Ep 4 - The Shard Cube

Erich and Hayden introduce The Shard Cube, an environment focused on Magic’s allied three colour groups and built with a love of Alara block. Rich discussions on the initial difficulty of achieving one’s desired power level and what criteria to examine cards with when making changes ensue.
