They discuss the essential components needed, including choosing a commander, determining the ratio of lands, ramp cards, and creatures, and the importance of interaction cards.
Griffin emphasizes the significance of understanding color identity and suggests green as a primary color for a Battlecruiser deck due to its ramping capabilities and big creatures.
