What an absolute banger. Been playing MTG for over 20yrs, and I LOVE watching LSV construct decks and play lines I know I couldn't personally ever pull together. This draft was the epitome of that. Beautiful.
This was MtG at it’s finest. An absolute joy to watch. Thank you Luis, for all you’ve done for Magic through all these years. Your love for the game is truly captivating. Cheers!
@lsv There *has* to be a win at 36:30. Something like: put troll + swamp back. upkeep mystical for dark ritual, play island, dark ritual into doomsday. Put thassa's oracle, FoW, preordain + 2 other cards back, order doesn't matter. play LED, crack play echo. By this point, your GY is: doomsday, LED, island. you have UU up. if they exile the LED, you draw down to exactly 0 cards in deck, and have oracle + FoW in hand. So it's better for the opp not to exile LED. If opp doesn't exile LED, then we draw down to 1 random card in deck. Here we could also, have oracle + FoW in hand and have an easy win, but if we're unlucky, the last card is oracle. So we play LED, tap blue, play ponder, crack LED for UUU, and play oracle with 0 cards in deck. i think it's a guaranteed win if the opponent doesn't interact, and in many lines, its even guaranteed with FoW in hand.
What an absolutely insane deck. There are some combos that are actually weirdly easy to pull off in cube thanks to the 40-card deck, but I never thought I would see a complete doomsday thassa's oracle deck in this format
Just the other day we saw him complain about opening a Black Lotus that was passed to Cheon. Gotta call that bluff LSV, we have seen ya complain about opening moxen.
Watching you figure out the doomsday plays reminds me why my CEDH doomsday deck gets left behind most of the time... TOO MUCH TIME THINKING ABOUT DOOMSDAY 🤣 GREAT DRAFT ALL TOGETHER, REALLY ENJOYED THIS ONE! 👍💯
This... is an insane Doomsday deck. Not hitting any Island/Swamp really hurt this one, but otherwise it has all the things. Casting Life from the Mox is also just *chef's kiss*
I get that all of the older 4+ mana cards have fallen off a considerable amount. But I'm pretty sure the death of Treachery has been greatly overstated. The card's not a bomb anymore, but it's still among the best of the 5 drops for any midrange deck. I have it ranked very near to the blue Goldspan Dragon.
At 59:10, we don’t have to give up on Thought Scour for the turn. We can cast it in response to Esper Sentinel, and Esper Sentinel won’t tax either spell (since it wasn’t in play for Thought Scour, and first spell had already been cast for Contagion).
Long gone are the days of shoddy mic and audio quality. Just wanted to shout out how much the production quality has shot up since the start of the channel! Love the daily content, great work LSV!
Awesome draft that was really fun to watch. I’ve honestly gotten absurdly unlucky in drafts… I’ve had some bangers brewing and next thing I know I can’t find a way to kill anyone. Sigh. I’ll keep trying! :P
Can we get a Top 5 Doomsday Decks video? I know there aren't any other Doomsday videos, you can just loop this one 5 times. I'd watch it all the way through, this draft was so good.
Starting off the year with a combo deck ready for the compilation in december in 12 months. Awesome deck love the doomsdays, gifts ungiven style decks etc. where you really get to think hard.
Also top 8d this 64 and was really looking forward to the chance of playing you - ended up losing the first round to thief_of_crowns on a crazy deck… curious if ill see it in p2
Yay Doomsday and we didn't need a stipulation draft. Would love to see some stipulation drafts, within reason. Aetherflux for instance is fun, and you've won with it in a non stipulation draft or two. (Ofc stipulation couldn't apply to team drafts) ask chat or do a poll if you're not streaming. It'd be fun....
this is a work of art. decades of skill refined to one insane draft pile. lsv is a madman.
This has got to be an all timer, so many edge of your seat moments.
Such a crazy game 1. Best and most timely Brainstorm in all of history.
that brainstorm gave me heartburn
The whiplash was real!
The GOAT of brainstorms. So sweet especially with LSV accepting his fat only to have the tables turn completely after the brainstorm lol.
Very much, "call an ambulance... But not for me" vibes

LSV literally jumped out of his chair when that Mystical Tutor wheeled.
And the Contagion 15th pick right afterward that comes in clutch in match 3! Truly a blessed draft.
You're one of the world's finest combo players; this was a treat to watch.
This is honestly completely nuts to make Doomsday work in cube.

This has to be one of the coolest decks he’s drafted.
I suppose this marks the first and only time LSV drafts Academy and retrofitter, but cuts them.
Stomp not going to the graveyard so you can kill Tarmogoyf is so cute.
What an absolutely insane deck. There are some combos that are actually weirdly easy to pull off in cube thanks to the 40-card deck, but I never thought I would see a complete doomsday thassa's oracle deck in this format
That Brainstorm at 30:15 is just perfect!
Piloting Doomsday is hard enough in constructed, so making it work in cube is awesome!
In constructed there's a lot more interaction to play around, especially if you drafted the Force of Will yourself.
Thassa's Oracle makes doomsday piles a lot easier to navigate.
Piloting doomsday can be done by the shitstain left by my roommate this morning. The deck is piss easy
@@dingdongs5208bro chill
@@dingdongs5208 You doing alright, friend?
This was possibly the most fun deck I've ever watched you draft. The games were close, technical, and exciting.
This was an extreme delight to watch, just beautiful
Me: thinking LSV is talking so fast he chokes.
LSV: "Mystical is back?" 14:38
I've watched every LSV cube video and this is easily the best and most memorable to date GGs
This was one of few videos i didn't watch in the background while doing something else.
I enjoyed every minute of it, great stuff
Spicy deck. You know when tolarian gets cut and the “worst” mox helps him clear oko it’s gonna be a fun ride.
1st video of yours I watched this year and it's an absolute banger!
God this deck was so sick. So glad it came together
Youre a genius, and thank you for letting us join the ride…this was great
“I’m not going to complain about getting a mox” he says 😂
I’m guessing he says this while complaining about getting a Mox.
@@Anusien you are correct 😀
Just the other day we saw him complain about opening a Black Lotus that was passed to Cheon.
Gotta call that bluff LSV, we have seen ya complain about opening moxen.
“No one else is Yawg Will-ing. I feel like we kinda deserve it! Haha, no we don’t. No one deserves anything.” - LSV, 2024 19:40
Not the puns we need, but the puns we deserve.
Wow, this is my favourite LSV video in a long time. Great plays, edge of the seat action.
When the p1p1 mox isnt in the thumbnail, you know the deck is good.
I did, I enjoyed watching that. Very well played, and your narration through your choices and plays added to....my time well spent.
The most technical, sickest, deck you've ever drafted. I hope you win it all with this masterpiece.
By far the best cube draft you uploaded XD I was waiting for Doomsday to shine :D Keep it up! And good luck today for the top 8!!
This deck was sweet and the matches were even better. So satisfying. Can’t wait for the next one.
Those Doomsday rips were truly mental but you piloted the deck to perfection!
Holy Bananas what a DRAFT DECK! Seems like you are the only one who could make such a thing happen. Congrats
Rule 1: If there is a Preordain, LSV will pick it. 😁
Actually said out loud "this is *nuts*" while watching the combo off the first two times, it's so great to watch.
This is my favorite deck you’ve ever drafted.

Mystical wheels and I've never been more excited for a deck
Dang... Thassa's Oracle stole everyone's shiny ball today. Sweet deck!
Wow i love watching people play Solitaire.
Every match was crazy 🤯
that 14th pick mystical was unreal. Made the entire deck (after recall)
I get that all of the older 4+ mana cards have fallen off a considerable amount. But I'm pretty sure the death of Treachery has been greatly overstated. The card's not a bomb anymore, but it's still among the best of the 5 drops for any midrange deck. I have it ranked very near to the blue Goldspan Dragon.
I agree, except that being among the best 5 drops is the problem - 5 drops aren’t good anymore for the most part
Yeeees dude this is why I subscribe to you man. Thank you for the top tier content.
It does not get better than this! Sick deck and sick games!
At 59:10, we don’t have to give up on Thought Scour for the turn. We can cast it in response to Esper Sentinel, and Esper Sentinel won’t tax either spell (since it wasn’t in play for Thought Scour, and first spell had already been cast for Contagion).
@lsv you sir are a well articulated and skilled scholar of fine cardboard. Making dd and piloting it to 3-0 in cube is just 👩🍳kiss!
That was a sick draft and great games! Been waiting for Doomsday to make the cut. 👌🏻
Definitely one of my favorite combo decks that LSV has ever drafted
This was an absolute masterclass in how to draft vintage cube and play magic.
Long gone are the days of shoddy mic and audio quality. Just wanted to shout out how much the production quality has shot up since the start of the channel! Love the daily content, great work LSV!
Awesome draft that was really fun to watch. I’ve honestly gotten absurdly unlucky in drafts… I’ve had some bangers brewing and next thing I know I can’t find a way to kill anyone. Sigh. I’ll keep trying! :P
Game one was crazy! I didn't think that doomsday would be a real thing in cube, but you showed me.
If LSV can play Stormless Storm and Zero Wincon Academy then he can make Doomsday work
@lostalone9320 very true. Give LSV an academy and he'll figure out a way to win.
vintage cube really separates the wheat from the chaff
Sick deck!! Congrats on top 8 😂
Can we get a Top 5 Doomsday Decks video? I know there aren't any other Doomsday videos, you can just loop this one 5 times. I'd watch it all the way through, this draft was so good.
That first match was bananas.
It's only 4am in Australia. What's one more timely LSV video.
It's like getting Timely Reinforcements every day
What a great deck! It is amazing so see this archetype work in draft
My favorite vid of the channel to date.
Feel the doooom! WP. Thought doomsday was a meme in cube, but this deck was for real
Doomsday really is the king of games where neither player is sure who is winning.
Poor OP. That was one of the most brutal misplays I've ever seen.
I LOVE Doomsday piles. This was such a chef kiss deck!
Literally how did you pull this deck off?
Oh what a beauty of a draft. That third round was deserved after how hard the first two were
Starting off the year with a combo deck ready for the compilation in december in 12 months. Awesome deck love the doomsdays, gifts ungiven style decks etc. where you really get to think hard.
Also top 8d this 64 and was really looking forward to the chance of playing you - ended up losing the first round to thief_of_crowns on a crazy deck… curious if ill see it in p2
R1 opponent is absolutely malding. That g1 felt like absolute justice
That was just an absurd Doomsday deck. It would be hard to top that one
Beautiful. Just a pleasure to watch. GG
Doomsday decks are the best videos, always a bunch of wild games
Interesting deck, incredible skill and overall fun to watch
Doomsday working in cube gotta be an all timer
That were some crazy games. Dunno what else to say!
Another video for my collection the greatest cube videos!
Just finished M1G1. Wow. This is why brainstorm is king. Wowowow very nice piloting as usual too. I hope this deck goes the distance.
loved every minute of this
I literally never comment in anything but man..this Draft was sick. Congrats
beautiful draft and games
Brainstorm into win was fantastic!
chef's kiss draft and run
Man I hope this is the first Doomsday among many
the shade getting tossed at wurcoil and treachery lmfao 1 minute in
T8 drafts of all time! My nominations:
LSV - Doomsday
Kenji - Marvel Panharmonicon Reservoir Inventor Invention
Kenji - T1 Storm Kill
Kenji - Zacama
Doomsday is so cool. Hard for me to fully understand all the interactions but it’s a fun card!
Well, I guess this is literally Podracing.
He should have said "Life finds a way" in M1G1
Length of the video and ratio of time spent on matches made me think we lost round 2 for sure.
Really unfair of LSV to bring a constructed deck to a draft
Sick deck, sick games!!! All time best draft video ?
"huh... Ya im gna take academy" 😂😂😂😂
Yay Doomsday and we didn't need a stipulation draft.
Would love to see some stipulation drafts, within reason. Aetherflux for instance is fun, and you've won with it in a non stipulation draft or two. (Ofc stipulation couldn't apply to team drafts) ask chat or do a poll if you're not streaming.
It'd be fun....
Really sick draft and games.
Casting Life off of Mox Emerald is so 💯💯
57:00 how many of us have been in Tobey's spot here...just staring at your monitor in disbelief after passing priority one too many times?
Banger. Enough said.
My favorite doomsday deck I have done was doomsday, shelldock isle an emrakul with thoracle backup
