Dear Origin of Metalbending, 

<3

Yesterday I wrote to Professor of Symbology how much I love her. I’ve built my Hanjo Masters #5 cube back in 2022 as an honour to her. One of the many things I love about that cube is the Lesson – Learn mechanic. That during the draft you actively have to draft Lesson cards for your sideboard you can find with Learn. It adds so much more depth to the draft that I absolutely love. 

The original Lessons were quite bad. Which was perfectly fine, because they were a bonus. But you almost never saw a Lesson actually making the maindeck, so it was only additional depth during the draft but not during deck construction. That was until you, Origin of Metalbending, were released into the world on the 21st of November 2025 together with all your Lesson friends. 

The thing that makes you special is the way you slot perfectly into this cube. There is an enchantment theme in the cube and having enchantment removal that is flexible is an essential part of the cube. But you are also important for the enchantress theme itself, because they have to be able to protect their payoff creatures like Satyr Enchanter. Next in line are the multiple voltron strategies in the cube: white based Heroic and green based Mutate. Both need protection for their ‘build your own Baneslayer‘, and you provide just that. 

The most amazing thing you offer this cube is the depth of your flexibility, in your play patterns, during the draft and most importantly, during deck building. In 2 weeks I hopefully get to play you in the top 4 of the cube invitational I’m organising. I’m just not sure if you will be in the maindeck or in the sideboard. And I love to find out. 

With love, 

Hanjo
