• Dirk - Trash Bag Cube

  This week, Dirk talks about turning trash into treasure with the Trash Bag Cube, a collaborative project built from the local bargain bin. We also unpack his journey from a tournament grinder to a cube designer and what he's learned along the way. We explore creating positive discomfort, playing Magic for the love of the game, and remembering that no cuber is an island... not even the Blue players.Trash Bag Cube: https://www.cubecobra.com/cube/overview/ThisistrashDirk on CubeCobra: https://www.cubecobra.com/user/view/62450f237dd4c3409e7c9fc9Dirk on Bsky: https://bsky.app/profile/dirkjay.bsky.socialEmail the show at [email protected]

• Heather - Urza's Saga Cube

  This week, Heather guides us through a tour of fascinating projects, starting with Urza's Saga Cube where players begin with the namesake card in their pool. From an Ancient Tomb-centric Dan-Dan variant, to a land-rich and threat-light desert, to a Rochester Planechase draft, there's plenty to be inspired and encouraged by.
