The MVP might have been those chocolate covered strawberries!

Even though building and maintaining a Cube is a lot of work, I am constantly reminded how rewarding it is when you get to play it with friends.

I wasn’t expecting to go to church today.

I’ve always been the person to tease my Commander friends about playing an inferior format (cause Cube is the best), but this guy has persuaded me. I love lands, graveyard strategies, and sacrifice themes. Here’s all of it, at once.

What have I become?

The B&R is all part of the master plan for this little laughing guy to rise to the top!

We were in Mexico City for less than 24 hours, but it was fun!

I pulled a surge foil Kefka over the #MagicCon weekend and didn’t care for it, so I traded it for an alt art Vivi. I’m very happy with that trade, and he’ll go in my Cube for sure.

My first time ever playing a Vintage Cube, and I go 3-0! It was a blast to see the cards and build the deck, even though I had low confidence. I know my deck was good, but I didn’t know the potential of the Cube, so I just assumed that I missed “better” things to do. Thanks @aquaone.bsky.social!!

LET’S PLAY SOME CCAARRDDSS!!!

This is the best Korok seed ever!!

Congrats!!

I’m slowly working towards being a content creator! I’m in the San Fernando Valley. Anything I could assist with?

They’ll announce the last set of the year, which was listed as UUB (Unknown Universes Beyond). It’ll be Avatar, the Last Airbender. They’ll probably mention how they teased it on Arena, too.

uuhhh….. that’s all I got for now!

3/3

We’ll get some art pieces for Spiderman. Maybe they’ll even kick it off with that meme of “I need pictures of Spiderman!”

A location for Worlds at the end of the year, which won’t be Vegas.

Locations for future Spotlight Series, which will hopefully feature Pioneer.

2/3

MagicCon Chicago predictions:

We’ll get a decent amount of early preview cards for Tarkir Dragonstorm, specifically Sarkhan and Ugin.

We’ll get a few more previews for Final Fantasy.

A couple of Secret Lairs for Final Fantasy, with different bundles focusing on different games.

1/3

A full art Thraby Baby is the only thing I needed from this set, and here she is. I love her. 🤍

Bushwhack is a split card.

Bush: get a land
Whack: fight

Finally got a trophy 🏆 in Foundations! It was only my third draft though, so one out of three ain’t bad!

4-3
3-3
7-2 🏆

14-8 total

You’d think I’d be sponsored or something.

Nope, just a big fan of the game!

Did two Arena Foundations drafts last night. Went 4-3 with 🔴⚪️ aggro and then 3-3 with ⚪️⚫️ lifegain/sacririce. Out of the six losses, three of them came from running out of gas after drawing four land in a row. There aren’t a whole lot of mana sinks, or maybe I’m still building the decks wrong…

Have fun out there man!

There are like 44 cards I want to consider for my Arena based Cube. Most of them are new cards, but some are new-to-Arena, such as Dark Confidant. I’m very much looking forward to using it, especially with this fantastic art!

This feels real nice so far! Still in deck building though!

It’s prerelease weekend for Magic Foundations!! Who else is going?

My wife does a lot of writing about her travels. Here’s her website with her Lisbon experiences.

My wife and I visited Lisbon a few months ago. It was really lovely!

I spent a few hours last night to type up a beginner’s guide for the Magic the Gathering Foundations prerelease. It clearly isn’t going to be as complex and intricate as Duskmourn, but it should be a more welcoming and relaxed environment for the newer and casual players, which sounds great to me!

I’ll be on here now, in addition to the other place.

Hi! My name is Onnik, and I love Magic the Gathering. My favorite format is Limited, and I have a Cube. Lately, I’ve been talking about Magic much more than actually playing it. I love helping and teaching new players.

Here’s my chunky dog.
