  • I can't ask for much more than this - opening three pieces of power is always a treat, and this deck utilized them VERY well.

    You can really tell that the mtgo drafters are not at the level of the discord server drafters. The discord drafters never allow LSV to open this much power

    LSV would be such a good teacher. The constant articulation behind thought processes and evaluation weather or not he made the right choices/plays is such a helpful tool.

      Absolutely, even with my ADHD I can follow him so well and the constant but concise articulation makes it easy for me to follow and stay engaged. He's one of few content creators I can actually engage with for lengthy periods of time.

    It's always nice to see Gavin's cube get some sunshine on MTGO, but it's surprising how much the quality of gameplay drops without various Pro Tour and World Champion players across the table. This deck likely would have crushed a custom lobby too, just heightens my appreciation for the awesome level of competition in the other videos.

    • @bricelory9534
      @bricelory9534 7 месяцев назад +20

      Right? It gets easy to be accustomed to the Discord server drafts as just normal gameplay until you see these and realize just how strong the competition is in those team drafts.

    • @cursedbernard5598
      @cursedbernard5598 6 месяцев назад +3

      I drafted this cube yesterday, and it honestly felt like the other drafters were auto-picking. The wheels made no sense, and I got a 3rd pick Time Walk in pack three. Baffling... Is WotC using bots?

    Candelabra “almost always has a possibility of wheeling” most vague statement

    • @Gudnarr
      @Gudnarr 7 месяцев назад +3

      I actually think it is a precise statement about the inference that luis can typically make based on the information available. The way I understand it is as follows: there are almost no drafts where he would rule out the candelabra wheeling. Often, if you saw some cards being picked early and not wheeling, you can bet that some other card you are seeing now will not wheel either, because the same player will very likely take it. There are conditions under which the second card never wheels. Otoh, the way I understand it, even when Luis suspects that someone is playing artefact or another candelabra adjacent archetype at the table, he still regularly sees the candelabra wheeling, probably because other drafters don’t value the card highly even in the archetypes where it’s good.

    • @jeffreyperry7911
      @jeffreyperry7911 7 месяцев назад +2

      @@Gudnarr I feel that in part, it's because LSV never passes Tolarian Academy, the single best card with Candelabra. That makes Candelabra more likely to wheel for LSV than for other drafters that value TA slightly lower (perhaps incorrectly!)

    At 48:20 I'm surprised LSV didn't go for it.
    Play Lotus, sac for GGG.
    Regrow Lotus, play Lotus, sac for WWW.
    Play Salvagers paying WUUG.
    Salvagers back the Lotus using the remaining WW, get infinite mana, play Jar, Twister, etc.
    The opponent _did_ have 5 mana including both U and B available, so maybe that play is risky, and he was able to hold up Drain and Remand _(in an emergency since he'd have to sac Lotus for it, but it was technically available)_ so maybe that's better, but after he talked about the Regrow Lotus play I thought he'd go for it.
