View all cards mentioned in this episode
Andy and Anthony walk through (some of) the history of modal mechanics: cards that offer players choices between multiple effects. Starting with alpha they look at the different manifestations of modality, how they compare and contrast, and how they impact gameplay and fit into their Cube design philosophy.
Discussed in this episode:
- An 11 hour game of commander ends in a draw and irrecoverable footage
- RhymeZone
- Neologism
- Episode: 243: In which Parker shares his criticism of Cycling
