Andy and Anthony talk about why they think Vintage Cube sucks. Riddled with unintelligibly complicated cards, self-solving puzzles, and value generating haymakers that take no investment or strategy to maximize, it’s not our hosts’ favorite kind of Cube.
Discussed in this episode:
- Aetherdrift and Aetherdrift Commander Cube surveys
- Really Bad Chess
- Rusty Box o’ Goblins
- Quadrant Theory
- MTGO Vintage Cube on Cube Cobra
- No Holds Barred Cube on MTGO
- Parker’s Article on Trivia Checks
- Stavvy’s World
- Midnight Diner
- May’s Fae Cube
Check us out on Twitch and YouTube for paper Cube gameplay.
