Monday, November 1st – Occasionally, even the most avid cube drafter will look for a change from the bread & butter draft, whether it’s 8-man or Winston. When the mood strikes, I like to build decks from Sealed pools rather than drafting.
Monday, October 18th – Welcome to Art Fight: Part Red! If you weren’t here a couple weeks ago, here is the first installment, which covers white, blue, and black cards in the cube. Thea goes over your favorite cube cards – which should you run?
Monday, October 11th – Thea Steel got married yesterday! (Congratulations!!) And she celebrated by playing Magic with some old friends, who have been evolving their own cube starting with Thea’s current list.
Monday, October 4th – Recently, Wizards has been printing about four planeswalkers per year. They don’t cleanly replace other spells in the cube, so how do you include them without producing a fundamental shift in how your cube plays?
Monday, September 27th – There are tons of strong, high-end cards but only so much room for them without destroying your curve. I’m going to relate how I’ve made those decisions for my cube, discuss some popular choices, and talk about criteria to apply when evaluating new cards.
Monday, September 20th – Thea looks at the most important part of Cube building – artistic coolness! Which versions of her favorite cards do you prefer?
Tuesday, September 14th – With Scars being spoiled, it’s never too early to start debating what new cards will make the cut in your Cube.

Friday, August 27th – Hi! My name is Thea. I’ll be writing about the Cube, a format where you take the most powerful cards ever printed, and treat them as a set for Limited play.
