Reviewing ONE right now, and I really like the look of how these cards/mechanics play together. The interaction between oil counters, toxic, proliferate, and corrupted looks well thought out and quite fun (while also supporting artifacts and spells decks too).
After an exhaustive process (and lots of “interesting” suggestions), here’s our revamped cube list! It’s 7 cards over for now, since we are trying some stuff, but excited to get back into the trenches 🪖
Got a special event on stream tonight - in about an hour (assuming setup goes well), we are going to get to watch a Beta starter get cracked - one of my old friends has decided to open his and we are having him call in!
Things I'm high on this season:
- Breach + LED + Freeze
- UR Aggro/Tempo/Twin
- 5c Midrange
- Reanimator
Things I'm low on:
- Mono-Green
- Sneak decks (still ok but worse than prev)
- Ritual Storm / UG Storm
- U/X Control without a fast win-con
MonoR and MonoW are still good
My Cube #Top50 list - I could probably shuffle these around a bunch more, but this is roughly where I'm at (Breach is there because I play with it a ton, though I don't think you should or need to first pick it).
2022 me had a great NYE party (and I hope everyone else had a great evening too!). 2023 me gets stuck with the cleanup, making past me the shark and present me the sucker.
got me an incredible gift - the longest-running D&D campaign I ran from high school and the magic item book I drew inspiration from. Truly amazing 🧙♂️
Asinine change after asinine change and Twitter is still the best social media platform. My confidence is lower than before but I still would bet against any of the alternatives taking its place.
I streamed more than I thought this year - the last bunch of streams have been fun, and I look forward to more (especially now that I have an office again).
