Setting the Tempo


Listen Later

This episode is all about tempo — what is it, when does it matter, and how do you apply it to your Cube design and gameplay decisions. Andy and Anthony talk about what “aggro” really means, why some games feel like they’re completely out of your control from the first land you play, the tempo vs value axis, taplands, low CMC spells, scaleable threats, cheap interaction, and what Llanowar Elves, Azorius Signet, and Sleight of Hand have in common.

Our pack 1, pick 1 this week is from listener Lemem’s 450 Card Unpowered Cube. Thanks, Lemem!

Discussed on this episode:

  • Limited Resources episode 572 — Holiday Potpourri
  • An Ode to Scalable Threats
  • TEMPO by Reid Duke
  • Next Level Deckbuilding by Patrick Chapin
