Why stop at one combo when you can have three or four - this deck had a lot of paths to victory, and used them all.

In all my years of magic I have never seen someone lose a game where they strip mine'd 6 lands and kept their opponent at

Into a timetwister with 8 of the next 9 cards being lands. Incredible

If he hadn't discarded Breach to Frantic Search he would've been able to cast Frantic Search 9 times the next turn and see all but 2 cards in his deck with access to "infinite" mana (you just get 3 mana over and over). Was definitely a misplay to discard Breach, which he even mentions.
@turbobrew
@turbobrew 9 днів тому
Obviously hindsight is 20-20 but breach is basically a one sided timetwister at that point in the game with the graveyard full. Having the game plan to twister a mono red deck you just spent the last 6 turns grinding to dust is maybe the wrong play.

I love trying out removing things like Initiative. I find it warps these cubes so much into favoring midrangey creature battles. It also promotes making less interesting picks because picking random initiative creatures is always good value.

Feeling vindicated for questioning the previous P1P1 Lutri picks over Reanimate, Oko, and Laelia. EDIT: Lutri did absolutely nothing (again)! LSV mentions it once in a two hour video, when he explains why it's just not a good time to put it into his hand.

I was surprised too. Seems like he didn't have an interest in using it for Storm...which with Underworld Breach, storm is more a formality than something you need to worry about to make it work. But all the same, it seemed like a good fit.

If you removed from LSV's cube all the cards that are neither modern-eligible nor from 1993-2003, that would mean removing - all the Initiative cards (White Plume Adventurer, Seasoned Dungeoneer, Feywild Caretaker, Passageway Seer, From the Catacombs, Caves of Chaos Adventurer, Undermountain Adventurer) - the other Baldur's Gate cards (Displacer Kitten, Gut, Minsc & Boo) - all the Monarch cards (Palace Jailer, Emberwilde Captain) - all the Warhammer cards (Sicarian Infiltrator, Necron Deathmark, Noise Marine, Chaos Defiler, Mawloc, Night Scythe) - all the Jurassic Park cards (Spitting Dilophosaurus) - all the Clue cards (Headliner Scarlett, Carnage Interpreter, Unruly Krasis) - 4 other white cards: Unexpectedly Absent, Council's Judgment, Glimmer Lens, Staff of the Storyteller - 5 other blue cards: Hullbreacher, Spellseeker, True-Name Nemesis, Smirking Spelljacker, Mystic Confluence - 1 other black card: Toxic Deluge - 5 other red cards: "Name Sticker" Goblin, Broadside Bombardiers, Death-Greeter's Champion, Fiery Confluence, Elemental Eruption - 1 other green card: Pest Infestation - other gold cards: Fractured Identity, Baleful Strix, Torsten, Dack Fayden, Forth Eorlingas!, Otharri, Aragorn, Leovold - other artifacts: Relic of Sauron, Triplicate Titan, Currency Converter, Retrofitter Foundry, Coveted Jewel You'd probably have a hard time getting buy-in to remove a lot of the beloved cards here: Baleful Strix, Mystic Confluence, Fiery Confluence, Retrofitter Foundry, Currency Converter, Spellseeker, etc.

I started watching you to learn how to draft and I fell in love with your content. One of the things you taught me is to pick the card that works for your deck, not to plan my draft around hate. Ever since you've begun playing team drafts with known variables in your friends, however, you spend more time thinking about who will get what than what you need or what you will wheel--And I think if we compare the stats, your results this year reflect this philosophical change.
