The MTGO Vintage Cube is such a sloppy mess at the moment. It's full of awful standard cards (when there are many interesting standard cards that could be used and aren't) that all go last pick, while gameplay remains dominated by the same unfun commander and MH cards that have plagued it for years.

i joke but it genuinely really hurts to watch the game that in many ways saved my life a decade ago turn into a case study for everything that's bad about corporate art and intellectual property

I’ve come up with a new format that I’m naming after one of my heroes, John Cage. This is kind of a joke but also serious. Here’s how it works: find the cards you’ve intentionally drafted over the years or buy cards that you think would be good draft picks. Shuffle them together and draft.
