Are You Ready For a 5v5 Vintage Cube Team Draft?? 

felt this one

Me too

he DID take parallax wave.

1:39:38 as he mentioned.

Nah, Tolarian wheeling during LSV's "See Tolarian Academy Pick Tolarian Academy" saga.

@@VexIlluminated Academy was insanely undervalued by everyone at the start of the team draft server though! So It wasn't really that crazy, even LSV would let it go 5 or 6th pick before the team draft days. That saga really only lasted like one insane month since then if doesn't 1st pick academy he literally hasn't put a single academy deck together (and the MTGO drafts don't count those are wild)

​@gkeuler i remember those days lol

The wait on that pack was long, I feel like the person above Luis saw something that completes a combo and was agonizing over it

Yeah, it's up there with last pick Urza

And it doesn’t even make the deck! 😂

It's just one of LSV's (many) dad jokes! 😆

@@sjake8308 oh he got my ass then haha

Not playing Magda just to realize you can't play white remand because of Thalia seems even more sus honestly xD

It's actually more than 7 sources because there's Magda and Fable in there too

My assumption would be to pick a simple, aggro or otherwise definitive strategy with one to two colours so your mana base works and you aren't dependant on combos that might be in the same pack. Or you can play five color nonsense so you have to fight to fix rather than improve/accelerate while praying you get any synergy. That's an option, apparently.

@@ReiHost that sounds right.

I am beginning to think it doesn't belong in the cube, let alone this deck. And I thought his love for mana leak was zany... At least that card does something.

​@@ReiHostwhat's wrong with leak

Nothing is "Wrong" with leak--It's a fine soft counterspell. What I find strange is how he gushes over it, like it's gush in fact. We've seen LSV value it over Force of Will, Negation and Mana Drain. He's had packs with game winners in front of him, he's talked how amazing they would be... and then chooses Mana Leak. Power wise it's the worst counter in the cube, in exchange for a colorless--it's not nothing but he overvalues it almost as much as he does Shelldock Isle.

@ReiHost well gush isn't really anything to gush over either. At least not in cube in general, it's pretty niche at this point. Honestly other than shelldock being overrated I kinda disagree with everything you just said lol no offense. There are definitely situations where it's correct to take leak over the forces or UU counters and in a p1p1 situation I think you take leak over lapse miscalc or daze. Probably you should take remand over either leak or lapse but I could see an argument for all three, which is the beauty of the 2 mana counters in the cube, they aren't simply redundant game pieces. Leak might be a "soft" counter but the cube is so fast that it doesn't feel that way often. Days of blue being undisputed king are long gone, you don't want to draft with the intention of being able to produce uu on turn 2 all the time, so I could certainly see an argument for leak over counterspell p1p1. Mana drain ofc not tho.
