A tuesday #P1P1 from my Bodleian Cube!

What do you take for fun?
Do you take something different to win?
Do you use your free Cogwork to take a second card?

This pack has a few directions I could see being popular. I look forward to seeing what you all think.

Ive been really happy with the alter path, but it's something I've only done once so far due to price/time involved. I am considering for a few other cards.

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.

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.

Every time I see this card I think "why the hell did they print verges instead of this cycle?

Shoutout to the talented @goblingathering.bsky.social for designing these Player Envelopes for Bodleian Cube. I maintain an envelope for each card that makes tokens, but will be replacing all clues, foods, maps, and treasures with these. They also will mark draft seats, and contain the cogworks.

P1P1 from Midwinter. My snow desert cube based on Norse and Arthurian myth. I've been really enjoying dialing the vibes on this one in since BCP.

A GW rampy deck with Brightglass Gearhulk, blink, and tokens packages took down today's Bodleian Cube draft. There were so many interesting lines this deck could take, including what my group has dubbed cat dog combo (phelia + chariot). Gearhulk played so well, especially with retrofitter.

A drafter combined these 2 cards with graveyard exile in Bodleian Cube tonight. Cool to see Skimmer draw cards and then become big via Proft's.

Also got to see an Enduring Vitality trigger Kishla on death. Really happy with it as a new card from last night's update.

The Jeskai Winota/Stoneforge ft Narset Enlightened Exile (with blink atuff) i won last night's draft of Bodleian Cube with.

I was excited to draft this and nervous it wouldn't feel coheisve. The parts played together extremely well leading to some cool games.

Anyone have a cleaner deck name?

I'm still working on my post Boston Cube Party update, but I'm thrilled with how it played there and that I got to share it with so many #mtgcube fans.

@bostoncubeparty.com was nothing short of incredible. Shout out to @ollie.bostoncubeparty.com @gdekker.io and @goblingathering.bsky.social.

Thank you to the top 8 drafters for picking to draft Bodleian Cube. I'm still excited and honored, watching that draft was the perfect end to the event for me

My TDM update for Bodleian Cube, just in time for @bostoncubeparty.com next weekend.

I'll be doing 2 playtests drafts of these changes today at 2pm and 7:30PM East Coast Time, which have a few spots left. Shoot me a DM here/discord if you want in.
