I am really fortunate that Bodleian Cube gets to be featured in many cube events. I have compiled and analyzed the data from the 2024 events and wrote about what I decided to do with that data. I hope it gives curators ideas about using their event draft data too.

My latest update to Bodleian Cube is ready to go. Checkout my very long writeup here: cubecobra.com/cube/blog/bl....

I can't wait to share the cube with more of you at events in 2026. Hoping to get to announce some very soon!

I really enjoyed this video from Brian. I think he does a great job breaking down some issues with how UB has been implemented from the perspective of someone who is broadly okay with it.
Shared my thoughts on the current state of Magic and Universes Beyond, and the problems the current direction presents - even if you're not a hater

MJ is an awesome part of our cube community. Consider helping if you have the means!
I'm sleeping at my parents, post breakup. I get out to my car to grab what I left in there last night, and both passenger tires are completely flat. I can't do this. 😭

I gotta find a place to live, and now replace my tires. I've never done this, and feel sick about it, but can y'all help me out?

This was a cool episode. I loved meeting these three at Cubecon last year and their insight into design was very interesting.

A Friday #mtgcube P1P1 from Bodleian.

1. What do you take for fun
2. To win?
3. Do you use your free Cogwork Librarian for a second card?

I think there are a few eye catching cards and a few dark horses in this pack.

My Edge of Eternities update for Bodleian Cube.

Not a huge update this time. Testing some interesting cards and cutting a few low investment outliers to give some slower cards breathing room.

I'm pleasantly surprised by EOE for #mtgcube overall.

I finally got to try @phantooom.bsky.social 's Oldest School last week. It felt more like kitchen table Magic than any cube I've ever played in the best way. I had to read every card, but that made taking down the 3-0 and even more pleasant surprise. Words of War + Sinbad was sick as hell.

2008 features Morningtide, Shadowmoor, Eventide, and... what was that 4th set? (Your guess is better than Jake's)

Trump and Republicans in Congress are trying to pull off one of the biggest heists in U.S. history.

The so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” is robbery, plain and simple.

And it’s being committed by the billionaire class and the politicians they put into office.

My latest Bodleian Cube update. Some returning favorites and some new spice. One of the most powerful cards in the cube is gone as well. It's a small update overall, but I'm excited to see how it will play.

Shoutout to @junkzero.bsky.social for recommending an awesome poem to headline Midwinter's Overview. I'd wanted something like this for a while, and it is perfect.
