Happy Cubing! -Anthony aka Uber Bear
Great magic cube podcast with lovely hosts!
I had a whim to start designing my own cube, and was very lucky to have found this podcast first. I have enjoyed following weekly and delving into the years-long backlog of evergreen discussion.

When it comes to Magic: The Gathering cube design, no other podcast comes close to the quality and thoughtfulness of this one. Plus it’s entertaining. Check it out!

This show centers on Magic: The Gathering with a heavy emphasis on sandbox formats like Cube. Discussions frequently orbit cube design, power level, and drafting dynamics, including deep dives into specific formats (Regular Cube, Take Five, Bun Magic Cube, Sacred Geometry) and the philosophy behind creating engaging, balanced drafting environments. Notable throughlines include practical design guidance, event reporting (CubeCon DMV, Salt Box), and a collaborative, design-forward approach that blends theory with real-world play experiences. A distinguishing feature is the hosts' openness about the creative process, community-building, and sustaining ad-free content while exploring ambitious, community-driven cube projects.
