Vintage Cube Draft - The Hero We Deserve

[@SavageHunter_77]

Alright! With the new updates! Great to have you back.

Why did you ignore spellseeker and snapcaster when you already had time walk?

[@benlittle5543]

Wooo cube

[@brandonbagley795]

Some very questionable picks here if you're going for win percentage. Completely ignoring Mystical Tutor, Spellseeker, and Snapcaster when they synergize so well with arguably the best card in cube was the most egregious, I don't think I've ever seen another player with a relatively high win-percentage so completely ignore Time Walk's absurd build-around potential. Genuinely wondering if you forgot you had it? Saheeli over Atraxa or even necro based on not wanting to pivot didn't make much sense either given it was pick 5 and you had none of the top artifact payoffs or enablers. Taking a gamble on sword over the perfect dual or a wrath is at least defensible, although I think the Thopter/Sword combo is one of the weakest combos in the current cube. Relic over No More Lies when again you had zero top tier artifact payoffs or enablers, *and* you had two U/W lands... Great games to watch as always, the drafting was just a bit tough this time lol

Please nerf blue and remove countermagic from the game.

I have to disagree. Unless you are abusing timewalk (UG or a tempo plan) often it’s not as good. Spellseeker is very overrated (timewarp isn’t the best even if the mana can be spent over two turns). Mystical tutor is card disadvantage in a deck that didn’t have that much beyond planeswalkers it’s much better in combo decks. Snapcaster can be strong but with timewalk and not a lot else to flashback it will too often sit in the hand dead (can’t remember exactly but think there was only 3-5 spells). I think you underestimate the strength of mox and karn in an artifact deck. I have found reanimator to be so so and only great if you get all the broken enablers and it’s completely open (necro isn’t one of the broken cards). As it turned out it was not open at all but that’s hindsight thinking. I agree that this style of deck is less reliant on fixing and I think taking sword was partially to try it out. Overall, I think you are overvaluing the broken timewalk decks and not realising that more often than not it’s a good but not exceptional card in most decks. Not worth playing mediocre cards like mystical and spellseeker unless you already have the broken deck. I think playing to win you are better going for consistency, which is what I believe was prioritised.

[@SHADOWSURPRIZE]

I agree. Thanks for commenting so I didn’t have to.

[@JamesHerold]

I think the first one of one of those cards or time walk is excellent, and the second is basically blank in this deck, and it really can’t afford blank draws.

No sound? Better placement of cam!

[@benjaminhill8092]

You sure about the sound? It's working for me. And thank you on the cam!

[@adventurewithdanny]

​@@benjaminhill8092I can hear the audio!!

[@thepratter]

@@benjaminhill8092 audio is good on my end!

[@jordibear]

Please get good, or remove yourself from the game. It's clearly not for you. "Nerf blue" like that even makes sense

[@Gobblesthepatient]

@@jordibear Looks like we've found another blue slave. Free yourself from your bonds! I believe in you!
