This feels like how metas evolve around retail limited. Which in a cube then requires that people are invested in knowing the ins-outs of a list & know how to draft/read signals at a deeper level.

My group is pretty competitive so I’ve seen it happen a bit. Can make it harder on newcomers tho.

My Bodleian Cube update prior to @shoebox.gg

Bringing in some old favorites that are recontexualized by the changes since they left the cube. I can't wait to see many of you there and hear about your drafts of the cube.

Grambling Scores β€˜G’ Trademark as UGA, Packers Give Blessing The USPTO approves the "G" trademark for Grambling State after the school, Green Bay Packers and Georgia figured out a way each could use a similar G.

So many people in the sports industry are territorial. Turf battles and big egos often spawn costly litigation.

The Green Bay Packers, Grambling State and UGA take a different path with each using a "G" trademark: They smartly negotiated use agreements.

This is sick!! Also such a good use for more obscure arts that get less love to proxy power/duals/etc.

I’m conniving a plan to potentially make it to Boston Cube Party this summer

I wish the Great Lakes didnt make everything 10+ hours away from Michigan. I need a big cube event in Cleveland or Indy or something

Nate - Glory Tag Tournament XIV

This week, @natelikesfrogs.bsky.social and I discuss his Glory Tag Tournament XIV, a nostalgia #mtgcube. We had a great conversation about storytelling, community, frogs, and much more. Thanks, Nate!

Jason is a good friend of mine and a baller at magic. Dude constantly exposes what the best strats are in my cubes.

No shock that he’s on his way to the pro tour after t8ing the RC! Go Jay go!

One of the best moments of the day, the final game between the Bant players in draft 1:
- Josh steals Pieter’s Galepowder Mage with Sower. Passes.
- Pieter slams and activates Mindslaver
- Pieter takes control of Josh’s turn, attacking with his stolen Galepowder mage to flicker his Eternal Witness, getting back Mindslaver.
- Pieter has enough power to out race the Mage as he keeps attacking himself with it to blink the EWitt for the Mindslaver loop.

The Super Bowl needs to go w/ a full k-pop halftime show next year just for the outrage. It would be incredible. (It would also probably be awesome).
