I don't think I know many people who spend more time thinking and writing deliberately about a single cube than my dear buddy @deinonychus9.bsky.social. This article of his he's worked on for a year, and I highly recommend it. At my California event he mentions, this cube was the number one pick!
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.

The Chicago cubers were so welcoming to me when I visited there this spring! If you are able to come to this, I'd highly recommend it!
You've cubed in Madison.
You've cubed in New York.
You've cubed in DC.
Now it's time to cube slightly outside of Chicago.

We didn't get Salt n Pauper onto MTGO, but a different West Coast cuber has his enchantments cube up for a vote this week! Let's try and get Rory's enchantments cube online- I played with him in the top 8 of Seattle, and It's quite popular in the Portland cube scene!

I mostly record my podcast instead of posting all my cube pictures here as often, but tonight was special despite no occasion, so I'm doing a mini thread here.

My favorite deck I've drafted in this version of the mtgo cube- all five colors, reanimator aggro midrange flash with a 43rd pick Metamorphosis fanatic, black lotus and 5 of the top 6 one drops in the game? Really felt like a "Jesus take the wheel" kinda 3-0 #mtgcube

I went to this on Sunday and it restored my love of magic, truly amazing time
INW CubeFest 2025 this past weekend was a blazing success. ~50 folks, infinite fun, one 7-pod of 100 Ornithopters whose drafters asked me to hop in as head judge to round out the pod, and which I 3-0’d with some chagrin… can’t wait to do it again next year.

I started playing Magic in 2006. My friend
@deinonychus9.bsky.social started in 2020. We're exploring the differences in starting the same game 14 years apart.
2007 features Planar Chaos, Future Sight, Tenth Edition, Lorwyn, and... Shahrazad?

Had cake and two cubes tonight to celebrate one of our drafters birthdays and say goodbye to another as they go home for the end of the semester. A delightful time out here in Santa Rosa with lovely people who are always happy to have others come and join us!
