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.

PEASANT OLDBORDER

Eli's Peasant Oldborder cube.

The best premodern era (4th to scourge) cards printed at common or uncommon at some point. The goal is powerful, but not broken. A nice playground for old cards that used to be good enough, but have lost their place in modern era cubes or eternal formats.

INNISTRAD REMASTERED

Jaymie's Innistrad Remastered list.

This cube is meant to pay homage to the theme and game play of the Innistrad Blocks, while also having its own unique feel and play style. Any card that is themed on Innistrad is eligible for inclusion, even if not originally available in a standard legal set.

Oooh.. Spooky

FAQ

What is Cube Draft?
A cube is essentially a curated collection of MTG cards which were pre-selected by a designer to provide a balanced and diverse drafting pool.

Cube drafts typically play out like any other draft: players recieve 3 packs of 15 cards, each pack is drafted 1 card at a time, and the resulting deck is created from your draft pool and any additional basic lands you'd like to add.

However, unlike other "official" MTG formats, there are no fixed rules in cube. Cards may come from any set, have any rarity, have any power level, and have any format legality! Each designer may 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). A truly unique experience.

  • 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 afterards :P

Can I just show up? Is there an entry fee?
Yes! Show up! There is no entry fee, all of our games are hosted free of charge and we provide everything you need to play.

As a courtesy you can join our Discord and let us know you're coming. But it's not required.
What if there are too many people?
We always have a backup cube on hand to handle overflow participants but it may not be similar in playstyle to what's on the schedule. You can reserve a spot for the main cube by letting us know you're gonna show up on our Discord.
Can I bring my Cube to play?
Sure, feel free to bring your own cube. Although, we don't usually have enough regulars to consistently fill a second cube... If you want to get on the schedule and have your cube be the main event, let us know on Discord.
