Gisela (Car) needs 8 new fuel injectors. Woof.

It's time to cube. See you there.

2026 @cubeforacause.upkeepnewyork.com early coverage distilled: @parker.luckypaper.co diligently playing the role of the play-by-play commentator while dealing with the three free range color commentators attempting to stir up the audience. Loving all of it. Parker has the patience of a saint.

Went 3-0 in last night's Ornithopter Cube draft. Deck was pretty sweet. Paradoxical Outcome and Tempest Technique are pretty sweet together. Gaea's Cradle ain't bad either...

Yarn.io had ruined the ability to quickly find good gifs on chrome mobile. Is there a way to permanently remove a website from your Google search results? There is a special place in internet hell for this... And that's a statement. How dare you slightly inconvenience me!

Weekend pass for @shoebox.gg acquired. Looking forward to drafting some cubes!!

I have been so thoroughly trained by my dog that when I have string cheese at work I feel guilty about eating the last half inch of it....

First Arena Powered Cube Run: Tolarian Academy + Candelabra. Time to cast some big stuff!

Big game tonight. A house divided. My wife is from Milwaukee and a Brewers fan. I grew up in Illinois and am a Cubs fan. We live in the Twin Cities and don't want our 4 month old daughter to be a twins fan. I bought the dog's loyalty for the night with ribeye scraps. Let's hoist the W! #Cubs

The Cubbies clinched a wild card slot today! We are playoff bound. I'm looking forward to my future disappointment.

I don't understand the appeal of attempting to frantically spit poor sports analysis into a microphone in front of a screaming crowd. Can we stop with this?

Is it hash to wish a "Bears" game upon the Packers tonight? Aka, three good quarters of football immediately followed by a quarter that shatters the hopes and dreams of their fans. Asking for a friend. #ChicagoBears #GreenBayPackers

Don't do this. Don't give me hope. #ChicagoBears

@domrikade.bsky.social @goblingathering.bsky.social Thanks for the episode on the sticker cube. I took the concept and ran. First draft with the local group tonight. They loved it!

The little gremlin was sleeping well. Managed to squeak in a trophy with this green black deck. I managed to pull off the Broodtender Gravship loop in multiple games.

The first EOE Emperor Night is in the books. Good set for this. Lots of interaction. Everything was tied up going into the Emperor Game.

Just getting to posting this now. 1-2 at the EOE prerelease. Poor record, but it was a lot of fun. Built Blue/Black control. Multiple Warp synergies made the deck a fun puzzle to play out.

If the Cubs lose to the White Sox again today, it's going to be a rough one.

I forgot my wireless mouse at home and the Brewers are ahead of the Cubs in the NLC standings. I'm going to be unreasonably agitated today.

Whatever could I be building?

Profile update... Expecting Girl Dad to Girl Dad. Tessa. 9 lbs 4 oz. My wife is an absolute rock star and cannot be stopped. She continues to amaze me after all these years.

Saturday morning walks with the dog and the backlog of @andy.luckypaper.co These cast intros slap! So good.

Are EDH games gremlins? Don't feed (start) them after midnight? Don't get them wet (drunk)? Two out of the three rules apply ...

American Pope, cool. From Chicago, cooler! Is a White Sox fan. Dammit... So close.

First outdoor hosing of the season. Pure bliss.

Accidentally clicked an Alchemy draft. Again.

I'm uncomfortable. I'm rooting for the Brewers right now.

Another Tarkir Dragon Emperor Night last night. A little rough on the good guys. Yep, a blowout. Didn't even make it to the EMP game. One of my teammates didn't even make it out of round 1! The couch ate him!

Pregger Kegger at Third Space Brewing today was fantastic. (They aren't on this platform.) Pic of the calm before the storm. Would recommend the Upward Spiral IPA and the Red Rover Red IPA. The wife's family upset the balance tonight. Way too much brewer baby gear... I'll have to fix that.

@cardkingdom.com, hey, you gonna do them there battle decks for the last few sets?

In Milwaukee for a Pregger Kegger. Sitting in the inlaws living room watching the Brewers game. I am in the den of the enemy. Cubbies play the Dodgers in 5 minutes. Think they will let me watch? Go Cubbies!

After the Prerelease we came back for a draft and Emperor night. I think this limited format will be deep and people will engage with for a long time. The good guys took the event down. Our team was 1 win away from negating the need for the Emperor game. Aka, the Blowout Scenario.

Prerelease Recap. Great event at Lodestone in the Twin Cities. Kits were assigned randomly, you could trade after. Was handed Jeskai and kept it. Had a larger number of off color rares than I would have liked. I did live the Jeskai dream of doubling Molten Exhale 3 times.

Relieved Wisconsin can't be bought. As I grew up a "penny-head" and a "FIB", this is the nicest thing I have said about Wisconsin, ever.

Do your friends keep destroying your favorite win con? Is it a permanent? Is that permanent the ONlY way you really want to win? Boy, do I have a card for you! #Dragonstorm #KittenMittens

"Why is it ALSO a four mana 5/5?!?" Screamed Serra Angel.

Cyclones Advance!

Belated weekend cube recap. Successful 6 Person Rotisserie Draft of the Dominaria set. One copy of each card in the set. Snake drafted. Face up. Draft took about 80 minutes. It had been a long time since many of us drafted the set.

Off to Buffalo to see the college boys. Cards, games, beer, whiskey, laughs, laughs, and more laughs. Super pumped to start this trip.

Expected, no, craved, a cold open to top 50 years of cold opens. Instead Sabrina Carpenter. Rough... #SNL50

Here is my deck from our playgroup's Aetherdrift draft yesterday. Gruul Vehicles. Played 5 opponents in best of three. Went 4-1. Did I play 2 Legacs and 3 Pothole Moles? Yes. Was it good? Also yes. #Aetherdrift #magicthegathering

Cloudflare says I'm still a human. Whew, I needed that reminder.

Oracle of the Alpha and Snap Caster Mage in the Arena Chromatic Cube is nutty. I 100% only enjoy this combo if they are in my deck. If my opponent has them, I want them removed from the cube immediately. That's rational, right?

Remove the word "Commander". Repeat the question louder. Teach children to "think ahead on the other players turn" early.

I left a Nickelback CD in my trade in car. It's called "Paying it forward."

@ticketmaster.com your system is stupid. Tickets released at noon for @nin.com that I couldn't get because of bot purchases are now being resold for double the value. Tell me, what value do you bring to the table here? When do concert tickets become non-transferable?

The Bills can pull this off, right?

I look forward to this every year. I'll watch what I can today AND watch the vod again later.

Foundation Emperor Night last night. Great time despite my team getting blown out. Another one of those score cards where you lose so bad in the heads up games your team doesn't make it to the Emp Match.

4am. 14 friends come and gone. The house cleaned. (Relatively) I overheard someone: "Blind Commander is the Superbowl of our playgroup." Statements like that are validating. Tell people you appreciate their efforts. It keeps them going. Thank them endlessly. It feels small. It's not.
