i love playing magic: the gathering cube draft with my friends
It was super fun. I brought ~$100 of cards and left with a pool I was excited about. Drafted an abzan tokens deck. Had a conspiracy to give Thalia and the Gitrog Monster haste. Overall a great time!

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!

🏆 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.

What are some cards similar to Strategic Betrayal / Go Blank that have graveyard hate stapled onto a slightly below-rate effect? Looking for effects across colors, ideally less powerful than Lion Sash and more maindeckable than Soul-Guide Lantern.

3-0 in last week's cube night - the inaugural draft of a 4-color artifact cube!
I ended up drafting mostly a historic/legends deck with a lot of creatures that were able to dodge artifact removal by being non-artifacts.
Exorcise is also crazy in a cube with artifact lands.

Currently there are eleven cubes that you can use in your @scryfall.com searches with "cube:" and they're all woefully out of date. What would it take to extend this search term to all lists on @cubecobra.com?

I think Atraxa and Archon of Cruelty are both too much. maybe Griselbrand is OK?

What's a good reanimation target for Zonal Synergy? I feel like Scourge of Nel Toth is showing its age...

Final round of PTQ, opp convinced me to ID at 5-2 but I don't really understand the math here.
Top 32 play day 2 and top 128 get a pricey promo.
Can anyone weigh in on whether I had a shot at top 32 if I won?
Chances I would fall out of top 128 if I lost?
My breakers were exactly average.
