White elephant stone soup draft today with the
@cubeforacause.upkeepnewyork.com
crew! This is my 45. Stone soup rules are: everyone brings a color balanced pool of 45 cards, and then we shuffle them up and draft. This week, we did it a little different because we drafted for keeps!

I donβt have words to express how cool it is to be shouted out by prof and the team at TCC for being part of the proliferation of sick grass roots events.

In parallel with the announcement earlier today, the Cube Format Panel (it me!) is excited to announce the 2025 Beta for the Cube Bracket system! We've rigorously updated and refined our language to describe cube experiences, creating an unquestionably comprehensive tool for all designers.

Made the mistake of being interested in a secret lair for the first time in a while. Got there early, joined the queue, and everything I wanted sold out in 45 minutes while I still had another hour left in the queue. Really cool, guys.

What are some cards similar to Strategic Betrayal / Go Blank that have graveyard hate stapled onto a slightly below-rate effect? Looking for effects across colors, ideally less powerful than Lion Sash and more maindeckable than Soul-Guide Lantern.

3-0 in last week's cube night - the inaugural draft of a 4-color artifact cube! I ended up drafting mostly a historic/legends deck with a lot of creatures that were able to dodge artifact removal by being non-artifacts. Exorcise is also crazy in a cube with artifact lands.

Final round of PTQ, opp convinced me to ID at 5-2 but I don't really understand the math here. Top 32 play day 2 and top 128 get a pricey promo. Can anyone weigh in on whether I had a shot at top 32 if I won? Chances I would fall out of top 128 if I lost? My breakers were exactly average.

A little more digression on this cube. I've actually always kinda loved the mtgfinance side of the hobby, and I'm absolutely thrilled with how cheap so many good and/or powerful magic cards have become through reprint strategies like commander decks, the list, etc.

my favorite part of spoiler season is the heated reddit discussions where one person is says "this card sucks in modern" and the other says "this card is busted in commander" but instead of naming a format they say "too expensive" or "opponents" and this just completely goes over the other's head

The dream? Take X combat steps in a row, where X is the amount of green mana you can produce. Did I live it? Unfortunately not. Maybe next draft.

Curio Cube! I love this cube, it's a pretty high power level but has some pretty unusual archetypes. I ended up in 4 color mono green with enchantress and modified subthemes.
