🥳 Magic the Gathering Cube 😎 Home of the Dutch Annual CubeVitational 🔄 now 15 years running! Amterdam - The Netherlands
Congrats to 2023 Champion Florian Alward for clinching this Q. Just three Qs left in this cycle. Can’t believe I’ve run my 10th #MtGCube #CubeVitational 2026 Qualifier already! Q21/2026 Legacy XL 🥇Florian Alward / Jund Pod 🥈Kasper Zijl / Esper Mid 🥉Steven Numan / BOROS 🏅Max Flentge / monoWhite
Trying out Satoru in #MtGLegacy. Fiddled the Gaze/Breakthrough count. M.Trap in the board over Unmask. Ran 1-3, 2-2 and 3-1. Likely next tweak is down one Ichorid for a second Dread Return. Islets have not delivered as dredge enabler, keeping them to see if I’m not actually missing opportunities :)
A sweet sweet proxy I got at some point, I have a similar one for Mox Diamond :)
Berend Raaphorst steamrolls #MtGCube #CubeVitational Q17/2026! GGs. Congrats :) White Initiative plus Forth has now won 3 in a row… 🥇Berend Raaphorst / Boros Deck Wins 🥈Tijs de Kler / Sheoldred Balance 🥉Ido Levy / Bowmaster Reanimator 🏅Floris de Haan / LabMan’s Chain
Ran back this Dredge 75 at the weekly #MtGLegacy and finished 2-2 again. Won against Lands & Deadguy. Lost to Ruby & Epic Storm. Most games against Storm were awful. Also, lots of Leylines in the room today. Crushed with this near perfect 5 we kept last game against Deadguy! Hand my Gazes well :)
Happily attended our #MtGVintage bi-monthly again! Ran Pitch Dredge with Wasteland and OuaT. Lost to monoBlack (Voidwalker, which I didn’t plan for) and Raker Shops. Then beat Lavinia and Goblins. I like this build, but considering going back to Bridges & more discard, possibly losing countermagic.
#MtGCube #CubeVitational 2026 Vintage Cube Qualifier #15 yesterday was won by Remi de Groot. GGs. Congrats! 🥇Remi de Groot / Mardu Beats 🥈Sebastiaan Jansen / Grixis Beats 🥉Thomas Krone / 4color Green 🏅Ido Levy / a Breach deck
Back at the weekly #MtGLegacy after a two week hiatus. Minor tweaks, including more German swaps. Finished 1-3, all matches going to three games. Making some bad calls. Gaze was good a maximizing the draws I didn’t replace, but was bad at getting action into the ‘yard today. Firestorm best SB card.
Ran hot at yesterday’s #MtGLegacy weekly! Cut the third Breakthrough for that fourth Gaze I wanted. Have had bad results with the setup-Breakthrough, like it more a ‘Looting’ with LED. Lost the finals after a 3-0 (6-0) run. Flayer delivered and Ox over performed, likely swapping out Hogaak for FKZ.
Back to playing #MtGLegacy because I have time and never sold my beloved Dredge pile. First week 2-2 with classic Putrid Imp & Careful Study build. Then switched to Otherworldly Gaze, bigger Dread Return suite and more Poxwalkers, finishing 1-3 and 0-4. Now back to a smaller suite. Want a 4th Gaze?
We’re off to a lightning start this year, half of the Qs already done with the #MtGCube #CubeVitational 2026 just over 8 months away. Q12/2026 Vintage Cube 🥇Thomas Rot / Boros Deck Wins 🥈Berend Raaphorst / Sneak & Helm 🥉Ido Levy / Thassa’s Vault 🏅Thomas Krone / monoGreen Depths
We’re off to a lightning start this year, half of the Qs already done with the #MtGCube #CubeVitational 2026 just over 8 months away. Q11/2026 Legacy Cube 🥇Peter Florijn / Dirty Boros 🥈Ido Levy / Grixis Tapout 🥉Sebastiaan Jansen / Red Deck Wins 🏅Alex Rouw / monoGreen Tokens
I ran Vermin Tempo Reanimator in our #MtGCube #CubeVitational Q7/2026, with a 1-2 record. Had a lot of fun playing this deck, sadly my ability to punt never fails. How I Tidebinded a Thoughtlash activation instead of the incoming Thassa’s Oracle is beyond me…
Another one in the books! #MtGCube #CubeVitational 2026 Qualifier #7 already, we’re off to a quick start :) 🥇Floris de Haan / Naya Lands & Boo 🥈Rene Nieuwenburg / Tinker Vault 🥉Rob Roosingh / Depths Reanimator 🏅Peter Florijn / Lutri Oracle
Qualifiers for #MtGCube #CubeVitational 2026 are in full swing! Q4/2026 🥇Marco Hoonderd / Jeskai Blade 🥈Thomas Krone / Azorius Midrange 🥉Roald Landheer / RDW 🏅Remi de Groot / Mardu Midrange
We have a winner 🏆 Young gun Max Bosma clinches a nailbiter final to win it all and become #MtGCube #CubeVitational 2025 Champion :) GGs. Congrats!
Top8! #MtGCube #CubeVitational 2025 single elimination for The Trophy
IT’S ON!!! #MtGCube #CubeVitational 2025 three drafts / three Cubes 32 cut to 16 cut to Top8 GLHF
It just means I really like (to collect and) play the WCD against each other within their respective metagames :) And indeed, I checked that Cube out!
Happy and proud to reveal Jan van der Vegt’s #MtGCube #CubeVitational 2024 Champion Token! Created by the talented @felix.mtg-cube.de :) This year they’ll be available as door prize for those attending CV 2025, plus a care package going to Jan in the US who sadly can’t defend his title.
Yass! The Vintage bimonthly is again today :) Squeezed a 2-3 playing Bazaar Aggro. Lost to the mirror, Dredge and Lurrus, beat Oath. GGs, is it January yet? metagame 7x Lurrus PO 3x Oath 2x HollowVine 1x Dredge
The LCQ for #CubeVitational 2025 is in the books. Local cEDH favorite Bart Korteweg drafted some Vintage #MtGCube nonsense and doesn’t drop a single game :) GGs. Congrats! 🥇Bart Korteweg / Time Breach 🥈Ido Levy / Otter Initiative 🥉Friso Schous / Comet & Boo 🏅Marco Hoonderd / Thassa Painter
That’s a wrap! Thanks for another great getaway :) Sad I wasn’t able to 6-0 the Vintage portion, while going 2-8 on the other Cubes.
Draft 6 (day 3) Thomas’ Vintage #MtGCube 2-1 Boros Big Game Couldn’t clinch the 🏆 in an extremely fun and close game 3 against Esper Painter Control.
Draft 5 Arjan’s Legacy #MtGCube 1-2 monoWhite Missequenced in the final bubble match and couldn’t stop my opponent’s Redcap Persist Combo.
Draft 4 Thomas’ One Drop #MtGCube 0-3 Rakdos Harvest Drafted poorly, played even worse. It’s been a while since we ran 1MV, aptly described tonight a Cube of microtransactions.
