Dear Emergent Sequence, 

<3

On the 8th of January 2022 I fell in love with you. On that day I’ve added you to my Hanjo Masters #2 Cube. It is one of my many Cubes that try to give the experience of drafting a Modern Masters set. Higher power level than retail limited, lower power level than your average Cube, and multiple copies of the lower rarity cards. I love those Masters Cubes I make. 

People who organise local Cube nights know, you don’t always have 8 people. Which is perfectly fine, drafting with 6, 4 or even 2 can be just as much fun. But my Masters Cubes are just not as much fun with 4 drafters than they are with 8. I have designed multiple Cubes that are tailored for either 4 or 6 and they just work better in those cases. And even when we are with 8, not everyone is always feeling a Masters Cube. But when the group does, I am happy. And afterwards so are the other drafters. I always get reactions like ‘I didn’t expect this Cube to be this much fun’ or ‘I always forget how much I love your Masters Cubes’. It always keeps me motivated to keep working on all 6 of my Masters Cubes. 

In my Hanjo Masters #2 there is a Landfall theme and a Domain theme. I really needed Rampant Growth and Harrow type effects in this Cube to accommodate those strategies. But when I found you, you made my heart jump. Because there is also a +1/+1 counter theme in this cube, and you are perfect for all three. The great thing is that the Landfall deck can be really aggressive and having a card like you, that is both a creature and a Landfall trigger, is amazing in that Cube. I always love it so much when you find a little gem that no one else cares about that just fits perfectly in one of your Cubes. Those are the best moments as a Cube designer. And I love you for giving me one of those moments. 

With love, 

Hanjo
