Vintage Cube
The Vintage Cube is a popular Magic Online Cube that was introduced in 2015.[1]
Description
The Vintage Cube is a high-power cube developed by Wizards of the Coast that includes some of the most powerful and popular cards from Magic’s entire history. It includes the Power 9, all original dual lands, and some of the best creatures and planeswalkers out there.[2]
It’s updated semi-regularly by the Cube team, and has a few cards swapped out every time it’s made available on Magic Online.
The Vintage Cube can be played on Magic Online once or twice yearly when it's made available. Previously known as the “Holiday Cube” because it was only available in December, it was made available a second time in June or July. The Cube is incredibly expensive to put together unless proxied, which makes it a rare occurrence to see in paper.
Its limited availability on MTGO helps underscore its importance and localized demand when it’s actually available, which also helps reduce queue time and make it more of an “event.” While there’s occasionally a two- to three-week period where the Vintage Cube is available in the Spring, that isn’t always guaranteed.
MTG Arena equivalent, introduced in October 2025, is the Arena Powered Cube. It differs in the card pool that it uses.[3]
