The Black Lotus Lurrus Deck I've Been Dreaming Of | Vintage Cube Draft

  • Lurrus has been a faithful companion recently, though honestly I've opened Black Lotus so many times that it's feeling like one too. This is one of the more busted decks I've ended up with, and the games were sick too.

      @TaisxD Před 6 měsíci +1

      ​@@troyrussell177 Reid makes a lot of considerations before telling about them for sure. He is playing on a whole other level than LSV though. LSV plays fast and loose and laughs when he makes a mistake (i know he's capable of playing more seriously but it's just cube). Reid takes every game quite seriously and makes sure to always learn from his mistakes.
      If you want entertainment LSV is by far the better option but if you wanna up your game, I'd take Reids stream any day

    I had a deck like this yesterday. Black Lotus, Lurrus, and a slug of awesome 4 drops to power into on turn 1. Even got to turn 2 fractured identity a reanimator opponent. This is the kind of deck that makes vintage cube special... crazy stylized archetypes built around the best cards in the game's history.

      Definitely a thoughtseize or even duress would have helped his deck sk much, to beat that force for example. A force of his own (negation or will) would have filled a similar role. Shouldn’t “dispel” be in the cube btw!?

    24:40 is there a reason why this play is worse than just playing top? put back top + land, frantic search using 3 blue sources but float a black, untap the swamp so you can cast lurrus, recast top from graveyard. I guess you wouldn't have a mana floating to spin but you could spin upkeep so seems reasonably good.

  • @brianh5844
    @brianh5844 Před 6 měsíci +8

    That second game of match 2 was winnable, you just needed to start with high tide. That would net you 3 additional mana that turn, which means when your lotus gets forced, you can then cabal ritual into yawg will and win very easily. Talisker might go for forcing the draw instead of the lotus if they see you have more mana to work with, but at least you have a better shot, and if he does that, at worst you get to keep up karakas to not lose on the spot and have a chance at winning next turn (which should be pretty easy).

    • @theothersamb2320
      @theothersamb2320 Před 6 měsíci +7

      that requires foreknowledge that your top 3 are lotus/rit/will. The default play there is to run out top and then plan to grasp the giant and karakas boo.

    • @brianh5844
      @brianh5844 Před 6 měsíci +4

      @@theothersamb2320 The deck was pretty broken, I think it's fine to go for the gusto and start with high tide. There are so many possible cards in the top 3 that make that the best route. You also have Lorien Revealed in hand, so casting high tide still lets you take the line of lorien+top into leave up Karakas. I don't know if I would worry about Grasp, since it only saves you 2 damage and trying to leave it up restricts the ability to lorien that turn.
