Andy and Anthony talk about the the new draft format Wizard’s intends for playing their latest release: Marvel’s Spider-Man. Designing the set approachable for small play groups, they propose a four player draft where each player takes two cards at a time from sealed booster packs. Our hosts talk about the design of the format, and the constraints in packaging and communication that informed it. They talk about the ways they prefer to draft with small groups and the options available to them as Cube organizers that they can take advantage of to have fun with any number of players.
