More Mana, Faster Mana
Manage episode 288695344 series 2778740
This week, Andy and Anthony discuss changes to Andy’s Bun Magic Cube, updated to include a dramatic increase in the number of mana fixing lands and filling out a suite of fast mana. Our hosts discuss how this level of mana fixing changes a draft, and what questions they’re asking themselves to try to recalibrate expectations when drafting the shifted environment. Andy argues increasing the amount of ‘broken’ fast mana decreases variance, creating a more fun draft environment. And Anthony, uncharacteristically, defends a six drop that isn’t Colossal Dreadmaw.
We take a pack 1, pick 1 from listener John’s 360 Card Cube for 2. In the spirit of the cube, we open a grid draft pack and try to maximize the best three cards from a pack of 9.
Timestamps:
- 4:12 Listener Submitted Pack One, Pick One
- 15:28 Adding More Lands to a Cube
- 32:05 Fast Mana in a Fair Environment
- 55:18 Outro
You can find the hosts’ Cubes on Cube Cobra:
