The Power Floodgates Are Open, And I Am Drinking Deeply

Moxen and Ancestrals for everyone! I'm loving how much power I've been getting, and doing my best to put it to good use.

Thanks for watching!

LSV has been working on the fundamentals of opening good cards, it is really paying off.

We have some of the more ridiculous ends to our matches (failed Eurekas, cloning Pyrogoyfs, multiple Crabominations, Turn 1 Bonehoard Dracosaurs, and big Emperor of Bones finishes). I'm sure you'll get be back sometime this month haha.

I agree Ephemerate isn't strong, but my domain cards didn't come together and I was short on playables. I figured Ephemerate was fine enough with ~7 ETB guys and knowing your team had Bitter Triumph and Fiery Covenant I thought it was slightly better than normal; admittedly it is quite bad with my Containment Priest. Alternative was Tribal Flames and playing Scrubland/Bayou.

That Windswept Heath hate draft was incredibly sharp.

The titles are always so fun. It's impressive to make unique but still distinctly you titles everyday

I've been watching these cube vids since the begining and now finally have to comment: I don't know if anyone has pointed this earlier, but I do like these "pro" cube drafts because the pace of play is really enjoyable. Other content creators who post basically uploads from streams are more boring because the pace of play is sometimes really slow. Even when the board isn't too complex. Love these vids, keep it up :)
Also: I'd like to see more BK. I really enjoy his clear reasoning behind decision making regarding picks+plays.

Complaint equity is at an all time high

hate to see it at 36:00 but glad to know your reactions are the same as mine 😂

Congrats on not cursing - good training there

[roippi]

The quality of r/w creatures nowadays sure is something huh

[LidarMonkey]

drinking up lots of power now that road to worlds is over

Game 2 opponent saw the commenter complaining about the lack of fast red aggro cards in the last video.

[paulhermann]

Have to love BIG RED even when the shoe is on the other foot.

Hey LSV have you ever looked at adding incarnation technique? 5 mana mill 5 then reanimate with the ability to copy it if you give your opponent a copy. So generally a mill 10 and double reanimate end up being very hard to miss wrapped up in a single card.

[romeomargot-picquendar]

It's crazy how powerful new sets have become and how many cube playables we have been getting recently (even excluding MH2). At this point, the Vintage cube is almost a rotating format.

[BloodMoonGo]

New viewer to your channel, what a fun way to learn higher level MTG thought processes

[collardcow]

I’m so excited for that video reviewing the Duskmourn additions with BK, any chance you could bring up why you prefer Path to Unwanted Remake? I really feel that an opponent getting a 2/2 is weaker than them getting +1 land, and the biggest difference between the two is “destroy” instead of “exile”.

Love when new cards fine a home in cube. Balloon Man looks sweet

[jordanmaschio]

I'm sorry; did you say Cube Review with BK? That's going to be like waiting for Christmas!

[SuperbFairy]

Love the content as always, some of those games were brutal to watch god damn, the opponent's top decks really had the yugioh heart of the cards going on

[LizEllwood]

Alright, I just finished the draft so now it's time for a completely unqualified analysis!

The only difference I think I would have made in that would have been Shadowy Backstreet over Lorien Revealed: fixes black for windswept heath, gives a surveil land and imo has a higher ceiling than Lorien Revealed. You said it best when you said "this is going to be a keep your mana up deck" and imo the best way to capitalize on that is to give yourself a surveil and a "turn off" when you have a significant advantage. However, Lorien revealed does make better use of the mana, so in my (unqualified) opinion, I think it's a close pick, but I think that's the only pick I disagree with.

Time to watch the videos, sick deck as always

Edit: Just watched the matches and I'm like 99% certain it actually wouldn't have made a tangible difference

[carcinoGeneticist]

Hey LSV, curious if it has been asked: Would you ever consider doing a one-off draft of the Vintage Cube decklist from say 5, 10 years ago? I think the new cube is still amazing but I have some (perhaps misplaced) nostalgia for the old cube too. Could make for some fun variety content!

[johnnyk]

Woohoo! The superior team cube format: 3v3!
