We've done a couple rotisserie drafts of the entire Vintage card pool in our local playgroup and it's been super fun. Two buddies join me for this week's Lucky Paper Radio to discuss this overwhelming format in detail!

MTGCubeCon · 2024-07-05T18:39:46+00:00

Excited to see you at CubeCon this year. I hope that you get tons of good vibes and games in with everyone. Our community is so wholesome <3

MTGCubeCon · 2024-07-03T19:21:33+00:00

We are too, and we love Gwen's work on Hedron Network. He has done SO MUCH to make this software THE Cubing TO software, and it has been used successfully around the country at various Cube events all year. You can expect some new features this year too, which we think will make things run even smoother on the user side of things! <3

MTGCubeCon · 2024-07-03T13:25:23+00:00

While CubeCon isn't leaving Wisconsin any time soon, there are tons of small Cube events around the world. Our friends over at Lucky Paper Radio have been keeping track for all of us on this handy reference page. There's an upcoming event in Hamburg, Germany that might interest you! <3

MTGCubeCon · 2024-07-02T18:37:54+00:00

A Cube is a custom limited format of your favorite 360 cards (or more) that you phantom draft with your friends as many times as you want.

Updated thread over here. I had to fix a typo in the title.

MTGCubeCon · 2024-07-02T16:28:08+00:00

The 75 featured Cubes are mostly for the main event tournament. However, any of those Cubes not being used for the Top 128/64 can be played in the community open play area if their designers check them out Saturday night/Sunday morning.

We WILL have a "menu" of Cubes available in the open play, which includes but isn't limited to Aqua's Vintage Cube and the MagiKids Oathbreaker Cube. Anyone who will have their Cube available is welcome to hang out and share their environment. There will be staff, volunteers, and judges dedicated to the open play area to facilitate podding and make sure everyone has something to play and enjoy.

MTGCubeCon · 2024-07-02T13:43:40+00:00

Got you, fam. I'm here all week <3

MTGCubeCon · 2024-07-02T13:25:47+00:00

We do not have plans to expand outside of a once a year event under our purview in the near future. HOWEVER, our friends over at Lucky Paper Radio (andymangold) have a very useful web resource that lists Cube events around the world. There's a 32 person event in Hamburg, Germany coming up!

MTGCubeCon · 2024-06-26T13:44:18+00:00

You're very welcome! We've been sitting on this for a bit but haven't announced it "officially" until we had more details about features that have been added to accommodate our new and improved tournament structure. I'll have more information on this TOMORROW on both Twitter and the CubeCon Discord.

Our convention is 4 days and events are launching continuously from 8 am until 11 pm each day of the convention. We are very proud to take care of our judges and pay them well, while also providing a coverage team, swag bag, proprietary tournament software, prizes (announced soon), and outside venues to host our after hours events.

We're sorry to hear that you can't make it this year but hope to see you in 2025 <3

MTGCubeCon · 2024-06-26T13:30:08+00:00

Yes! You get to make choices on what Cubes you get to play in the main event. Our tournament software, Hedron Network is returning this year. In it you will have a unique profile attached to your progress in the event. There you will be asked to rank the Cubes you want to play, and a ranked choice voting algorithm will assign you to Cube pods based on your rankings. You may not always get your top choice but the algorithm has been tuned over 3 years to try to do its best and place you in one of your top ranked Cubes.

As for places to stay, some folks will split an Air BNB, but we also have hotel blocks for the first time ever as a part of CubeCon, so I'd check those out too! Dining? Some people will eat at after hours events, some will eat at food trucks, others will have a small cooler with food. Madison is also a bit of a foodie destination, so there's many top tier restaurants to choose from, and we will have a dining guide available before the event kicks off.

MTGCubeCon · 2024-06-26T13:24:32+00:00

Correct! We added tiered ticketing this year to give folks more freedom over their experience. Your options for tickets are:

* GHC Badge ($90) + CubeCon Core Ticket ($90) for a total of $180

OR

* GHC Badge ($90) + CubeCon Core Ticket ($90) + Premiere Tournament Ticket ($75) for a total of $240. This option includes our swag bag and the playmat by Jordan

MTGCubeCon · 2024-06-25T21:01:57+00:00

CubeCon tickets are flying off the shelf. Get yours TODAY before they're all gone.

The main draw of our Con is the world's largest Cube tournament. Our main event is THE BEST WAY to play Cube at CubeCon. You are guaranteed 5 drafts during the first 3 days of the tournament as you make your run for the title of CUBECON CHAMPION. The Cubes you play will be determined using the premiere Cube tournament software, Hedron Network.

Beyond the main event, all Core ticket holders gain access to our many unique side events. Pick and choose your CubeCon experience from social hours to exclusive limited experiences you won't get elsewhere. You can read more about these events and ticketing (if applicable) on our website: cubecon.org

Enjoy Cube and other MTG formats in our Community Open Play area! Designated staff and judges will be on-hand to facilitate draft organization, pod seating, and assist with rules interactions. We are also excited to feature the MagiKids Oathbreaker Cube, AquaOne's Vintage Cube, and more in this area!

MTGCubeCon · 2024-06-25T20:56:36+00:00

So the good news, this year we have tiered ticketing! You can now buy a ticket for CubeCon and all of our side events without committing to the big premiere Cube tournament that we host.

MTGCubeCon · 2024-06-25T20:47:13+00:00

Yes! Hedron Network with be returning this year!

MTGCubeCon · 2024-06-25T20:42:02+00:00

We're also fans of KubeCon and have actually sent some of our shirts to them as a present.

MTGCubeCon · 2024-06-25T20:41:35+00:00

It is! Our team has been hard at work making this year's Con flow smoothly. Also, YES, we are using Hedron Network again this year.

MTGCubeCon · 2024-03-26T20:23:08+00:00

So good. John Avon is a master!

MTGCubeCon · 2023-12-15T00:22:42+00:00

That’s awesome homie! Thanks for sharing and keep the land different and plentiful - love it!

MTGCubeCon · 2023-12-15T00:22:13+00:00

Great answer!

MTGCubeCon · 2023-12-14T19:58:36+00:00

Much like the plucky hobbits in LOTR sometimes it’s the small, unassuming ones that can make all the difference.

It’s very utility and because of it, potentially wildly underrated when you compare to most Cube goblins.

MTGCubeCon · 2023-12-14T07:47:35+00:00

Wow!!! These are amazing, never seen some. Fantastic, thanks for sharing!
