They've already got the best carrying case and deckbox on the market, why not the best sleeves? #notsponsored #unless... Makes everything that much easier if I can trust one company for all my accessories. You guys looking to make dice next? Maybe a storm token or twelve? Funny Elephant Buttons?

In what’s become something of a #Gencon tradition I got to draft @aquaone.bsky.social ‘s Powered Vintage Cube! This deck went 2-1, losing in the finals to countering my Natural Order with Reprieve into fiery confluence for lethal. Stuff like this is why I love these. #CubeWillOutliveMagic

Went 3-3 for 15th place at the #Gencon2026 Eternal Weekend Prelim! Deck was a bit clunky at times but not bad for my first legacy event since 2018. Would have been 4-2 if I didn’t lose 9 Ral flips in a row 😰 🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱

Okay, seriously? It’s JULY. We shouldn’t have Halloween stuff up in July. You should at least have to wait until Labor Day.

The Peasant Signpost Maze is a cube I’ve been working on for over a decade, and I’d love the chance to show it off at CubeCon this year! If you can spare a vote I’d appreciate it!

Never in my life have I been so happy to do tax paperwork.

A W-9 Tax Identification form. I have to fill one out because i played cards and they’re giving me money. If they give me too much money they have to tell the government how much of it should belong to them or something.

0-1 to 5-2 to 5-4 and out at #SCGCINCINNATI. Still my best finish at an RC and I felt like I played as best as I could hope. Deck choice and tech pieces went well but just couldn’t put it all together. We go next!

I may have to start doing an “over/under people mistaking me for @fireshoes.bsky.social on the #SCGCincinnati floor” prop bet. Halfway through round 3 I’m putting the line at 3.5. Any takers?

If I had a nickel for every time the team captain for a Professional Sports Team from Indianapolis had a career year derailed by a torn Achilles knocking them out for a full season in 2025 I'd have two nickels. Which isn't much but it sucks that it's happened twice.

Hoping a #MTG historian can help. We know Izzet decks are strong in standard. Been the best color pair for 8 months and got 7 cards banned in two waves. But seriously, when’s the last time UR has been this good? Was there a STX/KHM control deck? Was it KLD/SOI energy? Let me know what I missed!

@cubecon.org was generous enough to include Lucky Paper Radio’s 100 Ornithopters cube for open play. It took two tries but I finally got a 3-0! This lets me name and doodle on any Ornithopter I drafted. Presenting the newest addition to the ranks of the Named: Ornithopter #39 - Biomass Mutant

A picture of Ornithopter #39 from Andy Mangold’s 100 Ornithopters Cube altered by me as a prize for winning the cube draft. The spires broken off the tallest towers still fly below the Mutant Thopter.

4-2 at the Cincy Club CubeCon today! Went 2-1 in both pods, only losing to the 3-0 both times. Had a blast and a good tuneup for Madison in a few months. Cube 1: Combo Cube. No worries, just make crazy happen with perfect fixing.
