We've played the "draft the worst deck possible and pass it to your right" before, it was a lot of fun. Some interesting strategies and it was fun to see what you could build at the end. Definitely not something I would do too often because the games can be pretty painful, but pulling it out when you're bored with a format and have some extra boosters can be really fun.
i was the opponent in match 3! that was my trophy match with this deck (not super surprising considering the mox + crypt). i was familiar with the skydiver vs. jitte interaction, so the consideration was for other lines around the grist, attacking with the ooze was never on my radar. in game 2, i had the snuff out for a while and was looking for a window to catch the last blocker. in game 3, i misplayed by passing priority on the kavu before playing the quick reflexes, but shooting the real kavu rather than the metamorph was intentional. given that you were operating on so few cards, i was more scared by a way to blink/bounce and replay the kavu than i was by the one extra mana you got from the metamorph. i definitely ran somewhat hot, especially in that third game with your draw being pretty sub-par, but on the last turn, you were dead to any creature because of the grist -2, and i had a redraw off of the canopy for a second look if i didn't have rankle. obviously rankle is a pretty brutal looking way for that to end, but the card didn't have to be that good to end the game there. definitely caught some lower percentage draws for the win, but we take those. i love me some golgarbage. i think there's a tendency in cube drafting to over-index on the really broken stuff and cards like witherbloom command, grist, jitte, tireless tracker, etc. get overlooked because they're less likely to enable broken stuff.
Always fun to see the equipment owned by player 1, controlled by player 2, but equipped to player 1's creature interaction! Plus we even got to see it twice!
It's wonderful seeing LSV genuinely surprised (in a good way) to situations he would not have found himself in if he were playing against other professional and near professional players.
33:25 Could you have tinkered for Blightsteel here and have Saheeli copy it without summoning sickness for the immediate win? They resigned anyway but still. 😅
That tortured existence in game 1 does some nasty stuff in peasant cube. Ruthless sniper, faith of the devoted, and the wombo combo containment construct. Not sure about it in vintage cube though.
52:30 Last opponent and game he coulda wrecked you by playing Lego reflexes while FTK was on the stack, he woulda forced you to kill the copter or ftk. People often don’t realize it’s a must deal 4 damage and FTK will kill itself if no other targets.
I was hoping that you would make an April Fools draft with all amazing picks and somehow drafting the ideal vintage cube deck that stomps the competition.
I thought LSV mentioned insidious roots, so I'm guessing that's it. Kind of odd to just have the two of them in the cube but it's a more powerful thopter+sword when it works.
They took out several of the good targets. I drafted it around pick 3 once in this version of the cube and never found enough synergistic cards to play it.
I was hoping that you would make an April Fool's draft with terrible picks and just keep a straight face through it all.
I had a mini heart attack reading this
Everyone drafts the worst they can and gives it to someone on the other team. Then that person gets to build the best they can, and play
@@CS-wx3ob This sounds like so much fun, ngl
I’d also vote in favor of this

Tireless Tracker and Jitte are such good and underrated cards

first time ive seen LSV voluntarily putting lightning greaves in a deck!
Not even an April Fool's either!

“I’m going to get a little greedy” - music to my ears! :)
Dayum definitely feel how competitive the draft friends are compared to MTGO cube when watching this. ggs
that second pack is kinda funny lol, three dorks side by side by side
Seeing the 3 mana elves right next to each other in Pack 2 was quite funny to me
There’s something about the official MTGO drafts that hit different. Great 😊
I enjoy sometimes getting to see him draft the deck he enjoys rather than the deck that is strategically best for his team.
Academy Cradle decks are easily my favorite LSV videos
omg that snuff out was so tragic LOL

Not sure about it in vintage cube though.

didn't expect blue tinker/flash to lose to.... golgari seventh-picks?
that was me :) golgarbage is one of my favorite cube archetypes
40:19 If you float mana and get sol ring you could have cast Blighsteel. Not sure that line was better, but worth considering.
Did you see the Workshop in the Breach pack?
I was hoping that you would make an April Fools draft with all amazing picks and somehow drafting the ideal vintage cube deck that stomps the competition.
Love seeing tortured existence, I love the card in pauper, I have no idea how you would get it to come together in any sort of draft though.
I was hoping to see what the opponent was doing with it, but LSV absolutely rolled him, lol.

Tolarian ❤ greetings from Germany. I love your daily videos so much, never missing an episode ! Keep it up
Every time he says 4Beine you must have a little heart attack :D
Shieldbreaker sitting in your sideboard against mox, jitte, mite and so forth seemed like you were tunnel visioning right past it.
How often do you see three mana dorks in one pack??
Are you Greaves Pilled now, LSV?
>gets Rankled on an April 1st video
Was hoping you'd pick up the Thespian's Stage for some real shenanigans with Urza's Saga. Kind of slow but truly wacky.
Turns out plow under for two mana in a mono blue deck is good.
MTGO cube? That one dude is gunna be happy!
Damn, no consideration at all for Mishra's Workshop in the artifact tinker style deck? You just passed right over it for the spec on Underworld Breach
what you like blightsteel as a tinker target, you like always go "I hate this as a tinker target" wtf?
Is Mishra's Workshop so bad that he didn't even consider it or did he just not notice it?
Remember to stretch today!
1:20 Third pick Tinker? That pack must have been STAAAACKED.
most decks can't use tinker in cube, especially in mtgo cube.
@@lordjaraxxus3864 But seeing it in pack 1 allows you to actually look for the pieces. I would understand seeing it quite late if it were pack 3.
They took out several of the good targets. I drafted it around pick 3 once in this version of the cube and never found enough synergistic cards to play it.
Second to last pick and doesn’t take a crop rotation in a cradle academy deck
They tried to nerf artifacts and LSV was undaunted.
Zero consideration for delayed blast fireball is crazy.
.
Absolutely love this
The p1 saga into p3 tinker knowing from the title that he ends up with academy 🥹
