This was another successful Legacy event at The Mana Vault and there’s many more to come!
The Peasant+ Cube, first built in 2012, may be one of the only ever to be part of a marriage proposal!
"We once seeded a draft so my friend got Booster Tutor, and then he cast it against his then girlfriend and ask her to marry him using custom cards we made," Eric says.

This new prizing replaces the early advertised 1st place price of $200 store credit

Peasant+ has gone through many changes over the years and currently sits at 450 cards. It was featured at

With the exception of the revised dual lands and Morphling, every card in the OBF Cube is a retro frame foil. Most are "old" as well, printed from 1995-2003, but Jeff has included a small # of cards given the old border treatment since its revival by
@wizards_magic
in 2021
4/6
Rainbow Synergy, designed by Madisonian Kyle Vjorn, began as a legacy cube in 2015. It's since become the "multicolor mechanical focused cube" it is today.
"Players should expect to be playing 3-5 colors to build complex webs of interactions between the cards,"
@AetherVjorn
says
Since the cube's recent completion, Alex has converted many of the commander players in his Elgin, IL playgroup into lovers of Cube!
"Lately we've turned up the heat on each other and have been drafting the cube heavily," Alex says.
More sample packs of what you might see:
These bonus eggs allow drafters to prep special dishes, but sometimes they won't cook quite right!
In the Egg Cube, "enablers are strong & the payoffs are relatively weak," Shariq says. "I want people to draft decks that feel cool, but also just a teeny bit clunky."
2/4
"The Old Border Foil Cube is a love letter to some of the most gorgeous, classic cards ever made," says Jeff. "Few things bring me greater joy than sharing this Magic passion project with the community"
2/6
We are announcing that temporarily we are PAUSING the Hotlist!
Buyrates are back to normal from today on until further notice! Thank you so much to everyone who participated and sold us some of your cards! It really means the world to us and our inventory is better than ever!
I'm too tired to reformat this for Twitter rn. But here's

rundown
@TheManaVaultMKE
. A ton of work, but a labor of love and real community effort. Love you all!!
If you want to be apart of the next event it’s not too late! We are hosting a 4 Dual Land Legacy tournament Sunday February 18th for our 1 Year Anniversary!
You can register for that event here!
