I'm VERY excited to announce that I'll be going to #CubeCon2025 in Madison, WI, in a little over 3 weeks! I LOVE cube drafting, & @cubecon.org has up to FOUR days of it, over *90* cubes, & a competitive "Main Event"! Learn more & get tickets at cubecon.org/CubeCon2025/... .

CubeCon is only a month away! That means our Bar Cube nights are right around the corner! Get your Battle Boxes, Judge Towers, DanDans, or whatever other fun format you’ve cooked up ready to go- submissions close in just two weeks. #cubecon2025 #mtgcube

Cube-E-oke is back for Cubecon 2025! Tickets include your cover to the bar, access to karaoke, and door prizes! Food available on site until 10 at Hank's Burger and fish fry. Come sing a spell!

Win a draft of Melded Mardu Monarchy at @cubecon.org 2025 and one of these Mardu cubes will be yours.

The CubeCon Open Play team wants YOU to volunteer to make this year the best Cubed year yet! You'll be helping check cubes in and out of our library, organize play groups, and help attendees have the best CubeCon experience! Plus, your badge is on us for the whole weekend!

Our last pack for the week comes from the Ban Shuffling Cube, by Max McCall. It doesn't have anything that makes you search your library! What would you pick from among all these fine opti -- AW GEEZ

Happy Friday! Let us help you start your weekend by starting you off with a pack from the Innistrad to Eldritch Moon Golden Age Standard Cube, which time-capsules the best of the best from the 2011-2016 Standard era. What's catching your eye here?

Today's Main Event entrant is The Control Cube, designed by Kyle Ferguson. This environment demands judicious resource management, making for a lot of tough gameplay decisions! I'm definitely sure this time that *this* choice will be tough also -- how would you start this draft?

Our next Cube to showcase as part of the main event is The Chicago Cube, designed by Kyle Fouchey, Conor Salinas, and Sam Ives. This is an intricate cube with lots of cross-synergies: every pack is sure to have many interesting ways to start the draft! Which would you choose?

Our next cube to show off is the Aeneid Cube, Agarikhan's homage to Odyssey block that seeks to ramp up the graveyard synergies as much as possible. What would be your pick from this pack?

Due to popular demand, Bar Cube is back for TWO nights this CubeCon! Submissions are now open for this event, so get ready to show off your favorite bar cube, battlebox, DanDan variant, all-un-sleeved-Un-cards, or whatever else you’ve got! #CubeCon2025 Fill out the form below!

Good morning, cubers! Let's recap some of the Cubes you can expect to find at CubeCon 2025. Noah Mickel's Alt History Powered Cube is a Magic-IP-only take on a vintage environment. Without the pesky initiative to get in the way of the bangers, what would you pick?

There are so many things to do at CubeCon#2025 this year! Bar Cube, Value Vintage, Commander Sealed, and more! What are you most excited for? Check out everything we have in store: cubecon.org/cubecon2...

Our first poll is about to open! The Cube Flavored poll features a sampling of no-frills offerings that want to deliver a classic cube experience. Make sure you get your votes in before the poll closes on Wednesday 6/11 at 9:00am! Link to the poll below!

The bracket is set! Voting will begin Monday June 9th at 9am CDT. This year will be similar to last year's voting with a few small tweaks. We're still using our STAV - Single Transferable Adjusted Voting Algorithm this year but we will be running Polls in 3 stages.

The final staff pick comes from BK, we have Warren Fish's @xoanon.net Melded Mardu Monarchy cube. This cube is about high-octane frenzies, efficient synergies vs. tap-out greed. Chase your dreams by crushing your opponents'. How would you start? #CubeCon2025 #mtgcube

A cube selected by LPR, we have Triske's (@triske.bsky.social)El Classico cube! Tired of instant win combos, free spells, and emblems? Fret no longer, as the El Classico cube presents a lower power experience focused on meat and potatoes magic. How would you start? #CubeCon2025 #mtgcube

Community spotlight from VML, we have Sophie Harris' @glassblowings.bsky.social Budget Synergy Cube. Wish your limited archetype was more juiced? This cube takes classic limited archetypes like izzet spells, rakdos sacrifice, and golgari self-mill and turns them up to 11. P1P1? #CubeCon2025 #mtgcube

A staff pick from Jenn, we have Joseph Van Den Berg's (@Hardcasting.bsky.social) Brooding Saga! A cube dedicated to the stories told by Sagas. With strategies like Recur, Blink, Counter manipulation and more, there are tons of ways to play in this cube. How would you start? #CubeCon2025 #mtgcube

Our next cube, selected by Lords of Limited, is @sampratt.bsky.social's (Paper-Legal) Arena Cube. Consisting of only cards that can be played online or in paper, it includes sweet build-arounds and good clean fair magic. Don't be fooled by the Arena only limitation, this is a powerful card pool!

Lets take a walk down memory lane with Gavin Verhey's (@gavinverhey.bsky.social) Museum of 2000-2003 Cube. It is meant to encapsulate Standard in the early 2000s, after the Urza block rotated out but before 8th edition with its new card frame. How would you start? #mtgcube #CubeCon2025
