This past weekend, I competed at the 2022 NRG Championship and finished in 5th place. I would have loved to win the event, but I was stoked to see my RIW teammate Raja take it down!

Battle Box (and my stack, Danger Room Cube – all Cubes for that matter) are interesting deck building exercises because unlike most other formats the objective is balance that creates a matrix that is the most fun and dynamic play experience for all the players. When we build decks for other formats (Pioneer, Modern, or even Commander in many cases) we typically assess which cards will make our deck more or less powerful and in most cases aim to improve the power level of our decks with our card…

There are times I want to make a note or alteration to my card, but don’t want to ruin the secondary market value.
