Bring your own cards or chaff errata'd to fit the rules of the cube and you very well may get the stamp of (dis?)-approval and a chance to win your very own Prohibition themed coaster!

Keep it on the down low, but if you find me at Bar Cube night, I'll be running games and a Contraband Competition with Prohibition - a bar cube where Blue is BANNED and you'll need to smuggle your contraband if you want to play with the most powerful spells.

It's important to remember how these chuds pretend to act respectable in order to hide their hate under completely reasonable pretenses like "I'm just wearing my silly red hat."

There's a story about a bar owner written by Michael B Tager in 2020 that's worth a read if you haven't seen it before.

Back in 2020, a writer named Michael B. Tager wrote a few tweets about his time at a dive bar in his native Baltimore.

While he was enjoying an after work beer he noticed the bartender booting out a seemingly quiet patron. This patron was wearing a jacket covered in Nazi symbolism.

When Tager asked about why he booted the guy, the bartender, a seasoned pro, said that if you let one Nazi in, slowly they replace the clientele.

“You have to nip it in the bud immediately,” he said, as Trager paraphrased. “These guys come in and it's always a nice, polite one. And you serve them because you don't want to cause a scene. And then they become a regular and after a while, they bring a friend. And that dude is cool too.”

“And then THEY bring friends and the friends bring friends and they stop being cool and then you realize, oh *****, this is a Nazi bar now,” he continued. ”And it's too late because they're entrenched and if you try to kick them out, they cause a PROBLEM. So you have to shut them down.”

Kitsa only needs 3 power to copy anything so you need to cast a cantrip, time spiral, and have 2 spare mana to copy. Best part is that you can’t shortcut if your opponent can draw into interaction or if you need to draw specific cards 😂

Had a friend who moved away visiting this week and we got to play Vistas. I removed all 2 card combos from the cube but he decided to go through the list looking for other combos and managed to 3-0 with this monstrosity. He combo’d 3 different ways during matches. Can you find them all? #mtgcube

Every draft when the cards get boxed and players keep flipping over the piles and look at them to fix it
