Long Live Cube!

The Cube Format

Cube is a limited format in Magic: The Gathering where players draft from a pool of cards much like standard retail drafts from booster packs.

Cube differs from retail draft in one big way. In cube you don't draft from boosters sold by Wizards of The Coast, but rather from a custom curated set (a cube) owned by another player.

Here are a few of the things I love about cube:

• You can make the fun thing, the powerful thing: Remember all those cards that you LOVE but don't get to put in your constructed decks because they're not good enough for competitive play? If you build a cube, you can make them viable, or even powerful!
• More sets: Every single cube, just like every set released by WoTC is a unique experience to draft.
• Cost: You don't have to pay upwards of $20 just to draft. As cube drafts don't use sealed product drafting is usually cheap or even free.

Cube in Launceston

My name is Declan and I host weekly cube drafts at Scenic Isle Gaming in Launceston. Drafts are free to enter, and the winner gets $20 store credit. The draft starts at 6:00PM sharp every Wednesday.

I maintain by own cube called Clang , an interactive, combat-focused environment heavy on threats and all kinds of interaction.

I'll have my cube on me every week, but if you'd like to draft your own cube, bring it along too! I want this to be an event where we have many different cubes to pick from.
