UW Control Like It's 2014 In The Vintage Cube 

I still can't believe I passed you the perfect U/W Cheons deck...

Paul passing UW Cheons feels like attempted rebranding.

The daily lsv vintage cube draft era is the gift that keeps on giving. What a time to be alive.

Watching Luis get put in the turn one Fastbond torture sequence 3 games in a row by his own dear friend Paul is an ultimate moment for their friendship.

This is Blue White control in the deck, but also the draft … so many early hate picks and combo breakers and no passes. Truly full control.

So LSV explained to Paul how to draft this cube then proceeds and draft UW CHEONS

I fell to my knees in a Kroger’s

Damn back in 2018 when I started playing cube this was THE deck. If you got JTMS, Teferi, Remand, and Snapcaster it was just gg. Crazy how much cube has changed over the years

Even without the Snuff Out, I think we're still meant to play Underground Sea in the deck. If we draw e.g. an opening hand with Mana Drain, Marsh Flats, Eagles of the North, and no other blue sources, with Underground Sea in the deck we can fetch it on turn 1, use Eagles to fetch Hallowed Fountain, and have Mana Drain up on Turn 2. Without Underground Sea we have no way to get double-blue off those cards.

"Opponent passes the turn for the first five turns of the game" LSV: Now we're playing the kind of game this deck's good at!

Big Teferi, little Teferi and JTMS walk into a bar...instalike❤

That poor Stalactite Stalker.

Such a cool deck, so many decisions to make on each turn. When to use a cantrip to bounce a creature vs leave up counters vs tap out for a Planeswalker... expertly piloted, as always, and very fun to watch.

I really enjoy watching these "traditional archetypes" (e.g. Mono W, Red aggro, UW control) more than any other videos on the channel. Thanks for the throwback!

4:55 this is what I love ❤️ about LSV, turns the draft into a cage match lol..

When playing against someone with fastbond the odds of it being in their opening hand goes up 84%

How many damn times are you gonna make that man play Magda??! Brutality

"Are we going to draft UW Cheons while sitting next to Cheon?" This is why I keep coming back to this channel. Also, this deck was sick.

Its impressive that even cheon's draw 7 deck with deck stacking for t1 fastbond every game couldn't beat this no power control deck.

Your treatment of that magda reminds me of what you did to those gifted aetherborns with cheons in pioneer 😂

That's what's sweet about cube, UW control is not even on the radar for most people in archetypes you go for when drafting. Yet no power or really broken cards and still dominated the field easily.

Cheon fading the flip with his inside knowledge

oust is one of my favorite cards that i think is underrated. its a 1 mana removal spell thats somehow incredibly brutal against bad creatures, often more so than against good creatures. triple remanding a friends lanowar elves is a great memory (for me)

LSV: by the time he draws Halfling, it will be expectedly present.

Just discovered today that Paul Cheon has a Channel. The first video I found of his was of him drafting storm. The same day I find you drafting Blue White Control. What wild parallel dimension have we slipped into in 2024?

Now this is classic! Never tire of the Vintage Cube drafts, LSV👌

probably my favorite deck in the last few months, what a great league!

UW Control in a draft with Paul? Identity theft is not a joke, Luis!

That poor Magda. 😂

Ridiculously satisfying draft

Just wondering wouldn’t underground sea have been a “free” untap blue source for marsh flats to grab?

I picture Stalactite and Magda bemoaning their luck together in a bar later tonight!

More of this, please. I crave the Cheons

LSV truly getting into the fun police mindset even in the draft portion by stealing someone's minsc and boo, natural order and archon of cruelty.

Is it really not worth it playing the Underground Sea to turn the Marshflats into a U/W fetch? I know it carries the risk of any nonbasic, but I think the ability to get blue in a pinch is worth the risk of hitting a wasteland or archon. Mostly thinking for e.g. you already have Hallowed Fountain and need a third blue for Cryptic.

This deck slaps! It’s so opposite to watching Lsv draft “fair” decks. This is the polar opposite of the crazy concoctions he makes usually, but felt like he was holding the control key down the entire time he played.

The best draw would be a snapcaster, oh there’s a snapcaster 😂🎉 LSV fortune strikes again

Awesome seeing perhaps my fav archetype played at such a high level. Also, this reinforces my belief that Oust is being underplayed; card is great in so many situations!

I think we all wanted to see you beat Paul with UW Cheons at least once

YAyy Paul in the vintage cube!!

Forcing someone to play mono-Magda is hilariously rude.

This Cube looks so much better than the one currently on MTGO. Just overall better card quality. Although i miss cards like Oblivion Ring, Mental Misstep, Ancestral Vision, Unsummon and Vedalken Shackles being in the Cubes. Not quite sure why those cards have been removed. Especially Oblivion Ring and Unsummon i miss. I feel like the other colors have gotten a buff and some of the UW answers have been removed. I'm sad about it lol. I like playing UW Cheon type decks.

UW Cheon time!

"my cube I've been tinkering a lot with lately" Pun intended?

Mana drain & 6 lands doesn't even consider a mulligan 😅

Caught this one early! Looking forward to UW control

Seems like LSV is much chirpier when he's playing against Cheons.

Made me realize we need Stunted Growth in cube. I miss that card. 🙃😅

Picking Snapy was the champ move

Great draft

LSV drafting UW Cheons between realLSV and Cheon...there is good in this world

What a Deck! 😍

Paul discarding memory jar feels very wrong. Decking LSV was a real possibility at that spot.

Nice change from the storm decks

the cheon slander continues

C H E O N B O N D

Maybe I missed it but did LSV really go a whole match without saying Echo of Cheons?

all this deck needed was an aetherling to be a 10/10 XD

If Cheon's joining the server, these videos are about to get a lot longer - as evidenced by round 1. And Paul has his own channel now, so I've got like 2.5 times the cube content to consume. I'm gonna have to start watching these on 1.25 speed

46:35 Echo of Cheons

luis, please add the cube cobra link of the cubes you are drafting into the description. thx

Wouldn't it have been worth swapping out an island for the underground sea since you had the marsh flats?

I saw a Jan Jansen in there. How new is that in your cube and how does it play? I have a Commander deck built around Jan and while I opted to go less combo focused and more synergy focused, I would be interested to hear your thoughts about it in cube. Let's be honest though, I would always like to hear your thoughts about MTG because I do learn quite a bit. Thanks for sharing!

You were one card away from being able to title this video Echo of Cheons 😢

Whenever anyone asks why you hate blue just show this draft 😅 especially the last game!

Fun deck

love some classic UW - is it at all possible to put the cube yall are drafting in the description or something? Hard to figure out when its your cube or alpha frog etc. Only ask because the gemstone mine you mentioned "I didnt add it" so not sure if back on alpha and someone got the 3-0 and added. Thanks for all the content!!

I know you said Force of negation, but can we please get a Horse of Negation in an unset or something?

disgustingly good😂😂

Is the card "eagles of the north" a reference to the Toronto Raptors? I guess it would have been rakdos if so. But every time I see that card I think of the raps

Classic role reversal. LSV drafts Cheons while Cheon drafts LSV fastbond draw 7s tinker shenanigans

This is my attempt to make the name "Blue Black Nassifs" happen

It's not a U/W Cheon's draft if you aren't hoping to see THE Cheonland for the latter half of the draft.

It's absolutely insane to think that One Ring was the worst card in the deck. There were plenty of times where you drew it and could have used it, but there was always something better. That's the mark of an incredibly strong deck.

Pack 2 pick one. You only had two white cards. I'm surprised fury wasnt a consideration. Im guessing not enough synergy in ruw?

Non Beta Wrath is heretical

All the times you made mana-screwed opponents draw bad creatures was just karma paying you back for Paul having turn 1 Fastbond all 3 games in match 1.

why would you keep a hand of 6 lands and 1 counter???????????

With the cantrips and mana requirements of your best card mana drain (which hopes to get snapcaster'd) and with cryptic in the deck I think that +1 island -1 plains is a pretty obvious change.

Can we talk about hoof last pick? Disrespectful...

UW LSVs

WHat happened to Glen Elendra Arch-mage?

UW control/hate draft dot deck

Nice videos. Any chance you can ever draft white, green, or red? We've seen a bunch of videos on blue control and reanimator. I know that aggro may not be your favorite deck but as an entertainer it would be interesting for those of us trying to pick up cube from you to learn about. Thanks!

Did Luis draft this on purpose just to meme on Cheon?

Has your evaluation good mana lands gone down? I've seen you pass so many duals and fetchlands over sometimes very marginal cards. I guess there's more lands than ever, but still seems pretty different to previous years

RELEASE THE CHEONS!

Can we not draft blue for once? No splashing either?

Look, i know you hate not running OG art for your cube, but would it be possible for you to run the Dig Through Time art featuring the dog digging??? Do it for the doggertoes

Magic is a zero sum game.

.

I am not a fan of Dig Through Time and I see it as a trap. There is alot of set up for it making it a spell that can’t be cast in the first few turns. It has anti synergy with cards that do care about the graveyard such as snapcaster. Lastly It’s double blue cost is what dooms it for me. Even if you are digging at only double blue, those 2 blue pips will most likely impact the rest of your turn unless you are mono blue, digging for a hard counter spell requires 4 untapped blue. The best use of DTT is for decks running pitch free instant spells so like this deck; so yah in the last 3 years this is the best DTT deck I’ve seen but even here it was just mediocre. It’s just not worth it imo.
