If anybody has enjoyed Cube in the past and wants to help me give it a facelift, I’m missing the following counts of holo 30th anniversary energy! Can pickup at Atlanta or arrange a handoff at Vegas. 11 Grass 26 Fire 15 Water 13 Lightning 11 Psychic 16 Fighting 25 Dark 29 Metal

THE DRAGA-CULT TAKES DOWN CLARKSVILLE 🥳 we were 18-5-1 in Swiss and only lost to each other in top cut, now that’s a success. I also can declare that I was fully on max (optimal grey border) prize pack Dragapult 🤩 shoutouts to the pads I ordered and @dylancmcclung for the rosa

Matchups, I could have ID’d round 6 but I knew my resistance was good (my r2 and 3 opponents ID’d at table 1 to get to 5-0-1 and 4-1-1) so I played for seeding.

Decent finish deserved bling update
9-4-1 at Louisville with mostly Prize Pack Dragapult (did not pull enough pads or a single Rosa 😭) I threw my set vs Honchkrow which stunk, but otherwise felt good about my play. Autumn came and had a lot of fun also, so I’d call the weekend a success. 91CP now for Ace Trainer

Had a blast being a guest on the ABS podcast! We played some mini games, chatted about cube, glc, and retro, and also covered my Trivia event from NAIC! Looking for a fun chat about all things Pokemon, you should check out our episode (and the other ones!)

The goal for #ZanderCustomCube is not to make a ton of complicated cards, but I thought this idea was too funny not to use.

note the custom cube is not going to have ex or V Pokemon, so having that option on the attack is 100% just to troll you.

Not saying I am going to make either, but if I was going to make one, if I was going to make a super in depth piece of media about the Council Cube (how I started it, how it grew over time, philosophies of this cube specifically) how would you rather engage with it

I simplified the beginning in a way that makes it less a burden, obviously still not cheatproof, but it’s #ZanderCustomCube so I don’t care. Also made Ethereal Seeker which is definitely worse than VS Seeker since it may cause you to have to predict what you need, but that’s fun!
I was considering more ideas from STS and thought of this unique take on Pokemon Catcher. I’m aware Pokemon would never make this card in paper, but let’s say they would. I’m putting it in #ZanderCustomCube, but how bad/good/busted would you say it is?

Ben legit just out of the kindness of his heart is giving y’all the FREE guide for the deck he’s grinded away exclusively at for half a year now. If you intend on playing Hydrapple or going against it, this is a worthy read for you.
Well here it is, my BFA guide! I wanted to get this out sooner, so I appreciate your patience. This guide delves into deck building decisions, general gameplay, and matchup discussion! This will be a free resource that I will continue to update! docs.google.com/document/d/1…

Defect and Regent inspired cards from #ZanderCustomCube. I know what I want the Necrobinder's card to do, I have just not made it yet. I may go back and give the Chesnaught (Ironclad) an additional attack because I like reflecting more of the characters' kits in their cards.

Two Fighting stage 2’s and prevos for #ZanderCustomCube. I wanted to do Emboar over Blaziken with Fighting-Inferno Fandango but there wasn’t great art to use. Ursaluna is a combo of its other cards, which the goal isn’t making everything new, it’s making a unique draft format.

Nikhil is a great host and asked a bunch of great questions about cube! We truly could have went for a few more hours about cube, whatever your familiarity is to cube, this podcast is a great deep dive!
My favorite episodes from the Lake of Rage are the ones that focus on the people and their stories. So, I decided to bring that back! Nikhil Knows a Guy is a series where I chew the fat with friends and community members! Episode 1 is on the Council Cube with @ZanderBennett

i don’t care if it’s performative, if it is, I’m choosing to believe it is not, and i’ve got between now and dancing with the stars tonight to stop crying which should be enough time.
Drew: "Yo Melody, what's up? I just won the Veto. Just made it to Final 3. I'm sorry I couldn't do it a week earlier. I wish you were still here and now I'm sitting with a decision that I have to pick between Devens and Dee, two of your favorite people. I know what you want me to do...I just don't know if I can do it...Anyways...I guess I made it to Finale night. I'll see you around." #BB28 #BBBitez
