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

The main series is kind of a neat time capsule of Urza's Block era prereleases and GPs if you haven't given it a read.

I think I had to pass it when I saw it. The second photo I posted is my pick order (top left, down) and I think I was pretty far off having blue sources by the time it came around.

I certainly defaulted to cards I recognize - old border tends to have a fairly large dropoff in power after a point. Finals in my pod was myself vs UBwr Psychatog that was just splashing every removal spell they could find.

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 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...

Green is moving in the right direction, but I still think the signals of what it wants to do and how to get into it during a draft might not be obvious enough. It plays second fiddle to a lot of other color pairs and might just be lacking a core identity for itself. Need to keep poking at that.

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

Unfortunately for the designers of Future Sight, Tarmogoyf sticks out like a sore thumb in 2026. They somehow forgot to add a second paragraph of rules text dedicated to holding the player's hand by incrementally milling themself

#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.

This is only paper draft #5 of this cube in the <1 month it's been together, so it's still in a state of flux. Green still isn't quite doing anything interesting, but I think there's a bit more of a path shaping up for that now.

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.

Card pool from the Build-Our-Own draft that happened at CubeCon 2026. Five contributors each contributed 45 peer-reviewed designs, stone soup style, with a smattering of cards from others to round out an even pod of 6. haganbmj.github.io/ccboo/2026/ cc: @ollie.bostoncubeparty.com #MTGCube

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.

cubecobra.com/cube/about/s... Might need a rename though since I've cut the adventures and will be trimming on the "time".

Cube Cobra: Adventures in Space and Time
A draft format 65 million years in the making. Drafted using 3 packs of 18 cards each. This is a Desert Cube, meaning you must draft all of your lands. Any effects that would produce or reference an 0...

That means overhauling Green and Red almost entirely and is so far looking like ~40 changes. Couple other unfun or underperforming cards to swap as well.

haganbmj @griselbrand.com · 02/09/2026
Wasn't expecting to draft this last night, otherwise I would have tried to proxy out some more changes I wanted to make. Cutting dramatically on dinosaurs. Pretty much anything that is typal-dinosaur can go, they're just too restrictive and ask too much during a draft.

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...

D2 - Kuleshov Cube by @griselbrand.com (no-red synergy cube) 3-0🏆 with Orzhov Enchs+Lifegain. Thought my deck was kind of medium but it again had good card quality+mana, and powerful outs to win games. Flying is great. Whip was def wrong, boarded it out every game.

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...
