Welcome to the 47th episode of Cuberviews, a podcast where I sit down with friends to explore the world of Magic: The Gathering cube design! Today I’m thrilled to be joined by Greg Cortazzo, host of the Vertex Cube events, to the discuss The Drownyard, a low-power, color-imbalanced cube with a strong focus on the graveyard.

On today's episode we discuss topics such as including mill in your cube, how the cube's heavy color imbalance shapes draft decisions, the inspirations behind the cube, and much more. Enjoy the conversation and stay tuned for more insights into the world of cube design in future episodes of Cuberviews!
