Watching them squeal like children on Christmas morning really makes me want to draft a cube Actually this just makes me want to draft in person, face to face with people so we can talk and laugh
Pack 1 - 5:00 Pack 2 - 16:45 Pack 3 - 24:53 Ben Dech Tech - 35:25 Round 1 Alex vs Nelson - 53:05 Round 2 Ben vs Kathleen - 1:38:12 Round 3 Cam vs Serge - 2:58:02 Outro and shoutouts - 3:36:50
I loved that first game with Ben and Kathleen, but I was torn when Ben didn't just mill her out with compulsive research. He could have kept recasting it until she ran out of cards. Love ya Ben!!!
Agreed. It's 3 card you have to draft (although if I had to guess there's at least a few other sac outlets and at least finks as far as other persisters go so there's likely redundancy), but only 2 you have to draw. And yeah, you're probably not losing if you assemble preparation+ finks or redcap, which is only 1 card to draw and 2 to draft.
After watching some other youtube channels trying to do drafts I must confess you've really spoiled me. I'm pretty sure you guys have the most professional setup for streaming drafts in the world. Love what you're doing with all this. Also, why does Alex have the wrong art for Condescend?
Oh yeah, I had forgotten all about Alex's love for original printings. I mean, the Fifth Dawn one is fine, but have you seen the art for the Return to Ravnica version? It's one of the best pieces of art in the game.
It isn't in RTR? It has been in 5th Dawn, a couple Duel Decks, and Iconic Masters. Thinking of another card maybe? Syncopate is from RTR and is similar (counter unless opponent pays X, if countered then exile it, but it doesn't scry like Condescend)
Oh wow, you are completely correct. Honestly, I've never been able to keep Syncopate and Condescend apart in my mind. In that case I retract my earlier comment. Alex has the perfect art for Condescend.
For that to be accurate, the *average* value of any single card in the cube would need to be $6257.86. Every card in the cube could be one of the power 9 and *still* not reach that high. Your calculations are wrong by multiple orders of magnitude.
Can we have Nelson and Alex face off in every Friday Night Paper Fight? That's the most entertaining match I've seen since the great Unstable Shahrazad Fiasco of 2017.
the sea gate oracle got played on turn 2, illegally. no one caught it. kathleen played fleshbag, sacrificed itself and ben sac'd the oracle. then ben played baral but regarding the misplays, yeah that was definitely pretty loose
I hope someone let Kathleen know she could of won that first game against Ben a lot sooner if she had not dismembered the Walker and given him thopters to block Ormendahl.
"Do people KNOW they missed line in this casual MTG stream with nothing on the line where they were both very tired and hungry? PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW! I'M GOOD AT MAGIC!"
I love everyone at LRR, but there are definitely some people who I don't enjoy watching play Magic, because the constant mistakes and take-backs and stuff stress me out. That said, no one is perfect, and even pros misplay sometimes!
Came for the cube. Stayed for the fun draft. Coming back forever because Ben's rocking a Protest the Hero shirt :) can I come to Canada for Magic and metal?
You should watch North 100. Its a weekly hour of Serge having his mind blown by lines of play he hasn't thought of before, and being totally fucking stoked about them. It rules.
ben could’ve responded to the exit trigger with Venser and kept a counter lock by bouncing him to hand with Jace, especially with the Tamiyo emblem, also doesn’t seem to remember Glen Elendra has more text on it!! Kathleen’s life total made him sweat too much i feel
Ive never drafted before. Is there a way to draft with 7-6 people? Edit:never mind i just realised they are drafting with 6 in the video... Im kinda dumb.
Wish I had some people to draft my EDH cube -Draft 6 packs instead of 3 -Give the players 3 3 or greater color legendary creatures -Give everyone a sol ring and some mana fixing lands -lets all build a 100 card deck :D
Gotta be honest, the mismatch in card frames is really unsettling to me. 8th with M15 is barely tolerable, but pre-8th doesn't fit with the rest at all. I guess Cube, at least with a mix of old and new cards, isn't for me.
pretty sure they took it down just in case someone wanted to take the vod and upload it themselves. That's what most streamers who upload to TH-cam do.
CrimsiN They specifically don't do this with any other vod than this one, and have stated that this single one was due to tech error. I don't see any reason to assume that they did it intentionally.
You know, Serge, with hiccups if you breathe in as much as possible and hold it, it’ll stop because the diaphragm is forced into the stretched position
Would be good if more thought was put into scheduling for the LLR personalities. Ben and Kathleen spending half their match talking about how hungry/tired they were and how much they couldn't wait to finish so that they could eat made it way less enjoyable to watch.
It's about time we got Pro Tour Alex's Kitchen.
Yeah, don't tease us with Pro Tour Alex's Kitchen in FN without doing it.
4 B 6,1
For the Friday nights og’s
"For the record, nobody noticed that I'm running 58 until just now." *_POWERFUL MAGIC_*
When I saw the title being Alex's cube I thought it is going to be mono red
Sadly I don't think anyone else would want to draft a mono red cube.
My friends and I built a mono red cube. It... kind of came together.
Is it on Cubetutor?
Has His Towel no, and I don’t have the list anymore. I remember some of the archetypes though, including mono red mill
120 Lightning bolts
120 Goblin Guides
120 Chain Lightnings
Watching them squeal like children on Christmas morning really makes me want to draft a cube
Actually this just makes me want to draft in person, face to face with people so we can talk and laugh
Congrats to Alex for making a great cube. Everyone looked like they had a lot of fun which is the most important part.
It made Serge fall in love with him, which is nice.
@@cutecommie Do you think if I made a cube Serge would fall in love with me?

This is the cube list if anyone is interested. tappedout.net/mtg-decks/alex-cube-2017/
Boosting visibility
For me this is the most rewatchable FNPF ever.
You should do a Friday Nights on cam learning about the joys of mono red
Can we please get a cubelist? I can't find the original Twitch VOD of this to search the chat for the list.
I loved that first game with Ben and Kathleen, but I was torn when Ben didn't just mill her out with compulsive research. He could have kept recasting it until she ran out of cards. Love ya Ben!!!
I came to the chat to say exactly this.
My favorite bit is at the very beginning with the storm crow that has actual canadian pesos wrapped around it in a pile full of planeswalkers.
I need all of you to stop being so adorable right now this is illegal
“Did somebody say BALL LIGHTNING?”
Watching Ben play blue reminded me of learning how to play blue. And not in a good way
I feel like y'all grossly undervalued conspiracies. Most if not all are first-pick quality, even in cube, in my experience.
Splinter Twin and Combat Celebrant go infinite.
Agreed. It's 3 card you have to draft (although if I had to guess there's at least a few other sac outlets and at least finks as far as other persisters go so there's likely redundancy), but only 2 you have to draw.
And yeah, you're probably not losing if you assemble preparation+ finks or redcap, which is only 1 card to draw and 2 to draft.
I prefer vizier of remedies, blasting station, redcap

This is the kind of turnaround I'd love to see on this channel. Maybe just for IRL streams since they're the most popular?
It’s the turnaround we intend! We’re working towards it. This one had its VOD go down, so we had to rush it.
I was rooting for the VOD and couldn't find it! Thank you for putting it up!
I read their response in Alex's voice, is this weird.
Lol, I read it in Heather's voice.
Cam on aggro? I don't... I don't understand... everything I know is a lie!
Watching this revelation was a pleasure. "IS THIS WHAT I'VE BEEN MISSING!?"
Drinking game: take a shot every time someone says the word “Alex”
For what it's worth- there is 1 2 card combo in the cube that I saw. Combat Celebrant + Splinter Twin is a 2 card combo
there is something very wrong about Garruk dying to storm crow
Yeah or some random pirate kidnapping a demonlord lol
Bloody hell if Cam v Serge isn't one of my favourite matches in ages
Nelson WHIFFING HARD ON THE AJANI!!!
Cam's joke about Augur of Bolas is actually really funny.
Loving all of the uploads... so much Lrr paper Magic to watch! AFKing from work forever.
After watching some other youtube channels trying to do drafts I must confess you've really spoiled me. I'm pretty sure you guys have the most professional setup for streaming drafts in the world. Love what you're doing with all this.
Also, why does Alex have the wrong art for Condescend?
What wrong art? He has the only correct art, the Fifth Dawn printing, which is the original printing (and what Alex seems to prefer when possible)
Oh yeah, I had forgotten all about Alex's love for original printings. I mean, the Fifth Dawn one is fine, but have you seen the art for the Return to Ravnica version? It's one of the best pieces of art in the game.
It isn't in RTR? It has been in 5th Dawn, a couple Duel Decks, and Iconic Masters. Thinking of another card maybe? Syncopate is from RTR and is similar (counter unless opponent pays X, if countered then exile it, but it doesn't scry like Condescend)
Oh wow, you are completely correct.
Honestly, I've never been able to keep Syncopate and Condescend apart in my mind. In that case I retract my earlier comment. Alex has the perfect art for Condescend.
All good my friendo, and for what its worth, the RTR Syncopate art is sick! (Thought being like Alex, I prefer the OG Odyssey art :P )
I just noticed that Alex put 5 dollars around a storm crow...
I would love the list of all the cards for this cube, it looks rad! :D
Alex! I found a combo in your cube! Combat Celebrant + Splintertwin
It was funny that when this was posted, that I was watching the other Alex's Cube draft
does anyone have a link to the video adam is talking about at 1:12:00 with the double stroke smallpox
Judging by my calculations, this cube is worth CAD$1,783,488.32.
So 300$ USD?
That seems wrong?
Without any power 9? Doubtful.
For that to be accurate, the *average* value of any single card in the cube would need to be $6257.86. Every card in the cube could be one of the power 9 and *still* not reach that high. Your calculations are wrong by multiple orders of magnitude.
@@dontmisunderstand6041 no, I think you forgot to carry the 2 in your calculations. 🤔
One day i wanna see strictly worse cube on a stream
Same it would be funny
Can we have Nelson and Alex face off in every Friday Night Paper Fight? That's the most entertaining match I've seen since the great Unstable Shahrazad Fiasco of 2017.
Don't think I've seen Ben or Kathleen misplay so much. Get some sleep, guys.
Wait what happened In their game 3 with the fleshbag marauder? What was the problem?
the sea gate oracle got played on turn 2, illegally. no one caught it. kathleen played fleshbag, sacrificed itself and ben sac'd the oracle. then ben played baral
but regarding the misplays, yeah that was definitely pretty loose
I hope someone let Kathleen know she could of won that first game against Ben a lot sooner if she had not dismembered the Walker and given him thopters to block Ormendahl.
seeweda that game was hard to watch
They both had the game in the bag at different points and just... welp
I justskipped the match. As much as i like Kathleen she is just horrible at mtg
"Do people KNOW they missed line in this casual MTG stream with nothing on the line where they were both very tired and hungry? PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW! I'M GOOD AT MAGIC!"
I love everyone at LRR, but there are definitely some people who I don't enjoy watching play Magic, because the constant mistakes and take-backs and stuff stress me out. That said, no one is perfect, and even pros misplay sometimes!
Watching you guys draft costs me fucking money! Serge freaks out and I'm like "Wellp...guess I'm buying a got damn giant toad monster!"
Is there a link to the cube?
what is the list for this cube?
Thanks for getting this posted so fast! :)
This is my 10th time watching this and still love every moment!!
love the protest the hero shirt. good shit
Came for the cube. Stayed for the fun draft. Coming back forever because Ben's rocking a Protest the Hero shirt :) can I come to Canada for Magic and metal?
You can play lands exiled with Nightveil Specter. It says “play,” not “cast.” (This also allows the Specter to steal from off-color decks.)
Is there any way we can see the list that was posted in the chat? I'm really curious to see what the full card pool for this magical monstrosity is!
The next Friday night video should be Cam and Alex playing the mono red cube
I literally paused the video to reread worldknit. Bold choice, friend.
I died at "I got kids to feed"
Does anyone have the link to the cube list?
Nelson took Worldknit and offered to deckbuild on camera??
Hostage Taker stealing Kitesail Freebooter was very on-flavor... since they're both pirates
the serge gentleman sure likes talking, and talking, about how much he loves everything ever :)
You should watch North 100. Its a weekly hour of Serge having his mind blown by lines of play he hasn't thought of before, and being totally fucking stoked about them. It rules.
"Blue black control... just like Arena." -Kathleen
Is there a link to Alex's cube list?
I think this is it. tappedout.net/mtg-cube-drafts/alexs-toolkit/
OMG wait is that the North 100 Sunforger from Liam?! LOL
Kathleen playing Highlander? Now I KNOW it's April Fool's Day.
For the people who didnt get to this point before looking in the comments. DID SOMEONE SAY BALL LIGHTNING???
ben could’ve responded to the exit trigger with Venser and kept a counter lock by bouncing him to hand with Jace, especially with the Tamiyo emblem, also doesn’t seem to remember Glen Elendra has more text on it!! Kathleen’s life total made him sweat too much i feel
Ive never drafted before. Is there a way to draft with 7-6 people?
Edit:never mind i just realised they are drafting with 6 in the video... Im kinda dumb.
Seeing Cam getting high on the good ol' mono red is great.
I honestly thought this was going to be a mono cube
why was that pack full of planeswalkers
Cam's deck name was perfect.
What a fun upload, great job Alex
Can I have a list to the cube like maybe on cube tutor if there is one
Where can I get that mana display cradle thing?
God imagine if combat Celebrant and splinter twin were in the same deck
Nelson should be playing Islands instead of Plains. They're strictly better.
I would use wastelands to tilt them all the way
Plainswalk is the least common landwalk so it was probably a tactical decision.
Mark Harland additionally islandwalk is the most common
@@markharland2459 Bullshit, plainswalk is the only landwalk that's still evergreen. Just look at War of the Spark, it has 37 Plainswalkers.
Watching Ben and Kathleen was painful.
Dismembering the Hangarback was so awful
Where can we find the list of this cube ???
2:14:30 Ben doesn't activate Jace this turn and also doesn't seem to realize he has an emblem active...
Jace's "Brainstorm" ability is 0 loyalty
Can we get a link to the cube cardlist?
1:59:47 - "I just grabbed this demon prince and suddenly it's a church!"
hey alex, is squee, the immortal in your cube?
Making a prediction: someone’s gonna get jund’d on
cameron and ben switched bodys
Where can I find the link to the list?
Ah, the "kingdom of cards" era.
Cameron Lauder? On MY archetype? It's more likely than you think.
Did Cam just quote Adam Ant? 3h10m42s
Wish I had some people to draft my EDH cube
-Draft 6 packs instead of 3
-Give the players 3 3 or greater color legendary creatures
-Give everyone a sol ring and some mana fixing lands
-lets all build a 100 card deck :D
Where is the deck list?
Can I get a cube list? link?
Game 2 Ben and Kathleen, he had the four norsemen of the apocalypse.
Gotta be honest, the mismatch in card frames is really unsettling to me. 8th with M15 is barely tolerable, but pre-8th doesn't fit with the rest at all.
I guess Cube, at least with a mix of old and new cards, isn't for me.
I made a custom vintage cube with all modern card frames because I had the same problem
i just made my 1800 card cube gold bordered and old bordered even the planechase style cards
0:45 is that Beej I hear laughing maniacally in the background?
Absolutely it is!
Watched the whole thing At work! Good games fun draft.
I love that this hit TH-cam so fast... but why is there no twitch VOD?
Tech problems meant that the Twitch VOD just went away after the stream, hence the fast turnover on getting it to youtube.
pretty sure they took it down just in case someone wanted to take the vod and upload it themselves. That's what most streamers who upload to TH-cam do.
CrimsiN They specifically don't do this with any other vod than this one, and have stated that this single one was due to tech error. I don't see any reason to assume that they did it intentionally.
1:29:08 "that's the combo with lab maniac" :(
Anyone got a cube list?
Adam said what he said with very little chicanery... I think he might actually be living there
You know, Serge, with hiccups if you breathe in as much as possible and hold it, it’ll stop because the diaphragm is forced into the stretched position
games start at 53:04
Well this will be my journey home...
Would be good if more thought was put into scheduling for the LLR personalities. Ben and Kathleen spending half their match talking about how hungry/tired they were and how much they couldn't wait to finish so that they could eat made it way less enjoyable to watch.
i think the audio is out of sync. it feels like a couple of frames faster than the motion.
TrueHippy I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt that. Seems to happen fairly often on the afk streams
before i watch this is it mono red?
