On this episode of Solely Singleton Brad and Eric talk elves. The guys decided they wanted to talk about ‘mana ramping permanent that are 3 drops or less, but only in green’.

On this episode of Solely Singleton Brad and Eric are joined once again by Spootyone to talk about M20 and its possible impact on cubes. This episode was recorded the day the set was fully revealed and it only took slightly over two weeks to edit. People say M20 doesn’t have much for cube, but we somehow managed to talk about it enough to split into two parts. Part 1 contains the Red, Green, Multicolor, and Colorless cards. Part 2 contains White, Blue, and Black cards.  It kinda seems like the hosts started to lose their minds in the second part, but maybe that's just me.   0:30 - Intro 1:15 - White 24:03 - Blue 49:14 - Black 1:13:55 - Outro    Show Links:  Link to WAR First Impressions Document: Google Doc Solely Singleton Website: https://www.solelysingleton.com/ Solely Singleton Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SolelySingleton The Board Game Cube: http://www.cubetutor.com/theboardgamecube The Misers Cube: http://www.cubetutor.com/themiserscube Brad’s Main Cube: http://www.cubetutor.com/drruler Eric’s Trav
