Tonight was peak vintage cube when as a farewell to the format on Arena I did a call with my bestie to draft and play together our last one. We had to leave it at 3-0 but it was absurd fun. @lsv.bsky.social would be proud.

I decided to write up some of my thoughts on arena powered cube / vintagecube (i'm around top 200 mythic at the moment, but I've played this since ~2012 when it was introduced to MTGO):

@neo-mtg.bsky.social listened to your interview with @sampratt.bsky.social wondering if you have your cube on @cubecobra.com ?

@mtgarena.com missed opportunity to put unhinged basics in the shop with the release of powered cube. One of the best parts of vintage cube is getting to use the best basics

I'm OK with using some gold on bo3 but I'm afraid I won't be gambling with my gems. Not worth it.

Would totally reconsider if 2-1 gives your entry back like in MTGO.
Oof, 2-1 doesn't give your entry fee back? Hope Arena revisits this going forward

I had a blast booster tutoring and cometing it up last night but I imagine getting ranched by comet flips for all your gems is a rough experience

The entry fee for the Arena Powered Cube Draft / Vintage Draft really sucks. It should not cost the same as a regular premier draft.

It's a phantom draft and the prize packs are random packs from all across Arena.

I do not think you can charge £10 a phantom draft, on a digital card game platform with a closed economy that has NO WAY of withdrawing value.

This price is absolutely INSANE.

Cube deserves better than this.

All that, and more in today's video.

Everyone talks about John Carpenter movies during the month of Halloween but I almost never anyone talking about PRINCE OF DARKNESS -- one of my all time faves.

I don't know or care. Urza's Saga Time Drain was my first and only love to this day.

Yes.
Is Pioneer essentially a dead Magic format at this point?
