luv it, "Did I accidentally trip over my own shoelaces and find an infinite combo?!"
Karakas, Channel, and Fast Bond going that late is certainly unusual! A pretty wild draft.
Channel is pretty bad so with a top 8 you'd expect it that late but those other cards yea pretty late. Altough for fastbond with reid having waste strip it'd be only good for a draw7 drafter that can splash green or as a hate draft.
That infinite in match 1 was sick.
Just a green necropotence
The accidental infinite mana and card draw in M1G2 was awesome!
@19:23 Surprised to see Reid not even consider Enlightened Tutor. This is a combo deck, and it grabs all sorts of missing combo pieces (e.g. Crucible, Fastbond, Dryad, Zuran Orb, or even Skullclamp or Skysovereign if the rest are already spent).
Bad card is bad. Playing bad cards to make your good cards better is a sure way to lose.
Exactly. Noticed it too immediately. This was by far the biggest game mistake he did.
Also not taking Ulamog vs brain freeze. Two massive mistakes in an amazing deck he should have won with

@@DoomDG Why is the card bad? It is restricted and a staple in cEDH and Vintage is it not? Yes you end up down a card, but you can get Skullclamp if that is an issue.
Not considering it only because it usually sucks in cube seems too narrow of a mindset. This deck has a combo with all pieces being fetchable and also 3 other win the game combos (Dryad+Valakut, Strip Effect+Crucible).
Given the games it probably didn't matter since the only loss wouldn't be likely prevented by it, but it still seems like the correct card for the deck. Certainly better then firebolt.
it is *so nice* to see a CFB video without a clickbait image. In support I watched the entire video
Sick draft
Lands deck looked super sweet but damn that storm deck from the opponent looked unbeatable
Main thing I'm sad about is not taking the grist. Still a whole pack, and sooo good with skullclamp. Great video as always.
There were a few bad picks imo, grist, ulamog with channel
Awesome deck! Love listening to Reid's thought process throughout a draft. I gotta double what @vexion42 said though, enlightened tutor seems powerful in this deck. Reid may have just glossed over it without realizing, it is a pretty niche card after all
This deck shaped out beautifully in the last 2 packs
Unfortunately the last opponent had one of the best archetypes
I found the lands decks can be really hard to finish the combos in a timely fashion. I had fastbond, zuran orb, and crucible in a draft but timed out because it took too long to execute the combo and click through everything. If you have to execute the combo once, and then have a grindy game 2, you can be really hard pressed to execute in game 3. I really with mtgo had a way to detect loops in play and offer to execute them “x” times to speed up things.
Compared to something like led, brainfreeze, and breach you only need to cast led 4-5 times to get there and the combo takes maybe 1 minute to execute.
I think it's wild you didn't take that Enlighted Tutor for Fastbond or Zuran Orb. I also would have taken that Balance for the same reason, although you didn't see the Fastbond, yet.
I think the blance should have been taken with white fixing and already planning on wheeling the zuran orb
"Wow, that Savannah is really about to pay off!" As I watch in horror as he doesn't pick the balance
Moments like 46:00 are why MTG is the best game ever.... the man is always cool calm demeanor... but you watch him melt into a kid again...
....It's amazing that after 30 years this game still delivers moments like this...
45 minutes in. That was the most wholesome ah-ha moment of Reid’s magic online career. When your decent lands deck strategy gets supercharged with fastbond and becomes an unfair deck !
there's a reason why reid is so many ppls favorite player. the smile at the end wishing them gl in the finals. youre a real one
Spelunking - Gruul Turf - Tireless Tracker - Fastbond combo was fire
Cool deck, fun games, thx ^^
Enlightened tutor for fastbond/zuran orb/dryad/crucible seemed wayyyy better than the sideboard firebolt
So cool to see the changes to the cube result in new infinite combos. Might have won if he picked up Channel Emrakul.
He just needed to side board draft that Ulamog. Which I thought would have been a good counter strat at the time after seeing brain freeze lion's eye. It was on the wheel, plus it turns out he had an inifinite mana combo.
12:20, take the karakas wheel the excavator?
It was very cool deck, sad to die against pure storm when having almost no element of disruption except killing lands, but its extremely rare to get that land lock on turn 1-2
if he hated some of the broken storm cards in draft like brainfreeze maybe his opponents are a lot weaker
I love listening to reid play. Such a calm collected dude
19:16 is it just me or shouldn't Enlightened Tutor be a very good pick here, with both Crucible, Fastbond and Zuran Orb already in the deck? Also, the manabase already support white as well...
Hard to understand not putting fiery confluence in your deck 😢
Pity you passed that pick 2 brain freeze over the cradle.
Do you wanna see a cat? 55:38
That prismatic vista turned out worse than the flooded strand
Fun deck, but no good defenses to the busted blue combo. Passing brain freeze may have been wrong if not for the fact that whoever gets it will have a crazy deck.
His best defense was a fast land destruction or infinite mana draw, which I think means he certainly should have mulled that last game. I had the same critique of his play in the last top 8 where he drafted lands. You have to be willing to mulligan for your broken cards because the fair draws just won't cut it in most matchups and lands otherwise lacks disruptive elements. For lands, that's strip mine, wasteland, and fastbond. I actually think enlightened tutor was worth considering as well just to have more copies of fastbond and crucible in the deck.
Showed cat in video: 11/10
He had the win through a counter to as long as it wasn't Force of Negation cuz of EWit
Im so hyped for this
Just watched the first draft
Loved it
I have an idea for a card (I don't know if this is made) . The idea is: Instant card 1B You can add one word to any card in your deck / library / graveyard / exile. Would that be too OP of a card ? There can be a limit to which words you can add. Like you can't say "ninety". Those words could be stuff like (maybe you draft from a spellbook ?) "whenever", "If" etc. It could be game breaking maybe I don't know but It could be fun ! :D
I was about so upset about not taking Eternal Witness.
Certainly cooking in this one
Pack 1, pick 2 - Brain Freeze
Pack 1, pick 6 - LED
Pack 3, pick 3 - Underworld Breach
You were the architect of your own demise :)
Will also wasn't taken over something irrelevant at the end of pack three.
Free my mans arboreal grazer 💀
You passed all the pieces to the brainfreeze deck...
I find it very interesting that Reid and LSV are in lock step in power evaluations for virtually everything EXCEPT Treachery. Reid loves the card whereas LSV has no respect for it. I feel like that speaks to their tendencies as, from what I have seen, LSV tends to undervalue the fair cards and Reid tends to not greed for broken strategies.
I think reid plays a lot less vintage. If LSV a player that loves combo doesn't like treatchery that should tell you all you need to know. (card is not good) I think reid greeded quite a bit here anyway not taking grazer, tribe scout which are much better picks than what he took for a lands deck with cradle and a million 3s tribe scout is mostly just better explore.
@@Lollerpwn1337 I definitely don’t think treachery is horrible, as with one piece of acceleration it lets you spend 9 mana on turn 4, which can put you so far ahead on board sometimes you just win from there. I think LSV’s evaluation is that for every time treachery gives you massive tempo there will be two games where its a 5-cost card that either doesn’t do anything or barely does anything, which is partially dependent on what your opponents are doing.
Yes in hindsight Reid had some small pick errors but the R2 opponent’s draws were just more powerful, it was his lack of disruption that ended up being the biggest issue.
Yes you can play a 5 mana spell thats free if your opponent doesnt have interaction, or they might just fizzle it or counter it. If it gets blown out like that its often game losing. There might also not be a good target, its also easily removed. But it is good if you get it and untapping is good so say a hightide or an academy or cradle deck. Still the decks that would want treachery usually don't want yet another expensive high variance card.
Hello as well friend
Another day of being reminded why I hate the Escape mechanic. 😠
Weird to pass grist there
I don't understand the valakut in the deck when you don't even have enough mountains in the deck to really trigger it...
Read the card Dryad of the Ilysian Grove
but there is a dryad of the ilysian grove
Ty for telling me to look up this card, didn't know it existed 😁
The buzzing in the background is so annoying ♡♡♡♡
The floor is noise gate is way too low. It was like this in the other video too.
Just edit it out 😊
@@jtyree0226 yeah you're probably right. It wouldn't be that hard to fix the sound in post. But it's usually better to make sure that you're not buzzing before the recording starts
What buzzing?
@@KyleWalters126 the recording is very noisy. There's like a buzzing or a hiss because the sensitivity on the mic is cranked really high. I noticed it much more with my headphones on
Wow skipped ulamog coulda had channel mog…… ugh
It's not even that great if you don't take advantage of channel otherwise. I LOVE channel and draft it a lot, but to get a natural combo on turn 2 is actually very rare and if you draw it later you will often not have enough life to cast it anyway or annihilator isn't enough to win at that point if you're being pressured. It's fun and some decks are great for it, but it shouldn't be thought of as this unbeatable combo because both pieces are often dead cards on their own.
Reid, you're an amazing wizard, but for the love of god please stop overvaluing elvish mystic. Overall this was a really cool deck, you found a sick infinite that I haven't seen in vintage cube either!
Not really sure what you want him to take out of that pack with cradle and clamp
Now don’t get me wrong, there were some very questionable picks here but at the stage he was at I think elvish mystic is the right pick
@@subtleknife1 I like leyline here with the fetch Triome and savannah. with such an underwhelming pack, even on pack 3, I might have even specked on the tinker.
Tribe scout which he said hed refuse to play cause its bad is better than mystic for this deck@@subtleknife1
