11:25 IMO Palace Jailer was a slam dunk. It's an absurd card and you have Flickerwisp *and* Resto to possibly exile multiple creatures/take the monarchy back in an emergency. Great draft though, excited to watch the games and see how it turns out!
i recently went back and watched all of the GP Richmond and once i finished i started watching all of Reids cube vids. since then ive designed a cube and started getting back into magic after about a year off. feels good to be back..kinda hurts that i sold my whole collection lol. Reid is 100% my favourite pro and i would pay any amount of money to meet him lol. keep up the great content guys!
@Reid 6:34 I think I take the birds here. It's the strongest card in the pack, and it's still early enough in the draft that you could very easily end up base green ramp splashing blue and white.
Kind of surprised how low you were on that first pick, I don't mind starting with a blue fetch-land at all - it's where I expect to start in most Vintage cube drafts (unless I'm lucky enough to open P9 or Oko level cards).
@@CaveShvig well if you cut tarn and foundry for 2 plains you lose a blue source. and if you just cut foundry for plains there's a risk that you draw both hallowed fountain and scalding tarn, making tarn dead.

Why he didn’t SLAM jailer will baffle me for literally my entire life

Truly the global supply chain problems have been affecting even cube videos, but thankfully Reid's able to ship some quality content our way!
Mana tithe is the most winningest card in cube, leaving it out is just crazy.
From control to aggro in 60 seconds or less
Has reid read Swift Reconfiguration? Card is nuts creature removal and I didn't know about it at all before cube
Does anyone know if it matters sometimes choosing Heads and sometimes Tails for the crypt ?

Think I'd go 15 lands with chrome + crypt. Decks functional stuck on 3 lands
I’m a simple crab, I see Reid Duke CFB video, I click the like button
mill 3 videos
7:32 Have you met Caleb?

in an average pack, you'd hope to have a couple cards better than a blue fetch
Why would Tarn + Foundry be better than just Plains - just for deck thinning?
tarn fixes your mana since it can fetch fountain
@@sophieharris4448 but he doesn't need red - so doesn't just-plains do as well without the gymnastics?

Damn. Trop over mana tithe. That’s a big no from me haha. I’m a huge simp for mana tithe
Reid, I will win the next battle Post Malone sweepstakes just to train with you
White is so good, yet a bit boring.
Why no adeline? Would be so good, it's even a knight for benalia :(
His 3-drop slot of the curve was already pretty crowded, can’t realistically power it out early with only 2 accelerants
Green ramp seemed to be open, just not the first few picks
It's vintage cube up or this an old recording?
It's up for one more week
The Microphone being directly over the keyboard and mouse with no filter was brutal on the ears.. ASMR & Magic is def not a great combo.
