Magic TV: Extra - Grapeshot Elves on a Budget

[StreethingX]

Half the people hating don't even attend GPs or PTs. Noobs will be noobs, they talk a lot of shit but when you see them they're constantly digging throught junk rares like beggars.

[Kryptnyt]

Of course he's nervous. He's in the presence of a legend. LSV is nervous too. Familiarity with Humphrey doesn't change the sense of awe he inspires in those around him

[BoredTelevision1234]

he will never be pro because he does not sideboard

[L337wizard]

the kids cool, you guys r dicks.

[nara808]

lol glimpse is only like 6 bucks

[mrprtrcr]

all u haters STFU - this is exactly the kind of attitude that really gets to me. It's not like chapin or the ruel brothers are trying to build budget vintag,e it's just a 13-14 year old kid that LSV is helping out. This type of haters are extremely harmful to the game and to the community.

[tukale]

This is painful to watch...

[D4rk3z]

Be careful with the buttoms of LSV's shirt bc at any time will kill anyone

[CTastic1]

I want Mashi back, not these bumbling idiots.

[angelf1]

AHHAHAHAHAHHAA lsv looks like kid with an attention disorder at the beginning

[Nigglips]

fuck this kid get a part time job and buy a real deck

i can understand why they are doing this though,

[Frankacy]

Oh God this was all sorts of terrible. Glimpse of Nature is hella not expensive.

[madfrog1]

That's awesome of LSV to sit down with a young player to give his advice/insight to.

[tjhuang]

No sideboard in Vintage? How generous. Ichorid's getting a free ride from this kid :)

[Akab6]

Im sorry Im a bit of a noob, but could someone explain how grapeshot is played? I've been trying to figure it out for a bit now looking at decklists for this deck and stuff. I don't see any red mana producers or any cards that let you play something without casting cost...

[metaforte]

Usually with birchlore rangers (1/1 for 1G, morph G, tap 2 untapped elves to add 1 mana of any color) to add red.

[SkirataNightShade]

birchlore rangers lets you tap two elves you control to add one mana of any color to your mana pool, so that solves the casting cost bit.

the way grapeshot elves is played is that you play either A. Nettle sentinel & birchlore rangers, or B. Heritage Druid & nettle sentinel + another elf.

After that, you have a consistent mana source to play all the cards in your hand, as heritage druid and birchlore rangers' abilities are not affected by summoning sickness.

[SkirataNightShade]

after that happens, you play glimpse of nature/ whatever other draw engine you have and play lots of elves until you draw grapeshot and get a high enough storm count to hit for lethal damage.

(both comments @Akab6)

[MetalJohn3]

you will need krosin grip for if someone plays humility or moat against you

[JeremyOrOmega]

Wow that kid is gonna lose every time he plays.

Im not saying this to be mean, but his strategy is awful.

1. No sideboard in vintage?! really? Its 15 cards! just put them in already.

2. using a deck that has already been played in one form or another, people will be expecting it. (which is what the sideboard is for, but of course hes not using one.)

3. Budget Vintage? Im sorry, but if he cant afford a glimpse of nature or two he wont be able to get the cards vintage is all about.

[WhopperSr]

Agreed, this is sad, why is LSV talking to this noob who wants to play "Budget" Vintage, this kid needs to gtfo.

[thaisativa1]

who iz dis chink

[Ballinlolz]

haha this is funny becuase i put together a budget version yesterday

[Enfeeblement]

Jesus, give the kid a break. I think he did a great job despite his obvious nerves and was quite knowledgeable on the subject at hand. Also, he looks to be 14 or something, I think he did a pretty good job talking to someone twice his age.

[KilliaK]

So much hate....

I like this ep, something different and also teaching is a very good thing.

Great Extra!

[JBH2989]

Watching this kid made me angry. "Unfortunately, I don't play sideboards."

What?

[barneylovesbeagle]

he prob dont have money for the side OR he doesnt know what to side in or what the meta is! Hes a noob, if u test with out a side its OK but a tournament u need it

[doublerotatinghelix]

how do you not play sideboard in vintage/legacy..... thats just asking to lose...

[bruisermoore]

This kid is the Asian McLovin'! This is one of the greatest compliments I can give to someone. The video was informative and helpful as well. Everyone acts as if LSV and Mashi do a great job to begin with when most comments on here and channel fireball are bashing them after each video is posted.

[doublerotatinghelix]

I mean its fine that he is nervous, but LSV is giving him great advice, and the kid is like, well I dont have any money for that, well I dont play sideboard... COME ON KID, DONT PLAY VINTAGE LOL, most expensive format hands down if your just building decks for it....

sorry, I dont wanna be mean, but this just bothered, take his advice kid...

[hungsolow123]

I know this is childish, but if you take a look at LSV's crotch, it looks like camel toe. Some serious camel toe.

[Gardevi]

Why are you looking there?

[hungsolow123]

@Gardevi The way LSV is sitting one can't help but notice.

Are you really THAT much of a prude?

[hungsolow123]

Do people have so little self esteem that they need to bash the guy? If he was a dickhead, I would be joining in, but he's just nervous. LEAVE BRYAN ALONE!!! he he... but seriously, I've learned over the years that Magic is full of really angry wannabe-nerds and geeks.

[raptorcardz]

I couldn't watch this, gotta work soon and don't want to be sick.

[Philson]

Move over little kid! Let Mashi do the talking!

[locustkllr]

Okay i didnt appreciate Mashi before. Now i do.

[ThePacificCrossing]

why dont you have a sideboard?

[WickedDealer]

You can tell at the beginning LSV is like why the fuck am I being forced to talk to this fucking kid. God I gonna be somewhere else.

[Irgamerhearmerawr]

LSV make love to me. i mean help me build a deck. =O

[kariido1]

The kid was a nervous wreck lol.

[Caladors]

His talking to perhaps the master of vintage and he most proberly didn't expect to come on the show but they were like want to get some advice ON VIDEO?

His still going to want to do it because he gets to hang with LSV but that doesn't mean he has to be confident

[YoshiOfADown]

Booo we want Mashi!

[cmbmaster]

Too many Um's and Uh's. Learn to speak with confidence, kid.

[lKILLGIANTS]

budget vintage ... hahahahahahahahahahahaha

[drummerboysareawesom]

Sry I can't even finish the video. This is awful.

[drummerboysareawesom]

This kid makes my balls cringe. The interview was horrible.

[SkirataNightShade]

uhhh..... how do you plan on exploiting Skullclamp? The draw effect only works when the equipped creature is put into the graveyard. How do you destroy the creatures?

[lKILLGIANTS]

@SkirataNightShade

clamp gives +1/-1

[SkirataNightShade]

@ IKILLGIANTS

i honestly did not notice that, thnx

[SaintInferno]

it gives +1/-1 so it will kill most of the creatures when it gets equipped

[Irgamerhearmerawr]

skullclamp gives +1-1 so if the creature is a 1/1 then it dies on the spot and you get the 2 cards, thats why its baned in legacy and extended.

[daynrk]

why is this video on here most people that watch channelfireball vids can afford to spend a couple hundred dollars on a deck especially for vintage

[overkill78]

For people that...you know...CAN'T spend a couple hundred dollars on a deck?

[aaaaaaaaooooooo]

For people who just want to copy a whole deck, this video means nothing. For people who know why a particular card was chosen, whether if it has to be there or can be substituted, this video is very useful. It gives understanding, even if you don't want to build the budget deck they're talking about.

[Wedgehead123]

Wish this kid was a better player and knew what he was talking about more. Regardless, it was a fun but not really relevant to anything.
