Sylvia! @sortorder.bsky.social · 22/05/2026Oh Rosemary's awesome! I used to watch her all the time 010
Sylvia! @sortorder.bsky.social · 19/05/2026i've always said: "magic the gathering is the greatest game of all time." some time ago i switched to: "magic the gathering is the greatest game of all time, unfortunately." 010
Sylvia! @sortorder.bsky.social · 09/05/2026its got a full turn-based mode and an rts mode, the latter is what is played "competitively" 000
Sylvia! @sortorder.bsky.social · 05/05/2026Do I know anyone in Detroit whomst would like to jam Premodern this week 010
Sylvia! @sortorder.bsky.social · 30/04/2026have we established that? i'm never sure ppl think abt it. (/gen) 110
Sylvia! @sortorder.bsky.social · 22/04/2026When do you think was the turning point where value per card became 'too high'? 100
Sylvia! @sortorder.bsky.social · 21/04/2026I spent 5 seconds thinking "Hey I know some stuff about cube, commentating sounds cool" before I remembered I exclusively refer to cards in slang terms & don't know the government names of almost any of em 😂 120
Sylvia! @sortorder.bsky.social · 19/04/2026All in all this was an awesome event, thank you @triske.chicagostylecu.be and the Chicago team for putting it on, see y'all at the next one 🤙 030
Sylvia! @sortorder.bsky.social · 19/04/2026TA response to all that difficulty? Immaculate. Judges & Staff rolled w/ the punches, made solutions on the fly, filled in draft seats, and generally were just awesome. Though I'm sure they were stressed beyond belief, they STILL all had smiles on at the end of the day. That's love for cube, baby. 230
Sylvia! @sortorder.bsky.social · 19/04/2026Last thing - a HUGE huge shout out to the event coordinators @thechicagocube.bsky.social as well as the judge staff. This event was freaking fantastic. It was a first-time event, and on the tech side tons went wrong. We couldn't get draft seats, couldn't get pairings, decklists, pretty much anything 120
Sylvia! @sortorder.bsky.social · 19/04/2026And a tale I've told a few times now: "Then Nicole kicked me out of the top8". This time she had to wait til the finals to do it! Congrats and well played to @nicoledubin.bsky.social who really ranched me. Cube rocks because sometimes you get to jam v players way better than you and learn from them 110
Sylvia! @sortorder.bsky.social · 19/04/2026Best/funniest moment was Semis vs Fritz. Op cast Armix & I had to ask what it did - I asked "it has to attack, right?" (meaning for the trigger) Fritz, apparently having played bad cards all day, responded "No" (meaning 'it's not forced to attack each turn') 😂 (we figured it out a moment later) 100
Sylvia! @sortorder.bsky.social · 19/04/2026Oh, I didn't play that Stoke the Flames by the way. I don't recall what I played over it. Priest of the Forgotten gods did so much work this draft - it chewed through a lingering souls, through a Baleful Strix with Sevinne's Recursion, on and on. Every time I draft the card it gets better & better 100
Sylvia! @sortorder.bsky.social · 19/04/2026On to the top8 playing @thechicagocube.bsky.social. This one I've drafted b4. Sadly don't have picks in order (we were rushing for time against the venue). P1p1 was Voice of Victory, then Marsh Flats, Shadowy Backstreet, Priest of Forgotten Gods. Picked a Torrential Gearhulk next but U wasn't open 110
Sylvia! @sortorder.bsky.social · 19/04/2026This was my 3-0, carried by busted rares. Hardest pick was P2P5 when presented with Tinker v Opportunity. Thran Dynamo and Key were gone from p1, and I had just shipped a Phyrexian Colossus. Still, Tinker for Masticore seemed too good if I could get there (which I didn't). Good enough though! 110
Sylvia! @sortorder.bsky.social · 19/04/2026Draft 2 was Urza Block Cube (I don't know if the creator is on Bsky?) Opened Masticore which was great. Hilariously, all of pack 1 was so weak that I was assuming this was a "lower power" rendition of Urza Block with some power outliers. Then I found a Morphling, Treachery, and Tinker in pack 2 😄 120
Sylvia! @sortorder.bsky.social · 19/04/2026(For what it's worth, I was surely going to lose the match that ended in a draw) 100
Sylvia! @sortorder.bsky.social · 19/04/2026Ended up passing Gates Ablaze because we were a pod of 6 and I was concerned about the number of payoffs, figuring if I didn't draw the Gates Ablaze I could just crumble. Ended up going 1-1-1 with an Arisocrats pile - deck was very strong when it drew Hidden Stockpile and less strong when it didnt 110
Sylvia! @sortorder.bsky.social · 19/04/2026(Picks are in pick order, start in top left and read down) First up was Millenium Spellslinger by @triske.chicagostylecu.be! P1p1 Morgue Toad out of a weak pack, other considerations were a 2W pacifism or a 4B exile kill spell. P1p2 was much harder when presented with a Gates Ablaze. 120

Sylvia! @sortorder.bsky.social · 18/04/2026thankfully they banned some other sylvia without an exclamation point. i'll see you next year, evil swamp >:) 150
