This episode the boys bring on a special guest, their good friend Ryan Adams, to talk about Common/Uncommon (or Peasant) cube! The quartet goes over Ryan's peasant cube, discuss the different archetypes he has chosen to support, and why he decided to go build c/uc cube rather than a more powered list.
Everything from mana base, to drafting from a smaller power band, to pushing color combinations is covered in detail.
Late in the episode, the guys crack a few packs. and go over their first picks.
In the first pack:
Mason thinks Mnemonic Wall is the pick, given it's combo potential. Alec goes for Ridgescale Tusker, while Josh opt's for either fixing or Curse of Predation. Ryan is inclined to agree with Josh, noting that curse is one of the best cards for green strategies.
The Second Pack:
Mason thinks Jade Mage is a slam dunk, giving your deck a mana sink in the late game while providing an early play as well. Alec thinks the safest and most open pick is Vivid Marsh. Josh and Ryan are sold on Dinrova Horror as a way to 2-for-1 your opponent while leaving you with a huge body to finish the game.
The guys crack a third and final pack:
Ryan thinks the "correct pick" is one of the removal spells, but is more persuaded by the punishing nature of Skymark Roc. Alec and Mason think the Cloudgoat Ranger is one of the better picks, while Josh agrees with Ryan on the tempo advantage given by the u/w bird.
