Celebrate and rejoice! The Magic Online Cube returns after tomorrow's Magic Online downtime! We initially announced its return on the Magic Online blog, but here's a quick review.
START TIMES: On demand beginning after the downtime on Wednesday, May 1, until the downtime on Wednesday, May 8.
LOCATION: Limited Queues room.
ENTRY OPTION(S): 8 Event Tickets OR 2 Event Tickets and 10 Cube Tickets.
PRODUCT: Magic Online will provide 3 Phantom Magic Online Cube booster packs for this event. Cards that players draft and play with in a Phantom event are NOT added to those players' collections.
SIZE: 8 Players.
DURATION: Drafting and deck building time plus 3 rounds, single elimination OR 3 rounds, Swiss pairings, depending on event entered.
PRIZES: Prizes for single-elimination events are based on placement at the end of the tournament. Prizes for Swiss pairing events are based on the total match points at the end of the tournament. Each match win awards 3 points and each match loss awards 0 points.
So that's great and all, but what if you've never played with the Cube on Magic Online? Well, think of it as another Magic set that is made up of cards you've seen and perhaps never had the opportunity to play with. These cards come from a variety of Magic sets and thus when combined create a new and exciting draft environment.
As a phantom event it means the events require fewer tickets to enter, but you don't get to keep the cards that you draft. You do, however, get prizes for the event as described below.
