<p><a href="http://luckypaper.co/podcast/315-cross-pod-cube-throw-down-regular-cube-vs-sacred-geometry/cards">View all cards mentioned in this episode</a></p><p>In a strange experiment, Andy and Anthony organize drafts of their cubes <a href="https://cubecobra.com/cube/about/sacred-geometry?view=primer">Sacred Geometry</a> and <a href="https://cubecobra.com/cube/about/regular?view=primer">Regular Cube</a> and then pair players against the opposite cube. The two cubes have some major similarities, and clear differences. They wanted to see how drastically skewed win records would be towards one cube, and see what else they can learn. The experiment highlighted some unexpected differences and individual cards that skewed up or down when played against a different battery of opponents.</p><p>Discussed in this episode:</p><ul><li><a href="https://cubecobra.com/cube/about/sacred-geometry?view=primer">Sacred Geometry</a></li><li><a href="https://cubecobra.com/cube/about/regular?view=primer">Regular Cube</a></li><li><a href="https://cubecobra.com/cube/about/andymangold?view=primer">Bun Magic Cube</a></li><li><a href="https://cubecobra.com/cube/about/100-ornithopters?view=primer">100 Ornithopters</a></li><li><a href="https://cubecobra.com/cube/about/redterror?view=primer">The Red Terror</a></li></ul><p>If you’d like to show your support for the show, please consider <a href="https://patreon.com/LuckyPaper">backing Lucky Paper on Patreon</a> or <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lucky-paper-radio/id1522243165">leaving us a review on iTunes</a> or wherever you listen.</p><p>Check us out on <a href="https://www.twitch.tv/luckypapermtg">Twitch</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCx9a677zDh8t5jvOHQuBsjA">YouTube</a> for paper Cube gameplay.</p><p>You can find the hosts’ Cubes on Cube Cobra:</p><ul><li><a href="https://cubecobra.com/cube/overview/andymangold">Andy’s “Bun Magic” Cube</a></li><li><a href="https://cubecobra.com/cube/overview/regular">Anthony’s “Regular” Cube</a></li></ul><p>You can find both your hosts in the <a href="https://discord.gg/WyEeGABT8P">MTG Cube Talk Discord</a>.
