Over the past few years, MTGSalvation has become very much my home and most of that is due to the community like the cube community. It has been an honor and a privilege to talk magic and cube with you all. On behalf of the staff past and present thank you all so much for helping us create this wonderful communtiy.
But Im not just getting sappy in this post,
As Feyd mentioned in the article, we are working on a new home for anyone that wishes to follow us on that journey. It is still very much a work in progress, but our goal is to make our new home even more of a community site than what we have now. Beyond that, I can't say much just yet, but as we get closer I'll keep everyone informed in this thread.
If you have any questions or better yet, have any input on things you would like to see then please feel free to post in this thread and we will respond to the best of our abilities.
Huge probz for immediately taking action and looking to create a new home for the community. I hope it will be more than just a shadow of its former self.
sad to see MTGS go, but i hope the MTGS cube community can reconvene around a new website/forum to keep the conversation and content going. looking forward to seeing everyone there!
Well, that's kinda depressing. I loved having just one place to go for cube content, spoilers, EDH deck stuff, etc. It's just been a great resource and community.
That said, I want to thank the creators and all the other people who worked so hard to make this site what it is. I hope the cube community can reconvene elsewhere.
Come to RiptideLab! They're up and running with actual, like, good cube theory. You don't get this stuff on Reddit :laugh2:!
A quick look over there for the first time in a few years. Yikes. They actively don't want us. Reddit or a new forum it is.

Riptide emissary speaking here, this is not true! We're in need of some fresh blood, and though our philosophies may be different, we think that a merger of our communities could make for a Renaissance in mainstream cubing. Jason Waddell, who runs the site, even made a new subforum for power-max cube design. We're prepping to give any MTGS refugees a warm welcome.

Yeah there's exactly one guy who doesn't seem to want us and he's new to the forums anyway, there's a good chance he won't even stick around. It's wayyyy better than reddit.
This is not the place to be discussing other sites. Recruiting for other sites is considered solicitation and will be interacted as such. Forum rules still apply.
Thanks for everything, everyone. Been reading about MTG and cube in particular here for at least a decade, probably longer - just never felt the need to post too much.
Well that sucks. Been posting here since the early days of cube. Although less so recently, I've still been checking for spoiler reactions. Thanks to all the regulars and not-so-regulars for years of enjoyment.
Please everyone let us know where are folks migrating to, will miss a friendly cube community.
This site has been my #1 source for cube theory, discussion, hype, and love for over 6 years. It’s quite upsetting to see it end.
I want to express my appreciation and respect for the members in this forum who have provided their wisdom and experience in SCD'S and spoilers time and time again, especially Wtwlf123’s crucial Top 20’s, Steve_Man’s support on discord, and Goodking’s opinions. My cube would be a joke if not for the hours of scrolling and messaging I’ve done on here. Hope the creation and transition to the new site is successful.
Thanks for making something big & beautiful together,
Tony
This whole thing is depressing. Even recently I searched up the old black and green aggro threads when overhauling my Cube. Yes the forums will be there but no new posts mean everything will eventually fade away.
Thank you to everyone for everything. I'm pushing 40 and this forum is one of my all time favorites and quite possibly the one where I had the most longevity. Wow.
So if you haven't seen the latest article, there was an 11th hour purchase of the site and it will remain open. To head off any questions....
Yes, the site which Steveman and I have been discussing is still moving forward as planned.
We are still working on the site and we will have more updates on that as we approach release.
I'll let other staff speak for themsleves further on thier thoughts but I see great promise for the New Site and I do get to share this the Name: MTG Nexus. We are trying to create a nexus for all things MTG and one thing I will mention. This has been one of my big requests for our new site are it is currently planned: a CUBE BUILDER.
You heard me right We are planning on creating a cubebuilder which I can't begin to cover how excited I am for this. This means no more needing to link between cubetutor and Sally. We can truly try to be a Nexus for all cube talk. But there are many features we currently have planned most are still in process so I cant speak too much more on them but I wanted to share this with y'all.
As for any users here, I encourage and welcome everyone who helped to make this site the great community it has become to at the very least sign up and check us out.
Just popping in to say that it’s been fun modding everyone but as of today, I’ve officially retired and am a regular user! I’m excited to see where MTG Nexus takes the community, and at least for now, will be experiencing the journey alongside everyone else!
So, MTG Nexus is live, but no updates here on it? I found out by watching Magic Mics this morning. The commander forum over there already has tons of traffic, but the cube forum only has a couple of threads.

They just went live yesterday and announced it here:
Cool, but that's in the Commander forum (which explains why that section of MTG Nexus has so much traffic already). When I said "here" I didn't necessarily mean "somewhere on MTGS". I meant none of the cube forum threads had been updated to let us cubers know we can go check it out. Just a little disappointing is all.

This is still the best place for high-power-level cube chat & debate.
Here's to many more years at MTGS *clink*
