It’s a new year and Lucky Paper Radio is back! They also never went anywhere, but they’re back nonetheless. On this episode, Andy and Anthony intend to talk about Anthony’s multiplayer cube that he couldn’t help but make after our little string of multiplayer-focused episodes a couple months back, but instead, our hosts get riled up and end up talking about what it means to be a “cube spike”, and whether or not such a thing even exists. Things really kick off about 1/3rd of the way through, so buckle up!
Talking points include:

The game theory of multiplayer Magic
Magic: the Gathering’s Psychographics
What it means to be a spike as a player
What it means to design a cube with a spike mentality
How the concept of simply cutting bad cards and adding good ones doesn’t really hold up to any scrutiny
Local maximums
How the power level of a card is always relative
Baneslayers and Mulldrifters (yes, AGAIN)

You can find the hosts’ Cubes on Cube Cobra:

Andy’s “Bun Magic” Cube
Anthony’s “Regular” Cube
