That’s a wrap. My deepest thanks to everyone — staff, judges, volunteers, cube designers, the weather gods, the Parched Pug, Gwen at HedronNetwork, and, of course, players like you — who made this event not just possible, but a great time.

Organizers, minus Kyle, who we will all mock.

Mingos will say it's theirs, but real ones know we have joint custody. Our eighth cube is TREVA'S RUINS, an old-bordered GWU desert cube by Luke. It's truly a masterpiece for the sickos who know how to break parity on Stasis.

Are you in it to pin it? Sixteen of these pins are going home with the players who outdraft, outbuild, and outplay the rest of their pods. The remaining nine will be fed to anyone who 0-6s.

It’s shockingly easy to be green in the Mono-G Cube, a brew by friend and local end boss Ellie C. Your mana? Ramped. Your enchantresses? Triggered. Your counters? Doubled. Your artifacts and enchantments? Sleeping with one eye open. And your fatties? Brother, you better believe they’re extra thicc.

I’m just a mean green mother from outer space, and I’m…

really fun to play ignore the song lyrics :)

Fine. We'll just try one more t- I can't. I'm done. There is no way to get a nice color-balanced pack out of this cube. I admit defeat. What's everyone's #P1P1 from this evil collection of cards that is out to get me?
