Thatβs dope, so hyped for you!
Grid of 9 magic cards on a wood table. 1. Masterpiece Torrential Gearhulk (From Izzet Enigma Drake) 2. Prerelease Promo Immolation Shaman (Prerelease date with wife) 3. Pir & Toothy from Battlebond (My 1 commander deck I built with friends) 4. Showcase Adeline, Resplendent Cathar (Mono-W Humans Pioneer) 5. Store Champiionship Dark Confidant (My first store championship win, loosely where things clicked competitively for me) 6. Showcase Lutri, the Spellchaser (My pet Pioneer & Modern Deck) 7. Signed Mosswood Dreadknight (From my main event MC Vegas 2023! Deck! I got it signed right after I 2-2 dropped) 8. Skrelv, Defector Mite (My first RCQ win and ended up registering in 2 RCs afterwards) 9. Borderless Kaito, Bane of Nightmares (My favorite card right now, played in standard for a year+ and registered the card basically weekly since).
Thought long and hard about My 9 Cards and this is what I settled on! First format decks, RCQ wins, memorable tournament registered cards, and a prerelease promo from a 2HG first date with my now wife! Most of these live in #MTGCube now too :-)

Of course! Any cube I can rip an Embercleave I am a happy camper. My matches were close and went to G3 in my losses. The cube matches the power level / card pool I'm most comfortable with as well!
I hope to draft it in paper some day :-)

Opponent casting a miscalculation when active player is at 2 life, active player only has 2 canopy lands avaliable.
Drafted this SICK Boros deck in @deinonychus9.bsky.social's Bodleian Cube in the @cubecon.org sever tonight. This is my favorite deck so far this year, and this cube just rips. Each drafters starts with a Cogwork! Lost R3 to the most calculated Miscalculation of all time.

Queen's Commission {2}{W} Sorcery Create two 1/1 white Vampire creature tokens with lifelink.
I imagine it is especially good when you have some lifelinking vampires from the Queen's Commission ;-)
Great playing with ya!

Howdy, gamers. π
Emma here, and I'm here to bring you some exciting news about CubeCon 2026! There's a lot to go through today, so let's dive in! π
#CubeCon2026 #MTGCube
Iron-Shield Elf {1}{B} Creature β Elf Warrior Discard a card: This creature gains indestructible until end of turn. Tap it. (Damage and effects that say "destroy" don't destroy it. If its toughness is 0 or less, it still dies.) 3/1
Formidable Speaker {2}{G} Creature β Elf Druid When this creature enters, you may discard a card. If you do, search your library for a creature card, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle. {1}, {T}: Untap another target permanent. 2/4
Greasefang, Okiba Boss {1}{W}{B} Legendary Creature β Rat Pilot At the beginning of combat on your turn, return target Vehicle card from your graveyard to the battlefield. It gains haste. Return it to its owner's hand at the beginning of your next end step. 4/3
All the recent Pioneer-specific support is pushing me to give Greasefang a chance in cube, so many flexible cards have come out recently!

Cube list here! Def a cool experience and a unique take on the build around style cubes :-)
RW Boros Tokens Deck
We drafted Glue-???-Profit tonight in the @cubecon.org discord tonight! 2 packs of glue lower power-level,
1 pack of payoffs. I drafted a middle of the road RW deck, I definitely could have benefitted from reviewing the payoffs prior, but fun to see players synergize and 'do the thing'.
#MTGCube
I did, AND an evoked Fury. It was sweet.
Mono-White+ deck for the Arena Power Cube
Ripped a sweet 7-0 π on Arena Power Cube with Mostly Mono-White! Arena drafters blessed me with a P2P2 Mox Ruby then a P3P3 Mox Jet, lol.
This cube will be at @connecticube.bsky.social in a week and a half! :-)

Drafted this Azorius Deck in a 6-player pod of Modern Antiquities tonight in the @cubecon.org server! Had the tough choice between Embercleave or Retrofitter Foundry for P1P1. Wish I cleaved, but Foundry felt right! Highlight was getting 3 Nexus' of Becoming with Season of Weaving π

I swear to god, Wizards can't get out of their own god damned way sometimes.
They are making Magic Online change what decklists get published. Only the Top 8 decklists will get posted for challenges under 64 players.

Ilia Malinin is just insane.

Magic the Gathering Card Omni-Changeling Omni-Changeling {3}{U}{U} Creature β Shapeshifter Changeling (This card is every creature type.) Convoke (Your creatures can help cast this spell. Each creature you tap while casting this spell pays for {1} or one mana of that creature's color.) You may have this creature enter as a copy of any creature on the battlefield, except it has changeling. 0/0
Got the SWEET 3-0 (6-0) on @magiconline.bsky.social in a #MTGLorwyn draft! Omni-Changeling is the coolest little freak in this format. It has to be my favorite card this set.
I personally didn't experience anything terribly egregious where I think it would need to be adjusted, I cooked myself with my manabase choices (oopsies)!
Tagging drafters @andantethebard.bsky.social @goblingathering.bsky.social @joe-cube-anderson.bsky.social @mattbelcher.bsky.social for feedback!
Of course! Love supporting the homies πππΌππΌ

Boros Tokens Deck from The Upkeep New York Cube
Had a blast drafting this Boros Tokens deck in The Upkeep New York Cube that will be featured at @cubeforacause.upkeepnewyork.com in just a few months! Co-designed by 10 different players with 10 different shard / wedge responsibilities.
Lots of neat synergies & sweet decks throughout!

A nice 3-0 π with Izzet Daydreamer and a 2-1 with one of the best Kithkin decks I've drafted. Really been enjoying #MTGLorwyn πππ
I honestly expected the izzet deck to be an 0-2 drop, but was pleasantly surprised!

R3id with bands of prizing
Hosted (and crushed) a 20-player modern tournament today. RCQs are dead, long live modern.
My finals oppo offered me all the prizing if I conceded so he could have bragging rights... EZ agree!
@fireshoes.bsky.social
General consensus was that it was neat to try, but didn't play out the best. A few drafters said they didn't see a good chunk of cards at all! Maybe too much variance in games / seeing cards here.
We talked about your World Championship cube having a stronger singleton break for the 4x20.

The 2-1s were pretty solid as well π. I much prefer MTGO traditional draft to Arena BO1 drafts.
