Oh my gosh. I've been making additions, waiting for the end of 2024, more on that later, and Foundations will require a whole update itself. For now, here are my planned updates from 2024.

Danny and I took 2024 off from cube updates. After Hasboro fired many WOTC employees, corporately motivated despite the disproportionate success of MTG for Hasboro, we decided to remove ourselves from hyping, buying, and updating cubes with new cards. This process ultimately made us realize that the corporate hype cycle outpaces our desired cube update cycle. From my perspective, cubes didn't get enough reps to justify changes when I updated every set and the updates weren't always high-level design inclusions. I thought a card would work and plopped it in. I feel like I've learned that giving some cards time to see which have lasting appeal in vibes based formats like this one is a good curation technique. So yeah, here are some changes:

Adding moxen was "fun!" Here is a return to unpowered with some shake ups:

OATH OF DRUIDS - Fun Vintage gameplay that should fit into cheaty archetypes and match the pace/vibe of the format

MISHRA'S WORKSHOP - This card is notably staying in the cube after the power boost.

I threw in support for artifact decks to see how some new cards might encourage different ways to build artifact focused decks. I think Cyberman Patrol is very cool "evasion" for the robot deck.

I added some "wheel-able" merfolk cards. My fear is how narrow these cards are, Deeproot Pilgrimage and Silvergill Adept

Grapeshot was not prominently used in storm decks so we're trying Price of Progress.

New Rule: If you draft The Mightstone and Weakstone then you are offered a version of Urza, Lord Protector to add to your deck at the end of the draft.
