Structure

The format of the event will be nine rounds of Swiss rounds plus a top 8 playoff. The swiss portion is divided into three drafts, each featuring a different cube:
Two drafts on Saturday and one more draft followed by the top 8 on Sunday.

Top 8 will be single elimination vintage cube draft. The draft will be timed by one of our judges. Matches in the top 8 are untimed.

Players will be matched within their respective pods for each round, disregarding overall standings. Deck building and matches will be timed.

Side event drafts will be available for those not in the top 8.

There might also be some pre-show drafts Friday night – stay tuned!

Schwifty Cube

Schwifty is Back! Mid power Legacy cube. Interactive and decision-rich gameplay in a cube that features iconic, strong, unusual, weird and spicy cards.
