Tonight's ECL draft opponents completely wiped me. No deck photo because it was bad! ECL had a ton of great cards with choices, more than a few made it into Options this year.

Lover of music, games, cats, and good books. I play a lot of mtg and got to help CubeCon 2024 happen!
Pod 2 of Options Cube was this morning, and they had a brief break before I showed up to bug them during their rounds. I'm so happy people enjoyed my cube, I really appreciated getting to chat with drafters on card selection, gameplay, and drafting thoughts. 1/3
Day 4 of #cubecon is in the books! Last draft was the 6 Drop Cube, I assembled UBw graveyard and suspend value. Trying to find a curve inside all 6 drops was interesting, and the fight to cast first was harsh. Ended 1-1-1.
You're in @aquaone.bsky.social's powered cube, you're in blue but need some juice and open this for your last pack. How many of you answer the siren call of yet another pack?
Options Cube got drafted yesterday at #cubecon, and I got to pester the pod for their favorite card(s) from their deck. Love these picks!
Day 3 of #cubecon is in the books! Draft #3 was A Brooding Saga where I drafted UBwr in order to loop Replenish and Time Warp. This deck was fantastic to play, and used an awful lot of brain power. 2-1 losing only to aggro. Favorite play was Enlightened Tutor for Valgavoth's Lair.
Day two of #cubecon in the books! First up was The Good Old Days cube, one I've drafted before as it's curated by Madison native Fritz. I started with Akroma and found reanimator to be very open, running to a good 2-1 finish. Faced RG monsters, Rw Goblins, and UW control. I loved this deck.
Little bonus from yesterday's #cubecon, the actual factual painting from @jordanlablond.bsky.social our playmats are printed from! You can see it by the prize wall. (though you can't spend tickets to get it) She's knocked it out of the park yet again, I can't wait to see my playmat!
Day 1 of #cubecon is in the books! I'm asking each of my opponents for a picture with their favorite card in the deck they drafted. First up is The Chrome Wars, I drafted a decent UB artifacts deck with Urza and Quantum Riddler, going 1-1-1 to lose to our 3-0 drafter in the finals.
I can't speak for the rest of you but my LGS has had fantastic attendance for Secrets of Strixhaven draft. We've had a consistent 3 pods each week since release! The decks I've cobbled together have been a blast, and I'm gearing up for my pre-Cubecon voting update.
Got to draft Lorwyn Eclipsed last night and was finally convinced that Ashling deserves a spot in Options Cube. Starting a turn with the decision point of flipping the card was a real highlight.
The most humbling thing about STS2 is that my win rate goes up if I use the boss reward that plays my cards from left to right
Happy Slay the Spire 2 release day to those who celebrate this sacred holiday ✨️
Howdy, gamers. 👋 Emma here, and I'm here to bring you some exciting news about CubeCon 2026! There's a lot to go through today, so let's dive in! 👀 #CubeCon2026 #MTGCube
@magicstorytime.bsky.social I've been jamming a Thunderous Wrath list for years at this point and was wondering if you've ever come across it. I saw someone else discussing it on a discord and immediately put it together. What do you think? moxfield.com/decks/QRtGYj...

We had some of the most beautiful snow I've ever seen this week. Not only were the flakes perfectly formed, they were large enough to sparkle on the ground, maybe 1/8" tall. Watching what looked like glitter rain from the sky was wonderful.
Belated post but I got to chaos draft with my friends back home this weekend! In a 7-pod I ended up in Rakdos Sacrifice through a pair of first picks from MOM and EOE. Next up for us, a weekend of cardboard next time I'm home. (Name redacted to protect the innocent: me)
Apparently all the humor of “I’ll have what she’s having” is lost at the pharmacy. Smh.
We baked some pies for Thanksgiving: A standard apple pie (my second ever!) A chocolate crust pecan pie Cannot wait to dig into these tomorrow
If you've got a draft crew looking for a really fun afternoon, consider a fruitcake draft! (Also called stone soup elsewhere) Everyone brings 45 cards and 5 of each land sleeved up in a unique color with whatever rules for the 45 you want, then it's shuffled up and drafted.
Last week, we gathered, and together we created the largest Cube event of the year. Why did we do that? (🧵) #mtgcube #CubeCon2025 1/7
