Who else here is old enough to go "wait, aren't vintage and type 1 the same thing?"?

Anyway, go donate!

If I win, I promise to add Fleem to the Cube. A vote for me is a vote for Fleem!

Gamers- I need your help! Back in 2019 my Grixis Cube was featured on Magic Online as a Spotlight Cube, and ever since then I've always wanted to update the Cube for another run based off of what I learned from that experience and about Cube broadly since then- and now might be my chance!

I'll be honest, gamers, I'm getting smooshed. But every vote counts and voting is open until Monday!

It's not even that good. 49.9% on mtgo the last couple weeks of challenges apparently. Maybe the Vivi decks are shaving removal again. Boros is favored in the pseudo-mirror (Sheltered by Ghosts probably). Jeskai Control and Orzhov Pixie have good matchups against it too.

We are one week closer to the release of OMENS OF CHAOS, and the glorious return of Magic the Gathering long-form fiction!

A book cover against a blue background reading COMING FEBRUARY 17, 2026. The book cover shows a blonde-haired human New Capenna shield mage in the robes of a first year Strixhaven mage-scholar, casting a domed shield around herself. The school is behind her. The text on the cover reads "STRIXHAVEN | OMENS OF CHAOS | SEANAN MCGUIRE | New York Times Bestselling Author."
