Wasn’t allowed to get a signed basic at C4AC in creatureless. Depends on judge

Ugh and I’m wearing a jersey with 3-0 on it. This too much pressure

Cube Cobra Overview: Choose Your Own Adventure (CYOA) Players should get lost in draft and end up with unfocused decks with overlapping synergies. ## No Forests in the Box There are no forests in the basic land box and only a few lands that produce gree...

Debuting this #C4AC is CYOA by @johnclara.bsky.social - a personal favorite of mine from our group!

This cube is designed to have overlapping networks of synergies at a limited power level.
Green is close to excluded, but don’t sleep on it!

Favorite deck is probably this one:
2-1 throne of the grim captain/merfolk/uro in a no-forest cube.

Throne flipped multiple times & uro landed as well

Ran a full pod of Choose Your Own Adventure cube for the first time tonight!

Followed Matt Grenier’s synergy network method starting from Burning Vengeance

Two best performing decks (3-0 & 3-1) both used the card in different ways

To be clear: I was super hyped for the deck after drafting + match 1. After match 2 got less happy with doing the thing/ready to go home

The vibes weren’t right for a prison deck in this draft. Match 2 against a player trying to play fair magic felt wrong/mean. Maybe the fact that there were NO stakes made it feel even worse? Can’t tell.

Definitely makes me reevaluate removal engines in my cubes when I’m playing with a wide audience

Freeplay Drafted the Oldest School

Abused Umbilicus

Works with drop of honey (stack the triggers to never lose the honey)

Serrated arrows/scrivener + terror are other removal engine

Lost to two Nicol bolas (via reanimate) attacks in game 3 of match 1.

Match 2, I got the lock early but felt mean

Cube Idea:

Leviathan Twobert - players start with a tapped leviathan in play

Decks can either have clunky ways to untap it, get a bunch of islands, or synergies with a large creature in play.

Staff of the storyteller felt a little strong

Ran two Winston’s of free jazz

First draft (there was the FTK saga in instead of the javalenier. The ftk saga felt strong)
