  • Thoughtful Cube Commentary

    I don’t normally enjoy single presenter podcasts, preferring to listen to a conversation, but there is something about Ryan’s easygoing delivery that draws me in. He is very articulate and insightful about a variety of approaches to cubing. His brief digressions into other issues mark him out as a good person as well as a good communicator.

  • Hidetsugu’s Second Rite

    Loved this episode! I played Big Red during standard and I played a single copy in the deck just in case. It ended up under a Chrome Mox more than it hit players. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I also drafted a Jitte at the BoK prerelease P1P1. Don’t remember if I got to play it though.

Evaluating New Cards for Cube
Q: I for one would love to hear more about your process for evaluating cards from new sets. I feel like my heuristics are all about what I find fun, but I'm trying to get better at thinking about things like what's a good rate for an environment, and I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on the subject.
Overturf recommends considering rate in context, including a card's floor and ceiling, unique effects, synergies, specificity, and complexity. He advises testing cards, making small changes, listening to player feedback, and prioritizing the kinds of gameplay the Cube's players find fun.
Poetry and Cube Design with Jane McKinney
Q: Why is cube design treated as a form of art beyond just assembling cards?
Because a cube communicates mood, structure, and a unique experience through patterns, rhythm, and the arrangement of cards, much like poetry, so it can express something deeper than a simple deck list.
