How to Play Your Own, Custom Cube on Arena

Lucky Paper Radio - A podcast by Andy Mangold and Anthony Mattox - Mondays

Andy and Anthony are joined by Chris and Tim from the Jank Diver Gaming Community to talk about how to play your own, custom-designed cube on Arena. In an exciting, two-part episode, the boys first walk through the process of playing Cube through Arena, then participate in one of Jank Diver Gaming’s weekly drafts and discuss their experience. Will Andy, who has effectively never played Arena before, punt away all his games by not knowing how to use the interface? Will Anthony hate-draft from our guests, leaving a path of burned bridges behind him? Is Theo still too powerful to defeat? Does anyone actually know the full rules text of Questing Beast? Tune in to find out. ⁠View all cards mentioned in the episode →⁠ Discussed in this episode: Jank Diver Gaming Discord Cube Cobra mtgadraft.tk Matcherino Arena card pool on Scryfall Lucky Paper Rotisserie Draft Template Theo’s Arena Cube The Use and Abuse of Archetype Driven Design Get Some Game LGS in North Charlotte Jank Diver Gaming on Twitter and YouTube Timestamps: 1:28 — How to Draft Your Own Cube on Arena 19:33 — Reflections on Andy and Anthony’s First Arena Cube Draft 22:52 — How does the Jank Diver Unrestricted Cube feel to an outsider? 25:21 — How was the Jank Diver Unrestricted Cube designed? 39:56 — Rotisserie Drafting the Jank Diver Unrestricted Cube 40:59 — The differences in perceived tempo when playing digitally 47:23 — Details of the Jank Diver Gaming community 49:01 — Chris and Tim’s top 5 Most Wanted Arena Reprints Check us out on Twitch and YouTube for paper Cube gameplay.
