Diving Into the Ball Pit

View all cards mentioned in this episode

Andy and Anthony are joined by Jane to talk about her novel Cube The Ball Pit. In this cube, every card is treated as a modal double faced card with Chromatic Sphere on the back side. On top of that, the Cube is also a desert cube, so players must draft their lands and don’t have access to additional basics, and every card drafted must be played in your deck. They talk about Jane’s process designing the cube and how the rules relate to the particular cards included.

Discussed in this episode:

• The Ball Pit
• Data Generated Vintage Cube
• Recross the Paths Discussing the Ball Pit
• Inland Northwest Cube Fest
• CubeCon
