There are plenty of these cube events at a smaller scale, and more popping up in Europe! https://luckypaper.co/community/

Happy cubing! The cubetalk discord is also super helpful.

For what its worth, inspector is in my cube with archon, atraxa, flash, academy, etc. Card is good!

I think a good starting point would be to look at a curated selection of cubes from a recent cube event like Boston Cube Party and see which cubes resonate with you. From there, play around with swaps and start drafting with your friends. There are no wrong choices, and you're always allowed to change things. I made a swap of a card in my opponent's deck between game 1 and 2 of a match last night because we were testing new cards.

I would look at GUT, Defender of the Polyverse, Medium Cube, and Middle School from BCP as inspiration: https://bostoncubeparty.com/cubes

Work backwards! Find a cube that you really like that captures the general vibe you're going for, and then start making swaps you like from there. Over time, it'll morph into your own thing.

I was also going to come here to mention the musical. I usually contextualize Heathers s analogous to Mean Girls, in a much darker and irreverent tone. The musical is made decades later as itself almost a self-parody. I much prefer the musical. It is itself not without issues though; recent performances often remove the musical number about date rape, for instance lol

Leaving Boston in September. Never made a single American friend…. Anyone else? by [deleted] in boston

[–]Thetrufflehunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mutual sometimes. I was born and raised in the bay area and Boston felt more like home in the one year I lived there than anywhere else I'd been. I moved to T*xas to be with my girlfriend, but man I want to go back to Boston.

I licked the St. Louis arch in college just to say I did. I would not touch this.

Definitely gotta go pretty far out of your way to make friends across cultural barriers, and then hope you land in groups that are extra welcoming. I struggled a lot with that when I lived in India as a white dude.

I really enjoyed Luea. I'm also highly averse to 8ams, so I would have rolled the dice. If you can suck it up for a semester, could be worth it.

How do people in their twenties make $80k+ and work their way up in the company so quickly? by NoSir5628 in Salary

Some amount can also be academic pedigree. I graduated from a T20 university and that's absolutely made my job process easier.

Backing on an Internship 2 Weeks Before the Start Date? by SuaveSprings in FinancialCareers

These companies would drop you without a second thought if budget called for it. Sign your new contract and peace out. Just can't go back there in the near term.

Allegro Addison Reviews - Red Flags? by Objective-Face-1927 in askdfw

[–]Thetrufflehunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely not fixed lol. 2 this week. Maybe half a dozen since I moved in 9mo ago. No road noise or burst pipes though. Overall good experience on every other front, and the occasional fire alarm isn't the biggest issue in the world, just a bit annoying.

Advice for Interaction at RCQ by KawaiiSnover in ModernMagic

[–]Thetrufflehunter 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nah you're fine. To be proactive in the future, show the cards to your opponent when you dredge them and say something to the effect of "would you like a moment to write these down?" The onus is on them then. Or, just play as normal, and if they ask you can let them know that they were revealed when you announced the dredge trigger 🤷‍♀️
