Legacy Cube Draft | Channel LSV 

Just watch this one over and over, since Blue or Blue/Black are his typical drafts.

also my thought

yep misplay

we did get to see Smiting Helix off the bench in round 3

If I had to guess, probably because there were like five races getting in on the Pirate action on Ixalan.

Just in Vraska's crew there were at least 3 races, not counting gorgon, so I guess the art just represents one random crewmenber aboard the Belligerent

i just want to see him draft some kind of green or white smash deck for once...

I pray this isnt a serious comment

I think its actually just common among magic players. I hear a bunch of them adding the "erino" to things.

@@notednuance Something like "snappy" "young peezy" things like that I hear a lot but "erino" is something I hear from LSV. Not saying nobody else says it but at least the people I've been around never say that (at least with me around)

It gets weird when he’s ordering pepperoni.

@@Miracle-lg7fr well a fair bit of other magic content creators certainly Caleb D comes to mind... but maybe they're all just influenced by LSV

@@ChannelFireball imagine being ng Day9 he often follows up his "erino"isms with "in the pepperoni"... must be a nightmare.

Big daddy Bolas is real bad unfortunately, just too expensive for what it does. Wish they still had 7 mana Bolas from Hour of Devastation in the Cube, that card was legit.

He didnt really have the ramp for it

LSV co-founded Channel Fireball. He's undoubtedly one of the best players to ever play the game. He's won more Pro Tours than you'll ever spectate.

@@SeanHrecho Oh really? ;)

greatness at any cost

"This isn't a coward stream." Worth highlighting that any deck's cmc usually hovers between 2 and 3. Don't forget nearly half of it is lands.

​@@Khazuki_ It's not only about the average, you must consider the variance. This deck has 8 cards with 4 cmc or greater (that's 3 with 4 cmc and 5 with 5 cmc), that's a whole 20% of the deck! Don't weight too much into lands costing 0 while 17 lands feels like almost half of the deck when you factor solemn and the fetchlands it actually shifts between 42.5% and 35%, not that close to half (in limited, deck thinning does come into play a lot more). All I'm saying is this deck is far from the "low to the ground blue black" LSV had in mind when he second picked Bob.

@@pairot01 No, the average is the most important factor for Bob. If you hit one of your 5 drops, you take 5. So what? That's not gonna kill you out of nowhere, it's not like he's playing Emrakul or anything. Bob is excellent in this deck.

@@utterlyj1277 Let's do some math then. Let's assume you have a constant 20% chance to hit a 4+ cmc card for simplicity. That means that the chance of hitting 2 of those cards in a row is 1/25, that's better odds than drawing any exact spell in a natural draw step. Now let's add a 3rd trigger, you have a 10.4% chance of hitting at least 2 of those cards with the third one being any card (including a third of those), that's anywhere between 8 and 15 damage, I estimate the average to be a little below 12. Being aware of the lesser probable cases is key in magic, that's what let's you steal games you have less than 1% chance of winning by playing to your outs and it helps to choose the correct play when balancing consistency and explosivity.

First.
