Andy and Anthony talk about and dispel what they see as the most prevalent myths about Cube drafting and design. While the format has seen a ton of growth in the last few years, it’s still not uncommon for people to think of Cube as primarily defined by the MTGO Cube (cubecobra.com/cube/list/modovintage). Other myths like Cube being only for the most enfranchised players or requiring exactly 8 people are still pervasive.
