Man pack one had a perfect reanimator deck in it: burried alive, reanimate, shallow grave, animate dead and massacre wurm as a decent creature to bring back.
It’s about time I have been eagerly awaiting this for a while now yesss This is like second Christmas fuck yes LSV drafting storm in vintage cube hell yea! Well sorta storm
It has been some time since I noticed a slight difference between audio and video sync. The video is slightly delayed in relation to the audio. Anyways, great draft as always
The downside of playing islands is that sometimes you have four Islands in hand. The upside to playing Islands is that sometimes you have four Islands in hand and it's sweet.
@ThisIsMyRealName shroud is strictly worse, and IMO is a worse design. No other keyword has drawbacks in the way Shroud does, which is why Hexproof is evergreen and Shroud is not.
No, shroud is much better design because it's symmetrical. Hexproof is obviously more powerful, but in a way that really isn't fun or useful. Shroud teaches you lots about how MtG works. You can't equip or enchant the creature but you can use a Crusade or whatever. And it teaches the same lesson on the other side. You can't bolt or pacify but you can wrath or just block it. Hexproof loses half of that and is just strictly better, but without the nuance. Especially in the modern era of magic, where original wrath is never in standard, hexproof feels much less fair.
I have to ask, since I've never seen anyone going into the u/r/b storm direction picking any of the following cards, why doesn't anyone take Guttersnipe or Young Pyromaner as an additional win condition or at least for the sideboard? People struggle to get to a storm count of 10+ for Tendrils or Freeze, wouldn't Guttersnipe be a good optional win condition?
Lsv has (on stream) used young p as a win con. Lsv also says it's not about the win con, aslong as you have a way to win, instead focus on mana and card draw.
I agree with the two other arguments above me, but another reason is that guttersnipe needs to be played before trying to go off. Usually, the storm deck doesn't have tendrils in hand at the start of the turn going off, but leads off with mana/draw/tutor cards and then playing e.g. tendrils. Using Guttersnipe as wincon means that you will need to have the card in play before doing all that, which means you played it the turn before in which case it would likely die or have to commit 3 mana on casting it on the same turn(which can be a problem before rituals). So it is a bit awkward.
In one of Gaby's videos he talks about why Guttersnipe is often a trap for storm. If you're storming off for 8+, which is likely what Snipe needs to win, you've likely already won. Obviously the exception is if Brainfreeze is your only win-con and they have OG Eldrazi Titans in their deck you might need to have an out, but a 3 mana dork that will be one of your few targets for removal that needs to be played the turn before you storm off is often just better being an enabler for the storm itself.
think he got psyched out on his mana base; not getting easy black mana. Storm is sooooo much easier when you can turn your brain off and just Yawg Will another 8 spells. and I would have taken the Jiki, because I had Seething Song already
Watching the times lsv forces combo in cube, taking fragile combo pieces over generically good cards always punishes decks so hard. the deck was durdle and storm was a trap. The only good cards in the deck were generic blue cards, definitely should have been a blue good stuff deck
I think drafts are most interesting when people draft to win, not when they force something right out of the gate. If they do that it can go horribly wrong, and that's just no fun to watch at all.
New Vintage Cube is FULL OF JANK. The odds of not being able to draft a decent deck at all is about 10%. Maybe I've had a bad streak but 5 draft in a row? No thanks... These new cards are useless.
47Mortuus I could understand your first comment but the second makes no sense. LSV has been on CFB for years but the fact that now he promotes CFB once in a blue moon is somehow making his videos unwatchable? What did you expect on CFB's (which, as all shops, is ultimately meant to make money) UA-cam channel? SCG ads?
Filip Tryhuk LSV usually never does it. CFB just, in general, flooded their recent videos with new, disgusting marketing tricks ;) And yes; CFB wants to make money. But how, mostly? By buying and selling. Nice. Very beneficial to society. Not a subhuman way of scamming, nononono. And you cannot get expensive cards for a fourth of CFB's prices everywhere else on average (other hoarders don't count... I know; the U.S. MTG market is dominated by hoarders like CFB, SCG, KKD, TCG etc.), nonononono (irony). ... which makes what Paul M wrote even worse... I mean, everybody can have their own moral code, but don't expect other people not to judge it.
That Hamilton "and it would be enough!" Made my day lol
LSV: Commentating. LSV: *sees high tide so he stops talking* LSV: realizes he stopped talking so he continues
Im a simple man i see LSV is drafting holiday cube i click
crazycid &t-baggins cube is my favorite constructed format by far. I like watching cool powerful spells resolve, and cube does that best
"I'm not trying to force blue in every draft. It's not that simple."
Um, yes Luis. The numbers speak for themselves. It really is that simple.
I wonder if, people see LSV in the draft pod and avoid storm :/
I was so happy when you made those last minute changes
Man pack one had a perfect reanimator deck in it: burried alive, reanimate, shallow grave, animate dead and massacre wurm as a decent creature to bring back.
It’s about time I have been eagerly awaiting this for a while now yesss
This is like second Christmas fuck yes LSV drafting storm in vintage cube hell yea! Well sorta storm
I waited so long for this video.
Really.
So happy you’re back on cube!!!
Well there it was the Non-Storm Storm Deck
Dont listen to the haters, I love your blue decks!!
Yet I fail to undertand why you cut the brain freeze in the end, it was like your best win con.
It has been some time since I noticed a slight difference between audio and video sync. The video is slightly delayed in relation to the audio.
Anyways, great draft as always

audio is off *again*
I keep hearing LSV's washing machine and wondering who's doing laundry in my house....
I think with two draw sevens you MUST play lions eye diamond
cant equip inkwell with lightning greaves

lol, while he was drafting i was wondering how on earth this is gonna work out and what a wizard LSV must be. well, funny result.
After Upheaval and Brain Freeze I might have gone for Mirari's Wake, just for fun.
In cube, you don't force storm, storm force you.
What am I hearing? The dryer?
Why does he only draft blue
Have you ever drafted a deck without blue?
Is this Draft real life? This is almost Jeleva Storm
Bcdeano That was my first thought as well. It's not often that you find another competitive EDH player on UA-cam.
audio is a tad early

Guttersnipe works. Unless your opponent happens to have removal, which they weren't going to be able to use on anything else.
Lsv has (on stream) used young p as a win con. Lsv also says it's not about the win con, aslong as you have a way to win, instead focus on mana and card draw.

16:05 LSV straight up with them Hamilton references
This is what happens when you’re indecisive in cube and trying to go in multiple directions.
LSV with the surprise blue draft.
jfc tendrils last pick
audio out of sync... again
It's a lil bit sad that LSV has a daughter named naya, but he only plays one of those colors...
Children inherit half their colours from the mother.
yay lsv :)
Have not read any comments, video paused at 0:00...I'll bet my life its blue...
Yay broken stuff!
YAY
Doing some laundry eh?
In my house its holiday cude day every day.
but...it was swiss draft? doesn't that mean..you know..3 full rounds regardless of...oh well. whatever.
think he got psyched out on his mana base; not getting easy black mana. Storm is sooooo much easier when you can turn your brain off and just Yawg Will another 8 spells. and I would have taken the Jiki, because I had Seething Song already
I WONDER WHAT COLOR(s) LSV WILL DRAFT THIS TIME
LUIS STORM VARGAS
31:45 10/10
Shocker. Blue
Watching the times lsv forces combo in cube, taking fragile combo pieces over generically good cards always punishes decks so hard. the deck was durdle and storm was a trap. The only good cards in the deck were generic blue cards, definitely should have been a blue good stuff deck
Not sure why but your clicking in this video was really annoying. Other than that a great video.
2nd pick Brain Freeze = stopped watching
So disappointed
I know the LSV "wincons are overrated" philosophy but come on...
I have been retro-watching LSV cube drafts, his descriptions are great but yuck, so much storm. Take an Emrakul for once.
Next time commit to not playing blue. It’d be more interesting
In what way?
Ethan Gilworth and apparently if you do draft blue you get your ass handed to you. Case in point...
Chano the Kidd glad I’m not the only one who actually watched the video. This blue deck was not good
I just 7-1'ed with Mardu control so....
I think drafts are most interesting when people draft to win, not when they force something right out of the gate. If they do that it can go horribly wrong, and that's just no fun to watch at all.
Draft a bad deck, get punished. No surprise there.
New Vintage Cube is FULL OF JANK.
The odds of not being able to draft a decent deck at all is about 10%.
Maybe I've had a bad streak but 5 draft in a row? No thanks... These new cards are useless.
Oh no ... LSV has started to promote CFB... I'm gonna stop watching now...
47Mortuus I could understand your first comment but the second makes no sense. LSV has been on CFB for years but the fact that now he promotes CFB once in a blue moon is somehow making his videos unwatchable? What did you expect on CFB's (which, as all shops, is ultimately meant to make money) UA-cam channel? SCG ads?
I'm pretty sure LSV has some ownership stake in CFB....so....
Filip Tryhuk
LSV usually never does it. CFB just, in general, flooded their recent videos with new, disgusting marketing tricks ;)
And yes; CFB wants to make money. But how, mostly? By buying and selling. Nice. Very beneficial to society. Not a subhuman way of scamming, nononono. And you cannot get expensive cards for a fourth of CFB's prices everywhere else on average (other hoarders don't count... I know; the U.S. MTG market is dominated by hoarders like CFB, SCG, KKD, TCG etc.), nonononono (irony).
... which makes what Paul M wrote even worse... I mean, everybody can have their own moral code, but don't expect other people not to judge it.
Isn't it better that LSV is supported by his own business than shilling some random shady company that he knows nothing about?
