Power Cuts Both Ways

See the full timestamps on our website or follow along with a visual spoiler of all the cards mentioned in this episode.

In an attempt to record a canonical episode about the concept of power level and how it applies to cube, our heroes are chatting about the advantages and disadvantages playing with the most powerful cards and effects. How is power level actually defined? How is it related to the speed and removal density of a format? What deck from Anthony’s Irregular Cube could possibly beat a deck from Andy’s Degenerate Micro Cube? Answers to all these questions and more within.

Discussed in this episode:

• The Degenerate Micro Cube
• Frank Karsten’s No limit Modern
• The Irregular Cube
• Source for average length of modern games, I cannot find source for Legacy
• The HP/Damaged Gonti Deck
• Card Kingdom Starter Cube (not an endorsement)
• The Turbo Cube
• “How would you rather lose?” Poll on the Lucky Paper Twitter Account
• Linguistic Relativity
• Epistemology
