The Magic Online Championship features sixteen players battling for a share of more than $100,000 USD in cash prizes in the Standard, Modern, Cube Draft, and Born of the Gods/Theros Draft formats. Not only will the winner take home a cool $25,000 USD, but he or she will also earn a coveted invitation to the 2014 Magic World Championship in December.
This Magic Online Championship will feature a Cube Draft, and, beginning March 19, we will bring the same Cube that the competitors will be drafting to Magic Online so you can enjoy the same experience!
The Magic Online Championship Event takes place in San Francisco, CA, March 28-30, 2014. You can find complete details on the event on the 2013 Magic Online Championship Event Information page.

The next Cube runs from March 19 until April 2!
