Cube is a way of playing Magic: the Gathering where players build their decks from a curated set of cards known as a cube. A cube might be themed around a specific format, set, mechanic, or even a single card. This makes Cube the ideal way engage with the aspects of the Magic that you enjoy, while avoiding those that you don't.
The cards are provided by the designer of the cube, so players don't need to purchase anything to play. Cube is an excellent way for newcomers to experience Magic without having to invest huge sums of money into building and maintaining a collection.
The Cube community creates a wealth of content for players to learn from.
