Listen "Cube Drafting with Smaller Groups"

Episode Synopsis

Andy and Anthony absolutely obliterate the notion that you need eight people to draft a cube. While a full pod might be your ideal, with tons of different draft formats, there’s a great way to play regardless of the size of your playgroup.
Our listener submitted pack 1, pick 1 this week comes from Moon’s Fast and Friendly Cube. Thanks, Moon!
