You've cubed in Madison. You've cubed in New York. You've cubed in DC. Now it's time to cube slightly outside of Chicago.

Last week, we gathered, and together we created the largest Cube event of the year. Why did we do that? (🧵) #mtgcube #CubeCon2025 1/7

The sheer amount of community building that happens at events like CubeCon, Paupergeddon, and even Shoebox (March 2026) is simply remarkable - and is actually the thing that will outlive Magic more than anything else. Without it, we'd lose the most important characteristic and that is The Gathering.

The 2025 Cube Curator chat is already going off the deep end and it has only been a single day since @cubecon.org

I won CubeCon 2025! Top 8 RW Aggro deck Top 64 BR Artifact-y sac

The CubeCon Final Fortune Draft is about to begin! The top 128 players in the event will draft once more, and those with 2-1 records or better will advance. At 7:00 PM, watch the draft of Madison's own Vistas Unventured with Mani and Arya! #mtgcube #CubeCon2025

This year, CubeCon is raising money for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention in honor of our dear friend Jonathan Brostoff, who we tragically lost 1 year ago. Please consider tuning in and donating to this important cause.

Here's a sneak peak at our trophy pins this year at #CubeCon Now with more✨sparkle✨ See y'all Thursday!

Keep it on the down low, but if you find me at Bar Cube night, I'll be running games and a Contraband Competition with Prohibition - a bar cube where Blue is BANNED and you'll need to smuggle your contraband if you want to play with the most powerful spells.

It's important to remember how these chuds pretend to act respectable in order to hide their hate under completely reasonable pretenses like "I'm just wearing my silly red hat." There's a story about a bar owner written by Michael B Tager in 2020 that's worth a read if you haven't seen it before.

We still have tickets remaining for Capitol Cube Championship 2025 (September 20th in Washington, DC). The price of every remaining ticket purchased will be donated directly to @whitmanwalker.bsky.social. Get your ticket today! capitolcube.org

Had a friend who moved away visiting this week and we got to play Vistas. I removed all 2 card combos from the cube but he decided to go through the list looking for other combos and managed to 3-0 with this monstrosity. He combo’d 3 different ways during matches. Can you find them all? #mtgcube

Is this something or am I off the deep end? I guess you could get there with cube using wasteland as well #mtglegacy

Pretty hyped for another Midwest Cube event! On the website it mentions 9 drafts available with the Cube tournament ticket. How does that work? Is there a third draft on Sunday after the top64 and top8 drafts?

We’re having discourse in the cube chat about picking cards over power so I naturally had to bring up this pick I made in vintage cube (slammed the saga and didn’t look back)

Finished 5-2 in the day at @themanavault.bsky.social’s Bar-b-cube event eventually losing in the finals to @calebdmtg.bsky.social. The event had immaculate vibes and I’m thrilled to make it back for their next event. Vistas was also at the event and folks drafted some real bangers.

Rally together and play some cube in support of worker power! You can RSVP here: forms.gle/6gtnNtTAHbsG...

This is my baby and I spend way too much time on Cube Selection logistics and spreadsheet art #mtgcube

Hello #Pride ! It's me, Jordan! I make art that heavily features queer themes and AESTHETIC HANDS! Also, I'm a trans woman! <3 #mtg #mtgart #trans

When drafting Vistas Unventured you start with a small set of lands. As this cube is my love letter to Magic, I’ve picked lands that all have a special place in my heart - from one of my oldest possessions to art from my favorite magic artist. What set are you going with? #mtgcube #CubeCon2025

We actually tracked down the Dashcon ballpit and will be running all drafts of this cube from there.

Making this my "staff pick" was a bit like cheating since the non-desert version was in the main event last year. Collin submitted both a desert and non-desert version but I adored the idea of seeing P9 next to basics in a pack and jumped on picking this one. The p1p1 is exactly what I love about it

This should be true of most cube p1p1s but people under-prioritize lands in non-desert environments.

looking for a couple people in the next 30 or so minutes to start if possible

We took your feedback from last year to heart and are putting a larger emphasis on Cubes being selected through the public vote. We've also split Returning Cubes out of the Staff Picks section to add more transparency. I look forward to seeing everyone again this Fall!

White smoke has billowed from the CubeCon selection committee and the first Cube of 2025 has been added to the main event! Congratulations to @thechicagocube.bsky.social on both their new pope and another great year at CubeCon! We look forward to seeing you this fall.

I'm obligated to look at and read every submission, so if you want to keep my aging brain healthy, make sure to submit a cube! #mtgcube

Under 48 hours remain for Cube submissions so start burning that midnight oil. You have until 11:59pm CDT on Wednesday to submit your Cube for CubeCon 2025! #mtgcube

We're excited to announce that Capitol Cube Championship will be returning on September 20th! For more details or to purchase your ticket, check out capitolcube.org

Wine cube is when your opponent casts turn 1 black lotus + minsc & boo on the play.

Tickets to Vertex: Steel City 2025 are now available on our shiny new website! Join us June 28-29 at Guy on the Couch Cards & Gaming for another great weekend of cubing! vertex.mtgcu.be

You can now submit cubes for CubeCon 2025 directly from cubecon.org/submit! Log in or create a new account, click "New Submission", and fill out the form. This year the form is embedded into our website, which is also where we will manage needed updates to your submissions.

I'd like to crowdsource folks' favorite sets of (non-snow) basic lands. For Vistas I'm going to be providing a set of basics to each player and want each of them to be unique. I have a handful in mind already but I'm sure I'm missing some. #mtgcube

I knew he was transphobic, but holy shit dude go fuck yourself with a cactus

Got to run back Vistas today. Managed a 2-1 with this nonsense but was never able to achieve the full infinite 😭 #mtgcube

For those interested in submitting a cube to our event. The submission link is here! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

I wasn't expecting to still be BUG after the frog ban, but Kaito is the real deal. 🏆 #mtglegacy @fireshoes.bsky.social

If you're within travel distance of @upkeepnewyork.bsky.social, we want to see you there! They have less than 10 tickets left, so if you were on the fence about it, buy those tickets now! You'll get a chance to play several of the cubes that'll feature at BCP AND spend time with an amazing crew.

Our Cube surveys are out for Aetherdrift luckypaper.co/survey/dft/ and Aetherdrift Commander luckypaper.co/survey/DRC/. I was pleasantly surprised when I went through the card files in detail! We'd love to know what you're excited to play in your own cubes.

#mtgcube Hot Take: Pick order for desert and non-desert cubes are identical and the only thing a cube being desert does is make players pick correct card more often.

Looks like the full Aetherdrift spoiler is out. What cards are at the top of your list for #mtgcube? Are you going to add any Exhaust or Start Your Engines! cards?

The player cap for BCP 2025 has been increased!!!! Tickets are back on sale; get them while you still can! link: buy.stripe.com/3cs8zp4IN5wT...

There are a lot of very cool Start Your Engines cards but most of them follow the binary "on/off" method that Party cards back in the day followed which makes them a lot less appealing for cube. Cards like this can't really function well by themselves. How how do y'all feel about them? #mtgcube

And lastly we have a sincerely exciting update! We are fortunate to be partnering with @cubecon.org in offering our first place winner of Cube For A Cause a free entry to CubeCon! 🏆 Tickets are still live: www.upkeepnewyork.com/c4ac-aw25-ti...

Time to burn shit

My hot take after listening to (half) of this episode is that we should be drafting fewer cards to mitigate these problems rather than decreasing fixing percentage/quality. Historically packs were about a third chaff but now almost every card is playable in your main deck. (1/3)

This has been my December so far. How’s everyone else’s going?

This kozileks command card might be kinda good 😂

In a world of emblem Cubes, desert Cubes, and other novelties, return to classic good old fashioned Wisconsin Magic. This cube will feel reminiscent of traditional draft environments with a singleton break for most cards and takes heavy inspiration from Foundations #mtgcube
