    Ep 5 - The Peasant Cube

    After much time away, Erich and Hayden return with a cube featuring commons and uncommons only, colloquially known as a peasant cube! It was built from a template based process that Erich created and now uses to create cubes quickly. Erich and Hayden will discuss this process in the hopes that it can provide some insight for budding cube designers out there looking to build their first cube!
