During this episode Anthony Adams aka. Uber Bear and Stu discusses how Magic the Gathering has evolved from a cube design perspective. The team banters on the pillars of Magic and how each portion of the color pie is both defined and evolved in Magic's 30-year history. In addition, we discuss both design and curation utilizing the "paper, rock scissors" method for both archetype choices as well as power balancing. This was a fun "meta" conversation in which we dissect several unique secret cards and establish how they have melded with various portions of the MTG color wheel and adsorbed the expected attributes. Thank you for listening and as always happy cubing!
