Tabletop Gaming

Magic the Gathering Booster Draft

Booster Draft

In the limited format known as “Booster Draft,” players pass booster packs around the table while selecting cards to build a deck. Each player is given three booster packets. A booster pack is opened, one card is selected, and the remaining cards are passed to the player to the left.

They’ll keep going until they’ve selected every card from the first booster pack. Switch the direction in which the boosters are carried around the table when you repeat this process with the following two boosters. Everyone constructs a deck using the cards they have chosen after all the packs have been picked.

Each deck must contain at least 40 cards, but you may add as many basic lands (Plains, Islands, Swamps, Mountains, and Forests) as you wish.

Chaos drafts will be conducted as unofficial, one-game Conspiracy-style competitions. Prizes are given out in real-time dependent on who eliminates a player in this multi-player game, which is played in pods of up to four players. This activity costs $15 and will take place on Saturday 11 AM and 3 PM and is sponsored by Mikal Peterson

The Brothers’ War Sealed

Your 40-card minimum deck will be constructed from the Prerelease Pack’s card pool. They will be offered basic lands. Either a single multi-player Conspiracy-style game or a player vs. player, three-round Swiss tournament will be used to host this event.

This will be a three-round competition with prizes awarded according to your win/tie points if there are at least 8 participants. If there are fewer than 8 participants, the tournament will be conducted as a multi-player single game in the Conspiracy format, with prizes. This activity will take place on Saturday 1PM and is sponsored by Craving for a Game and costs $30
