Introducing... Seasons!

WELCOME TO HAWAII CUBE LEAGUE

Welome to the league - because buying over-priced singles to play mediocre constructed decks wasn’t working out for you.

This is pure, curated, cardboard combat. Here you can lose to cards you didn’t even know existed, in a format you only pretend to understand.

Think you're clever? Prove it. Think you're lucky? You’re not. Join the league and find out whether you’re a mastermind… or if your ‘draft strategy’ gets exposed for the guesswork it is.

"I thought I knew how to design a draft set until these sickos showed up..." -Mark Rosewater

Try it, punk.

NOV 17th
ACE Cube

This cube is jam-packed with 20 different intentional archetypes and can also support as many unintentional archetypes as you can invent! Card pools overlap significantly between decks, so the opportunity cost of each pick is intensified exponentially. Every game will have you solving mind-bending puzzles and piecing together Rube Goldberg machines of absolute value in an unpredictable, edge-of-your-seat experience.

DEC 1st
Fray's PRE-Covid Pauper Cube

Welcome to 2019! A carefully curated draft experience built entirely from commons printed up to just BEFORE WoTC started the FIRE design philosophy. This cube strips away the inflated power creep and bloated mechanics of modern sets, bringing you back to the fundamentals: tight gameplay, intricate combat, and meaningful decisions.

FAQ

What is Cube Draft?
A cube is a curated collection of MTG cards selected to provide a balanced and diverse drafting pool.

Cube drafts typically play out like any other draft: players recieve 3 packs of cards, each pack is drafted 1 card at a time, and a deck is created from your draft pool + basic lands.

However, unlike other "official" MTG formats, there are no fixed rules in cube drafts. Cards in a cube can be from any set, have any rarity or power level, and have any format legality! Cube owners can also choose to mix up the draft structure or include special "house rules" which can be in effect during matches.

This format is a favorite among MTG enthusiasts for its flexibility, creativity, and the chance it gives to revisit or repurpose older cards in new ways.

Examples of Cube Types
  • Vintage: The most powerful cards and degenerate strategies in MTG history. Often includes the Power Nine and power-adjacent cards (sol ring, time vault, etc).
  • Legacy: Excludes cards restricted or banned in Legacy. Powerful cards, but without the brokenness that can be found in a Vintage Cube.
  • Theme or Tribal: These cubes can be based around specific creature types (e.g. elves, goblins) or may have recurrent themes, like artifacts or graveyard synergies.
  • Budget: A $$$-restricted enviornment that provides a lower-power experience. Games tend to go a little longer and have a little more interaction. Includes pauper and artisan cubes (commons only, or commons and uncommons only).
  • Set: Aims to include cards only from specific sets or blocks to recapture those special draft enviornments from days past.

Btw, these drafts are phantom. You will need to give the cards back afterwards :P
