The Magic Show Mirrodin Besieged Top 10 Cube Cards

[njmickel4]

A cube is a draft format, but instead of drafting through booster packs, you draft from a preset group of cards.

[jimmybrown11111]

Go for the throat loses to terminate.

[jimmybrown11111]

You don't like Blightsteel Colossus? probably because it absolutely rapes combined with Tinker, Copper Gnomes etc.

[ChaXcesouXza913]

Im new to magic so can someone explain to me what a cube is?

[mrorangeguy]

@ChaXcesouXza913 Cubedrafting dizzot com is where I write about the format :)

[deathflys44]

lol it always seem i get priest of norn for every booster

[BBoyTarzan510]

dude kinf od looks liek seth rogan

[007grog3]

He's just... Gigantic... LUHLUHLAHLUHLAH

[jrdudedj]

Troll is a beast. I want five of them, four for my deck, and one incase someone fucks with me on the bus.

[OnFieldSamurai]

Could someone please explain contested war zone? i dont understand how it works.

[iLITTER]

@OnFieldSamuraiif Pro-Tip: Read the card, it will tell you how it works.

[aquamanlikesmen]

Massacre Wurm- its amazing against white weenie decks and if you use a card to give it infect its a game winner.

[fireworks1792]

can we get Patrick Chapin as your co-host? he's a genius and he has an amazing personality . how could you go wrong?

[rmgustaf]

Wow, I didn't know Seth Rogen knew so much about Magic!

[MyDormantSoul]

@rmgustaf nah b its Aesop Rock.

[Pillow676]

This was sweet.

[Mifoi]

I love Matt he's really cool and beleivable in his comments... Nice work!

P.S.: I would love some more cube talk/draft/analysis... Please! :)

[Jabari3131]

Reminiscent of the One on One interviews with Chapin from days long past... In other words, great work Evan!

[DarkriderHenshin]

Best co-host period.

[MikulOnIce85]

Matt was a really good co host to see, I'd like to ask to have him co host again please.

[mestiarcanus]

Best co-host yet.

[edgewalker18]

Can somebody explain, in a little more detail, how Contested War Zone is so good? If all your opponent has in play is a Keiga, then how will they "take a million?"

[b3ASTk1N]

@edgewalker18 its battle cry on a land.

you would need to leave a blocker of some sort however the turn it hits u swing and give ur guys a power boost.

from then on any other use is icing on the cake. kind of a 1 mana rally

[onlainari]

Hi Evan.

Sadin is not a good on camera, just suck it up and accept it.

This guy is good.

[iloverikku714]

what is a led.

[wallashame]

@iloverikku714 Lion's Eye Diamond 

[Brahz]

With Red Sun's Zenith you get X RFG where x is toughness .. No fear of any graveyard effects that are prevalent in the cube.

Green Sun's Zenith grabs every green creep you have from your library into play for 1G extra. Nishoba? Spirit Monger? ugh the limits are endless!

[fes12in]

whats cube?

[grundy9golem]

Best video with you in front of the camera ... by far, Evan! You were obviously talking about something you were EXCITED about. Even if not everyone cares about cube, you and Matt clearly do, and that's what made this fun to watch.

[ryfralic]

This is the guy who you (Evan) need to have at your side during the Magic Show. He is leagues better than Sadin and the best co-host you've had yet. Please, More Matt!

[shade367]

MORE MATT

[ronniepooch]

Evan... Matt is the type of guy who has solid opinions and thoughts on magic. he can like and also dislike some cards... and validate why. He's VERY interesting to listen to. Can he do more video reviews with you?

[ronniepooch]

what is a magic cube? can anyone clearly describe this to me?

[JedahMA]

The word is "Runners-up," actually. There is more than one runner, but only one up.

[SirFritzalot]

I like this episode the most as far as the new format goes. I'm sure you've already gotten enough crap from everybody else about the sadin eps, but I think it goes a long way when you appear to be as comfortable and natural as you do in this episode. It just seems like an informative, but casual conversation between magic players, which I think is what people really want.

[MBP765]

MORE MATT!

[Guaranteed2fail]

Wild non-awkward co-host appears!

[magemerl]

Just to echo everyone else, I think that this was the best of your 'new format' magic shows.

Bloopers.outtakes at the end of each show are good too.

It seemed like you were missing some guys too. The white doublestriker? Black Zenith? go for the throat?

[magemerl]

Just to echo everyone else, I think that this was the best of your 'new format' magic shows.

Bloopers.outtakes at the end of each show are good too.

[Pringlesman]

...No Mirran Crusader? No Hero of the Bladehold? I think those are better than the etbt signet and the awkwardness which is contested grounds.

[balthorpayne]

Best episode yet. This is the co-host you need. Actually, the guy who looked at the financial side of MBS was good too. Rotating co-hosts, perhaps?

[weihoozie]

Sadin's a pretty cool guy, he's like Evan Jr. and isn't afraid of anything. Seriously though he aint bad. I don't mind seeing him in the show at all.

[keichishoshuko]

so when is the next cube update erwin?

[edgewalker18]

Glenn Jones = Good

Matt G. = Good

Ben B. = Good

Justin Bieber = Bad

Steve Sadin = Horrific

Yeah...he's worse than Justin Bieber.

[mtgsean]

I hated this new format of the show until this episode... good work, much more relaxed, friendly and actually intelligent comments.... less scripted and more fun.

[ulqiora44]

WHAT IS CUBE

[motherspitchfork]

@ulqiora44 THe Cube is everyone playing with the best cards of your collection.

[ulqiora44]

@motherspitchfork do you still use lands how many cards per deck and is it like all colors or mono-dual color

[motherspitchfork]

@ulqiora44 look up

[motherspitchfork]

@ulqiora44 sry I can't seem to leave a web address here, go to SCG and look up the cube.

[maxxus176]

Seth Rogan?! oh wait nvm -____-

[paddleman256]

matt has glasses wth, that annoyed the hell out of me

[tito9090]

I liked Glenn [the not reading the script Glenn]

I liked Matt [a really cool guy]

Never invite Sadin again }=( I command you...please =/

[Darklordbrink]

No Inkmoth Nexus?

[Rowsol84]

I like this guy but I like jones more.

[lukemccown]

Sadin's too nerdy, Jones seems like a dick, but this guy is a real person.

[WhopperSr]

No more Steve Sadin

[MaestroAtomic]

He's so much better than Sadin and Jones (and the other guys for that matter). You can understand what he says, he isn't awkward, and he has funny and insightful things to say. Great show!

[myleskreiter]

/salute

[Snakysharky]

I realy realy like so much videos :) makes me happy :D

[markofthenewells]

I don't even play cube and I liked this video. This is the best so far in the new format. Keep mixing it up!

[Lvl10CPU]

Hey Evan, listen to me, because apparently I have more experience on how to run your show than you do

[yeehawmckickass]

By far the best of the new videos. Excellent rapport between the two of you, sound was great, and the framing of the video is great.

[BobReefer]

THIS IS BETTER, AS LONG AS THERES NO STEVE FUCKING SATAN SADIN.

[eidolon232]

While I don't 100% agree with your rating, I really like how you natural you two presented it without leaving the viewers aside.

So +1 for more episodes with Matt in the future.

[Duskraven377]

These last few shows were so much better than the commentaries with Steve Sadin. Nothing against Sadin personally, but these shows were comfortable and conversational and looked spontaneous, whereas the Sadin card analysis shows felt like you guys were scripting the whole thing.

[prothico]

Love matt. Put him in the show against for sure.

[dyne313]

Phryexian Revoker would totally screw over Yawgmoth's Bargin.

[DerekScottBland]

I'm surprised that the Blue Sun's Zenith wasn't included as an upgrade to Braingeyser, which a lot of people still ran to have a second massive drawspell alongside Stroke of Genius

[Alashify]

This video goes to show the importance of a strong co-host, and was far the best for me since you embarked on this new format. I'd like to see more of Matt in the future.

[P1NG]

In this format of a show, Mr. Erwin, you need to have great speakers with personalities. Like this guy, your co-hosts need to just have a conversation with you and the viewer, not thinking about the fact they are being recorded or that you are working on a show. Bring Matt back multiple times.

[dkninjafpc]

@P1NG I agree. Matt looks and sound great on camera and interacts with Evan very well. These top 10 videos are a lot better than the videos you posted about every card in the set. In these videos they're conversing about specific cards and why they are awesome or bad.

In the set review videos, it was pretty much, and I'm summarizing here: Card 1: "Ooooh." Card 2: "Aaah." Card 3: "Meh." Only spending 2-3 seconds on each card does not a good video make.

[metalmacbeth]

@P1NG OR GLENN JONES

[Krazedkarl]

You still had Darksteel in ya cube. O-o

[czeluff]

Never disagreed more with your Cube updates as I have with Beseiged.

I follow wtwlf123's Cube on mtgsalvation. I think the Green, Red, and Black Zeniths are all worth it. Sphere of the Suns might be needed for yours because you support a heavy amount of Multicolor but that's another argument completely.

Hero of Bladehold and Consecrated Sphinx are two cards that I'm amazed weren't in the top 10. After a few playtests, I began to understand their power.

[Nabby111]

cube drafts use all the best cards in the gane,

[PhilBarber23]

what is a cube (not the shape :P ) ?

[LuckyT421]

@PhilBarber23 It is a pre-constructed set of cards that you form into random packs and draft with others.

[sticknstump]

just watched the top 10 commander! Now this is up! I like the increase in videos Evan and I can't wait to see what else you have up your sleeve!

[xMrDonutx]

I'm really loving how the show is going now! Ill always miss the old format but this one is really growing on me. Keep up the good work. Can't wait to see deck lists on the show post Besieged!

[fireworks1792]

first? lolz first time i've been first
