Would your audience care about cube? It can scratch the same itch sometimes.

WrathWrath - Dandan A Dandan deck created on Moxfield by Ratafia.

@magicstorytime.bsky.social I've been jamming a Thunderous Wrath list for years at this point and was wondering if you've ever come across it. I saw someone else discussing it on a discord and immediately put it together. What do you think?

We had some of the most beautiful snow I've ever seen this week. Not only were the flakes perfectly formed, they were large enough to sparkle on the ground, maybe 1/8" tall.

Watching what looked like glitter rain from the sky was wonderful.

Belated post but I got to chaos draft with my friends back home this weekend! In a 7-pod I ended up in Rakdos Sacrifice through a pair of first picks from MOM and EOE. Next up for us, a weekend of cardboard next time I'm home. (Name redacted to protect the innocent: me)

Apparently all the humor of β€œI’ll have what she’s having” is lost at the pharmacy. Smh.

We baked some pies for Thanksgiving:
A standard apple pie (my second ever!)
A chocolate crust pecan pie

Cannot wait to dig into these tomorrow

That's what I did the first time, and this time I just cut loose. I did end up drafting a lot of my cards but that's what I was hoping to play, oh well!

This time around I wanted to play with the no-cost suspend cards like Ancestral Vision or Restore Balance, and I drafted a lot of mine to create this UG ramp-cheat deck.

An absolute blast, and a great way to celebrate a friend's birthday!

If you've got a draft crew looking for a really fun afternoon, consider a fruitcake draft! (Also called stone soup elsewhere)

Everyone brings 45 cards and 5 of each land sleeved up in a unique color with whatever rules for the 45 you want, then it's shuffled up and drafted.

A few of the recent iterations have made midrange appear to an extent, but they're not premier archetypes. GB garbo used to be a winrate death knell, now it's an actual thing to draft.

I do agree the samey-ness of vintage cubes can be a drawback, especially when it comes to WX aggro.

A crowd of 400 cubers cubing.

A crowd of 400 cubers cubing.

Last week, we gathered, and together we created the largest Cube event of the year.

Why did we do that? (🧡) #mtgcube #CubeCon2025

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I've yet to flip my own Grist, still hunting the elusive Magma Opus -> Arcane Bombardment.

I got welded hard the last time I drafted Chicago too. It's the boogeyman for sure.

Was the rw deck a welder deck?

Nervous about creating your own cube? Then we're excited to share that Usman Jamil will be presenting "Cube Building for Dummies" followed by a Q&A.

Friday, Oct 17th at 6:30 PM at Muskellounge.

Then grab a ticket for Cube-E-Oke and go right into belting your favorite tunes.

This cube idea is a blast! We named ours after holiday fruitcake as we did our original draft during the December holidays and I was psyop'd into adding Sol Ring.
