On struggle, progress, and learning to trust the process. My relationship with cube has changed significantly as I’ve gotten better at drafting. Not better to the point where I sit down and expect to win every pod, but better in a way that has fundamentally changed how much I enjoy the format and the game…

Now seemed good to revisit how I built my Tempest cube A few weeks ago, friends got together to draft an Invasion cube. To get into it and prepare, I reread Mike Stein’s blog on how he built his cube and why, and I found it so enjoyable and valuable, even though I’d already read…

Lessons from surfing, cube hosting, and the small acts of courage that build communities. Before I returned to turning cardboard sideways, I was learning a lot from other hobbies that would transfer perfectly to my future cube curation habit (obsession). When I moved to Los Angeles in 2010, the first thing I did was drive…

A term for the woody nightshade, an American climbing plant that bears clusters of bright orange pods…or a widely used term that describes a complex emotion of simultaneous happiness and sadness. Simultaneous emotion hits the feels of YetiCon squarely on the head. Having so much fun, but knowing it will all come…

My path to lichdom has been a long and winding one. I’d been in search of an exciting, casual deck that creates fun games for both players regardless of the outcome. I surveyed people informally on discord on what were their favorite ways to lose a game. Games are always more fun when you’re winning,…

I turned 40 this year, and thought it would be fun to review and take stock of my Magic journey. Some players have stated a collecting goal of owning all 40 dual lands by the time they turn 40. I don’t have 40 duals. I don’t intend to. I have 29 (30 total since I…
