Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Cube Abhors a Vacuum with Sam Cote
Q: What do you do when your playgroup size changes or you want a quick, last-hour option?
They discuss creating fast, low-complexity options like a quick, 45-minute cube and using mixed formats to accommodate larger or smaller groups.
Cube Abhors a Vacuum with Sam Cote
Q: Are you cooking with gas? What do you draft in the vintage cube? What are you cooking with?
Sam explains he does not draft vintage cubes and emphasizes drafting toward his preferred styles, focusing on playgroup dynamics and personal strengths.
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.
