96 - Cube Roto Redux

NOTE:  This podcast was recorded in early March and has been available on the EWDC website since then, but due to your hosts’ lazyiness and general ineptitude, it is only now being posted on MTGCast.  Apologies for the delay.  New episodes (yes, they are coming eventually) will be posted in a more timely fashion. —————————————————— In his most triumphant return to the podcast yet, Jeff joins Greg for a quick discussion on the state of Born of the Gods limited and a lengthy review of the west coast crew’s most recent cube rotisserie draft. This iteration of the cube roto might have been the most interesting yet. Between the rising value of lands, the plummeting value of red, and the fallout associated with a post-draft split into teams, your hosts have plenty to discuss. To see (most of) the draft results along with some minor statistical analysis, check out this Google doc spreadsheet: Cube Roto Redux —————————————————— Check out the EWDC website: http://eastwestdraftcast.com Send any feedback to eastwestdraftcast@gmail.com Tweet at us on Twitter: @EWDraftCast Like us on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/ewdraftcast —————————————————— Intro music –> The Pixies – Debaser Outro music -> Menomena – Pique —————————————————— Thanks for listening.
