Big game tonight. A house divided. My wife is from Milwaukee and a Brewers fan. I grew up in Illinois and am a Cubs fan. We live in the Twin Cities and don't want our 4 month old daughter to be a twins fan. I bought the dog's loyalty for the night with ribeye scraps. Let's hoist the W!

Like Bones mentioned in the cast, I also haven't found an easy way to cut out, hand out, and peel the stickers other than to just put in the time. I did bring 8 small razors for my players.
I did enjoy listening to my players trouble shoot this process for 45 minutes with little progress made.

Avery sticker paper here too. We often play in bad lighting. I'm not sure if it's my low quality printer or the lighting, but I found the text with the background from MSE washed out visually. So I made my own keyword sheet. This also allowed me to to get a higher density per sheet color code it.

The group loved it. It was fun to watch trepidation turn into excited engagement. Everyone started walking around the room showing each other their creations.
It was fun to hear the group speculate on which cards will get retired first.
Thanks for putting the pod. This group appreciates it.

This was the first draft of this cube. I have uploaded all the images to the cube cobra list. cubecobra.com/cube/overvie...
I found the records tab and got curious. I added all the decks and bracket. If you update all the images before uploading the decks, the images are used in the decks.

@domrikade.bsky.social @goblingathering.bsky.social As requested. This is the group's first context shift cube. I eased into it. Glad I brought handouts. The key needs some edits. I made a few departures from Bone's version. I don't care about flavor text and whited it out on many cards.

I don't understand the appeal of attempting to frantically spit poor sports analysis into a microphone in front of a screaming crowd.
Can we stop with this?

The little gremlin was sleeping well. Managed to squeak in a trophy with this green black deck.
I managed to pull off the Broodtender Gravship loop in multiple games.

The battle ship came out as Emp. The theory being I wouldn’t want to wipe both my wings and wouldn't have creatures to station it once it was on board. All four of my top end power came in pack three. I was very close to having nothing to ramp into.

The Emp game however, was not close. Trev stationed up Adagia early. Then, of course he started making copies of Susrian Dirgcraft making Steve sac a creature every turn. We couldn’t keep up.
My deck was fantastic heads up, but so-so in the middle seat.

The first EOE Emperor Night is in the books. Good set for this. Lots of interaction.
Everything was tied up going into the Emperor Game.

This little engine was nice to play with. That cute little doggy did a lot of work for me. Quite a bit of fetch.

I won whenever I played Sunset Saboteur on turn two. The rest of the deck was filled with tap effects able to make Sabetoteur's Menace ability shine.

Just getting to posting this now. 1-2 at the EOE prerelease. Poor record, but it was a lot of fun.
Built Blue/Black control. Multiple Warp synergies made the deck a fun puzzle to play out.

Will there be small styrofoam cups of ice cream that you eat with wooden spoons? If yes, I'm in!
