I just caught this thinking it was recent, since vintage cube is coming back this week. Still enjoyable to see your perspective. I think I would add a few cards to the tier 3 set of cards, below the planeswalkers. Laelia the Blade Reforged in particular is pretty busted. If they don't answer before your next turn, it just snowballs into both a win con and such massive card advantage. Urza's Saga, Fable of the Mirror Breaker would also be up there for me. I'd also put Solitude and Fury up there. The flexibility of pitch casting them or just casting them normally, and the potential of putting them into a blink value deck gives a lot of low opportunity cost, instant speed interaction. I also think green ramp can be ok, but it's better if you're ramping not to big creatures but to good value/busted cards like Planeswalkers, Fractured Identity, ant they do have really nice synergy with Skullclamp. I like the point about just having a good value deck that just adds in a busted combo for cheating wins/inevitability.
I love this cube so much, some of most fun I’ve ever had, please give it a try if you haven’t yet (just proxy) Great video explaining the cube! I love this content
@@Ljrobison I basically removed red from it as it kind of didn't function as a color, there's so much mana fixing that having red/white (etc) cards still worked. mono red is basically aggro and that ended up being kind of useless.
Just finished my FEDEX proxy trip! 43 bucks to print the whole MTGO Vintage Cube!!! Gonna see if I can get some ppl interested in drafting at the LGS! Such a good list to learn about MTG history!
thxs, lots of good comments on specific cards as well as general tips for drafting and understanding the cube format
Vingage Cube yeaah! Thanks Alex, your in-depth analysis reignited the spark of Vintage Cube in me.
Pointing out that a turn two time walk is basically an explore is very interesting I never thought about that
Thank you so much :)!! Great explanations, wasn't too long or too short!

Sweet!! Good luck!
why arent u displaying cards u are talking about? If the timewalk combo needs ephemerate, why is it not on the picture like the other cards?
Also note that Atraxa is better reanimate target than archon.
got absolutely destroyed by my buddy's vintage cube atraxa reanimator deck the other day, definitely this is true
Looks like a great video but think the name is wrong?
Thanks! Fixed
Only thing you forgiot to explain is what cube draft is and how to play it... but who needs that in a how to play video for beginners?
You can Google it you got this!
