They talk through the pros and cons of them and how different types may play a role in Cubes. They go through a number of their own cubes, analyzing them from this perspective.Discussed in this episode:Take 5Sacred Geometry100 OrnithoptersBun Magic CubeNeoclassical CubeTurbo CubeRegular CubeIf you'd like to show your support for the show, please consider backing Lucky Paper on Patreon or leaving us a review on iTunes or wherever you listen.Check us out on Twitch and YouTube for paper Cube gameplay.You can find the hosts' Cubes on Cube Cobra:Andy's “Bun Magic” CubeAnthony's “Regular” CubeYou can find both your hosts in the MTG Cube Talk Discord.

Andy shares his ideas for an aesthetic sun-bleached cube, a cube where your deck is your life total, and an environment built around wishes.

Aujourd'hui, Abel Boyi, éducateur, Emmanuel de Villiers, chef d'entreprise, et Zohra Bitan, cadre de la fonction publique, débattent de l'actualité autour d'Alain Marschall et Olivier Truchot.

In this episode, Toni is joined once again by Emily Claire for the first official Raw Dynamic episode, centered around the story and philosophy behind Raw Dynamic Pet Food. Emily shares how the company originally started after one of the owner's dogs struggled with severe skin and coat issues, leading to the development of a fresh food approach that ultimately inspired the brand. A major focus of the conversation is accessibility and convenience in raw feeding. Toni and Emily break down why Raw Dynamic's cube format has been such a game changer for pet parents — especially for multi-dog households, foster situations, enrichment feeding, and those moments when you forget to thaw food ahead of time. They also discuss how making raw feeding easier and less intimidating helps more people transition away from heavily processed diets. Throughout the episode, Toni and Emily reflect on the growing raw feeding space, what separates Raw Dynamic from other brands, and why practicality matters just as much as ingredient quality when helping pet owners make long-term changes. It's a grounded conversation about fresh feeding, real-life routines, and removing barriers that keep people from feeding better food.

View all cards mentioned in this episodeMost of the time when listeners suggest topics we've already recorded a whole episode dedicated to that subject. Sometimes we've even recorded three. It turns out almost six years is a long time to have a weekly podcast about a niche interest like Cube design. So when someone recently suggested we record an episode about ‘colorless cards' I was surprised to discover that we have never actually dedicated an entire episode to the subject, and it turns out we have a lot to say!If you have questions for our 300th episodes please send them to mail@luckypaper.co with the subject line ‘Episode 300 Question'.Discussed in this episode:Hedron NetworkRegular CubeTurbo Cube100 OrnithoptersBun MagicSacred GeometryNeoclassical CubeDevoid CubeIf you'd like to show your support for the show, please consider backing Lucky Paper on Patreon or leaving us a review on iTunes or wherever you listen.Check us out on Twitch and YouTube for paper Cube gameplay.You can find the hosts' Cubes on Cube Cobra:Andy's “Bun Magic” CubeAnthony's “Regular” CubeYou can find both your hosts in the MTG Cube Talk Discord.

View all cards mentioned in this episodeAndy and Anthony talk about cutting a long-standing, controversial card from 100 Ornithopters: Echoing Boon. They talk about gameplay experiences with the card and why Andy decided to include a conspiracy in the cube in the first place.

Tony Baldassarre, President and CEO of UniDoc Health, has a mission to provide accessible healthcare through remote technology and a Health Cube that can be deployed in a wide range of settings. This approach integrates into existing EMR/EHR platforms and includes a healthcare professional who works with the patient in the Cube to interact with medical devices and consult remotely with a doctor. There have been successful deployments in Ukraine, Italy, and Alaska, showing a significant reduction in emergency room visits and demonstrating capabilities for specialized care and management of chronic conditions.  Tony explains, "With the UniDoc solution, what we do is not just enable a conversation between a doctor and patient - it is not just a phone or video call. We actually provide real diagnostic medical devices for doctors to conduct a comprehensive medical visit remotely, just as if the patient were in their office. The important thing is that number one, we only use real medical devices. These are medical devices that are approved by Health Canada, the FDA, and the European Union. They are the exact same medical devices that you find at a doctor's office or a hospital. So the doctors are actually conducting the visit, and the data that they're receiving is exactly the same as it would be if they were together in the office."   "So, simply what happens first and foremost is that the patient, either through the browser, the UniDoc website, or through our app, chooses a doctor, be it male, female, different races, languages, etc. Once they have the appointment confirmed by the doctor, the patient just shows up at the Health Cube at the time that they requested the appointment, and they walk in. Once inside the Cube, there's a chair and a nurse, I'll call them a nurse for generality. There's a nurse on site, and the doctor is the only person who is remote. At that point, the nurse connects the doctor to the visit, and the medical visit starts."   "We have two Cubes in Ukraine right now, actually in Kyiv and at the border of Romania and Ukraine. That's been set up there since April of this year. We've already seen over 3000 patients, and a lot of it is actually being used by people in the town and for chronic diseases. On top of that, by law in Ukraine, we had to place these Cubes by the hospitals. That's a requirement. And the hospital is actually seeing a 35% decline in people going to the emergency room."  #UniDocHealth #HealthTech #RemoteHealthcare #MedicalInnovation #Telehealth #HealthcareAccess #Telemedicine #MedicalDevices #HealthEquity #DigitalHealth #RuralHealthcare #HealthcareInnovation  UniDocHealth.com Download the transcript here

View all cards mentioned in this episodeAndy and Anthony talk about the concept of power level band or range in Cubes. It's sometimes said a Cube should have a pretty even power level, with the strongest card being not too much stronger than the weakest, is a good idea. Our hosts talk about why that doesn't always make sense and strategies for making Cubes with a wide band of power that still make sense.Discussed in this episode:Regular CubeSacred GeometryRecross the PathsNeoclassical CubeBun Magic Cube100 OrnithoptersIrregular CubeIf you'd like to show your support for the show, please consider backing Lucky Paper on Patreon or leaving us a review on iTunes or wherever you listen.Check us out on Twitch and YouTube for paper Cube gameplay.You can find the hosts' Cubes on Cube Cobra:Andy's “Bun Magic” CubeAnthony's “Regular” CubeYou can find both your hosts in the MTG Cube Talk Discord.

View all cards mentioned in this episodeAndy and Anthony talk about Star Magic, a unique multiplayer format that also happens to be a way to accommodate a draft with 5 players — a notoriously awkward number.In a Star Magic game, 5 players engage in a free-for-all game with a specific win condition. The game ends when any one player eliminates the two others seated furthest from them. Players sitting next to each other are neutrally affiliated but are motivated to collaborate by their one shared enemy, or not to if another is about to defeat both of their enemies.Our hosts talk about their recent exploration of the format and how they feel it's a multiplayer experience that both applies to their own gameplay tastes, and to a typical cube not intentionally designed for multiplayer, than a full free-for-all game.Discussed in this episode:Star Magic Draft Format ExplanationStar Magic on the MTG WikiSacred GeometryRegular CubeIf you'd like to show your support for the show, please consider backing Lucky Paper on Patreon or leaving us a review on iTunes or wherever you listen.Check us out on Twitch and YouTube for paper Cube gameplay.You can find the hosts' Cubes on Cube Cobra:Andy's “Bun Magic” CubeAnthony's “Regular” CubeYou can find both your hosts in the MTG Cube Talk Discord.

View all cards mentioned in this episodeIt's been said that Cube Will Outlive Magic, but would it really? Andy and Anthony wildly speculate on the future in a thought experiment: what if Wizards of the Coast stopped existing tomorrow and no new cards were designed or printed. They theorize about how it would impact different elements of the player base and how it would impact their own relationship to the game, despite their relative independence from the flow of new cards.Discussed in this episode:King of Collectibles on NetflixNetrunnerIf you'd like to show your support for the show, please consider backing Lucky Paper on Patreon or leaving us a review on iTunes or wherever you listen.Check us out on Twitch and YouTube for paper Cube gameplay.You can find the hosts' Cubes on Cube Cobra:Andy's “Bun Magic” CubeAnthony's “Regular” CubeYou can find both your hosts in the MTG Cube Talk Discord.

View all cards mentioned in this episodeAndy and Anthony talk about Andy's latest Cube design concept. Inspired by The Ball Pit among other projects, Andy's goal is to design a desert cube where players play all but 5 cards from their pool. In other words, after the draft, player simply “Take Five” cards out of their pool and get shuffling. Andy's goal is to push players even harder to make something out of the cards they draft even if they don't obviously stand well on their own. Our hosts talk about the design process, challenges they anticipate, and potential solutions to this draft structure.Discussed in this episode:Take Five Song Recorded by the Dave Brubeck QuartetTake Five Andy's Emerging Cube IdeaThe Ball Pit100 OrnithoptersAndy's Take Five Brainstorming Videos on YouTubeGoblin Game, mono-Red No-Deckbuilding Cube by ArloPack One Slick Ones - Episode #20 including Arlo's Explanation of Goblin GameDegenerate Micro CubeSacred GeometryBun Magic CubeIf you'd like to show your support for the show, please consider backing Lucky Paper on Patreon or leaving us a review on iTunes or wherever you listen.Check us out on Twitch and YouTube for paper Cube gameplay.You can find the hosts' Cubes on Cube Cobra:Andy's “Bun Magic” CubeAnthony's “Regular” CubeYou can find both your hosts in the MTG Cube Talk Discord.

View all cards mentioned in this episodeAndy and Anthony talk about and dispel what they see as the most prevalent myths about Cube drafting and design. While the format has seen a ton of growth in the last few years, it's still not uncommon for people to think of Cube as primarily defined by the MTGO Cube. Other myths like Cube being only for the most enfranchised players or requiring exactly 8 people are still pervasive.Discussed in this episode:The Chive GuyDouble-slit ExperimentThe Top 5 Casual Formats Of Magic: The Gathering (not commander) from the Tolarian Community College on YouTubeStone Soup Draft Explanation on YouTubeMany Ways to Draft with Less than 8 Players ExplainedEpisode 277: Building the Lords of Limited Cube with Ben and Ethan of the LOL PodcastEpisode 206: The Joy of Gaming with Richard Garfield with Richard Garfield, Magic's creatorBroadcast Shuffle: The Fast Method for Shuffling a CubeThe Magic Multiverse ProjectCubes Mentioned:MTGO Vintage Cube Cube List on Cube CobraAndy's 100 OrnithoptersAquaone Powered a Heavily Altered Powered Vintage CubeAnthony's Turbo CubeAndy's Neoclassical CubeAndy's Sacred GeometryAnthony's Regular CubeCompanion CubeIf you'd like to show your support for the show, please consider backing Lucky Paper on Patreon or leaving us a review on iTunes or wherever you listen.Check us out on Twitch and YouTube for paper Cube gameplay.You can find the hosts' Cubes on Cube Cobra:Andy's “Bun Magic” CubeAnthony's “Regular” CubeYou can find both your hosts in the MTG Cube Talk Discord.

View all cards mentioned in this episodeAndy and Anthony are joined by Jane to talk about her novel Cube The Ball Pit. In this cube, every card is treated as a modal double faced card with Chromatic Sphere on the back side. On top of that, the Cube is also a desert cube, so players must draft their lands and don't have access to additional basics, and every card drafted must be played in your deck. They talk about Jane's process designing the cube and how the rules relate to the particular cards included.Discussed in this episode:The Ball PitData Generated Vintage CubeRecross the Paths Discussing the Ball PitInland Northwest Cube FestCubeConThe Dashcon Ball PitIf you'd like to show your support for the show, please consider backing Lucky Paper on Patreon or leaving us a review on iTunes or wherever you listen.Check us out on Twitch and YouTube for paper Cube gameplay.You can find the hosts' Cubes on Cube Cobra:Andy's “Bun Magic” CubeAnthony's “Regular” CubeYou can find both your hosts in the MTG Cube Talk Discord.
