General Cube Engineers: A Podcast about Cube!

[TrainmasterGT]

Hello everyone! I just started a new Podcast about Game Design, Cube, and other cool topics. I have two episodes out right now, inclduing one with guest host Usman Jamil!

Episode 1: Amonkhet Reborn

In the first episode of Cube Engineers, I discuss the history and rebirth of Amonkhet, from both a game design and lore perspective. I cover how Amonkhet came to be, the real-world influences inspiring the set, and how the Plane has evolved over time.

Episode 2: Aetherdrift Cube Review with Usman Jamil

In this episode, I am joined by special guest Usman Jamil to discuss Aetherdrift: the latest Magic: the Gathering set and its potential impact on the Cube format. We also discuss cards from the set we are excited about in various contexts.

The show is available in the following places at this time:
Substack
Spotify
Apple Podcasts

There is also an RSS link for those who have a different platform of choice!

Thanks for listening!
–GT

I have listened the first episode on my walk to the university this morning and I loved it! I like the fact that you are talking about whatever thing you like, and not only about Cube or about Magic, also the bits of geopolitics and game design are wonderful! Tomorrow I will listen to the second one

Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed the discussion of Egyptian history and politics and how they relate to Amonkhet!

Episode 2 is a bit more of a normal "Cube Podcast" episode, but I think there are quite a few fun moments.

Pro Tip: Make sure to listen to Episode 2 all the way to the end, there's a little segment after the outro music!
