CubeCobra has a daily P1P1 is from the #CascadeCube! You can vote and see if you picked what I did.
As a reminder, each player starts the game with a Maelstrom Nexus emblem.
(Spoilers: I was the only person to pick this card, and I think it's unambiguously one of the strongest cards in the cube.)

Ever quickly type out a deck or trade list, but you can't upload it somewhere cause card names aren't exactly right? Run it through the spellchecker to validate and auto correct every card name!
