? Sold.

[@Finngrinder]

that ending screen promises nice things coming

[@clayvision]

This is literally my favorite cube deck, the sun titan reveillark deck

[@zassSRK]

at 1:21:40 why not tap the island and lotus for 4 mana, let tangle wire ability resolve, and then use the 4 mana to untap monolith?

[@mails65]

Just got back and lying to sleep. God bless

[@mach186282]

1:04:36 K_ss: Pop quiz! Which of the following cards am I going to play this turn? (Choose all that apply.) A) Crucible of Worlds B) Vedalken Shackles C) Myr Battlesphere D) Tangle Wire LSV: Um, B and C would be the most threatening. So I'll go with those. 1:05:22 K_ss: Ooh, I'm sorry. The correct answer was E) Ulamog the Ceaseless Hunger. Thanks for playing! Better luck next time!

[@castlewise]

That commit soulfire lock was filthy. I would rather be soulfire timewalk locked. At least that way I wouldn't suffer the humiliation of having to draw the same cards over and over.

[@vitrehacek7455]

you should do the "untap grim monolith in upkeep under the wire" trick again there in the end of finals

[@lukeknox2566]

this was so satisfying.

[@yawgmoth5662]

Why do these always seem to come out AFTER cube is gone from MTGO? It just makes me want to play cube... and I can't...

[@mrc3533]

Well it's better than watching infinite core set videos.

[@mrc3533]

I have nothing against core sets, they just aren't that interesting to watch after a while because they are fairly simplistic.

[@timw9745]

They have been coming out a lot while it was still online..

[@codetaku]

uTubeNoITube: I love playing core sets and love what core sets do for the game. But once you've played 5 drafts, you've seen every deck in the format, and so among players at the pro level, watching them draft eventually comes down to pack luck while drafting and draw luck while playing.

[@zzafrica87]

That was a great show :)

[@Nether2342]

Taking a random storm card in your non storm deck, over goblin dark dwellers when you already have the best dark dwellers target in the cube, time walk, is a huge punt.

[@TaylorCrosbyofficial]

Watch LSV win by by drawing only lands or never lands XD

[@flowerFOG]

The goose is in fact loose. 38:50

[@CyrusMackie]

29:25 could get lethal by attacking with colonnade, geist, and tap riftwing with either colonnade or splicer right?

[@antsache]

Yeah, and I think it was pretty safe to go for it there. It's just that if they manage to somehow stop the Colonnade they get to eat the Geist with True-Name, which isn't great. I don't know if he was playing around anything in particular, but the Giddeon line was probably marginally safer. Not that it was all that important with Lark and Baneslayer in hand.

[@a.s.vanhoose1545]

Insane

[@r2dezki]

The mise of the century.

[@gregorykelly8000]

Check your lands again, please. Wear/tare probably should have come in with 4 free sources? Learned a ton from you good sir, thank you.

[@Domonicgamer]

Yaaaaaaaay my fave mtg show

[@seannissen2509]

Had opportunity to go infinity turns and didn't!?! Where is LSV and what have you done with him?

[@omegaduckie]

The crazy thing is that blue is powerful enough to pick every single draft

[@Frogplushy]

Blue cards in magic have been the most powerful because of the following rule: He who sees the most cards wins the game. Effectively meaning: If I have more options to deal with threats, create threats, and impact the game state than you, I am going to win the game.

[@utterlyj1277]

Yup. LSV isn't joking when he says it's always correct to draft blue in cube. Unless you're going mono red, green or white, there's really not that much incentive not to have some blue cards in your deck. I did not mention mono black because it's bad.

[@bolt3_095]

Cheons!

[@joshuapelletier8219]

it was like you mindslaver locked them with their own mindslaver lol.

[@DeHavenac]

I'm not familar with Cube drafts on mtgo but from this I'm guessing that it's technically not singleton since you're going up against opponents with the same cards

[@Kahez]

it is but you may not play vs the ppl you drafted with.

[@thearcherr33]

Some modern in the future lsv??

[@adrenaline19]

I came here expecting him to draft blue, I wasn't disappointed.

[@1337x1337x]

Thank based god, more vintage cube draft

[@alyssinwilliams4570]

@LSV Watching his video after watching all of your recent (end of 2018) vintage cube storm drafts.. seeing you playing creatures is just weird

[@jrjamesson]

Match 1 game 3 - could have cast metamorph, copied snapcaster, and replayed time walk!

[@alanyuan8565]

Why does his opponent have a mox diamond when he drafted a mox diamond?

[@wabatt22]

Like your content

[@88kolar]

i want to play cube but when i check MTGO it is not there... does anyone know when and how to play this drafts (new to MTGO)

[@lthegvik]

Im sorry to say, but the cube is over for now.

[@jong2563]

LSV = MVP

[@MrLifeKills]

Is mono red no good in this cube anymore? I would've thought about switching for that 5th pick Goblin Guide. Would've picked up Guide, Koth, Vortex, and Magus pack 1 then Fireblast, Eidolon, Hazoret, Lavamancer, and a couple good one drops pack 2.

[@jc70003]

Rob Miller in my non-expert opinion, mono red is better in the legacy cube. In the vintage cube, people are doing busted things which can often be faster and more disruptive than mono red

[@joeltucci1916]

It’s playable, the problem is that it doesn’t really do anything to disrupt the opponent so often times even though your clock is fast theirs is faster. Mono-white is the Aggro deck you want in vintage cube, it’s only slightly slower than mono-red but has lots of disruption/taxing making it much harder for your opponent to go off with something broken before you get them to 0

[@yawgmoth5662]

Also people play cube mostly for fun. The prizes are basically non-existent. So why draft the lamest deck possible?

[@mrc3533]

The prize for winning cube is that you get to play more cube.

[@Alkoholwioslaidziwki]

Mono red was never good in vintage cube. Too slow to outrace the broken stuff and no interaction to disrupt it.

[@jamalsonicova2509]

full twin combo passed = ouchy

[@couchpotatoe91]

What a Cheon deck xD

[@LOLWATZOR]

Last time I was this early I made an original joke about it.

[@TheAcidBrn]

Did she laugh?

[@Arghore]

The deck was just 'to fair' to loose ;)

[@kentpartridge5526]

"I guess snap bolt snap can kill stormbreath"

[@cashnsplash8939]

Wow

[@pairot01]

splinter twin doesn't pair quite well with restoration angel...

[@yawgmoth5662]

I questioned a lot of your picks this draft, but none more than taking mulldrifter over Elspeth. I think that was just wrong.

[@Frogplushy]

It appears as though you're evaluating the cards from a pure power level standpoint, and not actually what they do in the deck. Mulldrifter lets the deck do its broken things more consistently, while Elspeth would just allow for another broken thing to happen. The pick is debatable, but it's certainly not just wrong to take the Mulldrifter. Consistency vs Power Spikes is a tricky debate, but you should err on the side of caution, in this case, consistency.

[@utterlyj1277]

Deck already had plenty of high end. Didn't need another finisher. Mulldrifter just makes your deck function better.

[@Bigdisgrace22]

The audio sounds desynced by about half a second :(

[@benjaminzaugg1127]

If you continue to watch LSV videos, you better get used to that sadly ^^

[@italianyourjourney]

That noise on the background seems like a grass-cutter

[@vy1585]

Drafting fair decks in vintage cube smh

[@GameTheoryOptimal]

UW CHEONS

[@adampilarski7083]

This deck looks like Cheons

[@ragnarokice0]

is it me or the video is kinda lag?

[@JakeMC521]

Ho Nam Kwok KZbin has been lagging for me too lately. Only on longer videos

[@naphackDT]

Commit lock xD

[@nickjackson1993]

Commit, Soulfire lock was gross

[@GGCasting]

Fire Frank Lepore

[@TheDray008]

this comment made me laugh really hard. Mainly because I agree with it so much. I used to watch his videos all the time when I was new then I realized he was terrible at the game of mtg.

[@antfayden]

Why, Frank is amazing. His content is fire

[@TheDray008]

Igrams my biggest problem with him is he would try to play fun unique decks to appeal to anti meta people, but he would just pilot them so poorly.. it's frustrating to see.. so I'm sure with a deck he practiced he can play decently especially if it is the crazy busted eldrazi deck but yeah.

[@bladeflesh]

literally anybody could have top 8 with eldrazi...

[@SIeepwalker1]

Frank Lepore's skills (or lack thereof) at the game of magic has nothing to do with why I strongly dislike him.
