I haven't done Vintage Cube in a hot minute, so I figured SURELY I can have some fun? Narset + Wheel? Check. Taking 14 turns to your 6? Check. Fractured ID cast 3 times to have all your stuff? Check. This is secretly a Grixis Deck, because I felt like Bolas. #mtgcube dreams.

Did you know that we are taking OPEN SUBMISSIONS for this year's Bar Cube Night hosted Thursday night of CubeCon at @deltabeerlab? These Cubes will make up a "library" for folks to check out and play. Submit your 4 player Cubes, DanDans, Judge Towers, EDH Cubes, and more⬇️
Inspired by the newest @luckypaperMtG episode and the *~vibes~* of Bar Cube (@DGallenMtg & @ChillMtGTV's videos on design philosophy) I made my first bar cube, the Bargin Bin Bulk Rare Bar Cube (BBBRBC). It is basically a bulk rare redraft in cube form.

Mono-Red Cube was a fitting end to the @TheManaVaultMKE #BarBCube! Oh, and managing to win it all to become BarBCube Champ - Madison is 2 for 2 in ManaVault cube events!

#BarBCube update over at @TheManaVaultMKE: Combo Cube was an absolute banger! I didn't have any strict A-B combos, but lots of strong synergies and powerful effects. 3-0 again, so I'm locked for top 8!

Currently 3-0, 6-0, after a round of vintage cube at @TheManaVaultMKE, for the summer #BarBCube event! Not sure how I feel about all these green cards, though... 🤔

MAD Cube designed by @BearlyLupe and @_Mikujin is a staple of the Madison Cube community 🦩 It is known for its synergistic and interactive midrange game play. During draft, look for bombs - and plenty of answers for them - to ensure that only you can live the game ending dream

Im thrilled to announce the creation of the MKE Cube 2023! This is a “Fruitcake” style Cube inspired by @_Mikujin ‘s original idea. Six talented designers (myself included😉) each picked 50 nonland cards printed in 2023 to add, resulting in a high powered and complex #CUBE 🧵⬇️

All hail the one true ruler of the Multiverse 👑
You lay out your Cube for a draft. You count the packs... And you're one card short! Oh no! You need to throw one card in to even it out, and the draft is about to begin. Quick! What do you put in? #wotcstaff

Monday night is #mtgcube night! We only filled to 7 tonight, but any night with Fruitcake Cube is a big night of fun (and more practice at the art of the selfie). Among the spicy new ingredients was Saw in Half, a card that's sure to double your fun (or at least my Seige Rhino)!

Small turnout tonight for #mtgcube, but a great bunch. Plus, I got to practice the Joe-selfie. It's improving. Maybe.

Monday night #mtgcube night! Four of us played @SamuelHBlack's Commander Cube, while everyone else jammed the Fruitcake Cube! Notably everyone cooked for Fruitcake, and we had 6 new players add their own spice!

Oh, also: someone playing Fruitcake Cube did manage to draft and win four games with Door to Nothingness. Truly, a drafter after my own heart.

Also Commander Cube taught me Thrilling Encore is an extremely messed up card to cast.
