Tuning Control in 100 Ornithopters (Again)

View all cards mentioned in this episode (luckypaper.co/podcast/264-tuning-control-in-10…)
Andy and Anthony talk about control decks in Andy’s 100 Ornithopters (cubecobra.com/cube/overview/100-ornithopters) Cube. Control decks flush with disenchants often perform better than Andy expects them to, getting a surprising density of what seems like should be premium cards for all players. They talk about why that might be the case, the kinds of decks they think should be able to combat these decks, and Andy’s plans to change the Cube to make the gameplay better fit the expectations he sets for players.
