Odcinek w którym lekko marudzimy na przehypowanie rzeczywistości. Czasem aż odechciewa się śledzenia newsów. Co poza tym? Rozmawiamy o konferencji Open AI Dev Day i możliwości budowania własnych, customowych chatów GPT - hit czy kit? Szymon analizuje alternatywę dla outboxa. Na dokładkę wyżymamy Serverless Vector Search for AI, przeglądamy CubeCon i newsy do AKS-a, a na koniec - mówimy o kłopotach Okty z bezpieczeństwem. Mimo tego marudzenia na początku - sporo się dzieje. Jak zwykle, rozmawiamy bez filtrów i upiększeń, więc na wielu tematach nie zsotawiamy suchej nitki. Za to potrafimy docenić naprawdę ciekawe pomysły. Co przeważyło tym razem? Posłuchaj! Nasze sociale i linki Materiały do odcinka

After watching Caleb draft his Powered Synergy Cube on Magic Online for hours, Andy is dying to support some more sweet, synergistic decks in his Bun Magic Cube. After some reflection, he's not sure if that would even work, so he's bringing his hopes and dreams to Anthony to discuss whether it's even possible to support Bazaar of Baghdad, Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle, or Molten Vortex in a cube that is over one-third interaction. Our listener submitted pack 1, pick 1 this week comes from Donald K. Magic's “Balanced Budget” Cube. Special thanks to Donald for being the first person to help us annotate old episodes.

Jonathan Brostoff, a.k.a. TeamJBro, is a popular streamer and peerless master of cube play. He won the SCGCon Winter 2019 cube championship, and he is by far and away the most consistent trophy leader in MTGO cubes. CUBECON is very much Jonathan's initiative as well, and I'm excited to be part of the team that is putting together a big, real-life competitive cube event. Jonathan sits down with me to chat about features of his favorite environments, how he analyzes cube lists when preparing to tackle new environments, and what he looks for in packs as he builds decks. Special thanks to Patreon members and to super patron Dylan Quern for their support!

Here's a bonus episode that brings exciting news! WOTC is featuring one of my cubes and my guest's cube on MTGO from May 13-27, 2020! Wizards is using two of the ten cubes that will be played in the main events at CubeCon, an event for which I am an organizer. The spotlighted cubes are legacy environments by me and by our guest, Gwen Dekker. Gwen is the creator and lead developer of Cube Cobra, which is an awesome cube management web platform. Gwen and I sit down together to talk about our differing design visions and we have sculpted cubes that provide totally different play experiences within the same general power band. Come join us for convivial and high-level MTG Cube talk!
