I haven’t updated this in a long time. My bad; writing on a real deadline and having to produce 2000+ words on one topic every week is more draining than I thought it would be. We’ll see what happens here in the near future. I don’t plan on abandoning this, but I probably will not do serious strategy writing here anymore. This site has served its purpose for me since it got Craig to cold e-mail me, so life is good. Of course, the cube information will stay here.
The Hollywood qualifier schedule is up. Who wants to win a ticket?
My schedule:
- 1/5: Garden City, Michigan
- 1/12: Cleveland, Ohio
- 1/26: Louisville, Kentucky
- 2/9: Columbus, Ohio
- 2/16: Indianapolis, Indiana
- 2/23: Vancouver, Canada
- 3/1: Nashville, Tennessee
- 3/15: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
- 3/22: Indianapolis, Indiana
- 3/29: Columbus, Ohio
How bad do you want it? This season is probably the best opportunity any American player will have to go to their first pro tour that will happen for a while because of how many qualifiers there are. If you are willing to drive, you may even be able to hit one almost every weekend like this. Go make it happen. I’ll see you in Hollywood.
I’m about to leave for Worlds. I don’t know what I’ll be doing there exactly yet, but stop by and say hello if you want to chat and hopefully I’ll see you Saturday night.
Travel safe and good luck to everyone who is attending.
Evan Erwin and I will be hosting open cube drafts beginning at six o’clock PM on Saturday evening at the Magic: The Gathering World Championships this weekend. We love cube drafting, and we also know that making a cube isn’t the easiest thing in the world so not everyone has had the opportunity to try it. I’ve played everywhere from kitchen tables to Pro Tours, and nothing else I have ever done in Magic has been nearly as much fun as the cube. If you’ve never cubed before, you owe it to yourself to cone find us and get in a draft.
Evan’s cube can support eight players at a time, and mine can support sixteen. Of course, the two of us can only support twenty-four total players and that’s not all that many. This is where all you other cube owners out there come in! We want to share the joy of cubing with as many people as possible, so we need your help. If you have a cube and you’ll be at worlds, we invite you to find us and host drafts with your own cube. We know of at least one cube other than ours that will be present, and we are hoping for even more.

My cube list
Wizards is setting aside table space for this event, but we don’t know where that will be at this moment. There will be a public announcement at Worlds around six o’clock about where we are located, so listen for that and come find us. Feel free to contact Evan or me on the forums with any questions; my username is TomLaPille and Evan’s is misterorange. Listen for the announcement onsite, and together we’ll all show the world how awesome cube drafting is.
