## Definition

In _Magic: The Gathering_, a **Cube** is a curated, custom-built pool of cards put together by a player, typically used as the drafting pool for a game format.

In this channel's material, **Cube** appears in the context of *Magic: The Gathering* — the trading card game. A Cube is a **player-built pool of cards**, assembled specifically for draft play, rather than the pre-packaged card pools used in most Magic formats. Because a Cube is chosen card by card by its creator, each one reflects the builder's own taste and intended play experience.[^23e9ce0a-e8a6-56d2-b909-12a8202b0a08@0]
