What is cube drafting?
A cube draft in Magic: The Gathering is a custom draft format where players draft from a curated collection of cards, often called a "cube," instead of booster packs. Think of it as a self-contained draft experience designed by a community member.
About the Event:
Proud to announce the Inland Northwest’s first official MTG Cube event, right here in Spokane, WA! Join us this July 19-20th at the Hillyard Union Building for two days of creative cubes, friendly faces, peculiar prizes… plus a full service coffee shop, taproom, and restaurant, with more within walking distance.
This is NOT a cutthroat event—there will be no official cut to top 8, nor prizing directly based on ranking. Prizing will be via a ticket wall, raffle prizes, and creative side activities (plus the now-ubiquitous trophy pins for winning your draft pods). The goal is for 64 players to have as many enjoyable matches as possible, not to establish one player as champion.
This Year’s Cube Roster:
Cube selection is still underway, based on continuing cube submissions from attendees. There is GUARANTEED to be at least:
A powerful, vintage-adjacent cube (play with real Dual Lands!)
An old-bordered cube (play like the 90’s never died!)
A power-limited environment, e.g. Peasant/Pauper/“These Are Just Decent Cards, OK?”
A heavily Artifact-focused cube
…and four to eight more of your wildest dreams.
Note to Cube Curators: If you would like your cube to be featured at INW CubeFest 2025, please purchase a ticket, then submit your cube(s) for consideration via the INW CubeFest Discord server (link sent via your ticket confirmation email). If you can ONLY make the trip to Spokane if your cube is accepted, please contact our event organizer at: January.L.McKinney@gmail.com
