## Resource

Welcome to the 53rd episode of Cuberviews, a podcast where I sit down with friends to explore the world of Magic: The Gathering cube design! Today, I’m excited to be joined by Jordan Kruis to talk about the Lavender Desert, which is a color restricted Jeskai desert cube. In this episode we discuss the inspiration behind building a desert-themed environment, the role lands play in shaping gameplay, the strengths and challenges of designing within Jeskai colors, and the unique archetypes that emerge from combining cycling, artifacts, spellslinger strategies, second-card-draw synergies and more!
