White elephant stone soup draft today with the @cubeforacause.upkeepnewyork.com crew!
This is my 45. Stone soup rules are: everyone brings a color balanced pool of 45 cards, and then we shuffle them up and draft. This week, we did it a little different because we drafted for keeps!

18 for #mtgcube at this weeks @cubeforacause.upkeepnewyork.com's weekly cube night, for two (over-full) pods! This week I was drafting one of our core cubes, @maxspero.bsky.social's Zonal Synergy Cube: cubecobra.com/cube/list/zo...

I don't care how correct it may be. I will never pick Ragavan over Time Walk.

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

🏆 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.

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 😭
