Yessss this is exactly what I wanted to see!
Ever wondered which words you only know because of Magic: The Gathering?
"Merfolk" appears 8.4 million times more often in Magic card titles than in everyday English! "Samite", "archfiend" and "invoker" are equally MTG-specific vocab!

I’m also donating a 90 minute video call with the winner to talk about what I learned from this event, the buyer’s goals for the cube, and how I would tweak the list with both in mind.

Now that Obscura is over and the Telemetry box as been seen… I can share some details.
Much of my art draws huge inspiration from Calvin & Hobbes, specifically the Spaceman Spiff stories.
So I just leaned into those environments:

I am buzzing with excitement this morning. We're streaming the most interesting and experimental cube event ever run, Cube for a Cause: Obscura. The 17 cubes on offer were all designed in secret, specifically for this event, and none of the ~128 players have any idea what cards they contain.
