Herxheim, July 17th 2024 – Ultimate Guard has teamed up with Daybreak Games to bring the ultimate Vintage Cube experience to the Magic: The Gathering community. The "Magic Online Vintage Cube Live!

A series of qualifiers for the final draft will be held exclusively on MTGO over the next two months. The eight qualified finalists will receive travel and accommodation as well as a badge for MagicCon: Las Vegas 2024. For detailed information on the qualifying structure, visit mtgo.com. The final draft will be held as a Rochester Draft and will be broadcasted live by high-profile commentators.

"Ultimate Guard is much more than just a supplier of TCG accessories. We love the community, we love making events memorable, and most of all, we love the game. Being able to offer this unique event to the community makes us extremely proud and happy," says Daniel Enders, Head of Marketing Ultimate Guard.

The "Magic Online Vintage Cube Live! Powered by Ultimate Guard" will feature all the iconic Vintage Cube cards, including the full Power 9, all original dual lands, and other legendary cards like Library of Alexandria, Mishra's Workshop, or Mox Diamond. You can find a full list of all the cards that are guaranteed to be in the Cube at mtgo.com. The finalists will get to keep all the cards they draft during the final event. But there is more! In addition to that, all the cards from the 540-card Cube that didn‘t get opened during the draft will serve as prizes, meaning that every single card from the $65.000 Cube will end up in the hands of the qualified players!

The event in Las Vegas will be scheduled so that it does not overlap with the Magic World Championship taking place at MagicCon as well, so that players qualified for Worlds will have the opportunity to participate as well.
