WHAT IS DRAFTING ALL ABOUT ?

 

At the start of a Booster Draft, each player opens a booster pack and picks the card he or she wants from it. (You can't see the cards that the other players draft.) Then each player passes the rest of the pack to his or her left. You pick up the pack that was passed to you, select a card, and pass the rest to your left. This process continues until all the cards have been drafted. Next, each player opens a second pack, but this time, you pass the pack to your right. After all those cards are drafted, you open the third pack and pass to the left again.

 

Once all the packs have been drafted, players build decks from the cards they selected, adding as many basic lands (Plains, Islands, Swamps, Mountains, and Forests) to their decks as they like (you can borrow basic lands from Outpost for the occasion !) Each deck must have at least 40 cards.

 

Each pair of players then plays a match, which consists of the best two out of three games. In the next round, the winners play against other winners (and the losers against the losers, if you like). The player who wins all three rounds—or all three matches—is the winner.

 

It's a great way to spend a few hours with your buddies.

 

 

WHAT IS THE STANDARD FORMAT ?

 

Every player brings his or her own constructed deck to a Standard Event.

 

Constructed decks must contain a minimum of sixty cards. There is no maximum deck size; however, you must be able to shuffle your deck with no assistance. If a player wishes to use a sideboard, it must have fifteen or less cards.

 

With the exception of basic land cards, a player’s combined deck and sideboard may not contain more than four of any individual card, counted by its English card title equivalent. All cards named Plains, Island, Swamp, Mountain, and Forest are basic.

 

The following card sets are permitted in Standard tournaments:

- Fate Reforged (effective january 23, 2015)

- Khans of Tarkir

- Magic 2015

- Theros

- Born of the Gods

- Journey Into Nyx

There are no cards banned in Standard tournaments.
