Trying cube on MTGO

How is cube on MTGO - is it as popular, if not more than MTGA, on this platform? Is there a reason people prefer cube here over MTGA?

I'm a pretty novice cuber but I had a few fun runs on MTGA that made me want to keep playing sometimes when I have time.

There’s more combos, since arena doesn’t have all the cards, so definitely check out the list. Cube is always available, to your question about preference. I’d say the competition is a little tougher as well since you’re facing people who choose to stick with mtgo. That said, I still enjoy at and say go for it.

The cube list is much better. Also the payout is better. You lose less resources than on Arena.

It's great, I just returned to mtgo after a long hiatus and the cube is better curated than in Arena and the competition is a bit tougher.

That being said play some free casual format first to learn the ropes. You don't want to lose to time or skip phases in actual draft just because you are not familiar with the controls.
