I take Future Sight pack 1, pick 1 and end up drafting this almost completely creature-free, scraping for playables control deck. I am somewhat skeptical that a deck like this can be successful, but it’s the last draft of the day and I’m just happy to be playing a style of deck that I love.

Draft 2 is the Trinket Cube. Didn’t look at the list and my draft felt pretty bad. Seems like there are some combos floating around and I’m not sure aimless Jeskai decent cards is a deck. We will see, I suppose!

Capitol Cube Champs thread! Full random, as per, and ended up in “Desert Bird”, a low power old school desert cube. p1p1 was FTK over Sulfuric Vortex, knowing I was almost certainly putting the player to my left in red. Pick 3 Fire Covenant felt cracked

We’re back for day two of Cube for a Cause: Obscura! I’m in the booth with @ollie.bostoncubeparty.com and @janemckinney.bsky.social and we will be covering Ollie’s cube “Dangerous”. What dangers await our 8 blind drafters?! twitch.tv/luckypapermtg

It’s @lyserg.bsky.social’s last cube night in America, so at his request he went full Bobby Fischer and triple queued in THREE cubes at once. He 3-0’d two of those drafts and none of his rounds went to time.

You should attend a cube event in a church with six pounds of carrots on the player snack table. It’s Salt Box weekend in Baltimore!

It’s easy to cut cards from your cube! Just remember that the person that added the card (you) is stupid!

Catching up on scanning the altered Ornithopters from Shoebox and doing a full inventory. I have a small conundrum: Do you count these ornithopters, with very minimal doodles, as “altered”? Do you think they were the result of a 3-0 draft, or just vandalized while being tallied?

It’s happening as we speak! @jenn-the-judge.bsky.social had the great idea to give the drafters something to remember the occasion by, so I scoured the bins at one of the vendors and @janemckinney.bsky.social helped me come up with this.

Day two stone soup at @shoebox.gg. I fucking love this format. I was skating for a long time with no win conditions while drafting this Jeskai control deck. I got the whale late pack 3 and I kinda don’t wanna play it just so I can say I’m fully creatureless.

Assuming it fires in every round, the 6th draft of 100 Ornithopters at @shoebox.gg will be the 69th draft, which I feel is important information for potential alterers to know. Ornithopter #69 is already named and claimed, though.

Late last year our cube playgroup outgrew our LGS and moved to a local brewery. I was worried we might struggle to find new people in the new space, but we’re 36 tonight with lots of new faces!

Not really an option. Window is set in a 14inch sill, and off center with the sink (which will be in the right corner, you can see where the old one was removed.

Free Cube idea for someone that feels inspired: a cube that only includes cards first printed in sets Richard Garfield was on the design team for. A very cool collection of sets/mechanics to build a cube around, with a compelling and concise log line.

What are some mechanically simple cards, ideally in black, that you would prefer to discard? I’ve already looked through all the cards with the madness mechanic, so no need to mention any of those.

I had 100 Ornithopters in the open play area at Cube Con and looking through the cube after the weekend to see the 3-0 alters I was heartbroken to find that someone drew OVER @klugalters.bsky.social's incredible Ornithopter. I assume someone thought it was just a different printing of the card? 😭😭😭

Going REALLY hard on strong motivations to play things other times could be very cool. Addendum, for example. But a card like Moderation, to me, is the perfect example of why not committing to 100% instant speed could be cool. What a sick payoff.

Snapcaster Mage the GOAT, would love to see multiples in a cube like this. Perilous Research, Caller of the Claw, and Dress Down also come to mind.

Guy listens to ONE of the 2-3 episodes per year where we actually address Magic more broadly instead of SPECIFICALLY FOCUSING ON THE ASPECTS WE LOVE LIKE WE DO EVERY SINGLE WEEK. I rate this listener 0 out of 5 stars.

I haven’t been keeping up with my #cubetuesday posts, but it’s a heater this week. We rotisserie BUILT a RUG cube in our playgroup and I drafted this.

Maybe Drana, Liberator of Malakir for first strike? What card is the most exemplary use of Flying? Or lifelink?

Fun game @phantooom.bsky.social just invented: for each evergreen keyword ability, what is the card that uses it best? For example: Celestial Colonnade is the best use of vigilance, Ball Lightning is the best use of Trample, etc.

Second draft of the day is “Tresserhorn Gardens”, which appears to be a more or less power max grixis cube. I think my deck is a bit of a mess. Lost r1g1 to an on curve Gut, True Zealot, sideboarded and kept an opener g2 with Meathook Massacre and Confluence, and opponent played Sheoldred 🙃
