You actually get infinite mana with the basalt monolith and the gadgeteer not just zirda. That would’ve been great for this deck

Sweet, finish an LSV vintage cube draft and immediately find a Reid vintage cube draft to wash it down with. Lmao, “They forgot my piece of power” to open the video. Too good. What a day to double dip on cubing.

Total whoosh on the infinite mana with Gadgeteer and Basalt Monolith.

with urza, some of the time black lotus is on-color mox. so you take it.

Sapphire was 100% the pick there. Good choice

That orzhov deck was awesome to see in action

Being excited about Thopter Foundry coming around is kinda clownshoes after passing Basalt monolith when you already have Zirda and Forensic Gadgeteer...

Prioritizing staying on color over pure power level early in cube is a big mistake imo. Solitude is so much better than TNN that P1P2, taking Solitude seemed like a no brainer to me.

Mox Sapphire is my pick in that spot. Being an artifact matters deck means you want it to stick around.

Thought Scout over third path iconoclast is wild to me. That card is SO GOOD with urza.

The more i look at it i think its a big miss not to take portal when you have workshop and mana vault and urza seems like a slam dunk, nice interaction and can solidify the creature light approach by bringing their creatures back . This deck could have easily hard cast it. At worst it would have been a sweet sideboard in creature match ups. To focused on have to have tinker.... workshop basically a free roll since your mono blue heavy artifacts already

Ain’t no way Reid doesn’t know what gadgeteer does 🤣

I agree with the sapphire pick. The long-term stability is greater than the one-time explosiveness of the lotus in this deck

Omg I didn't think reid could talk that fast haha

08:29 easiest bolt of my life

I’m more surprised he didn’t take senseis top since he had mystic forge and mishras

Worried about how you might look picking fractured over foundry then proceeding to pick talisman over monolith immediately after picking gadgeteer - what am I watching hahaha

I was iffy on it but would have gone with lotus. You fool!

imagine getting passed a lotus

I think we can agree if Thopter Foundry didn't say nontoken artifact it would Definetly create some problems

With how combo centric the cube is now days, how sweet would it be of they added a demonstrate loop option- record my next game actions and repeat x times unless interacted with so you dont have to eat a bunch of clock up on combos/ triggers etc..

Reid should get some LSV coaching

Was gunna say when picking up shelly that it's not always good only really when you get to cheat a bit but hey it's early can pick stuff up and then think forgot it was in cause never seemed to consider that on picks. Like is it really worth it if you are spending 2 mana and putting a tap land in to maybe if you are lucky and fulfill the requirements cast a 5 drop off it?

Reid Duke with a Mox Sapphire, best combo

55:19 play saheeli and make an artifact a copy of the construct for lethal?

1:12:52 why evoke when you can cast and have the same number of blockers here? Lets you have another creature next turn and keeps mana leak. would've still died but hey

This guy is considered a pro

Didnt read the new card

Players get to caried away with having to feel like they have to companion zirda, in this instance it is fine to just main deck it. Same things go for lurrus even though it is easier to companion it and i would rather do it but especially lurrus i find a way to get it in if possible as it is just nuts in most decks that can abuse it

Why not play workshop? And should have slammed that portal. Also even debating that p3p3 was crazy that was a windmill slam Kappa ! To bad coveted jewel was the pack before workshop even though not a whole lot of ways to protect it. I am not as hugh on fractured identity anymore but this deck does have the mana for it

Woulda thought he knew about basalt/gadgeteer. He needs some lessons from LSV.

P2 p1 is bolt

1:04:21 comment is ReiDakted 😅

bruh gadget monolith missed infinte mana

M1G3 naming Zuran Orb with Revoker was a poor play, any of his planeswalkers were a better option and Dack in particular is the worst against your deck.

Turn 1 nemesis, urza, sahili, etc. How was it not lotus? lol

Lotus every time

I would have taken the Mox over the Lotus with what you had going. There was no guarantee you'd be playing Kozilek at that point and my only justification for Lotus otherwise would be t2 Jace.

for all the people talking about the basalt monolith gadgeteer infinite mana, thopter foundry urza just wins the game he does not have a balista or something for all that mana
