Pod of 5 this evening for Adventures in Space and Time. Still fiddling with the core balance of this cube, but it's taking shape thanks to 7 drafts of info. Green is meshing a bit better, but still concerned that it might be steering the cube towards being too much of an artifact cube. #MTGCube

1-1 in an Arena Cube with some rebalanced + alchemy cards at Silver Branch for the post Capitol #MTGCube Champs drafting. P1P1 Vivi and soaked up the blue cards.

Main event draft 2. 2-1 Legacy of Bloodwake Atoll. Leaned into white equipment early, but died to Ian going super wide with Vehicle value. cubecobra.com/cube/about/d... #MTGCube

Main event draft 1 on Capitol Cube Champs. #MTGCube 3-0 The Desert Bird. Pretty punishing draft with some rough manabases all around. My deck felt well equipped to punish stumbles and the three combat tricks just ended games. cubecobra.com/cube/about/a...

Friday pre-event draft was also the Penrose. Went 2-1 in that. #MTGCube

Died in top 4 of Capitol Cube Champs 2026. Had a reasonable deck in the Penrose Cube, but couldn't put it together in a game three. GGs cubecobra.com/cube/about/6... #MTGCube

Had a pod of 9 (!) this evening. Could have been the full 10 if someone didn't have to cancel. Drafted Adventures in Space and Time. I went WR hyper aggro and had some slick Weftstalker + Halo Hopper + Thopter Engineer sequences. cubecobra.com/cube/about/s... #MTGCube

#MTGCube Tuesday with the locals. Had 7 people with a new face, so that was sweet. Went 3-0 with GR Beats, deck was +1 Mountain I think.

Got a pod of 4 on Friday to draft Adventures in Space and Time. #MTGCube I went RB splashing some White and Blue. Haunt the Network might be a bit too much. Cast it for 8 and 7 this draft. Deck did some sweet stuff with Furnace Celebration though.

Akira on the local IMAX screen was great. Hadn't rewatched it in years. Ghost in the Shell is getting another run later this month for its 30th anniversary and I'll definitely be there for that too.

Post-CubeCon Tuesday #MTGCube with the locals. Had 5 for my space desert cube. I went 2-0 with WR, but should have lost to the Time Sieve deck - he missed that he had 24 damage off Time Sieve + Weapons Manufacturing over a three turn sequence involving Scour for Scrap and some Station-ing.

#MTGCube #CubeCon 2-1 Budget Vintage Cube. Swapped out one of the lands for an Island I think.. First picked an Eldrazi Mimic and wound up in a ramp shell using the spawns to power out some aggressive beaters or big threats. cubecobra.com/cube/about/d...

#MTGCube Sunday #CubeCon Drafted Omnipresent Imposters for a side event pod and went 1-2. Deck lacked a way to go over the top, but could tempo out some games here and there. cubecobra.com/cube/about/O...

Surprise, surprise. That might have been exacerbated by GW only having Conclave Tribunal as a reliable removal spell, but seemed to be a theme. The play/draw felt so brutal with all the fight/bite spells.

Snuck into top 128 after that, but went 1-2 with a decent BW pile in Good Clean Magic, which was as described. #MTGCube #CubeCon cubecobra.com/cube/overvie...

Followed that up with a 2-1 in Prismatic Wilds - with only forests in the basic box. Decks were doing cool stuff, but it kind of felt like all the supplementary product rares were absolute bombs. #MTGCube #CubeCon cubecobra.com/cube/overvie...

#MTGCube #CubeCon Saturday drafts started with an 0-1-2 in Like Tears in Rain, an environment with only odyssey sac lands in the basic box. My deck was quite slow, but felt powerful. cubecobra.com/cube/overvie...

Draft one of #MTGCube #CubeCon Friday. 1-1-1 in I Loot the Body. Glacially slow and I think I misjudged when to discard lands vs hold them at points. cubecobra.com/cube/about/I...

The drafted The Floor is Lava and got my head blown off by decks that made 15+ power on turn 2/3 and just hand checked whether I had a sweeper. #MTGCube cubecobra.com/cube/list/lava

Another #MTGCube Tuesday with Adventures in Space & Time. Made two dozen changes after last week to tune a few areas, and had a pod of 6 this week. I drafted 4c Kozilek's Unsealing. The pod was won by GW Counters. Metastatic is messed up and the deck _might_ be too easy to assemble.

Drafted a new desert #MTGCube project last night. Artifacts, Space, Dinosaurs, Eldrazi. There were a couple cards that stood out as probably too much for the cube (Arcbound Ravager), some effects that felt a bit too easy, etc. cubecobra.com/cube/about/s...

3-0 Hobbit Prerelease with 4c "splash bombs" and stall to find them pile. Maybe could have played the third Mirkwood Nurturer, but just wasn't sure I had enough to bounce.

haganbmj @griselbrand.com · 08/08/2026
Here's a few more from that same general era that would still be pretty playable. Splicer _might_ still see enough to disqualify it here.

Another Tuesday another #MTGCube draft. I've got to figure out how to stop drafting Blue/White. Would need people to stop giving me 9th pick Restoration Angel for that though - second Resto I've wheeled this week.

3-0 for the Sunday monthly Atlanta draft meetup with UW Emry/Flicker stuff, splashing Pizzasaur off some Chromatic Stars. #MTGCube Draft was 6 people for a fork of Spicy Ramen. cubecobra.com/cube/list/Cu...

Decks from Tuesday's #MTGCube outing. Just 3 this week, so we Houseman'd the Kuleshov and each wound up with a 1-1 record in the round robin.

Got 7 last night for a powered vintage cube. List was supposedly based off the mtgo one, but there were a few inclusions that I wasn't sure lined up with that. I was supposed to wheel a Thopter Foundry in pack 3, but it didn't come back :( #MTGCube

Got to get in two #MTGCube drafts this afternoon. I think it was a copy of cubecobra.com/c/LSVRetro ? 2-1 UB - Inkwell/Blightsteel flipped based on the matchup. 3-0 UBw - Swapped Lumbering Falls for an Island to bump the fetchable count. - Dack over Leovold against a WRB deck with Retrofitter.

3-0 in a fork of Spicy Ramen. Pteramander and Essence Scatter both came in for some matches. Draft was with a new group across town, hope to make it back over there again. #MTGCube cubecobra.com/cube/about/C...

I think there's an alternate build of that UB deck too that performs better? It needed a few more things that interacted rather than tunnel visioning on the leaves yard stuff.

Just 4 for #MTGCube this evening. We drafted the Kuleshov Cube, which will be appearing at CubeCon this year thanks to a Spotlight pick by @domrikade.bsky.social of the Recross the Paths podcast. I drafted GW and went 2-0-1 due to an early stop time. cubecobra.com/cube/about/0...

Got a full pod of 8 last night for my Peasant #MTGCube. I drafted RWb Tokens and went 3-0 despite somehow being seated in the middle of 4 drafters all wanting similar red pieces.

Added a new #MTGCube feature on cube.griselbrand.com to allow "Check"-ing a set of conditions against all loaded cubes. This site originally started as a way to help me determine what I wanted to draft at CubeCon 2025 and it'll be fulfilling that role again this year.

More #MTGCube decks from my peasant cube. We had 6 last night. I started out UB, but got a 10th pick Everything Pizza and couldn't resist. Went 3-0, even getting to Pizza twice in a game thanks to Eternal Witness. Talrand's into Victor Timely is a helluva curve too.
