You've seen how wild we can get, but the third cube at #STL^3 takes us back to a simpler time. One final vintage cube, but found in a time capsule from 2003. @rollerderbykaya.bsky.social's Reject Modernity is a beautiful love letter to an age gone by, full of plenty of love and old border foils.
ngl I have very little motivation to write this Hobbit cube review; I aim to get it done by Wednesday but it really feels like I'm walking through fucking sludge to do it
I put on The Last Stand for some reason and all I can think of is the greatest tumblr post of all time

Cube players! The second cube in our event is 100 Lotuses by @poisoneddonut.bsky.social! What will YOU do with a sinful amount of mana?
You know where the cost of a cube draft is NOT too high? With your local group meeting weekly! The folks running our event host drafts with a huge variety of interesting cubes Every. Single. Tuesday. Get to know us in our Discord server and we'd love to have you join our drafts!
Amy the Amazonian@amytheamazonian.bsky.social · 2w agoThe price to play Cube Drafts in MTG Arena is too high.

This Hobbit set is getting really weird
#mtgcube players! Have you been snoozin on cube submissions? Our organizers are making their first round of selections this week! For the best chance to have you cube included, submit before 12pm, Thursday, July 30.
I remember when I had Dragon's Rage Channeler as a preview for my cube podcast & did a delayed post there so that it'd post at midnight EST, but something screwed up on the podcast's site and it leaked early, and was... surprised when I saw the card in my discord's preview channel. Such a contrast.
Amy the Amazonian@amytheamazonian.bsky.social · last wk.Yet again, a new person on the MtG Ambassador program has broken embargo and shown pack openings early. This is like 5 sets in a row. Y'all PLEASE READ THE INFO THEY GIVE YOU. You can show cards AFTER the gallery goes up. Friday. Usually 1pm ET.
Tomorrow is the Columbus Community Cube Fest!! C4AC Obscura and playing @worklifevalue.bsky.social Mysterybox at Boston Cube Party last month served as inspiration for me to bring a Mystery Cube to our event. This is not an original design, but a copy of an existing, super cool cube 👀 #mtgcube
#mtgcube players! We have our first featured cube announcement for #STL^3! @aquaone.bsky.social is bringing his gorgeous vintage cube for your gaming pleasure. The cube is drafted in 4 packs of 13. What is your #P1P1 from this lovely assortment?

One thing I like about the release schedule next year is how it alternates between in-Magic and Universes Beyond in a consistent way. No back-to-back nonsense, which means if you are someone who doesn't have to engage with Universes Beyond - you have an in-Magic release every four months.
Magic: The Gathering@magic.wizards.com · 3w agoWe did say there were four MagicCons next year... Our final MagicCon of 2027 will be right back in Amsterdam December 3rd -5th!
It's gonna be awesome. :) #mtgcube
STL^3@stlouiscubed.bsky.social · 3w agoDid you know that you can play in all 4 drafts over the 2 days of the event for the same price as a Universes Beyond prerelease?? And that isn't even mentioning the secret plans we have cooking up for our best in the Midwest cube event! #STL^3
I have to walk my dog outside and he was very cranky yesterday because we only walked 10 minutes but I feel like if I try to put a KN95 mask on him he will protest?

Starting a cube can be overwhelming! I'm excited to present this panel at our local cube event. :)
STL^3@stlouiscubed.bsky.social · 3w agoTrying to build your first cube got you down? Well @usmantherad.com is here to help! During the #STL^3 Top 8 draft, Usman will be hosting "Cube Building for Dummies" and give you the tips and tricks you need to build the cube of your dreams!
💯 The signed copy of Shriekmaw in my cube when I met Marshall from LR; and his podcast helped me through some rough times and got me to eventually start (the first) cube podcast and although the signature makes the card kinda hard to read, it's a prized treasure that I'll keep on my desk, at worst.
Shivam Bhatt@shivambhatt.bsky.social · 3w agoGetting a signature is not about owning a signature, its about triggering a memory of a time I met someone important to me.
