      @@pietro750While I haven't played Vintage myself, I have watched a lot of vintage videos (LSV videos included, of course). And I have to say I completely disagree. Vintage is surprisingly interactive -- more than Vintage Supreme drafts. Remember, for example, that basically any blue Vintage deck maindecks 4 Force of Will together with a handful of other counters (Spell pierce, flusterstorm, Force of Negation, Mental misstep, etc). Other interactive spells aren't uncommon either (Thoughtseize, etc). Then there are various kinds of stax decks which also slows the game down.

    I think we could do like ~5-10 of these without me getting bored assuming we don't do strictly mono blue/brown. It's definitely more entertaining than regular vintage cube, but in a "sugar high" kinda way. Once the shock value of what you're able to do wears off then I think the lack of strong counterplay will make it less entertaining than regular team draft vintage cube, but I was definitely hoping you'd post some supreme vintage cube and was stoked to see this vid go up.

    The draft format was fun to see. But honestly, I think I only had the appetite for somewhere between 1 and 2, total. The draft strategy is abysmally shallow, and every match is a mirror.
    I didn't mind the Cawblade era, since the mirror match was at least a relatively skillful game. But this format is basically that all over again with way fewer skill-testing interactions.

    • @alexanderdickens2517

      Imo people just can't help themselves, bc they know they're likely to only do a couple. There's a level 2 of the format that uses a lot of interaction, fewer colors, and cheap threats to beat combo. Artifact removal is also nutty. Try drafting a Broadside Bombadeers aggro deck, it's a 1-card combo when you have 3+ mox.

    the format is great because it is fast as well as high variance and high power. games like that are super punishing. when a player can win on any turn, a mistake that gives them a turn is much more likely to give them the game. high power allows for catching up. how many more t1 wins are in the format compared to a normal draft? if it was 500% more, play 500% less games or until it's not fun, whatever comes first.

    For this format I find taking cards like lighting bolt and chain lighting are very important, so many times you are just dead to rights to a Hullbreacher or a bow masters and you just need actual removal to get rid of them. They also can target a planeswalker in a pinch as well.

    I guess you could do 1 of these every week or so

    Ive enjoyed these drafts more than regular but don't think I could watch it daily. Once a week would be awesome video if these types are always running.

    Love these. It feels more like Vintage than some bad rolls on the normal Vintage cube. In the normal V-cube, you're ending up against all power in round 2 and 3 anyways.

    These seem a lot more fun now that you cant open multiples. The first iteration of supreme draft was just who could hullbreacher wheel first because you had a playset of each

    I like these as something refreshing but familiar intermixed into your Vintage Cube content.
