Vintage Cube (540, Powered) — MTGO Vintage Cube — “The Official Fireworks”
– Vintage MTG Cube 540 (Powered / MTGO Vintage) — https://www.cubecobra.com/cube/list/modovintage
Origin / why this list exists
The Magic Online Vintage Cube is the most famous “Powered Vintage” environment—curated and updated for MTGO Cube League play. This is the list people mean when they say “Vintage Cube”: Power Nine, broken artifacts, iconic engines, and modern all-stars all in the same draft.
PrintACube’s version is a snapshot of the current MTGO list—so your group gets that exact “official” experience in paper-proxy form.
What’s in the list / how it plays
This is the high-wire act. You can draft the most disgusting combos ever printed, or you can draft brutally efficient aggro that punishes slow hands. The environment is intentionally swingy—part of the fun is that the ceiling is absurd.
Who it’s for
-
You want the headline Vintage Cube experience, period.
-
Your group enjoys explosive games and iconic stories (“remember when…”).
-
You want a cube that feels like Magic’s entire history in one draft.
Vintage Cube (540, Unpowered) — The Steve Cube — “High-Octane, No Power”
– Vintage MTG Cube 540 (Unpowered / Steve Cube) — https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/strongestcube
Origin / why this list exists
“The Steve Cube (High Octane Unpowered)” is one of the most-cited unpowered Vintage lists—often recommended as a starting point when people want that “best cards ever” feeling without Black Lotus / Moxen / Sol Ring warping every draft.
What’s in the list / how it plays
You still get real Vintage archetypes and power plays, but the gameplay breathes more. Drafting and sequencing matter more, and you’ll see fewer non-games decided by a single opener. It’s still very strong—it’s just strong in a way your whole pod can enjoy.
Who it’s for
-
You want “Vintage cube gameplay” but prefer less lottery fast mana.
-
Your group likes high power but values interactive games.
-
You want a 540 that’s iconic, proven, and easy to recommend.
Vintage Cube (720, Powered) — wtwlf123’s Cube — “The 720 That Everybody Knows”
– Vintage MTG Cube 720 (Powered / wtwlf123) — https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/wtwlf123
Origin / why this list exists
wtwlf123’s cube is one of the most-followed Powered Vintage cubes ever—maintained publicly for years, with an enormous amount of community discussion behind it. If someone says “the classic 720 powered cube,” this is often what they’re pointing at.
What’s in the list / how it plays
This is a huge powered environment that stays exciting because the depth is real: more archetypes, more overlap, more unexpected decks. You get the full Powered experience, but with extra room for niche packages and offbeat builds.
Who it’s for
-
You want Powered Vintage, but you also want long-term variety.
-
Your group drafts a lot and gets bored of smaller lists repeating.
-
You want a “flagship” cube that feels like a permanent fixture.
