On this week's Lucky Paper Radio, Andy and Anthony are answering a question from listener Nate about how to decide which cards to “ban” from his Peasant Cube. To date, Nate has used the Legacy banned list for his cube, but the recent addition of Arcum's Astrolabe has him wondering if he should drop this restriction. Then, they discuss the video “Should Cubes be Singleton?”, recounting their own experiences designing for both singleton and non-singleton environments. The confluence of these topics leads to a lengthy and detailed discussion about the role that restrictions play in cube design. Our listener submitted pack 1, pick 1 this week comes from Forrest716's Three-Color Cube. Thanks, Forrest! Discussed in this episode: The Birthday Problem How to Draw an Owl No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man.

Avunculus Mārcī, cui nōmen est Aemilius, in Germāniā mīlitat. Illīc exercitus Rōmānus fīnēs imperiī Rōmānī ā Germānīs dēfendit. Castra exercitūs mīlle passūs ā flūmine Rhēnō sunt in magnā silvā, ubi hostēs sē occultant. Mīlitēs Rōmānī impetum Germānōrum ex- spectant, neque hostēs barbarōs timent. Rōmānī enim bona arma habent atque circum castra fossa et vāllum altum est. Germānī castra Rōmāna expugnāre nōn possunt.Mārcus Aemilium mīlitem fortem esse putat. Puer ipse mīlitāre vult ut avunculus suus, neque arma habet Mārcus, et Iūlius dīcit ‘nūllōs puerōs mīlitāre aut arma ferre posse.’Quid igitur facit Mārcus? Arcum facit ex rāmō et līneā; etiam sagittās facit ex rāmīs tenuibus.Dum Mārcus arcum facit, Iūlia in hortō lūdit cum cane suā Margarītā. Sub arbore puella rāmum reperit. Iūlia canī rāmum ostendit: “Ecce rāmus, Margarīta! Quaere eum!” rāmumque procul ā cane iacit. Canis rāmum quaerit, reperit, ad Iūliam portat. Canis rāmum ante pedēs Iūliae pōnit et caudam movet.Mārcus frātrem suum vocat atque eī arcum suum novum ostendit: “Ecce arcus meus, Quīnte. Iam mīles fortis est frāter tuus!”Quīntus: “Mīles Rōmānus gladiō et pīlō armātus est, nōn arcū et sagittīs. Ea arma sunt Hispānōrum et Gallōrum quī in exercitū Rōmānō mīlitant.”Mārcus: “Sed exercituī necesse est arcūs et sagittās habēre, neque enim pīla gravia procul iacī possunt. Sagittae procul volant quia levēs sunt.”Mārcus sagittam sūmit et in arcū pōnit. Ecce sagitta ex arcū iacitur et in hortō prope Iūliam ad terram cadit. Iūlia perterrita sagittam prope caput suum volāre sentit – sagitta aurem eius tangit!Syra, quae cum Iūliā in hortō est, sagittam prope Iūliam volāre videt atque īrāta ad Mārcum currit. Mārcus, quī Syram accurrere videt, arcum ad terram iacit atque fugit. Syra arcum Mārcī manū capit eumque procul ex hortō iacit. Mārcus trīstis arcum suum volāre aspicit.Canis quoque arcum volāre videt. Canis etiam illum rāmum quaerit ac reperit, neque eum ad Mārcum portat.Quīntus rīdet, quod ‘mīlitem fortem’ sine armīs fugere videt!
