Who Needs Eldrazi When You Have Boros Control | MH3 MTGA Draft

Boros Control isn't the standard in MH3, but finding new angles to attack the format is a ton of fun (and you can only draft Writhing Chrysalis so many times).

[@philipkelly7369]

I keep on saying to my screen, "That, enchanter, Luis! That one!" But LSV just wont stop asking me: Which enchanter?

[@latinkingzgl]

19:41 Maybe he had a Flare he thought could save him (with all the devoid creatures, uncastable anyways and none of the 5 Flares help) or maybe hes going for Daily Cast Blue Spells Challenges

[@CapitanBobby22]

9 games of MH3 draft without running into a single Chrys and final boss opp slams a 1-2 hydra all in. The LSV pool special was strong today

[@georginikolov41]

The final boss was missing colors. Their deck was probably great, just bad luck

[@farmerdragonball]

47:00 LSV makes the right play when i thought he may’ve made the sweet play; nulldrifter pre combat and flickering it with Phalia

[@aronb.1273]

Title mentions Boros, but no red drafted at all in the first pack? I’m so curious to see where this goes

[@kevinmiller3995]

I thought the same...

[@MercyfulJester]

Took Aether Revolt so... I guess the pivot happens here?

[@kcsnipes]

This happened to me in pack 2 a rather revolt aaaaaand pivot 😅

[@Anusien]

It probably goes to Boros 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@EastWindCommunity1973]

As it turns out, he begins taking red cards in the second pack. If you continue watching the video you will get to see!

[@trentjones5881]

Phelia is a messed up card. Seems every time it goes unanswered it just breaks the op

[@kcsnipes]

9:00 can I pet that dawwwg 😅

[@Kendal411]

Boros control? You had my curiosity... now you have my attention.

[@sjake8308]

B I G B O R O S !

[@joshualawall5554]

I think the issue with the format is that a lot of the words I simply can counter the other strategies. Randomly having reach and flying on these cards just shuts blue black and flyers down and of course they have the ultimate late game as the format is not super quick

[@fpejanovic]

yea the 4/5 tap stun eldrazi having reach is totally unnecessary. also the chrysalis being the worst offending card in the set and having reach doesn't help. they could have removed reach, and gave it just 1 eldrazi token and it'd be fine

[@danielolsen3514]

Sweet deck LSV! Phelia showing up to impress this draft. The pup is such a house on turn two. Really flexible card that can start building.

[@BladedEdge123]

This seems like the kind of format that is fun to watch get drafted a few times but that I wouldn't wanna put too much time into personally. Just a bit too..meh. Maybe in a week or two if people begin to discover a more diverse meta, it might be good? And maybe the bot-drafting will produce decks that are fun to play/play against? But yah. Doesn't help I suppose that this set isn't standard legal so your not adding to your collection for the most played format on MTGA, though I am still very glad we got MH3 on arena! It could have very easily just not been put on this format at all given, you know, no modern format.

[@LTJZamboni]

I had a Boros control deck last night after first picking Phlage and the Angels were super good for me too. I was mostly using Glimpse the Impossible to ramp into big decrees and dig for Phlage but it went 7-1. It’s nice to know even though the format feels solved there is still plenty of depth to explore.

[@michelenocci30]

That dog, Phelia, is insane! 😂❤

[@roippi3985]

I dub this band Phelia and the Blinky Boys

[@yamchadragonball6983]

I must admit that i disagree that Eldrazi has been pushed too hard. The top decks seems to be: 1) Gruul/Temur Eldrazi 2) Boros aggro 3) Dimir control They seem fairly even. The color balance is pretty decent too. My top 5 drafts have been: Temur eldrazi ramp, Jeskai energy control, 2 dimir control, boros aggro.

[@MrAnthonyjustice]

Another great video, thanks LSV. To answer your question from earlier, I prefer the modo drafts but the arena is cool too (I love watching the hunt for 7 wins). However I don't like the powered down arena cards , one ring , minsk and boo etc. id love to see the mirage fetch lands get a shot in the cube

[@Snarkeroid]

powered down arena cards? Just play non alchemy formats like timeless, nothing is nerfed there.

[@MarkChaney-b8k]

Almost had onslaught control vibes here

[@quarkraven]

arena is cool but I appreciate the added thoughtfulness of your sideboarding. coin flip is a bit overpowered in bo1

[@DadsDrafts]

Is there any reason at 9:50 you didn't take the galvanic discharge? It's bonkers with Aether Revolt Id say.

[@ColeBishop23]

I love your videos, could you make your camera window a bit smaller in arena so we can read the text on the new cards when they're on the stack?

[@kcsnipes]

8:22 the black card in pack 2 weren’t great so probably a good pivot ?

[@kcsnipes]

55:37 does this mean phalia was his next draw ?

[@concertautist4474]

I wonder what chicanery goes on with match making depending on your decks. It did seem odd there was no great eldrazi opponent.

[@larrychatfield]

"bit" too pushed?! they did. it say thing last time with eldrazi winter that we had to deal with for 2 years in standard. writhing chrysalis reminds me of oko stats mistakes. EVERY single design dial is redlined and amped up. should be a rare, counters don't need to be permanent, doesn't need 2 tokens, doesn't need mana etc etc

[@Snarkeroid]

writhing chrysalis remind you of OKO? What an exaggeration lmao.

[@larrychatfield]

@@Snarkeroid ok maybe that's hyperbole but lets' go with smuggler's copter where it was: too cheap, looted on attack or block, flew, had crew 1, was a 3/3. the point being they push these archetypes and the cute toys that are the theme of the set and something always gets uber pushed but also remember this is a COMMON and there are going to be 2-4 in a draft and since eldrazi is already seemingly the best deck in the format there isn't even a downside to drafting the best common in the set with the best archetype

[@Snarkeroid]

@@larrychatfield you can see in just this video he beats 2 crystalis. people are overestimating how crazy the card is despite the 17lands data.

[@brianh5844]

​@@SnarkeroidHe did? I didn't see a single Chrysalis cast. I might have blacked out when it happened though I suppose.

[@kcsnipes]

Where does lsv find all these ‘do nothing’ paid actor opponents 😅

[@gochubattamugga]

Sweet deck. Played about 6 drafts and 4 commons really irk me to no end in this format - Horrific Assualt, Nightshade Dryad, Galvanic Discharge and Chrys. Im so sick of seeing those cards. Horrific should be a Fight not a Punch. Nightshade should have No Deathtouch or no Color Fixing. Discharge is just insane in any deck and should have been an Uncommon and Chrys is OP. This format had so much promise. It looked like Rise of the Eldrazi draft from the previews but turned into Capenna for me.

[@dylanm.4875]

Killing Phelia when you don't need to is definitely a sin.

[@nicocc03]

you always need to

[@Pug8]

Yaaaaaaas 🎉🎉🎉 excited!!!

[@AndresSheehan-gn3yk]

Match 1, game 1 you hit him twice and did NO DAMAGE. Third hit you dropped him to 17. Why?!

[@kcsnipes]

I’m nervous that lsv is in my rank right now 🥶😅

[@Bigdisgrace22]

27:35 Animal Cruelty! T.T

[@AlexA-wb9pr]

Boros might be the best deck in mh3

[@cowgirlqueen2636]

Black is like always open

[@joshuastamand7653]

Wrath reads as a may, you shouldnt have to pay 0 and kill tokens.

[@jeremyramirez3031]

Yay new video

[@klambaz]

Gosh, scooping at 50:47 is such a buzz kill when you have a card in your deck that would get you out of your current predicament, even if you're at 1 life at that point. Stabilizing at one and coming back from the brink would've been sick!

[@LogicalKip]

More pupper decks please

[@alext.1244]

LSV being in Plat is just pure smurfing

[@cowgirlqueen2636]

Gargantua over performs every time I take it

[@JapanischErfahren]

19:41 disliked for BM.

[@yeetus333]

What's BM?

[@michaelbohm5160]

19:41 damn, didnt know you were that kind of person. sad to see.

[@rodintremboy6459]

the opponent?

[@brandonbagley795]

Much prefer Mtgo, and very rarely will even watch Arena. One thing that would be kind of nice though is a slightly higher upload resolution for clearer cards. Even bumping up to 1440 would go along way

[@DavidHarrisActor]

Why do you like Arena?
