With the newer cards in the cube beefing up creature archtypes, midrange in a couple different color combinations became pretty viable. The hand attack of black paired with aggressive or value generating red or white threats tends to do quite well.
Oh man this deck advancing to top 8 was quite the scam! 😂. No offense I'm a fan of Reid but it felt like the draft portion could have gone better for sure.
I'm pretty sure you don't play against other people in your pod, so all the comments about "another mardu drafter in the pod" and stuff doesn't matter.
Reid can you explain how MTGO had 2k active players on cube but somehow jumped to 3k today when the game ends in 5 days? That's a 50%!! Inflated numbers? 😅
Reid's opponent has the perfect reaction in text at 1:28:27, lol.
What a stunning last game! So efficient
Nothing cooler than seeing Reid take down vintage cube with Mardu of all things. Hope you get some power in the finals!
Spoiler alert 😑

I like how I saw LSV's favorite land deck floating around Zuran/Crucible/Crop/Academy/Fastbond+draw 7's. Thanks for the matches!
Shout out to the Palantir at 16:40. I think that card should at least be on your radar. It definitely would have made the cut for your deck.
Yeah, I was surprised to not even have him mention it. Is pretry powerful in a vacuum but especially in the deck with 2 reanimation spells and a kroxa
holy crap, what a great series of games. Reid is so fun to watch. thanks for the vid.
16:32 palantir would be insane in this deck!
Always dig some Cube content! Thanks Reid!
Always love seeing Reid playing tight! Great games!
in that last match even through damnation you still could have escaped kroxa or flash back looting, discard mutt and unearth it
Why couldn't op up the sleeper with the black and use the red to cast thoughtseize off robber?
I think they both just missed it 🤷
Very nice set, i enjoyed ❤
The spirit of modern jund lives on in vintage cube.
I would like Zealous Conscript with Recurring Nightmare. Wishclaw probably has a lot of potentials to complete combos.
I'm not even through pack 1 but man seeing Zuran Orb > Crucible go around twice made me sad.
thanks for the content Reid!
After modern and legacy, scam taking over yet another format

You could have played slower to go back in time.

I think how this event works is that you play against your pod, and then the winner of each of the eight pods form a new pod for round 2.
Scam? About time you finally admit this game is rigged! Finally!
