Introductions and Info about the MTG Cube being used

I will be bringing all cubes for each event and providing basic lands as well.

Drafting or Sealed pack distribution

Depending on the number of people that show, we will either be drafting from the cube (3 Packs per player) or playing sealed (6 Packs per player).

Deck Building

This is the time when everyone will be able to build their decks or make cuts from drafting.

Every person will play everyone once. If 6 or 8 people show we will conduct a team draft, 3v3 or 4v4, any other number of people will result in a single elimination bracket.

About this event

  • 7 hours

Want to play Magic: the Gathering but can't afford to play or you dont have 7 other people to play with? Come down to Redemption Rock brewery in Worcester Ma where you can play for FREE!

All that is needed is knowledge of MTG and yourself! Everything except food and drink will be provided for this event and the winner even gets a prize!

I wanted to create an event where people could play magic without a cost. MTG, as many of you know, has become incredibly expensive and almost unattainable for a lot of people. Most people aren't able to get 7 other people together to have a full draft pod that isn't online or at a convention.

Limited play is by far my favorite MTG format, I want to share what I can and make this game accessible to all who want it.

I had a lot of fun creating all my cubes, which you will be seeing in the beginning, and I hope to inspire people to make their own cubes and bring them to future events! Feel free to follow my cubes on Cube Cobra listed below.

Pauper Cube - Commons only

Artifact Cube - So many artifacts

OG Ravnica+ Cube - Original Ravnica block with some bonuses

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to bring cards of my own or money to play?

No, all cards will be provided and you only need to bring money if you would like to purchase drinks or food.

Do I get to keep the cards we play with?

No, all cards are from my personal collection and all cards provided are needed for further use for the cube.

Is there any prize support for the overall winner?

Yes, the person with the best record at the end of the night will be able to choose a commander deck Precon. If there is a tie both people will get one!

Is there parking?

Yes, there is street parking for free next to the brewery. Redemption Rock Brewing also has parking info on their website https://www.redemptionrock.beer/contact-us/#parking

What is a Magic: the Gathering Cube?

An MTG cube is a collection of cards that are put together with synergies and archetypes in mind. There can be specific restrictions that limit the types of cards in that collection such as only commons, lots of artifacts, or only cards used from specific sets.

I've never heard of Draft or Sealed, what are they?

A draft is typically 6-8 players, every player will have 3 packs of 15 cards each. All players will open 1 pack, choose one card, and then pass it to the next person. Sealed is where each player will receive 6 packs of 15 cards each, then build a deck. Both formats use 40 card decks.

I am very new to MTG, would I have a good time?

Absolutely! We do require you to have at the very least an understanding of how to play MTG, but after that I can help you with any questions you may have! I want to introduce players to these formats and provide an experience that typically isn't available.
