Thoughts on this mana base for a desert cube?

I 3d-printed an air compressor adapter for a 4” pvc membrane flute experiment. Using a cheap craft foam sheet for the membrane. A lot louder in person, but you get the idea….right?

What cards go in a cube with these restrictions: - no tokens / counters - no shuffling / searching - desert (draft your lands) - no deck building (mainboard all cards you draft) - and…here’s the kicker…you can pick your starting hand from your pool. What cards are interesting here?

The best opening hand you can get in Stone Soup is the one with cards from everyone

A Borges story about a guy who gets AI to summarize all the world’s information for him, and then summarize the summary, until the AI has the whole world summarized into a single word. He sits alone at his desk, staring at the word, repeating it endlessly, certain he is experiencing everything

What if the goal of the maze of life was to collaborate and tilt the world to find each other? I’m emotional because I finally got the Cnc working again lol

Made a new variant of the Variable Creature Stat dice. Now I’ve got a version that goes 5/5 to 8/8 (and all combos thereof) and has a side with a little arrow and four letters, to denote a Treasure / Clue / Blood / or Food

Big catch and release today. A bigger jar would’ve made me feel better about the entire operation.

Low tide who dis?

I’m working on some looping stamp designs and methods. What are some good repeating patterns or stories that I could 3D print for the pattern?

If y’all have a chance to go to this. You should.

How old are these Smokey Quartz crystals? I unearthed them in the Idaho Sawtooth Mountains.

What vibes do y’all get from this Stone Soup list? In review … Stone Soup : a draft format where each participant brings 45 unique cards all sleeved the same. shuffle together with others and draft 3 packs of 15. Plays a lot like chaos draft but with WAY more personality.

5 Alive : you roto draft your opening hand. The rest becomes a shared library (and grave). If you pick first you play second. What’s your P1P1?

Roses in front yard are so on point right now

In honor of Pride Month let’s share the very first super gay feeling we had. Mine was in high school, stoned in a movie theatre, watching Brad Pit in Oceans 11 wearing all white and eating a hamburger. Still turns me on to this day.

Feels like the kind of Saturday night where one just rolls the dice on a random episode of DS9

Crazy cube idea : Twenty five sol rings / creatures and spells start at 4 mana

Here’s a quick overview of Cabbages & Kings. I’m experimenting with content creation, please be patient youtu.be/7BLACbSJFIo

. Learn about the cool ‘new’ format that has actually been around for a while, and which I did not invent, but which I love, and needed to make a lil one take video about, for posterity : **STONE SOUP** youtu.be/uG81ZijAgac

What does the perfect 40 card, singleton, stasis deck look like? Can stasis work in singleton? Enlightened Tutor feels mandatory. Thoughts?

Having a heated debate : Can Stasis be effective in an Agro deck?

I want to add Reins of Power to Cabbages & Kings. It’s on theme, and the cabbages would love it. (think sac outlet ceiling) But what do I cut? cubecobra.com/cube/list/ca...

One of the biggest reasons I wanted to move to rural Idaho from Boston was to give my kid this exact experience:

I am a terrible multi-tasker. In other words, if I work 40hrs a week at one job, the weekend job will be phoned in, whilst parenting and house chores. How do people do this?

The insanely talented @masonbenjamin.bsky.social colored in my @bostoncubeparty.com Top8 playmat and I cannot stop looking it over again and again. 😍

13 for cube Tues! 10 played the alt-wincon cube, and two Jacobs and I fired Nearby Planet, 1v1v1. Showing Nearby Planet to Jacob and Jacob for the first time was side-splitting laughs. Hadn’t played it in a while and forgot how insane it is. One of my favorite micros. cubecobra.com/cube/overvie...

@hopfka.bsky.social how would you make this Cube a smarter political critique? Looking for suggestions, opinions, and hot takes. cubecobra.com/cube/overvie...

A beautiful and simple idea :

Time is hard to understand, part 2.

Dunno what this is…but that quote is fire.

Time is hard to understand.

Find the cat, win a prize. (Spoiler: the prize is floofy emotions)

Does this do …. everything?

In a crowed exhibit hall, two white men subconsciously kneel and speak in hushed tones about money in front of a display only quantum computer.

I’m currently “borrowing” my wife’s event badge at APS conference (American Physic Society) in Anaheim. And wow, no one can agree on the value of H. The tension is real folks.

@hopfka.bsky.social a bunch of mtg Cube designers are reading ‘Playing Oppression’ for our book club. For @andy.luckypaper.co and @anthony.luckypaper.co podcast; ‘Lucky Paper Radio’. I would love to hear your hot takes about Magic the Gathering, and what kind of cube you would make.

When the sun hits this chair I am compelled by forces outside my control, to languish time like an ice sculpture at summer brunch.

What would you draft to win against a ‘whoops all oligarchs’ decks? cubecobra.com/cube/overvie...

We’re drafting my Cabbages & Kings this Tuesday. And personally, one way or another, I will be living the dream of eating the rich. cubecobra.com/cube/overvie...

Have you ever made something that, apparently, only you enjoy? How did that make you feel? And is/was it art? Please share.
