Mark - Strixhaven Study Abroad
Q: What advice would you offer to other designers considering their key projects?
Start by putting cards together and drafting them; iterating through actual playtesting is the best way to learn what works and what doesn't.
Mark - Strixhaven Study Abroad
Q: How settled is this curriculum and could planes change in the future?
Mark describes being a perfectionist who tinkers constantly but intends to keep the current set cohesive for the foreseeable future, with small tie-ins and potential but not immediate shifts, balancing flavor with playability.
Mark - Strixhaven Study Abroad
Q: Start by giving us the overview of what this project is.
The cube takes Strixhaven's core idea of five color pairs but shifts them to allied colors and centers the drafting around spell-based interactions, especially lessons and learn, to create a limited-environment feel within a cube.
