Hello everybody, it’s another set release and another update to my Cube. In my last release, I spoke of what I wanted to focus on with that cube update, and I’ll do so again. This update is HUGE in a variety of ways — one, we have a huge sea change in the manafixing portion [...]

While my Official Worldwake Cube Update is still a week or so away (it will coincide with the actual release of Rise of the Eldrazi, as I fully playtest my changes w new sets before advocating them), starting with Worldwake I’ve begun pre-ordering foils I feel will be worth testing in the cube.

Okay, so I was bored in San Diego waiting for the Pro Tour festivities to start and thought — why don’t I have pictures of my cube? So I made some. Be on the lookout for some Worldwake updates I’m trying out as well! Enjoy!

This time we’re adding five cards per color bringing the total cube size to 580 cards. Woo! I’m happy with a growth rate of 25 cards [...]

Hello everybody, it’s that time again…with Zendikar released into the wild, it’s time to add Magic 2010 cards to the Cube as well as shake up the colors in the direction I feel they should go. Remember, the cube is your chance (and mine) to be developer and designer, so feel free to add or [...]

Hello everybody, it’s been awhile, hasn’t it? I apologize for neglecting my cube-related duties. I’ve scoured the past two sets for their untold treasures, basked in the raw goodness of many-a-card, and now it’s time to lay down the gauntlet and for the “Cube Mothership” to detail the Official CubeDrafting.com Conflux and Alara Reborn updates. [...]
