Listen "Cube Design Iron Chef: Genesis Wave"
Episode Synopsis
View all cards mentioned in this episodeAndy and Anthony brainstorm a brand new cube starting from a single card: Genesis Wave. Like the two previous episodes, featuring Goblin Charbelcher and Trade Routes, they expand from a single card considering what kind of environment it would make sense in. They take a few further steps considering more layers of cards that fit together in different ways. They end up with a rough sketch for a cube idea, including some general themes and a few open questions still to answer to turn their initial brainstorm into a playable list.Discussed in this episode:Second Edition of the Cube Will Outlive Magic Playmats Available for PreorderLucky Paper PatreonEpisode 197: Cube Design Iron Chef: Goblin CharbelcherEpisode 182: Emergent Cube Design by Example starting with Trade RoutesIf you’d like to show your support for the show, please consider backing Lucky Paper on Patreon or leaving us a review on iTunes or wherever you listen.Check us out on Twitch and YouTube for paper Cube gameplay.You can find the hosts’ Cubes on Cube Cobra:Andy’s “Bun Magic” CubeAnthony’s “Regular” CubeYou can find both your hosts in the MTG Cube Talk Discord.
