We went off the beaten path with this deck, as I combined the speed and power of ninjas with some excellent fixing and a selection of the Cube’s best cards. Genius, or madness?

Library of Alexandria feels a lot like Fastbond to me. If you have it in your opening hand with the right supporting cards, it's absolutely busted. But it's a horrible top deck, and even in certain opening hands, it's not amazing.
Seems like whenever LSV starts to get decent mana he adds a colour. Even choosing worse cards for the deck (DT over mana drain in a non-combo deck) to support it. The only reason to play more colours is to play bombs that you otherwise couldn't, not to play worse cards so you can play worse mana. The payoff just isn't there, there's more than enough good cards in two or three colours. It's hard to overstate how much of a disadvantage bad mana gives you, it's roughly equivalent to giving your opponent power. There's a huge difference between 'good enough' and actually good.
LSV always seems to really enjoy when he actually drafts focused, consistent decks and it's great to watch. He lost to a couple of five colour decks a year or so ago and it seems like it permanently altered his brain chemistry to need to go 4-5 colour whenever he gets three fetches or 3 colours of cards.

The MTGO Gods have Sandy passing to LSV or LAV passing to Sandy often lol
Flash fun
I would so much take the opal😳, then relic, bankbuster, foundry….
Worst Deck in a while. Painfull yet entertaining 🙂
Does anyone know which cube is this, and if so where can I finde the list? Thanks! 🙏
Yeah but what happened to Mack?
I hope we get to see the video of the 3 pick per turn sheet draft he was talking about
It's almost like MTGO came out in 2002
A card you almost never draft is Esika's Chariot, but you have lost plenty when opponents play it.
Maybe it should be a tad higher on your picking list Luis!
I miss you showing off your teammates' decks in these team drafts!
Surprised not to see undermountain even get a small consideration in P2P1, you already have 2 free green sources and many cheap flyers. It really looks like a sick initiative/monach deck and it’s only the start of the 2nd pack.
"I've got an easy green splash here if I want it"
passes Undermountain without even looking at it
My only thought is maybe you are trying to draft fair decks too often in an unfair cube. Perhaps the fetchland over emrakul pick was where you went off course. Alternatively high power cubes are swingy. Pretty sure there was no combination of cards that would have won you match 2
This was a hot 4c filter trible
Is picking a fetch land over a Wasteland ideal, if the Wasteland can be used to limit the colors the fetch land helps you fix for?
You could have not attacked with the bat alongside the adventurer, one more blocker and you see one less card. (at the 31:00)
6:05 You describe Karakas as washed. How closely connected is that to the power level of all the initiative creatures?
could we move on from the powermax cube? It's gotten a bit stale.
Plz play and post the arena cube LSV 🙏
This is just not a library deck, you want to be dumping cards.
