Decided it was time to let go my of Pikachu with Grey Felt Hat, as it hit absurd value…Acquired for 200 GBP two and a half years ago and now happily sold which allowed me to acquire: Two FWB Volcanic Islands, an FBB Shivan Dragon and The Venice Island, after a trip to Italy 🇮🇹

Trying out Satoru in #MtGLegacy. Fiddled the Gaze/Breakthrough count. M.Trap in the board over Unmask. Ran 1-3, 2-2 and 3-1. Likely next tweak is down one Ichorid for a second Dread Return. Islets have not delivered as dredge enabler, keeping them to see if I’m not actually missing opportunities :)

Ran back this Dredge 75 at the weekly #MtGLegacy and finished 2-2 again. Won against Lands & Deadguy. Lost to Ruby & Epic Storm. Most games against Storm were awful. Also, lots of Leylines in the room today. Crushed with this near perfect 5 we kept last game against Deadguy! Hand my Gazes well :)

Thomas Krone @cubevitational.bsky.social · 07/04/2026

Happily attended our #MtGVintage bi-monthly again! Ran Pitch Dredge with Wasteland and OuaT. Lost to monoBlack (Voidwalker, which I didn’t plan for) and Raker Shops. Then beat Lavinia and Goblins. I like this build, but considering going back to Bridges & more discard, possibly losing countermagic.

Ran back this Dredge 75 at the weekly #MtGLegacy and finished 2-2. Crushed Burn & Eldrazi not boarding at all. Fumbled an early Gaze against Phelia Riddler (setting up a Coliseum draw then Dredging it away instead) which destroyed my chances. Then had no game against Blue Post. Unmask best SB card.

Back at the weekly #MtGLegacy after a two week hiatus. Minor tweaks, including more German swaps. Finished 1-3, all matches going to three games. Making some bad calls. Gaze was good a maximizing the draws I didn’t replace, but was bad at getting action into the ‘yard today. Firestorm best SB card.

I know no one cares BUT I’ve been playing FIFA 22 Career Mode with Wrexham the past fout years, at some point acquiring Callum Doyle. Today I found out he actually plays for Wrexham currently. How good am I?

Ran hot at yesterday’s #MtGLegacy weekly! Cut the third Breakthrough for that fourth Gaze I wanted. Have had bad results with the setup-Breakthrough, like it more a ‘Looting’ with LED. Lost the finals after a 3-0 (6-0) run. Flayer delivered and Ox over performed, likely swapping out Hogaak for FKZ.

Thomas Krone @cubevitational.bsky.social · 12/02/2026

Back to playing #MtGLegacy because I have time and never sold my beloved Dredge pile. First week 2-2 with classic Putrid Imp & Careful Study build. Then switched to Otherworldly Gaze, bigger Dread Return suite and more Poxwalkers, finishing 1-3 and 0-4. Now back to a smaller suite. Want a 4th Gaze?

I ran Vermin Tempo Reanimator in our #MtGCube #CubeVitational Q7/2026, with a 1-2 record. Had a lot of fun playing this deck, sadly my ability to punt never fails. How I Tidebinded a Thoughtlash activation instead of the incoming Thassa’s Oracle is beyond me…

fact - Oracle of The Alpha reads like a fun Magic card I’d like to Cube with fact - it does diddly squat in my Vintage Cube environment question - can we run it in a 720 card Legacy Cube?

whelp… I may have gone overboard. Ordered 6 new WCD, bringing my total up to 20. With that I have some years completed: 2004, 2003 & 2002. I used to only own Champions decks, but playing games within a metagame is so much more interesting. Looking forward to organizing a other session with these :)

CubeOpen Hamburg 2025 is a wrap and it was a blast! First place goes to Rowan, who specially flew in from the UK to humiliate the german player base. Well deserved winner! Second place goes to Michel (again top3!) and third to Stefan (again top3!).
