I made time this past weekend to play in an Arena Championship Qualifier. I managed to wiggle my way into day two with a 7-2 record, and on day two, I went undefeated to lock up an invite to the Arena Champs.

Arena Power Cube is Here
It's no secret that my favorite way to play Magic has always been Limited. Cube, specifically powered Cube, mixes the best of both worlds—Limited Magic, but Constructed power level.
