Open packs, pick cards, build a deck on the fly
Draft is a limited format where players open booster packs and take turns selecting cards to build a deck on the spot. It tests card evaluation, adaptability, and in-game skill. No collection needed — just show up and draft.
Each player opens 3 booster packs, one at a time
Pick one card from the pack, then pass the rest to the next player
Build a 40-card minimum deck from your drafted cards plus basic lands
Basic lands are provided by the store — no need to bring your own
Games are best-of-three with a Swiss pairing structure
No collection needed — everyone starts on equal footing
