Our weekend episode tackles the next step of building a cube: cutting cards from your first pass of ideas. Tim cooked up a list of cards for a possible Zendikar cube, pulling cards from both Z-blocks. Joining him and Bradley are returning guests Rob AKA Alchemyprime and Markus AKA Mark_Confidant. This episode is packed with lots of discussions about individual cards, the context this cube creates for those cards, and how to approach cutting cards when all of them are so sweet.

Markus recommended this tweet thread in the episode: https://twitter.com/SixthComma/status/1261688215179853824
