We present a photometric study of the magnetic cataclysmic variable (MCV) EU Cnc, which is a member of the solar-age/solar-metalicity open cluster M67. A comparison with field and globular cluster MCVs reveals that, although the amplitude of the orbital light curve of EU Cnc corresponds to that of a high polar, the cluster membership (absolute magnitude) of the system implies a low M-dot system. Considering that EU Cnc is the only MCV known in an open cluster, our result suggests that open cluster MCVs may differ from their field and globular cluster counterparts.
