Cube & Chaos

My Sci-Fi Cube is at CubeCon, and I hope *you* draft it! 🫵 🤖

Check out these sweet decks I got from drafting 2 packs of every seat: UR Crackdown, BR Sac/Discard, WB Go-Wide, and RW Control!

Also, I tried forcing the KCI deck a few times vs bots and it was open every time... just saying 😉

#mtgcube

I was kinda bummed that over 700 people voted for more vintage cube on MTGO (in addition to the vcube elims that are always available) whereas not even 300 people voted for a non-vintage cube

but then I remembered that Koth is one of those dissenters, and Koth is cool as hell. Be like Koth.

Part of the reason I didn't want to update Creatureless was that it felt too bloated, in terms of my own goals for it and in terms of card complexity. I drafted it last summer and while my deck was quite good, it felt miserable to play. But I'd only gotten better as a designer--how did I get there?🧵

Plot twist! 🤔

Pouring one out for your chaos draft set as we speak 😢

when you’re resting but suddenly remember that one misplay from years ago that cost you the game

C is just a good letter 🤝

Hogaak, Arisen Necropolis {5}{B/G}{B/G} Legendary Creature — Avatar You can’t spend mana to cast this spell. Convoke, delve (Each creature you tap while casting this spell pays for {1} or one mana of that creature’s color. Each card you exile from your graveyard pays for {1}.) You may cast this card from your graveyard. Trample 8/8

Mercy Killing {2}{G/W} Instant Target creature’s controller sacrifices it, then creates X 1/1 green and white Elf Warrior creature tokens, where X is that creature’s power. “We will give you the peace you seek, though you may not yet know you seek it.”

What's a two card combo you love from your #MTGCube?

Cube and draft win again? Surprise, surprise 😎

Can anyone think of a more perfect magic card than Scrapwork Mutt? Or do we all agree?

@cr4cksh07.bsky.social may be kind, but while playing against him, don't mistake his kindness for weakness. 😈

Nether Shadow {B}{B} Creature — Spirit Haste At the beginning of your upkeep, if this card is in your graveyard with three or more creature cards above it, you may put this card onto the battlefield. 1/1 Illustrated by Christopher Rush

Living Death {3}{B}{B} Sorcery Each player exiles all creature cards from their graveyard, then sacrifices all creatures they control, then puts all cards they exiled this way onto the battlefield. Illustrated by Charles Gillespie

Tortured Existence {B} Enchantment {B}, Discard a creature card: Return target creature card from your graveyard to your hand. “There are terrors lurking in the unseen corners of us all.” —Crovax Illustrated by Keith Parkinson

Blasting Station {3} Artifact {T}, Sacrifice a creature: This artifact deals 1 damage to any target. Whenever a creature enters, you may untap this artifact. Illustrated by Stephen Tappin

Four cards, four card types that are hugely influential to the way you enjoy Magic:

Is this anything

Not sure who in the #mtgcube community would get this one—maybe @snow-schwartz.bsky.social?

If you don’t mind playing single elimination, vintage cube never left!

Just a Jet, not even a Ruby for those latter two spells? Never lucky.

What’s commander? Is it like a singleton cube that isn’t drafted? If you don’t draft it, what’s the point?

Note to self: great chaos draft decks have Violent Eruption in them, apparently 📝

Not sure exactly how applicable it is to you but I love this article on cube construction by my cohost Jacob so I can't resist linking it here. Hopefully you find it helpful!

post a card that reminds you of the good times and a card that reminds you of the best times

"This cube is nothing more than sleeved-up retail limited"

"That's what all #mtgcube is"

"How could a member of my own family say something so horrible?"

Sounds like @cr4cksh07.bsky.social isn't sure who that is, but probably someone named Micha or Michael :)

(It’s been a while since we said something this goofy—this might’ve been the previous time 😄)

I know some cards are way more popular than others, but you’re telling me this card has its own Pro Tour?!

That’s sweet, actually (@fabtcg.com)

Yesterday, we ran a 16-person chaos draft tournament in our Discord! The winner? None other than the one and only Eken. 😎 🤩 You love to see it!

Some backstory: KoKonuts bested @cr4cksh07.bsky.social not only in @felix.mtg-cube.de's CubeVitational Hamburg but also in the Potsdam Cube Open...

No wonder cr4cksh07 chose to organize this time rather than competing! 😄

(Just kidding—I'm sure cr4cksh07 will have his revenge! ⚔️)

CubeOpen Braunschweig with KoKonuts (E028) Cube&Chaos · Episode

We just released our latest episode! 🥳

In this episode, Max and Jacob speak with Konrad (aka KoKonuts), the winner of Jacob's recent cube event: CubeOpen Braunschweig! 🧊 🏆

Yesterday one of my chaos draft opponents had Arcades + Wall of Kelp, and another had Scrivener + Scrollshift.

There's plenty of synergy in chaos—it can be tough to find, but it's sick as hell when you do.
