<3
I am sorry. I am ashamed to admit that I didn’t immediately recognize you. With a couple of friends we play this game where we send each other zoomed in pieces of art of Magic cards and the others have to guess the card. And when you guess wrong, you get the same art but zoomed out a tiny bit. I didn’t recognise you with the first zoom. I needed it a bit zoomed out. I apologise, I am so terribly sorry, you deserve so much more from me.
You were released into the world on October 6 2006, when I was 17 years old. And you and me, we were inseparable. We definitely made the most of our time together in Standard. But 2007 was a very special time for us together: Block Constructed. We played every Block Constructed tournament we could together and I loved every moment of it. There was no better feeling of casting you end of turn, finding the piece I needed to survive only to flash you back on a later turn to get a fresh new copy of you. I still dream off the play patterns you offered me back in 2007.
I am now a retired constructed player. I only play cube. And time has caught up with you. In every cube with a decent enough power level there is no place for you anymore. And this makes me so sad. At the time of writing this I own 19 unique cubes, and you featured in none of them. And I want to apologise for that, after all the joy you gave me, you deserve so much more from me than that. I have forgotten about you my old love, but now I have found you again. Yesterday in my love letter for Changeling Outcast I wrote that maybe, just maybe I should build a cube where he can shine as a Ninja. Well let me tell you this:
I am going to build a new cube, and you, you are going to be the star of that cube.
With love,
Hanjo
