people play the Gameboy version (casually) competitively via the Switch! I have seen it in some discords!

I have fallen into both retro and contemporary pokemon tcg gameplay due to an offhanded comment by my partner and a purchase of some precon decks! :wagg: From the League Battle Deck [Origin Forme Palkia VSTAR] and a few games, I found a recent event where a Palkia deck was competitive and...

Note: I need to proofread this some more... will come back to clean up the language and thoughts (bed time for now)! So, I played some over the summer, and midrange soup seemed to be the most powerful approach. From memory: Adversary drafted Blue-Black in the beginning, but opened up his mana...

The new mtgo name-a-card interface tripped me up... but adversary played like a gentleman until the Meddling Mage was dead. Grid drafting and playing is so much fun :)))) When I won, things were mostly down to the wire.

Grid Draft 17! https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/invi_limelight_rev_grid?view=spoiler With added Izzet/Orzhov multicolor support and mana denial. Pack 1 Pack 2 Pack 3 Pack 4 Pack 5 Pack 6 Pack 7 Pack 8 Pack 9 Pack 10 Pack 11 Pack 12 Pack 13 Pack 14 Pack 15 Pack 16 Red-black seemed to win more...

Long time, no chat, Nemo! I am interested rebooting MTG with cards that have been designed as well! My fiddling was as such: https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/1o1uj . I was originally looking to make Serra Angel a viable wincon and not get into DFCs/planeswalkers/other card types; there was no...

Dom, this is awesome. Thanks for taking the time to catalog and share the experience! Work and health permitting, I am planning to CubeCon next year. Was there a good opportunity to play outside of the "event" for those of us that are washed-up casuals (or should attendees plan on playing the...

I played Invitational Limelight over the summer and didn't care for the feel of the games: it played much like midrange soup without deck identity. I'm trying a higher power package (aiming for smaller resource games) with Garfield's favorite play pattern: land destruction! This update will also...

I am interested in seeing how any grid playtesting goes! It will be interesting to see how the different formats (grid v sealed v small pack booster draft) play.

Fun article! I assume this article introduce me to the idea of drafting with cards I owned (as I drafted from a box remnants after tearing apart my 5-color decks in 2003)...

Pretty enamored, but not at my peak. I like thinking about playing (and still look at spoilers / cubes / Canadian highlander), but I am not playing much- maybe 8 hours a month. I deleted Arena as it wasn't sparking joy and have no friends that I am playing with locally. I am part of a discord...

Invitational Nongreen Grid Draft #17 Pack 1 Pack 2 Pack 3 Pack 4 Pack 5 Pack 6 Pack 7 Pack 8 Pack 9 Pack 10 Pack 11 Pack 12 Pack 13 Pack 14 Pack 15 Pack 16

An acquaintance constructed a preliminary 5-color, 180 card cube to 1v1 grid draft (in the above packs)! Thank you to our lords and saviours at the 'Lab and the wizardry that is R-Studio for giving me this opportunity. As I've only been working with less than 5-color card populations, I had no...

Grid Drafting - 5c https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/hhay Pack 1 Pack 2 Pack 3 Pack 4 Pack 5 Pack 6 Pack 7 Pack 8 Pack 9 Pack 10 Pack 11 Pack 12 Pack 13 Pack 14 Pack 15 Pack 16 Pack 17 Pack 18

Villain drafted only 10 creatures in their colors, leading to some awkward games. Games where they (green-black) stabilized against me (red-white), the red-based burn that did damage to players often made short work of them. I did draft Astral Drift and enjoyed it working as intended. There were...

Grid Drafting - Draft 33! After appx. a year of waiting, the Astral Drift bug has been resolved! Trying a large constricting-the-power-band update that includes an increase to 180 cards and more combat-step interactions. (The Sythis, Harvest's Hand is actually Satyr Enchanter - did a bad job...

Draft 16! - hoping to healthily support the return of Entomb! Pack 1 Pack 2 Pack 3 Pack 4 Pack 5 Pack 6 Pack 7 Pack 8 Pack 9 Pack 10 Pack 11 Pack 12 Pack 13 Pack 14 Pack 15 Pack 16

tri-color lands!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I found the "The Stranger Thing" MTG universe implementation interesting: set in Innistrad & tie-in to stranger things cards through collectors number!
