Scholar of the Game

One of the great aspects of Cube is that it is somewhat all-encompassing — anything you like about Magic, whether it’s part a Commander deck, the Legacy metagame, or a specific sideboarding strategy in Pioneer, can inform how a cube is designed. On this episode, Andy and Anthony share all of the Magic podcasts, videos, and articles that they follow and why, talking about what they value in Magic content and how it shapes their experience of the game.

They also go just a tad off topic in Telescope Corner: talking about the newly operational, monumental James Webb Space Telescope releasing it’s first scientific photos the day after this release!
