This week I'm taking the opportunity to deep-dive on variance in Magic - why flooding is probably your fault, and how thinking about variance before you even start your draft can help.

My second cube of my 2026 cube project (5 cubes in 6 months) is Class of 2013, which attempts to recreate the decks and metagame of Innistrad - Return to Ravnica standard by leveraging some creative high-level constructions.

Last week was all about my weekend as a competitor at CubeCon. This week I'm recapping my experience as a designer, talking about player feedback, play data, and upcoming cube changes.

I was really touched by all the positive feedback I got about GUT over the weekend. Honored to have it featured on stream in the t128, and I had so many people express positive things that matched my design goals. I cannot WAIT to get my hands on the deck pictures.

As my Hobbit experiment draws to a close, it's time to pull the veil off The Data and compare my own card evaluation to the aggregate.

My second post-release Hobbit episode goes into my big-picture format experience without 17lands, including why I've been winning with black, why this set is so good for small games, and why this is the best Menace has ever been.

Time to recap my experience drafting the Hobbit blind - no previews, no discussion, no 17lands data. This episode mainly focuses on the topic of card evaluation.
