  • This version of the Arena Cube is a ton of fun, and this tokens deck was a blast - come for the Psychic Frog, stay for the fetchland manabase (and the great BW deck, of course).

    the emperor of bones on arena is really annoying. You have to hold full control but then when you go to the graveyard select screen you can see in bottom right that it takes off full control, so you have to do it again while on that screen. Love the draft!

    That was a great video. The quality of arena cube has gotten really really good over the last year or two. A good 70 or 80% is easily just vintage cube now in quality. And many alchemy cards are just busted.
    If they just add power, all of which is already in arena, it would be a strong competitor to vintage cube.

      Agree that key is good but disagree that he made a mistake. Pack 3 his deck is mostly solidified, a token low curve creature deck doesn’t rly need key. Part of why it’s good in draft is cause it’s colorless so u can pick early without committing much . He’s committed here

    @DuckyEdea Před měsícem

    Am I crazy for preferring Godless Shrine over Marsh Flats Pack 2 Pick 3? An untapped BW dual for the 3 fetches Luis already had seemed more important to me. I have no doubt that Luis made the right pick, and I also realise cube draft isn't an exact science at times, but I think I'm struggling to figure out how to objectively prioritise fetches/fetchables in a situation like that.

    Had a thoroughly disgusting 7-0 run with one going infinite on turns. One game opponent played an Etali to possibly take it, then I top deck the blue artifact to copy Etali and we both ephemerated our Etalis, wild game. Now, I can once again uninstall and try not to play a bunch of bloomburrow drafts in two weeks. Gambling addiction is no joke, kids!

    also i think you should've taken the parlor over watery grave it follows the same logic of being fetchable by 2 of your fetches and it casts some of your cards(lingering souls at this point) plus the surveil is obviously great and the creature centric focus of this cube makes shocks a little worse compared to vintage cube

  • @Zii_Vii
    @Zii_Vii Před měsícem

    The full control issue is a frustrating design choice by them. I don't understand why they have things that automatically take you out of it. I wish they would set it to full control until turned off. I had this very same issue happen to me this qualifier weekend. Fortunately it didn't affect the outcome of the game, but it is very tilting to contend with what I'll otherwise call a bug during a high stakes event.

    • @LunaLasceria
      @LunaLasceria Před měsícem

      Full control until turned off is what "Hold Full Control" (Shift+Ctrl) is. Regular "Full Control" (just Ctrl) is only temporary -- it turns itself off when it thinks you're done with the action you were trying to use full control for. Basically, if you want the behavior you describe, use Hold Full Control.
