bring back the BATMAN tv show and keep up the stunt casting. I want to see Werner Herzog's Mister Freeze

Big news, Cube fam.

Made a no-supplemental-product Vintage Cube on a lark last night, and idk, looks kinda sick. cubecobra.com/cube/list/Wh...

The GOAT Mid

As we prepare to have two concurrent vintage cubes on MTGO, I have to ask: did cube ruin magic?

Rush is reuniting with a woman as the drummer and I think it's very sweet that Rush fans will get to see a woman once before they die

I’ve come up with a new format that I’m naming after one of my heroes, John Cage. This is kind of a joke but also serious. Here’s how it works: find the cards you’ve intentionally drafted over the years or buy cards that you think would be good draft picks. Shuffle them together and draft.

Magic spent 30 years building karma then sold its account.

I got the bug to update my vintage cube at the end of last week (and add power back to it for that matter) and reached what I feel is close to a resting point.

More Boros Storm

Played some Spiderpaths drafts. Turns out when you start off with a product not designed to be played it remains unplayable.

Redford by the great Phil Noto. Sad day 🖤

My favorite part about MTGO Vintage Cube discourse is when people point out new cards that provide novel and fun gameplay patterns but then just say “yeah but it won’t be good enough compared to all these boring cards we’re required to play with.”

“Move to combat?” Bear swings into my spider Well, do they have it?

Sometimes I feel bad about spending $30 in a week on comics, but then I remember I used to buy Magic cards.

It’s pretty cool that in a time of mounting economic uncertainty and increasing wealth disparity, the response from WotC to the outcry that they’re undermining the nature of the game that provides meaning and community to so many is, “but we’re making so much money.”

Magic players love the game in the same way investors love NVIDIA.

A mostly updated version of my cube A Study in Harmony was run by its new owner and his Denver-based crew. Here’s the decks from draft.

Still this. Absolute scar on the body of Magic.

Actual military occupation of the opposing side.

Given that the political divide in the US is so Urban v Rural in nature, it feels like deploying the National Guard in cities like Chicago would be an act of war.

Magic culture is like the artist statement at a middling show in that it seeks to explain to you what the art failed to deliver.

The worst set of all time is Modern Horizons 3 and it’s not even close.

I don’t let my neighbors tell me what to draft.

Vivi Shoal Gaming.

I finally got the chance to draft this (regular team draft, not roto) and my takeaway was that there were too many basics.

If you break it down in basic resource terms, Vivi essentially generates ~2.5 mana every time you cast a noncreature spell. That goes a long way to show how insanely broken the card is.

One of the most logical answers to over a year of completely bunk constructed formats and an expressed unwillingness to fix the problem is that WotC doesn’t actually want you to play Magic, and in fact to them, playing Magic is a distraction from the desired activity of purchasing Magic.

How many times does this have to happen for people to realize that the quality of the gameplay is not a primary concern for Wizards?

With EOE coming out (and looking pretty cool), I spent some time tidying up A Study in Harmony. The changelist here is massive, but I think the whole project stays true to its concept.

My favorite part of contemporary Magic design is that they created the templating of “once per turn” and “one or more” then just made rares that completely disregard this innovation.

I'm so tired of 2 mana 5/5s

If you want a picture of the future of Vintage Cube, imagine a horseshoe trampling over a planeswalker’s face–forever.

MTGO Vintage Cube gameplay has been reduced to casting three spells per game. Do with that what you will.

I've mucked around with A Study in Harmony a lot over the last week and ended up here. It's pretty much the same in spirit, just a little more open. I'll try to set up to run some drafts on MTGO as it's not particularly expensive. cubecobra.com/cube/overvie...

To a degree, my cube-building process is simply messing with the list until a sample pack gives me a headache.

Two of my cubes are up for vote for this year’s CubeCon. If you want a taste of my madness, you should vote for them!

I still mess with my cubes from time to time, and while I do think it's cool that a lot of these lanes of gameplay have been fleshed out in the last year, these decks would also vaporize most opponents. Everything has become so cheap.
