Cube Engineers Episode 46: An Unexpected "The Hobbit" Cube Review

***We are back on the rails again for another exciting episode of Cube Engineers!*** In the episode, TrainmasterGT once again invites the legendary Usman Jamil to review the new Hobbit Magic: The Gathering Set for Cube! Together, the pair go there and back again to discuss all of the coolest cards in The Hobbit. Are there any new cards that we can call our precious, or will this set be relegated to the dustbins of history like the lost cities of the Second Age? Can Middle-earth manage to draw our attention away from Minnesota and Clacton? These questions and more, answered today! All Aboard! Cube Engineers is now on Patreon!
