Heya Dan!

After checking my records of the cubes I was in charge of producing during my time as MTGO PM, vs this post and its comments, you're missing these 2 great Cubes:

Harper O'Neill's Alpha Core Set Cube (Tagging @imharperoneill.bsky.social)

Ryan Saxe's Classic Cube

Hopefully that helps!

Hey, he helped me get a career, so I’m forever indebted to that loser.

Thank you both for the transparency, and the celerity of it. It's super appreciated!

Oh, and for making the first card game in the past 20 years that I've decided to go all in with! Been playing tons and looking forward to the future (and Ezreal in Set 2)!

Thanks for demoing! The writing and presentation of the game was certainly a mood (positive connotation).

Excited to see your progress in it!

EMPATHY [Trivial: Success] - You almost feel bad for the beat down that’s about to occur.

Almost.

Thanks Mr. Bones! It’s no S.E.T.I., but I wager you’d still have a good time! Let me know next time you’re in town and we can jam!

Thank you for hosting a most excellent Live Podcast/Music show! It made the trip down to Portland even more worth it, and I might even start listening to a second podcast, other than Strong Songs! Click Click Click! #WideSword #LongSword

Who said that?! They got it right in 1.

I immediately make a Grixis Deck with it, of course!

Then at FNM I cast Deny Reality bouncing a land and cascaded into Double Negative.

I don’t think I ever learned so much in an instant.

I used to think this was the coolest and strongest card ever made. I was so confused why it wasn’t played. I compared it to Cryptic Command, a card I had never played and didn’t even know what it did (it didn’t have words!!), but everybody loved to talk about it.
