Weird to me that Booster Tutor in MTGA is not implemented rules as written. The opened pack isn't even revealed!

I don't care how correct it may be. I will never pick Ragavan over Time Walk.
Posted this after the draft and here I am like an hour later 3-0 6-0 lol. Took Ragavan over Time Walk P1P1 🙃

I was in meetings yesterday when I saw my phone flood with notifications, tags, congrats and more. I don’t have words to express how cool it is to be shouted out by prof and the team at TCC for being part of the proliferation of sick grass roots events. Cube has been healing, moving experience & 1/x

can't wait for 17lands data to tell us that some big dumb made-for-commander card is actually stronger than a mox

🏆 7 wins in my first Arena Vintage Cube Draft! I rarely trophy my MTGO drafts, but I'm definitely happy that more people get to play vintage cube even if the field is softer

Made the mistake of being interested in a secret lair for the first time in a while. Got there early, joined the queue, and everything I wanted sold out in 45 minutes while I still had another hour left in the queue. Really cool, guys.

It's Wednesday and we had 14 people for cube at @cubeforacause.upkeepnewyork.com's weekly Cube night!
We had a new cube "Choose your own adventure" fire its first draft (and @johnclara.bsky.social can share some more about that).I played one of our long time drafters @maxspero.bsky.social's cube!

104 tickets is insane!! Lfg!!!!
Moment of vulnerability- when I sat down with @jenn-the-judge.bsky.social earlier this year for coffee and said I wanted to double #C4AC I thought it was a super ambitious & unrealistic goal. As of today we’ve sold 104 tickets and expanded what we do & offer and I’m so happy.
See y’all Saturday 😭

What are some cards similar to Strategic Betrayal / Go Blank that have graveyard hate stapled onto a slightly below-rate effect? Looking for effects across colors, ideally less powerful than Lion Sash and more maindeckable than Soul-Guide Lantern.

3-0 in last week's cube night - the inaugural draft of a 4-color artifact cube!
I ended up drafting mostly a historic/legends deck with a lot of creatures that were able to dodge artifact removal by being non-artifacts.
Exorcise is also crazy in a cube with artifact lands.
