I am trying to A20 defect and being annoyed cause defect is cringe.

Congrats to our top 8 and Patrick Tierney our WCC 2025 champion!

WCC 2025 is in the books! It was great to have everyone out, the vibes were immaculate and the cubing was fun. See everyone next year!

I would doubling season the number of picks per pack in that cube.

Not obnoxious! I think most powerful is implied based on their question, these are good shouts. I like bolt as "best" (encompassing many factors) common and brainstorm as most powerful.

Fair, in my head it had been printed at common at some point 🤣

Someone who is only tangentially familiar with magic asked me what the best common is. I didn't think to hard and said Swords to Plowshares. I can't imagine that is right. Hit me with some other answers. Context, nuance or hyperbole all accepted.

They are commons how hard can it be?

I mean it's basically cereal and tea. Those are morning things

This is a bauble cube banger in case there was any confusion.

A VERY simplified example is: If you have 3 wraths and an average of 1 control drafter in your pods going up to 4 wraths might reduce the number of options in the draft as opposed to swapping one of the existing 3. My question is what purpose do "slots" serve towards your players having fun?

I avoid asking people to think about what the "right" number of slots are. However, if I did need to use this concept it would be in cubes where the entire cube is drafted. Sometimes, you will find you can have too many of certain effects (i.e. 4 mana wrath) for what the average pod wants to draft.

I find "slots" are really poor thought technology in cube design, primarily used to adhere to a strict spreadsheet aesthetic. I find my self making changes in a "slot" like fashion when a new card is too close to an old card and playing both would create redundancy in the gameplay experience.

Build around Isamaru, Hound of Kinda I dare you

You have mentioned a good book. I now have dopamine in my brain.

Oh sweet! That sounds like a blast.

Video Games: GMTK and his Developing series are amazing

Wildlife Conservation: Worlds Wildest is a fun dose of animal facts.

Authors talking nonsense/media: Intentionally Blank.

I think so. It solves a lot of different problems twisted image is good but doesn't kill the scariest threats ie things with power

Glad to hear. Tell everyone stifle is the best blue interactive spell. That is not a joke and information a lot about the format.

Sweet any notes from players?

Sick, what 3-0'd?

Yeah that is about right 🤣

Welcome to the 21st century :P

I forgot to respond when you sent me this cause I didn't have any notes to change. Good read and all makes sense. Oh, except I do think that Vronos wasn't played because it is just quite bad. It says planeswalker on it but not in a way that makes the card worth the five mana.

Great job on this one Parker. All important but I especially like word count=/=complexity.

Very doable. I am free most non-Tuesday evenings with enough warning. lmk

Down for chats 100%. Games maybe, where did you plan to play them?

In depth research is a key indicator of an author's dedication and skill for me. Very cool.
