Recross the Paths

"I rather think that archives exist to keep things safe - but not secret." - Kevin Young
This week, Andrew takes us deep into The Archive, a charming showcase cube that includes at least three cards from (almost) every standard-release set since Magic's release. We discuss finding joy in the process of creating, using design packages to create cohesion, balancing the breadth of Magic's history, and much more.

"Cube is a community thing." This week, Yolo shares about his eponymous cube, yoloswagb0i's yoloswagcube, as well as the value of building and being part of a local cube group. We explore saying "yes" to more things, building community through consistency, drafting decks you're excited to play, and much more.

In this week's conversation, Maggie guides us through Twilight A.K.A The Cube Version of The Twilight Saga: New Moon Soundtrack, where we embrace nostalgia through sight, sound... and sometimes smell. This vibes-focused project aims to capture the feelings of a bygone era through card selection, aesthetics, and interactive speed. We explore how fundamentals are a foundation for freedom, the value of curio collecting, why you should 'just send it,' and much more.
