    General Quilting: a two-player draft format

    We've experimented with different iterations of the quilt, and are still experimenting. The reason we ended at 32 of 64 is that only drafting half the board makes it feasible to deny your opponent key cards by simply not drafting in one area of the board. If you start choosing much more than...

    Nathan's Cube

    Wow, blasting station looks great, but how is it pinging for that much damage? Can't it only do one point a turn+number of creatures cast that turn?

    General (theory) playgroups and the cube teleology and experience

    Most of my cubing is with only two people, usually late at night after my kids are asleep. I've been very fortunate to have two different dedicated cube partners, first in Philly and now in the Bay Area. It's great how little organization is required--I send a text after dinner, and they're...

    General Say hello!

    (Crossposted from the old Google Groups) Hi, I'm Tom, an avid boardgamer and sporadic Magic player from the SF Bay Area who stumbled into cube about three years ago. It has since taken over my gaming life. My first cube was built from a box of draft castoffs I bought off craigslist, and...
