In a format where you can build around it with a high density of specific triple-pip cards, the exact opposite of most Cubes

We've been nagging them to print a green Blade Splicer for years and the madlads printed one that's yet another crossover piece with a counters theme, you absolutely love to see it Chariot is still the best in class IMO - leaves behind better stuff vs spot removal, easier to cast/splash...

From what I heard it was a decent improvement over Ixalan (an all-time flop as a draft set) but still forgettable compared to most sets

Got some free Invisitokens at the PT and those things are great, would strongly recommend (+ get them from the source, not an imitation from UltraPro etc)

I don't think one is much better/worse overall but I like the play patterns of Goose a lot more - you care more about those stats + those stats are better + you can get life and/or cards but you have to work harder to unlock those vs the immediate and guaranteed output of Krasis

I love lands and silly enchntments but I can't imagine Recon being playable or appealing outside a very specific format with a low power level

Sundering Growth is very cool if you have any reasonable number of token makers

Wildfire Awakener is awesome - not the most powerful Boros card of the year (remember when that was a struggling guild?!) but by far the sweetest IMO

Totally! That was one thing I forgot to touch on - there was a ton of free play/extracurricular Cubing of all kinds and even though there's more Cubes per person than in any other event it was still easy enough to round up enough for a pod if you wanted to draft your own Cube(s)

DAY 2 DRAFT 1 - BUILDAROUND CUBE Ryan Saxe's Buildaround Cube is quite different from the Creative Cube philosophically - instead of using generally good cards that can also fit together, you use these building blocks which have high potential but need the right tools to unlock that. He says in...

CUBECON REPORT (extended podcast version here) After hearing great things about last year's event I was determined to make it to CubeCon this year and the organizers made that call for me by inviting me as a Special Guest for the Wisconsin vs England grudge match. Those unaware of the long...

If you play at a bar or something 'winner gets free drinks next week' might be a good way to structure a reward you were going to pay for anyway without having to shell out for extra packs etc
