Dear Mindslaver,

<3

You are in one of my cubes, my 2009 power cube. A cube capturing the days when I started playing cube, with 10 Fetches and Goblin Guide but without Jace, the Mind Sculptor. You are great in that cube, but it is not my favourite cube to play with you. That is in my dear friend Frank his Artifact Cube, because in that cube I get to combine you with Grand Architect. 

I learned to play Magic from my brother. We used to play FNM together in 2003, but where he found other interests I kept playing Magic. In 2011 he joined me on a trip to memory lane and we played a FNM together with me at our old local game store. I played Sun Titan decks in Standard that season, I gave him this sweet Grand Architect brew because it played you, Mindslaver. He used to play Tooth and Nail back in 2003 together with you and always loved you. In the finals of that FNM we met, both undefeated at 3-0, and I don’t think I ever saw him enjoy magic more than on that night. In the deciding game 3, he used a Tumble Magnet to tap down my Sun Titan, had a Phantasmal Image to copy my Sun Titan, returning a Buried Ruin to recur you, Mindslaver, and with the help of Grand Architect he could play you. Such an insane loop, such a cool line but most of all such an amazing memory. 

So every time we draft Frank his Artifact Cube it is a trip down memory lane for me, seeing you together with your architect. And I love those memories of you. 

With love

Hawnjo
