Hello #mtgcube community I have an odd request. I want to acquire 8x of these reminder cards for my MH2+ cube. From what I understand they're on the back of tokens. If you happen to have MH2 tokens lying around and can help me figure out which ones they're on, that would be amazing.

A draft archetype card for MH2 booster draft. It has 10 archetypes with descriptions on a standard mtg sized card.

In case you missed it, I posted this cube review of Reality Fractured yesterday. Even if you have no intention of ever cubing Extrapolate the Impossible, the part on it is worth reading as an exercise in avoiding snap-decisions and mental shortcutting.

It is refreshing to see this; when I started and for a while, I knew people who were like "I'm not playing this card as a non-foil of it" and others who refused to proxy. I wouldn't have gotten into cube myself, as I wouldn't have been able to pay 2008 prices for ABU duals (let alone 2026.)

I concepted this cube in 2025 as a 15-year celebration of the first cube design article I wrote. I started my cube journey in 2008 and started writing about cube to create what I wanted to see in the world - there were so many articles about how cool cubes were, but nothing about *making* one.

Today's B&R reminds me of when I returned to MTG in 2005. The format was Tooth and Nail vs Affinity & we were told "It's fine! It's diverse, look at what won states!" They then banned the Affinity deck, like they should have done anyway github.com/maxmakesmagi... github.com/maxmakesmagi...

Compiled this weeks legacy stats before the BnR hits later today. Only 4x Tamiyo decks won challenges this week, no Car decks did. Looking at the data over the last six weeks, Tamiyo is more deserving of a ban than the Car. If they don't hit both, it would be a massive mistake IMO.

META SHARE TOP 8 SHARE EVENT WIN % WIN OVER REP OVER-REP
CAR DECKS 15.6% 18.6% 27.3% 1.8 1.19
TAMIYO DECKS 24.7% 32.0% 42.4% 1.7 1.30

You've seen how wild we can get, but the third cube at #STL^3 takes us back to a simpler time. One final vintage cube, but found in a time capsule from 2003. @rollerderbykaya.bsky.social's Reject Modernity is a beautiful love letter to an age gone by, full of plenty of love and old border foils.
