Cube Abhors a Vacuum with Sam Cote

<p>Welcome to the 60th episode of Cuberviews, a podcast where I sit down with friends to explore the world of Magic: The Gathering cube design!</p><p>Today, I’m happy to be joined by my good friend Sam Cote to discuss a special topic inspired by the ancient philosophical concept attributed to Aristotle: “nature abhors a vacuum.” In this episode, we explore how cube can similarly “abhor a vacuum” and how you can design an environment to fill gaps in your local playgroup’s ecosystem of cubes.</p><p>We talk about examples of how this has happened in our own local playgroup, Sam’s newest project, Like Tears in Rain, which will be featured at CubeCon 2026, and much more!</p><p>I hope you enjoy the episode!
