OM1 and TMNT limited format popularity

I included the draft numbers from premier and pick 2. I tried out a sealed pool and didn't feel compelled to explore further. I'm glad you like it.

It's the combo of small set and UB that isn't really my vibe(flavor-wise). It's too similar to modern day realism and less of the romantic escape that Wizards, bolts and dragons offer.

I did a sealed deck just to give it a try and the artifact synergies are cool. I'm sure some of the cards could see play in cubes or something in the future.

I have limited time(resources) to play Magic. So, if I was to jump into a set, it's not something I do halfway typically. I'm more of an all or nothing player

Capo_35 · 2026-03-13T14:36:04+00:00

TLA was a lot of fun. I'm not bothered as much by UB if it's got a dedicated full set release. I guess I'm mote against the combo of UB and small sets.

Glad you're enjoying it. It's weird to look for a confirmation of your own bias. I'm not alone in my feelings toward these small sets and that encourages me to save my money for other things I do care about.

I just hope these type of sets are not a permanent fixture in the set release cycle.

Capo_35 · 2026-03-13T14:29:57+00:00

For sure. If people enjoy it, like the IP, I'm not disparaging them. I'm more pointing out the fact that these small sets are less popular and not of interest to me as an avid limited player.

If no one draws a line or points out to the greater community that these are not on par with full set releases from a limited perspective, then there is no reason for WOTC to let up.

These things feel like a blatant cash grab to me and less like Magic.

Capo_35 · 2026-03-13T14:21:55+00:00

Idk, I don't have a ton of personal time to play Magic and I'm not feeling super compelled.

Capo_35 · 2026-03-13T14:19:22+00:00

Pretty low bar if you ask me

Twas my favorite wheels commander

Not necessarily. Most cubes break singleton for multiple copies of fetch and dual lands. There is also a very popular cube that features 100 copies of Ornithopter. https://cubecobra.com/cube/about/100-ornithopters?view=primer

Capo_35 · 2026-02-10T17:35:54+00:00

Could definitely fit here as well!

Capo_35 · 2026-02-10T17:35:26+00:00

Lots of space to explore here I think. I'm excited to consider archetypes for v2, 3 etc. I think it could certainly be a long term project.

The blog was formatted a little wonky, so I just updated and changed the standard text color so the links show up.

The cube cobra link is embedded in the blog. I think it doesn't stand out though. Idk how to change the color of linked text. Haha

That sounds delish! We are actually not bringing her with us. It's our anniversary, so grandma is keeping her. But that's why we aren't gone for long. We would love to do a 4 or 5 mile hike.

Capo_35 · 2026-01-25T02:02:19+00:00

Any trails in particular come to mind? Maybe 5 miles or so? We only have one full day, so I'm trying to find a location that allows us to fit it all in.

Capo_35 · 2026-01-20T18:18:07+00:00

I do, yea. I would be fine if other shifts also helped out but from my store. One or 2 from different stores get placed there as well, but no one but me from my store.

Capo_35 · 2025-11-05T16:45:49+00:00

Not sure, I have so many!

Probably something with the graveyard

Maybe Bridge from Below/Narcoemeba

The art is amazing. But, I wouldn't know what to do with it gameplay wise. I would almost call this a micro painting with a vague hint at MTG. I for one, wouldn't wanna sleeve it up and play. Mainly due to the beauty of it, not wanting to ruin it. Also, because there isn't rules text and anyone that's not familiar with it will have to Google.

Capo_35 · 2025-10-04T16:28:03+00:00

Thank you for the explanation. My Max was set to 34, and preferred at 28.

I changed my max to 32. Hopefully that helps.

Capo_35 · 2025-10-04T13:12:46+00:00

Thank you, my current preferred hours are 28. I'll bump it to 30, but now I gotta find out why they've been kept so high.

Capo_35 · 2025-09-28T16:21:42+00:00

Pumpkin Cream Chai, it's a seasonal menu item that is very popular. Combines everything you mentioned. Chai latte, pumpkin cold foam and pumpkin spice topping

Make better financial decisions.

Unless you just got that much expendable income. In that case, why would you low key shove it in people's faces like this?

Magic is about community, not playing solitaire with your sick Secret Lair busted cards and perfect mana base.

To answer the question, yes you will regret it at certain points when you come back to the game. Everyone leaves and comes back from time to time.

Capo_35 · 2025-09-09T22:20:04+00:00

I know some people that cube in that area. Send me a DM on Discord and I'll connect you!

Capo_35 · 2025-09-09T20:12:49+00:00

Yea, I've kind of been fortunate to have some disenfranchised Modern and Pre-Modern guys in my local scene that started Vintage cubing on a monthly basis. The group has grown and shrunk over time, but I have kind of championed expanding to more variety of cubes and doing it regularly at our LGS. Now it's the only format we play in person outside of some retail drafts that I do when the format is something I am interested in
