VINTAGE CUBE CONTINUES!​

Our most popular format continues until January 25! As usual we will have a regular Swiss draft league and a single-elimination draft queue. Entry options for both events are 10 Event Tickets or 100 Play Points. The League also has an entry option of 1 Vintage Point which was granted to each active, fully-functional account (bought an Account Upgrade Kit or can fully trade/chat/play in paid events) as of December 14.

Cube design maven Carmen Handy has all of the latest updates in this article – give that a read if you haven’t already! The full card list with changes can be viewed at this page.


ALL-ACCESS ENDS TOMORROW​

We hope those of you who took advantage of All-Access the last two weeks have had fun building new decks and exploring formats you otherwise may not have tried.

All-Access and the Mythic Event Tokens will be removed from accounts tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. Pacific time (18:00 UTC). If you are in the middle of a League course with cards you no longer own at that point, you are allowed to complete that course.


MOCS SHOWCASE CHALLENGE EVENTS THIS WEEKEND​

It’s time once again to get players invited to the next round of Showcase Qualifiers in March.

It takes 40 Season 1 Qualifier Points to enter a Showcase Challenge. The Top 8 finishers in each event earn a Championship Entry Token for the event’s format plus earn Leaderboard Points toward an At-Large berth in the next Showcase! Here are the dates and times for the first group:
