Wishing all who attend a fabulous @capitolcube.org ! Can't wait for absurd stories from Danger Zone. What would you take from this pack? cubecobra.com/cube/p1p1/3a...

On June 7, 2024 the Junkies Air Force established a cube for the bottom one percent of its drafters. Its purpose was to troll the absolute idea of Magic and to ensure that the handful of players who 3-0'd were the sickest fools in the world.

They succeeded.

Today, the Junkies call it Nonsense Camp.

The flyers call it:

DANGER ZONE

Emblem
Creatures with Flying can attack creatures opponents control as if they were a player or planeswalker.

One of my friends decked themselves copying Aminatou’s Augury. Another managed to shuffle in two copies of the power nine. I set up the third trigger of Champions from Beyond via God-Eternal Oketra and some free creatures. “That was one of my favorite games of Magic ever.” “This cube confirmed fun.”

Champions from Beyond
{X}{W}{W}
Enchantment
When this enchantment enters, create X 1/1 colorless Hero creature tokens.
Light Party — Whenever you attack with four or more creatures, scry 2, then draw a card.
Full Party — Whenever you attack with eight or more creatures, those creatures get +4/+4 until end of turn.

Now I have a little golden model in my “ready room”.

The strategic milkweed reserve has been tapped. I hope a bunch of these are about ready to start the next phase or we are going to need more.

At least 26 monarch caterpillars of varying and increasingly large size performing their adorkable routine of voracious consumption.

We’ve got a good crop going this year.

I commend and agree with this stance. I want cool and novel stuff to happen, and for the game to be contended. Ideally every time. I must confess, though, that when this happened I was delighted.

Magic: The Gathering: Arena screenshot. We are playing Brawl, and our commander is Hearthhull, the Worldseed. The game is over. We are currently controlling zero lands, a fully stationed Hearthhull, some excellent utility creatures including landfall Nissa and Aftermath analyst, and a 39/39 famished worldsire. On the stack are two superfluous Hearthhull triggers and worldsire's ETB to get us even more lands. OP was a saint to let it all play out.

How many proxy copies of the power nine do you need for Oracle of the Alpha to get sufficiently silly in paper? We are starting with six. cubecobra.com/cube/list/je...

In place of a dark lord you will have all queens! This Galadriel was perfect for the “clones, but not legendary” deck I had wanted to make since Spark Double was spoiled, and it is a wild machine. I had to get counters to keep track of which triggers had been used on each copy.

Galadriel Light of Valinor Magic card from LTC

2GWU, 3/3

Whenever another creature you control enters, choose one that hasn’t been chosen this turn —
• Add {G}{G}{G}.
• Put a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control.
• Scry 2, then draw a card.

Having been goaded into further cementing my “three-color cubes” identity at @capitolcube.org, I am excited to share this. A Jes Kinda Cube is about playing cards from not-your-hand and claiming your destiny. What calls to you from this pack? cubecobra.com/cube/p1p1/4d...

The basics for this cube came up in another context, and I snapped this of a sampling of the Plains. Thought this thread might enjoy:

54 of the mismatched Plains in the basics box for Melded Mardu Monarchy. Curated by a true monster, we run the gamut from Chippy’s Esper plains to the MSCHF secret lair plains that is a sticker on top of a battlefield forge.

Dawnsire is also a fun and evil brawl commander, it turns out.

Magic: The Gathering: Arena screenshot. Brawl game that is over. Our commander is Dawnsire, which has been stationed to creature status in part thanks to forsaken monument making our eldrazi from 0/1s into 2/3s. Dawnsire has attacked this turn while equipped with shadowspear. Opponent’s life total is -6. Our life total is 140.

Thanks to @tpug.bsky.social, I had an unreal lunch at Your Only Friend DC including a Chicky Pep #2, Cacio e Pepe fries, and a Rugbrød old fashioned. Don’t miss this food if you are out here.

Incredible sandwich with chicken, hot peppers, and cheese.

Dried coated with cheese and pepper dust. Tastes like Firenze.

Finally able to corroborate this for myself and it is indeed incredible. Also notable: Cacio e Pepe fries.

Fresh french fries coated with cheese and pepper, delivering an incredible Cacio e Pepe experience.

To close out this event, I cringe-drafted my own Tresserhorn Gardens and had a terrific Time Sieve deck with Master of the Bridge. I never got to go to infinite turns, but had all the pieces. Both Tezzerets were sweet. I got the trophy and took home a pin and apologize for nothing.

Tezzeret, Master of The Bridge has made Ugin, Scion of Storms a free spell. This opponent did not prevail.

Warren Fish @xoanon.net · 24/09/2025

For casual day 2, my first draft was of @thecubemiser.bsky.social ‘s synergy cube and I had what seemed like a fairly solid GBw enchantment deck for this format. I went 1-2 against Hogaak in some intensely close and intricate games and then won the next round before we broke to draft again.

Mostly golgari enchantress deck. Eidolon of Blossoms and Doomwake Giant made it good.

Warren Fish @xoanon.net · 24/09/2025

My final draft of the event itself was The Depleted Lands cubecobra.com/cube/overvie... which I was only sort-of equipped to do after two other drafts but I got a pestilence deck and a pretty good land base for this kind of desert cube. I won round one decisively and then lost two close ones.

Draft deck from The Depleted Lands. We had a big sand worm and a nasty bug as well as land recursion and crypt rats on top of pestilence.

Next was The Hall of Legends where I went for as many single-pip legends as I could get plus a few busted cards. I got to hard-cast seven-mana Atraxa and then clone her twice. cubecobra.com/cube/overvie...

My deck from this cube. Jodah was threatening but never did anything before dying.

First up was The Oldest School by @phantooom.bsky.social and I took myself back to 1995 with this silliness. It ended up 1-2 but I had some gross plays like the juggernaut I posted on Saturday. cubecobra.com/cube/overvie...

Draft pool from The Oldest School. Highlights include drop of honey and mahamoto djinn.

Warren Fish @xoanon.net · 20/09/2025

Draft 2 of @capitolcube.org These two cards are pretty great together when you get to start with a plaza of heroes in play. This is The Hall of Legends.

Magic: The gathering board. We have Kellan Joins Up and The Prismatic Bridge, the second of which we got to cast for free on turn 3. We won this game.

Warren Fish @xoanon.net · 20/09/2025

East Bay Cubing Sunday at Sante Adairius. Last big draft of Tresserhorn Gardens before it’s featured at @capitolcube.org and @joe-cube-anderson.bsky.social’s California Cube Championship. I came close to overcoming generous plunderer, but it was not to be. I did get to go off with Tezzerets.

Draft pool from my Tresserhorn Gardens Grixis cube. We are on artifact synergies with two Tezzerets and the 7-mana Ugin that exiles hope. Also The One Ring is in here. It was fun.

TRUTH. I clinched mine in the most WarrenFish way possible.

Magic the Gathering: Arena screenshot. We have earned the incredibly tilting “death by vanilla” achievement in a brawl deck with Yargle and Multani as the commander. This deck was awful and could only have creatures with no game text. We had to cast at least five creatures over the course of the game *and win* when none of those creatures had game text. I earned this yesterday, but the achievement was bugged. Anyway, to win the game through a burgeoning army of scute swarms with an 18/6 vanilla creature after casting a few other bonehead creatures who died, we have Akroma’s Memorial on the stack. Opposing player conceded seconds after this screenshot was taken.

I’m cackling with rueful glee at the chance to welcome fresh subjects to Tresserhorn Gardens. What would you take from this pack?

A pack of 15 cards from Tresserhorn Gardens, an evil- and anti-safety-focused cube of Magic: The Gathering cards. In this pack we have Whip of Erebos, Accursed Marauder, Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar, Cut Down, Curiosity, Ethereal Forager, Spitting Dilopnosaurus, Rakdos Charm, Forensic Gadgeteer, Bloodsoaked Insight, Bolas’s Citadel, Talisman of Dominance, Field of the Dead, Mishra’s Research Desk, and Silverbluff Bridge.

Have you been in search of a way to increase the cruelty and evil in your brawl diet? Hearthhull may be the answer!

Magic: the gathering Arena game of the brawl format. Hearthhull is our commander, but we have Icetill Explorer and Strip Mine so none of that matters. Our opponent has conceded, recognizing that they will not have any more lands this game.

Another Arena Brawl scene shot. This time, we have fully stationed Hearthhull and then sacrificed all of our lands to God-Eternal Bontu to put lethal life loss on the stack for our opponent.

Warren Fish @xoanon.net · 21/07/2025

Huzzah! I’m glad I stayed to the end of the video! It took me numerous attempts to go infinite with Terra, and I was clicking furiously to get as many copies and triggers as I could into this screenshot before my opponent left. Worth it!

Screenshot from Magic the gathering: arena. We are playing the Brawl format, and our commander is Terra, Magical Adept. In this game, she has transformed to Esper Terra and The Apprentice’s Folly has made us a convenient non-legendary copy of said Esper Terra which in turn allows us to make an arbitrary additional number of copies and attack for lethal. We also have a crucial additional enchantment to break the loop. Opponent has been a saint to allow us to play out the combo for screenshot purposes before conceding.

A true victory is to make your enemy see they were wrong to oppose you in the first place; to force them to acknowledge your greatness.

Magic the Gathering Arena screenshot. We are playing Brawl and my commander is world’s finest unicorn Emiel the blessed. Via Blessed Sanctuary, Rishkar Peema Renegade, and Angel of Grace, Emiel has brought us to a board state where my mono-green opponent cannot reduce my life total below 1. With llanowar emissary, I can also draw a bunch of cards every turn at an increasing rate because each new 4/4 unicorn token created when I flicker the angel or the emissary can tap for mana. My opponent has a horde of enormous ooze creatures, but has just reached the point of no return on their will to continue playing. Gul Dukat would approve.
