Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

A Discussion on Twoberts with Ryan Overturf
Q: How does the two-player Tubert influence your approach to card density and archetype packaging?
He describes focusing on making every color function like a deck, ensuring sufficient synergy and overlap so even a small 180-card pool can support multiple archetypes without collapsing into underpowered options, and discusses the balance between high-powered packages and more modest, flexible ones.
A Discussion on Twoberts with Ryan Overturf
Q: Tell me about Cube events and your journey with Cube events.
Ryan explains his experience commentating at CubeCon, the evolution from larger formats to more experimental two-player cubes, and how he has learned to appreciate the feedback loops and the experimentation that happens at cube events, which helps inform his design philosophy for two-player Tuberts.
The Six Drop Cube with Simon Cloutier
Q: How do players respond to a cube designed around six drops, and how do you handle its power level?
Players' reactions can be split between enchanted hype and skepticism; the design includes powerful lands and six-drop spells but carefully curates removals and game-defining interactions to avoid unfun experiences, with ongoing experimentation to balance speed, consistency, and interaction.
The Six Drop Cube with Simon Cloutier
Q: What was the inspiration for this cube?
Simon explains that the cube started from conversations about a one-drop cube and a six-drop commander deck, then grew into a real project after realizing how six-mana can drive unique and entertaining play patterns, with Ben Wheeler and Tomer inspiring the approach.
Lavender Desert with Jordan Kruis
Q: What restrictions did you place on the cube and why?
I avoided MDFCs that aren't lands on at least one side, rejected old-border cards, and eliminated infinite combos and free interaction to keep the cube mid-powered and craft-focused, with a focus on cooling fast, strategic play rather than explosive, busted interactions.
