soul cauldron allows you to use academy to pay for golos. The hidden ability of soul cauldron let you use mana as if it was mana of any color for creature abilities
"This is why I don't like displacer kitten" Instantly goes absolutely ham with displacer kitten lol. I love these man!
LSV is like a kid on Christmas, oddly feels heartwarming
This one definitely felt like Santa got LSV's Christmas list
LSV did the “Academy Wiggle” when he saw it in the pack.
This channel is easily the best thing to come from 2023. I tune in every day and can't get enough of these drafts- thanks so much for the awesome content LSV!
If this doesn't 3-0 I'm gonna cry
Need some tissues?
Guys he’s crying lay off him. He just needs to be alone right now.
Live by the cradle, die by the cradle.
Got the tissues ready for ya
That candle bug at 1:06:56... The instant you are clicking done it switches to "X is currently 0" instead of 2...
41:00 most oppressive win i've seen in a while
The most LSV deck to ever exist.
it's missing brain freeze and led though
43:48 you gotta love the non deterministic infinite turns win con
I think the best possible is Walk, Echo, Walk, Spiral, Walk, Echo, Walk, Flashback Echo, Walk. So 5?
Time for lunch and time for my daily cube. Best combo.
Hey thanks for the content! I don't know if you've already talked about it in a previous video, but why did White Plume Adventurer not make the cut in your cube?
I haven’t loved the games WPA led to, but I’m open to it
I kind of believe that first picking a Lotus actually decreases LSV’s win percentage because it tempts him into “after all, why shouldn’t I?” storm. Let’s see what happens.
Getting to listen everyday while at work has been a joy. Thank you!
love all the cube content and thank you for releasing videos every single day. they release exactly after gym after work which is just 👌
i'm at the end of pack 2 and i can't wait to watch LSV have fun with this unbeliavable masterpiece of a deck
You can’t keep getting away with this!!
Mack was a pretty good sport letting you do that in the last game 😂
“But what about second breakfast” caught me off guard and I laughed way harder than I should have
Only halfway through the draft portion. CHEF'S. KISS. 😮
Seeing Legolas's quick reflexes added to the cube reminds me one thing silly I like about commander is that you can run some blue counterspell morphs and actually counter split second as unmorphing is one of the few legal game actions you can take vs split second.
This deck was so so sweet. And its the most LSV deck I think I've ever seen LSV have.
He did it again! What a draft. Was this better than the last time you got cradle academy? Yes.
I'm a little confused by not speccing on the Zuran Orb with Crucible. Yeah, you can't use the combo to power out infinite mana, but you can tap Academy for mana, sac it, play it as the land for turn, and then tap Academy again as a mana doubler. With exploration, you could triple the mana.
Obv in hindsight getting passed the Thopter Foundry + Sword of the Meek was an absurd thing to wheel, but I'm surprised the Crucible was such a fast pass.
I’ve tried to experiment with mulliganing more aggressively towards my broken stuff in vintage cube and it had worked out quite well. A mediocre 7 is worse than a busted 5 from what I’ve been finding.
Paul should’ve held priority with upheaval on the stack and cracked jar, 7 new looks to survive trap and putting his opponent’s board in a jar hand that gets discarded EOT
What an insane team! Love sandy dog too much as well
Really been loving the cube content, which instantly turned me onto the format. Would also love to see you play constructed once in a while. Vintage maybe? Doesn't seem like too much of a stretch from vintage cube.
@lsv recently did a brother’s war draft and forgot how sneaky strong sarinth steelseeker is at uncommon. Would be interesting in some lands/artifact decks, not sure it’s at the vintage power level tho.
Edit: the more I think about it, it would be a solid add as it goes nutzo with all the artifact generations
It might be a decent add. I tried it a while ago and it was decent but a bit short in support but that was before the addition of things like currency converter or Sentinel of the Nameless City. In a similar style I have been liking Sarah Jane Smith (flavor aside) a lot as value engine/cardboard maker.
@@Evvins yeah there have been a lot of token generators added. Feels like it will be a lot better than a few months back
You can tell this draft put Luis into his happy place :D
Would it have been better for Paul to Memory Jar with Upheaval on the stack, so all his opponent's permanents would have been lost to the Jar? I know it ultimately didn't matter, but there's also the chance he could have jarred into something to help him get the Initiative back.
@1:25:20 i think another line was to play and activate golos. I think there was JUST enough mana
was this the most expensive (if paper cards) main deck since the series started? :) definitely a fun deck
Worth the rewatch!
Love following the evolution of your cube list, and I'm shamelessly stealing a lot of them for my own cube :D
Edit: Wow this deck looks insane!
Man cube draft really is uniquely awesome. One day u can be slapping people with mother of runes, the next u are generating infinite card draw mana and turns.
I think the love for Retrofitter Foundry is over the top. Taking it over Force of Negation seems wrong.
But then LSV's the pro....
Cards from this draft that [[Stifle]] would have interacted with in an interesting way:
Grief, Coveted Jewel (to keep them from stealing it), landcycling abilities, Fetch Lands, Daretti, Archon of Cruelty ETB, Displacer Kitten, Vampire Hexmage, Living Weapon cards, cratermaker, cathar commando, Golos, dungeoneer ETB (no initiative), chrome mox/mox diamond, bomat courier....
It's a great card with lots of utility, let's add it to the cube!
Enjoy the good times while theyre here 😌
Poor Oracle... everytime you see it you remind it of its fall... 😢
This is possibly the closest to the 'lsv dream' deck.... so much fun to watch 👏
This is the type of thumbnail tgat makes me wanna play some vintage cube😂
last game against troll i was hoping for the exile golos with cauldron, play academy, activate "golos" a bunch because you can use mana of any color. But i guess what he did was good enough XD
This deck was amazing!
awesome list. only wish you also pulled timetwister but that wasnt ever needed haha
Match 2 game 2 he was dead even with a damn to the time walk because you could activate colonnade use it to crew chariot than untap it with candelabra to attack for 8 twice. Not that it mattered but I still think it was a cool line if a wrath happened
Me audibly saying “No way!!” When I see the thumbnail haha
i wonder if tireless provisioner would be a worthy add to the new lsv cube...
This can only go well !
Is it your birthday or something? That draft was crazy awesome!
That is a perfect deck!
Sweet draft!
Academy and Cradle, name a more iconic duo.
01:17 when I saw the cradle in this deck I knew it wouldn't be a 3-0 but just a meme...if it was an island instead of the cradle this deck would be so much more perfect...but at least it was fun...
What a nutty trinket mage lmao
when LSV has cradle, academy and time spiral mtgo is bound to crash
Love to see it... 10 minutes in, Kitty is mehhh.... At the end of the games, Kitten is MVP !!
@lsv why don't you add dryad arbor to this cube?
Maybe it’s the cube list but Mind Twist typically means a 2-1 or a 3-0 in my powered cube.
And here you can see a primer of why people stopped passing card Tolarian Academy to LSV in the draft.
this is good stuff
Is this cube list posted anywhere?
What is “the best card in the cube” you are referring to?
lsv livin the dream
Love you imitating yourself 😂
I don't remember insta liking a video that fast
lsv says black lotus is teh 2nd best card in the cube, what is #1? recall or time walk?
At the end of pack 2, don't you want more card draw/selection so that you don't just flood out? I feel like these decks are usually playing 20-30 mana generation cards and the way they lose is not seeing win cons. Trinket Mage certainly helps, but it feels like these decks lose because they don't have a way to spend their mana. It also seems like playing something like 15 land would be ideal if you have 4+ mana accelerants that cost 2 or less. I guess we'll see how pack 3 goes.
I usually do this (play less lands) in these kind of decks but I am not a Pro Tour winner...
Paul's on vacation.
The end of round 1 lol. I wish opponent would’ve left LSV to his own devices. Some say he’d still be tapping today…
I feel like we didn’t get to see the deck go off as much as we should have but that last game kind of made up for it 😂
How do all your teammates get the same record? Awesome deck tho
Could have just stopped after pack two on this one haha!
Hey LSV do you have this full cube in paper?
Yeah pretty much
I was just getting out of my chair to go do something else, saw the thumbnail and sat right back down.
LSV, would you say this is the best cube deck you’ve drafted?
1:25:21 couldn’t you play golos and activate with star?
@14:23 -- They need to unban Mind Twist in Legacy already. The card just isn't what it used to be and it doesn't do anything people aren't already doing in Legacy and getting unrestricted in Vintage hasn't done anything, either.
I'd much rather play against a deck that goes Swamp -> Dark Ritual -> Dark Ritual -> Dark Ritual -> Lotus Petal -> Mind Twist on turn one over Swamp -> Dark Ritual -> Entomb -> Animate Dead -> Atraxa/Griselbrand/Archon of Cruelty/Ashen Rider/Gravy Train/whatever busted creature is FotM.
Does anyone have a link to the LSV Cube?
Never miss
Incredible deck but opening Lotus and passing Tendrils, YawgWill, Citadel etc just hurt my feelings
“Or.. win the game this turn, tho I don’t think his deck is really capable of doing that..” 😅 I wonder why…
LSV: "Land, Academy?"
*Draws Academy*
Day 365 of LSV predicting his draws
At like 8:50 is there no consideration for channel over jewel? Channel feels pretty good in artifacts and you’re already in green
At 1:06:50 the interface is bugged. The DONE option that he clicked shouldn't exist. You can see at 1:10:40 how it should look like.
how much does a average vintage cube cost on mtgo?
less than you think, most vintage cards are just dimes or at most dollars, because they are not redeemable and quite often reprinted digitally . moxes are like $3, black lotus $19 ( some dual lands are actually more expensive. For $300 you can have whole vintage set. You also need cards from newer sets, but for less than $1K you can have a really nice cube set
in this episode of hax
at m2 g2, when you play sword of the meek turn 2, you play it with mishra workshop saying next turn you can play sentinel
only you can't... or am i missing something? why did you not just play forest instead of mishra workshop to play it?
(obviously you then draw mana vault and are able to cast it anyway. I am arguing that not knowing the draw and assuming you draw a brick you couldnt cast sentinel, and have 1 lesss mana than if you played forest)
Oh no, he's talking about Agatha's Soul Cauldron. I'm not falling for it though, no way he plays it 😢 can't really blame him.
Just watched the draft from the day after this one. Poor Raffine (spl) never dtood a chance.
Edit: crazy deck so far, Agatha is dead. Long live kitten? It is much better/ easier to play than Soul Cauldron.
17 lands with a black lotus? Idk, id cut a land there..
WTF was that candelabra bug? You clicked it correctly and it took the mana.
Play the urborg for Golos!!!!!
all green cards wheeling seemingly every round what can be done
I absolutely love your videos, I was wondering if you could not use names in the titles that spoil what you open/ are going to pick. I think the surprise is half the fun!
Sadly that’s not a good decision for interest-gathering purposes
I have to admit I'm guilty of this. I'm much more interested in watching videos where I know the deck will be OP.@@LSVargas
That's fair, I like to think one day you'll be big enough that with the millions of views you get you wont need the interest gathering. So glad you have really pushed your content, your videos are a highlight of my day. @@LSVargas
Vintage cube draft #1,382,880 doesn't quite have the same ring to it... 😂
You can figure out how to load videos without spoiling it, when there's a will there's a way
Thumbnail too hot for UA-cam.
Deck looked busted already after pack 2
PAUL
Drawing Echo into Academy back to back in Match 3 was disgusting. Luck overcompensated for Match 2
This video was so good.
Spoiler;
So sad we didn’t get there😢
If someone who uses your program all day every day still struggles to use your program...maybe your program just kinda sucks.
The candelabra thing was peak magic online.
