I'm always so satisfied to see you've posted a video. my favorite content creator by far! Love your videos man keep it up you're a big inspiration to me
Watched for a long time and never commented but I have to say. I absolutely love your card assessment and explanations. I've been playing since 99 and suggest your videos to all those that I've introduced to the game. Also almost always play storm. Favorite archetype by far through all the years. Keep it up. Masterclass content as always and good luck with Algomancey! ❤
Thanks so much for the comment! It's always really great to hear that people are enjoying my content :) and thanks, I'm both nervous and excited for Algomancy, we'll just have to see how it turns out.
35:21 I like how, even if they take time walk here and make it cost 2 more mana, it would still be the best extra turn spell ever printed. Early magic design was nuts
Tis draft was unreal, felt like 5 times you called what you needed and it just popped out of nowhere next pack. Incredible stuff, love your stuff :) will defo check out your game's kickstarter when it goes live !
I think Brainfreeze is more the problem than Breach. Breach is actually quite fun. Brainfreeze self-milling is degenerate and opponent-milling is unfun (especially with the "Eldrazi or no?" sub-game that happens). Stuff like Tendrils, Thousand-year Storm, Aetherflux Reservoir, and even Empty are much more interesting storm win cons, in my opinion.
yeah brain freeze is also just absurdly good, but the issue with breach is it still goes infinite with a bunch of other stuff too like wheel of fortune LED, frantic search, even faithless looting can go pretty deep with it. If I were trying to balance the cube I would just cut them both probably, but at least one of the two should be cut.
What's up with the ~3 minutes of black at 45:31? Amazing deck, one of the strongest storm ones i've seen from Caleb. Excited for Algomancy! Should be fun!
You drew very well, had excellent opening hands and had literally every piece of the deck. Its hard for breach to not feel over powered when the stars aligned.
Holy moly, your deck just literally didn't need any kind of interaction, against 3 aggressive-ish decks just over the top, you love to see it, 2 different storm decks in one, so much consistency without cantrips or counter magic All the opening hands were so good! Love your content Caleb, thank you, as always hope for a lot more of this! Your explanations are so good, while watching im often thinking why did he do x or y like that, and then 3 steps later I realize how far ahead your thinking! Ggs
You are my favorite MTG UA-camr. I'm pretty much out of MTG at this point but I still watch all these videos. You have a good voice for videos. I hope algomancy takes off. I haven't looked at it much yet but I plan to when I have time. Best of luck to you Caleb!
I read "broken storm" as "tried to draft it, didn't get there and made a functional pile of junk". But you were basically playing Vintage constructed here :)
I think the Dream Halls could have been maindeckable here. It would've been more straightforward with like, an Atraxa or one more draw seven, but it can clear the way for other lines by being a card they absolutely have to counter. GG's, though!
More broken in cube than Displacer Kitten? People sleep on how broken kitty kat is. Breach is obviously insane... Breach and Brain Freeze are the thinking man's (person's) Kiki Splinter Twin. I really do think Kitten might be more broken than Breach but they are both so broken that it's kind of pointless to argue about. Which one card do anything engine is more broken??
Good to hear Caleb's catchphrase again: "Wait, can i win here?"
And my head answer always the same: "wait, he said win? naah, prob caleb going crazy again"
When I'm playing storm, this has become my favorite intrusive thought.
It's fun to watch you navigate a difficult draft, but it's also nice to sometimes just have an absurd storm deck handed to you like this.
"X is good, but i want to make sure i can cast my spells" - Caleb once every draft

Cutting brain freeze kills high tide, which is a fun archetype. Breach is just breach

Drafting: " all we need is mana here"
Finds consecutive dark rit, cabal rit, Desperate ritual 😅
You drew very well, had excellent opening hands and had literally every piece of the deck. Its hard for breach to not feel over powered when the stars aligned.
Alwats love your V-CUBE vids but so stoked for Algomancy! Can't wait for August.
So glad to hear it! I'm super exited too :)
What a gorgeous showing of vintage cube! Opponents playing too fair for sure!

Very nice to see you drafting storm again after a period of favouring fair decks. More combo please! :)
WOOOOOOOOO HES BACK BABY
(Everyone go play algomancy!)
Glad to see you back playing cube. This deck is absolutely disgusting and I love it.
Thank you for sending me to the void at the end there.
Algomancy translates to "something" -mancy in spanglish. I love that, ileven if unintended
If you made a "best drafts of all time" playlist, I would assume this would be on that list.
I read "broken storm" as "tried to draft it, didn't get there and made a functional pile of junk". But you were basically playing Vintage constructed here :)

GG's, though!
8 minutes in.
'Oh yeah, it's all coming together.'
omg ive been waiting
Caleb what cards would you love to see come to Vintage Cube? Other than chubby dragon of course haha
This deck also, to me, highlighted again how absurd graveyard decks are when there's not a ton of answers to them.
Caleb my whole deck is gas Gannon back at it again.
30:38 I always have fun when u have fun.
Nice video, as always! Kinda tired of storm, but I understand it's your pet deck.
Your finals OP had a different chat text color. Haven't seen that before.
I think it was a wotc employee (I've heard the expression "Thanks worth" before)
@@CalebGannon Same, I tried googling the expression but you can imagine the words "MTG Worth" gives nothing but advertisements lol.
I’ve never seen something so disgusting and beautiful at the same time 😢
maybe the best deck you've ever drafted, at least with the draws you got
are the 3 min at the end intentional? cuz i really thought you were going to lose that last game somehow by looking at the time lol
Will there be a Tubby Dragon in Algomancy?
aha I can definitely make one! But there isn't at the moment. Big fliers sorta go against the design philosophy, especially in the first set.
Nice to see ol' reliable again. There's 3 minutes of black screen at the end, maybe an editing mishap?
yeah just an editing mishap
How did you get your opponents messages to come up as purple?
I think that was a wotc employee
Makes me wonder if underworld breach is power nine power level
Ouh yeah
Caleb... the master of the cube since 2017.. only for real magickers...
More broken in cube than Displacer Kitten? People sleep on how broken kitty kat is. Breach is obviously insane... Breach and Brain Freeze are the thinking man's (person's) Kiki Splinter Twin.
