My team won the Lotus Lounge Team Draft League. I spent some time on ranking all the cards in the cube. Here’s the top 50. Top 100 in comments. The top 100 doesn’t match my beliefs perfectly due to some lumping of cards. Might write an article.

The finals of the Lotus 🪷 Lounge Cube League are tomorrow! I’ll be battling, but @Marshall_LR, @abaeckst, and @Trollascetic will be covering the action 💥
Coverage goes live at 6pm PST tomorrow on my Twitch channel - huge thanks to @UltimateGuard for sponsoring the league!
I had the opportunity to play the new arena cube early and decided to write a bit about the differences from normal powered cube.

I wrote a guide on everything you need to know about High Tide in Pauper, the best deck in the format (in my opinion). It’s 100% free, and I guarantee it competes with any paid guide out there.

Not here to debate the ethics of Marcio’s play. But fuck Marcio. If you think he should still be allowed to play, you either don’t know his history or you’re coping. Plenty of your favorite content creators still partner with him to chase clout.

Wrote an article on GP Denver and 17Lands. Been drafting a ton now that the format’s back on Magic Online, and it’s made me think hard about how we use 17L — a topic I’ve been quietly passionate about.
Quick read, left room for debate.

I wrote a top 100 cube tier list with a small explanation on each card similar to a traditional set review. Think I’ll try writing more about cube.

I also wrote a very small article last week on how to exploit in team drafts.

Scooped the finals of the gencon secret lair. Worked with a great team and some carry over from the mocs server. Felt really prepared and loved working on legacy. Formats fun if you’re ok with 1 deck. Very happy right now.
@CanMack1 @AndyWilson22 @Stifle421 @JUJUBEAN__2004 🤝
Pt MH3 draft. There were some trades at the end so some people may be much lower than they were drafted.
Highly recommend watching these :)
Really excited to announce that I'm launching my Youtube channel today! I will primarily
focus on Vintage cube draft and other limited formats. Videos will be posted daily and 5 are
already up on the channel! Check it out at youtube.com/@haumph
Won one tonight. 1st deck should have splicer over frantic. 2nd deck I'm unsure if I built it right. Sideboarded into animate dead and duress twice vs reanimator.
Lost in the finals in g3 to some very unlucky draw steps but some cool decks. As Tim calls it, Tideless Tide. Shoulda started sower over Sail in deck #2. These events have been sweet.

Won my first 64-man, these events are sick. Also got to play against the best player in the tournament in the finals @terribadmtg
@lsv approved 2nd deck? Maybe the best deck I've ever had
