This Tolarian Academy Deck Gets Games Over In A Flash | Vintage Cube Draft 

Refresh gang we made it

55:08 I think there is a way: - tap all your lands for 7 mana - play Syr Ginger; clamp; boots; desk ( have 1 floating) - play and tap academy for 7 more (up to 8) - sac food and desk; equip Syr Ginger with both equipments (down to 3 mana) - play RecSage to blow up 1 servo Kappa is a 10/10, Syr Ginger is a 7/2 trample and they have to block tough cookie and trinket mage with the 2 remaining servo. I just realized you could also equip the boots on the sage, since Syr Ginger already has haste, making this require less math if the mana checks out. If it doesn't, you can probably play hexdrinker and give it the boots.

20:22 As much as I love seeing LSV win, I may have died laughing if the cast Mana Tithe. 😂

at this point im just waiting for a draft where LSV puts flash in his deck with zero targets

I'd love to see a 1v1 vintage cube draft vs BK or someone

Game one him attacking with Thraben Inspector would make sense if he was playing to balance as an out to worldspine

39:40 Could have saced Courier with Flash on the stack in case you find the worm.

16:37 "If you see those both in the top 10 cards every couples games, like you're just gonna win." I had just noticed that only happens once in every 16 games and this guy gets it in the opener in game 1. Luck, skill, victory.

I yelled “cut the boots” like ten times during your many last card cut decisions…😂 clamp I understand, it works once and you’re way ahead, but boots is really bad in this deck, just an artifact.

at 28:10 you're still live before you draw the skullclamp cards because you could draw into flash+worldspine wurm to survive the turn then rip timespiral or upheaval. Pretty unlikely, but you weren't totally dead.

clamping hexdrinker and not leveling it up feels wild to me

"Note: There's a sword of the meek there" Ive heard this one before :p

que lindo abrir esa academia en el primer pack. Abrazo Luis, no dejes de hacer estos drafts que me encantan, vintage cube es el mejor formato del juego

Regarding Breach combo: I think nobody takes it because they expect other players to hate draft the other pieces. But what ends up happening is no one actually hate drafts the combo.

Id like to see a video where you post some of your favorite cards in your personal collection

lol did anyone not draft artifacts?

I was thinking for a second that you could of equipped and leveled up hexdrinker, but then I realized protection from everything has downsides

Gawd breach brain freeze deck would have been nuts too . He seen all the cards

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VdO0IIxGpWg.html This was a very cool decision point, evaluating whether to chump the construct and blow up the Mox Opal vs. blow up the construct and keep the rec sage. Ultimately you chose to keep the rec sage since you felt you needed both Time Spiral + Upheaval to win the game, which really means you needed the top card to be skullclamp, then one of the next two to be spiral, then one of the next 7 to be upheaval. Which seems pretty low odds to me, but might be the best chance of winning versus if you simply drew Upheaval. Didn't matter in the end, but found it interesting nonetheless.

Tolarian Academy into Counter Spell? I like it

Flash Subtlety is cute

"He's baubling himself"

I thought the Great Flood only happened in biblical times..

whelp i guess with this being a team draft, at least you were fighting for an artifact deck only with their team. get to feel like a team player :)

Nice

have to imagine team would do well with 2 oppponents and yourselves cannibalizing artifacts, but certainly don't disagree with decisions during draft

Even when Fastbond does its thing, it's not a guaranteed win. I would expect more upside from a card so finicky to make use of, don't you?

finally 8 players again. 6 players just doesnt cut it.

Half the table forcing artifacts and you open a Tolarian Academy:

.

Such unfortunate games

Having flash for one card seems sketchy. If you don't have one the other is useless

Hot take: LSV overrates Mana Crypt. It deals on average 1.5 damage to you a turn and then combine that with fetch, shock, phyrexian mana, and other self inflicted damage/life loss (things like toxic deluge, snuff out, ancient tomb). Then say your opp gets initiative they are threatening 5 more life loss pretty quickly. Not saying it’s bad, just saying it not power. Whereas Sol Ring should be counted as power. Mana Crypt is like Temu version of power. Edit: Happy to farm some engagement for the channel 🤩.
