Match 2 Game 3, the fact that he narrated the possibility and benefits of the Questing Beast play instead of playing out Opposition and leaving himself wide open knowing he'd be taking his theoretical minimum of 9, bringing him down to 6, against monored, with two prowess creatures on board, and then just... didn't... made it a lot harder to overlook. After discussing his different lines, he went with the one where, for the low, low cost of tapping every one of his cards, he would genuinely gain nothing out of it except for an early grave. With the circumstances as they were, playing it a turn, or even two, later had nothing but upside. Then when he lost, the only misplay he could think of was tapping wrong leading to bad blocking in confluence. Love the dude, but that game was rough.
That was at least a defensible pick but the thing that annoys me the most is how low Marshall picks lands. Every draft he picks mediocre playables over them only to ends with his picks in the sideboard.
1:10:20 I don't understand playing Opposition You've seen zero spells that would kill Questing Beast so I'm a bit confused on how you could possibly lose if your line is Beast -> Hermit -> Opposition Watching what they had,,, them flunging into the beast and needing to spend incinerate on it to get rid of it leaves you able to play hermit through port, and I don't get how hermit can manage to not buy you like 3 years of time to win
Not gonna argue with Marshall "Opposition" Sutcliffe, but I like opposition as a surprise AFTER you build the board. Playing it onto a (near) empty battlefield doesn't scare the opponent and makes their gameplan really clear. If you play out Beast, Hermit, then opposition, you've held off attacks with bodies and then get to hold off bodies to swing through. Remember to take an extra second to think it out. :-)
agreed, this was a massive punt. the q beast would have been a much better play, to create some cushion. Would have forced them to use creature+incinerate on it, padded the life total a bit and probably kept the druid around to drop the hermit next turn, *then* follow up with oppo to lock down.
I agree with the passing 'hoof pick. The deck already had Karn AND Ugin, two incredible top ends. E witness brings back a dead opposition if they manage to remove it, or a dead nissa or other PW. I think it's more of what the deck wants. That was a stacked pack though. (I would have also assumed by that point that I was dumping tooth and nail, as it isn't worth it without avenger or hoof or other creature top-ends.
I am sorry Marshall, you are a great player and a blessing for the world of MTG. I love your content but I am so tired of seeing yet another opposition deck being run through. I get that it is a powerful card and will make it more likely to lead to a winning record. I am also aware that this comment is surely annoying for you, but I just want to mention that it is far more enjoyable to see a great player try to make some other cards work. If you curated all available legacy cube videos available on youtube there are about a quadrillion G/U opposition run-throughs. I hope you read this as just one guy's opinion and not an attack.
m2g3 playing opposition was clearly wrong. Questing beast preserves your life total better and opposition is only good if you can get hermit down, in which case you can just... block with the tokens. Also, no reason to be running tooth and nail. What are you getting, carnage tyrant and a hermit? not worth it vs some of the cards you cut
you need 4 green pips for it to be on par with ancient tomb and doesn't accelerate before that so it's pretty medium, if you can get it without losing out on a good moana dork or payoff it's probably better that the 16th or 17th forest in a monogreen deck but in two color green I probably wouldn't bother
Tooth and nail had only one ok target (carnage tyrant). Should have cut tooth and nail, scavenging ooze and one of carnage tyrant/wall of blossoms/yavimaya elder for avacyn's pilgrim, trostani, and approach. With zero plains, already had 6 white sources. With one plains, 8 white sources.
So like my two cents matter here but Nykthos wss available. although between that and Nissa is a tough call though I'm not sure he even noticed Nykthos.

"oh look another Marshall legacy cube, is he mono green, upheaval, or opposition?"
.... yes

Yeah the play was definitely Questing Beast and it wasn't even close
Did you just pass a hoof in the green creature deck???!!!🤔
That was at least a defensible pick but the thing that annoys me the most is how low Marshall picks lands. Every draft he picks mediocre playables over them only to ends with his picks in the sideboard.
That hurt my soul
"I need cards that create creatures"! - Passes Avenger for Spellskite
That game one scoop to tooth. Little did they know that this was the first ever mono green tooth deck in a cube not running hoof
Great deck, Marshall. Dunno how you were able to pass that Craterhoof but Oppositon plans were sweet
went to the comments immediately after he passed Craterhoof. I know he wasnt short on finishers ... but it still seems wrong to pass it
this tunnel vision on opposition in 2nd match :PPP
Min 16, Witness over Hoof and Elf? That's just crazy
I had to stop watching after that
Witness did some work in a few games though
@@cptawesome11 ya but if he had hoof instead of ewit in those situations it would've been even better...
I was baked watching this had to splash cold water and replay that pick a couple times to make sure I wasn't bugging out
@@drsatisfaction wit back the druid for the tooth in g1 hoof wouldnt have done dick
I like the opposition decks Marshall, keep ‘em coming.
1:10:20 I don't understand playing Opposition

Cool new legacy cube stream, thanks.
But little disappointed, you didn’t take MAN-O’-WAR!
I would have taken Volcanic Island p1p1
Would it really be a Marshall video if he didn't pick Karn?

I don't know the last Cube draft i've seen that didn't go green or UG.
1:10:00 think you seriously underestimating the damage coming next turn with no blocks a single 3 damage burn spell is 12. is over lethal
agreed, this was a massive punt. the q beast would have been a much better play, to create some cushion. Would have forced them to use creature+incinerate on it, padded the life total a bit and probably kept the druid around to drop the hermit next turn, *then* follow up with oppo to lock down.
literally what the fuck
you still get to play hermit into opposition and lock them out, you just have to not die first
what are the thoughts behind scavenging ooze main over harmonize etc?
Some-times I think Marshell doesn't pick perfect cards for his deck just for the extra enrage comments.
Match 1 game 1...when you adapted Druid, should have nuked his yard at EoT. You ended up winning next turn but...still should have happened.
Where can I see this Legacy list at?

19:30 "bruh"...lmao

Also, no reason to be running tooth and nail. What are you getting, carnage tyrant and a hermit? not worth it vs some of the cards you cut
Did anyone else notice the “sss” in his opp clock at 38:41 ? What’s up with that?
Isn’t Nykthos good in mono green ramp?
you need 4 green pips for it to be on par with ancient tomb and doesn't accelerate before that so it's pretty medium, if you can get it without losing out on a good moana dork or payoff it's probably better that the 16th or 17th forest in a monogreen deck but in two color green I probably wouldn't bother
All the time warps and all the walkers!!!!!!! How could you not do that in legacy cube??
I always forget to ask this. But what color opacity settings are you using.
Transparency
Bruh
You played lose against Monopol Red in round 3. Opostion was not the best idea
Ah poh
Tooth and nail had only one ok target (carnage tyrant). Should have cut tooth and nail, scavenging ooze and one of carnage tyrant/wall of blossoms/yavimaya elder for avacyn's pilgrim, trostani, and approach. With zero plains, already had 6 white sources. With one plains, 8 white sources.

Skipping avenger with opposition already, then witness over hoof. Lol had to leave the video after that.
The deck has Karn AND Ugin, taking Hoof over Witness would have been an awful decision. How do you watch cube videos and not see that?
stopped watching when the video was over
