Manage episode 353253402 series 2778740
Andy and Anthony talk about common pitfalls new Cube designers fall into. There’s no right way to build a Cube, but new designers very often fall into similar patterns and a few pieces of feedback consistently come up.
- Play more mana fixing lands
- Lower the average mana cost of cards
- Increase the amount of interactive spells

- Don’t feel obligated to adhere to 10 themes for each two color pair
- Be aware of the high cost of rules modifications
