Who is this guy?? + comprehensive lists of my content.
tl;dr: I've been writing and podcasting about cube since 2010.
tl;dr I’ve written and podcasted about cube since 2010. Here are some comprehensive lists of my cube set reviews and theory-based/design-based cube writing.
I started writing about cube in 2010 with a one-off article for MTGSalvation. I’ve written for Quiet Speculation, Star City Games, Coolstuffinc, Hipsters of the Coast and Lucky Paper. I’ve written many set reviews and theory-based articles on cube design over the years, with the latter shaping much of modern cube design when it was mostly in an undefined state in the late 2000s. (I’ll eventually port the article lists over here but I don’t want to inundate my subscribers with more email.)
I created the first cube podcast, The Third Power, in 2010. (Since the host, MTGCast.com, is down, most of the episodes are lost to the sands of time, but I was able to salvage some and I’ll be posting some on here) and am one of the hosts of the Pack One Slick Ones podcast. I’ve also been a guest on various cube podcasts over the years.
I’ve served on the committee for The Pauper Cube for curating the list for several years, as well as working in a similar fashion on the MTGO Cube.
I created a cube for Magic Online, The Ravnica Cube, which was on Magic Online in 2022 for a week. The cube’s theme was based on the plane of Ravnica, using planar neutral cards to flesh out the cube and to make it a better format.
I hosted a panel at CubeCon 2024: “Cube Building for Dummies: Everything you wanted to know but were too afraid to ask.” This may have been the first panel at a CubeCon.
I’ve had a cube since 2009, initially a “powered cube” but one that has since become a “Legacy-Lite” cube. I also maintain a pauper and peasant cube, (although both haven’t been updated in years.)
