Andy and Anthony look at the cards recommended by Cube Cobra’s ‘recommender’ which analyzes every Cube on Cube Cobra, and generates a list of cards that are unusual among similar lists. They look at the ‘suggested cuts’ for their main cubes and talk about why, or why not, they think these unique inclusions make sense. They also take a step back and talk about how these tools can be useful, but where they are not, and things we need to consider when interpreting their suggestions.
