just got back from my prerelease. Had a just very solid g/r dino deck. Inti was my only bomb. went 3-0. Of all my cards the one that surprised me the most was that 3/1 haste gnome. That card did work. Got some hits in himself, traded very well when equipped, giving my big dino's haste later and being an artifact to craft with.
Ah, a truly classic case of putting together a cool, synergistic deck with a streamlined game plan out of commons and uncommons aaand then just getting absolutely bodied by a bunch of busted rares. The deck was really sweet though; just wish we'd gotten to see some more of it.
I have to admit, I am pretty low on this set for a few reasons but it looked really fun to draft. I am looking forward to a few more videos of this set.
Wow, good to know how well the treasure deck seems to work, it's cieling is high! I really enjoyed the pivot in this draft...looks like a much better deck than the Red/Black frame. Also, seems to confirm to me that the "If you've Descended this turn" seems a bit more consistent than Descend 4, and especially Descend 8. At least aggressively....the slower mill-based draft I saw felt really...flat.
Great video as always. It’s interesting to see you try to figure out a new format. I was wondering, what is your favorite time to draft a new format? Is it in the beginning when you don’t know how it plays, or more when you’re familiar with all the cards and how they play?
Heard lots of players attempt "Dinotomaton" so far and I think WotC tried to get a bit too cute with the name, haha. But it's a dinosaur automaton, so "dine-uh-tom-uh-tahn".
The land slot in paper draft is a cave sometimes (actually more often than not), so it's actually relevant to the draft in this format. Same thing happened in MOM where the land slot was a life-gain dual sometimes.
I love your arena drafts so much. Please don’t stop doing them a few days after set release!
Sucks for LSV to go another draft without opening power
Hate to see it
Lmao I’m desd
Your dastardly deluge of Cube Content has ruined me for other limited formats 😂
I was so disappointed when I saw this as the daily upload. I just expect LSV’s daily upload to be vintage cube and look forward to it.
Vintage is boring
I'm actually ass at drafting prerelease because I'm not nearly as good at cars evaluation in that situation vs cube so thanks for explaining the picks

I did not expect you to end up with 10 treasures in your mono red deck. Wild stuff, awesome as always.
Did he never draw Inti in any of those games? Shame, that card is pretty insane.
I know your vintage cube videos are popular, but MTG arena is so much easier to watch for me! Love this vid
44:26 HAHA the whip! I died laughing!!
Loved his whip with no whip lol

What are the reasons?
When LSV got the Diamond Pickaxe, I was really hoping he would also pull the aura that animates it. Maybe some other time it will happen.
Sunshot Militia with those treasures is insane

Really underwhelmed by Inti, Seneschal of the Sun, I can't recall a single game it had any impact...
Love the daily vintage cube videos but I'm hoping the format turns out good enough so we get more draft content whether it's on Arena or MTGO.

My guess would be at the Pro Tour after he's felt like he's done all of his homework and mastered the format.
Let the games begin 🎉
I don't give you the thumbs up in every video cause I like you... I give it to you cause I learn... But I also like you 😉
I'm calling it for Captain Storm being the mythic uncommon. Any of the first 3 games it would have dominated

yeah, definitely one of the clunkier portmanteaus they've used.
Pretty obvious how it's supposed to be said, unless you've never heard automaton before.
Dyno-tah-muh-tawn
I mean, Dino Tomato is a pretty good fallback.
It literally says Dino Tomato too, if you're willing to strategically ignore one letter
Question: would a role token trigger descend?
it would not tokens don't trigger descend
I'm surprised that LSV didn't just do what the first person did and draft "Mono Rares" 😅❤
What first person?
@@lesrestall807 *First OP
@@TheDylls I don't think they picked up 23 rares bro
Im getting Zendikar vibes 😁
32:30 legalize megrim in modern!
I had 10 extended decks that don't exist anymore and megrim was my favorite of them lol
Let's gooooooo
Why is basic land in draft?
Because of the full arts they are considered part of the 15

Engagement
Opponents were playing only rares I see
Nope, watch carefully bro
Is Anim Pakal only a rare? I'm already annoyed by how much it steals the game if it's unchecked.
Who would have thought that Adeline 2.0 would be a busted card? Just what I wanted, Wizards, thank you. /s
Play 6 games without drawing your pack 1 pick 1 a single time. Classic Arena.
Well that just happens in any form of magic bro
Go.
Vintage and mtgo better!!! 💪🏽
Ooof, hard to watch Arena after so many years of playing and watching MTGO content.
Wow never knew it could be so hard to watch a video I mean come on bro show some respect
Well I came for the cube but ok
