(Also, we'll watch some Futurama together afterwards.) Fry and his anchovies - that'll be me, sharing the draft format I love with the people I like.

A snapshot-in-time cube that will never evolve. What I was drawn to most was simply permanently capturing a Limited environment that I grew up with, one that I would enjoy playing and sharing with old friends & new friends alike for the rest of my life. And if I'm going to design and own something personally, assembling the traditional cube of my own feeble non-riff on Magic's greatest hits didn't sound fun. I found that the nuance and balance of regular Limited environments were my preferred experience. My first dozen cube drafts were fun, but the novelty wore off really quickly. In my heyday, before cubes were ubiquitous, the idea of cubes and the downwind glory I had heard about 'broken draft' and CMU's cube sounded like the stuff of legends. I would have expected that I'd love cubes. Limited has always and will always be better than Constructed, after all. (I briefly considered moving in on a few 'Premodern' decks - these example decks are exactly my everythingВ - but the card prices were far too off-putting, not to mention regret-inducing on those past collection sales). Even with this spark, I'm not at all interested in starting to maintain an active collection again, and I have no interest in Eternal formats.

The collection has long since been iteratively sold down to zero. I first started playing Magic around Exodus and then stopped keeping a collection after the exodus of Mirrodin. I don't see old Magic friends often, but it's always been a little sad not having any cards to play with. I should own some physical Magic cards to play with The primary audience is either my fellow Magic dinosaurs or my future grandchildren who will be forced to play this cube with me. This is the story of how I came to own Magic cards again after 15 years, a design guide from a first-time cube builder, and a memoir of all of my nostalgia and stories around Invasion Block cards during the coming-of-age of Team TOGIT & its youngest member.
