Peeps! Besides #MtGCube, what forms of Magic do you prefer to enjoy? My other vices are Vintage and Gold Bordered Constructed (without actual deck construction ;)

DO NOT CLICK THE ENVELOPE/INBOX TAB IN ARENA IF YOU ARE DRAFTING

It will start an unskippable cutscene advertising Edge of Eternities. The only way to get out of it faster and not miss your picks is to restart the entire client. You can't exit via the settings menu. You have to force-close it.

Some backstory: KoKonuts bested @cr4cksh07.bsky.social not only in @felix.mtg-cube.de's CubeVitational Hamburg but also in the Potsdam Cube Open...

No wonder cr4cksh07 chose to organize this time rather than competing! 😄

(Just kidding—I'm sure cr4cksh07 will have his revenge! ⚔️)

Thank you for once again granting us a community spotlight pick, @cubecon.org! 🙌

We get to curate cubes when we please, but it’s a sweet privilege to contribute to the curation of this event! 😄
A community spotlight from Cube&Chaos, we have elevengu's Rarity Cube. This cube says that a higher number of colors makes a more powerful card, and it conveys this thesis in stunning clarity by scaling the number of colors with the rarity of the card. P1P1? #mtgcube #CubeCon2025

In response to the latest LPR episode: In my opinion, there is a second big leaver to avoid 5c-goodstuff to be dominant

2 color seeded synergies! Finding the balance between the overlap between them and power of fixing allows experienced players to experiment, and helps newer drafters with #2CUDS

I had completely missed the wording change of edict effects that came with Foundations.

I like it, but I’m also surprised that we get a longer rather than a shorter phrasing in this case!
The lower rarity cards on the Planeswalker sheet are held together much more loosely. It's very hard to thematically connect with Planeswalkers without being able to make new cards. I included the cards that existed, like Oaths, and settled for some stretches and weirdos.

CubeOpen Potsdam #2 sold all 48 tickets in 9 days! Cube events are so hot right now. The Potsdam crew has steadily been building a great community over last years and it shows. Also kinda glad I get to play and not organize in this one :)
