Time To Go Broken (Or Die Trying) | Vintage Cube Draft

It's been a while since I've gone hard into combo - let's see how it goes when I do!

Thanks for watching!

Kappa Cannoneer low key one of the best cards in the deck. That card has been really good for me.
A shame LSV didn’t play the cannoneer earlier in game 1, he could have copied it with reflection and most likely alpha striked with unblockable.

I think the coolest thing about these videos is how much everyone has a playstyle, or set of cards that people know they love. Sandy is the mono white player, LSV wants to take Academy, JBro wants to draft some green red based aggro deck, blue white control is literally Cheons.

1:32:40 that's a super hot play. Like, mind blowingly techy

You mentioned putting in a forest for haywire mite. You could've put in dryad arbor + it works with skullclamp

[NatePrawdzik]

This one was a good case for the premise that no matter how good you are, it's just not possible to consistently both be an entertaining narrator and play flawlessly at the same time.

31:29 you could win by: just play island, then kappa cannoneer for one blue and tap 5 artifacts. Then just copy it with reflection of kiki. It comes into play with haste and is a 5/5 after giving itself a counter, then play zuran orb making 2 sharks (with the orb for 3 counters), making Kappa 8/8, then chrome Mox for 2 more sharks (with the mox itself for 3 more) makes kappa 11//11, then brain freeze makes 2 more sharks puts him up to 13/13, then cast wheel of fortune for 2 more sharks 15/15. Then go to attacks, and attack with everything, the 15/15 unblockable hasty kappa cannoneer token, the goblin shaman token, both seedsharks, the trinket mage, and syr ginger which is 6/4 after sacrificing the treasure earlier. Then you get another treasure from goblin which gives kappa another counter and syr too after sacrificing it.

He can only make 2 more fliers to chump both seedsharks, and the one servo he has can chump trinket, zirda blocks goblin shaman, and just the 4/4 is left to block Syr, so 3 points of trample get through plus the 16/16 unblockable kappa makes 19 points of damage and he’s at 17.

Loved the brainstorm play in the second match and well done playing around it (unknowingly). Most players would probably just pass the turn (I'm 90% sure I would) but you didn't.

spinning the wheels, but no gas, a lsv special

[ReiHost]

Why weren't you using the Reflection to make skullclamp targets that die and then draw you cards no matter their starting toughness?

[g.n.s.]

I was messing around with Retrofitter in the Arena Cube last night actually. It’s a little better than it used to be with the generally lower cost spells and whatnot but my god that card is good.

[andymion]

Wow, Dustin Stern. Nothing brings the old timers out like some cube.

[tannermattingly]

I don't really understand your dislike for Crucible in the Academy decks when you have Zuran Orb. Being able to tap Tolarin Academy, sacrifice it, and tapping it again gets you near immediately to "infinite" mana without even needing too much additional setup. Even just bringing Tolarian Academy from making two mana to four mana for a turn can give you an early power play.

[ouiouifrenchbred]

I wonder if Forensic Gadgeteer would be a good addition to the cube...

[cptfairgraves]

Can you, at 1:10:00 activate the ability of Reckoner Banbuster after you declare blockers to still draw a card before it dies?

Ignore this. I just realized that crewing it obviously turns it into a creature, thus it is affected by summoning sickness, idk why i missed that.

[EbolaMuffins]

Gotta give Karn the respect he only so slightly deserves 😡😂

[SessionalSalmon]

I’m curious to get your thoughts on this. If pack 3 had a mox emerald, would you take that or Academy?

[Semnyi]

@LSV could you make a video talking about the artwork and trophies in your background? thanks for all the great content

[yu-djinn]

I feel like most times Luis neglects the forces, when it’s a viable pick, it backfires somehow

[BetaJim]

chrome moxing the Wheel away I think was terrible. Yes, it didn't look like you would be able to resolve it through dovin's veto but getting rid of it yourself just lets him veto something else instead. Also you couldn't use the mana for anything. I also think there was an argument to brainfreezing the turn after he cast dig simply because it didn't seem like he found the combo which means it was very likely you'd mill it but would have to decide if you could beat the board. So not sure if it was right, but should have been considered.

[christeralmond]

It looks like these zero-interaction do-nothing draw-7 decks aren't that great, especially since the opponent can have Sheoldred, Bowmasters or some other hosers in their deck. Also skipping that Force of Negation (interaction) for a mediocre artifact seemed way too greedy.
