just below the power level"},{"startTime":208.92,"endTime":210.24,"body":"of most powerful cards."},{"startTime":210.24,"endTime":212.84,"body":"And like for me,"},{"startTime":210.24,"endTime":212.84,"body":"that has taken time to find works."},{"startTime":212.84,"endTime":213.6,"body":"And like there's been times"},{"startTime":213.6,"endTime":217.84,"body":"where I've not enjoyed my cube as much"},{"startTime":213.6,"endTime":217.84,"body":"because I haven't found that power

like the 100 only top two cube."},{"startTime":227.64,"endTime":231.36,"body":"Like it took the idea of how can I run"},{"startTime":227.64,"endTime":231.36,"body":"a 100 on the top tips and make that fun,"},{"startTime":231.76,"endTime":235.16,"body":"and really thought"},{"startTime":231.76,"endTime":235.16,"body":"about what cards work with the

possible."},{"startTime":248.04,"endTime":252.24,"body":"But then like this can also apply to like"},{"startTime":248.04,"endTime":252.24,"body":"a budget cube made from cards you like."},{"startTime":252.24,"endTime":254.64,"body":"Like that's still a theme and a goal."},{"startTime":254.64,"endTime":257.2,"body":"Like if you start adding more efficient"},{"startTime":254.64,"endTime":257.2,"body":"and expensive cards"},{"startTime":257.2,"endTime":258.8,"body":"and that's going to start"},{"startTime":257.2,"endTime":258.8,"body":"warping the environment"},{"startTime":258.8,"endTime":260.32,"body":"and it'll lead to less fun games."},{"startTime":260.32,"endTime":262.4,"body":"That's kind of what I'm trying to like."},{"startTime":262.4,"endTime":264.96,"body":"Just does that kind of make sense?"},{"startTime":262.4,"endTime":264.96,"body":"What I'm saying?"},{"startTime":264.96,"endTime":266.0,"body":"Yeah, I think so."},{"startTime":266.0,"endTime":270.32,"body":"I think I would focus more"},{"startTime":266.0,"endTime":270.32,"body":"on the word goal from the word team"},{"startTime":270.64,"endTime":274.84,"body":"because,"},{"startTime":270.64,"endTime":274.84,"body":"like a bunch of really good cubes"},{"startTime":274.84,"endTime":279.12,"body":"I've played have not had,"},{"startTime":274.84,"endTime":279.12,"body":"like a super discernable theme"},{"startTime":279.12,"endTime":283.08,"body":"outside of here's a bunch of cards"},{"startTime":279.12,"endTime":283.08,"body":"I like and I think play well together."},{"startTime":283.52,"endTime":288.2,"body":"But I think what you do definitely need"},{"startTime":283.52,"endTime":288.2,"body":"is a goal in terms of how you want"},{"startTime":288.2,"endTime":293.76,"body":"the games to play out and what experience"},{"startTime":288.2,"endTime":293.76,"body":"you're going for for your

cards"},{"startTime":294.16,"endTime":298.56,"body":"you like, but some of them are"},{"startTime":298.96,"endTime":301.92,"body":"super high power levels"},{"startTime":298.96,"endTime":301.92,"body":"and then that super low power level,"},{"startTime":301.92,"endTime":303.8,"body":"some of them push very quick games."},{"startTime":303.8,"endTime":307.12,"body":"And the firm, can't cope"},{"startTime":303.8,"endTime":307.12,"body":"with that aggression."},{"startTime":307.12,"endTime":307.56,"body":"Then."},{"startTime":307.56,"endTime":312.32,"body":"Then you can have like"},{"startTime":307.56,"endTime":312.32,"body":"some quite
