Booster Draft Basics
At the start of the event players are seated in roughly equal pods of 6-11 players and given three sealed booster packs.
Players open their first pack, choose one card, then pass the remainder to the player to their left. Players then choose a card from the new pack they have received and pass that to the left. This proceeds until all cards from the first pack are select.
The process is then repeated with the second and third packs. Cards from the second pack are passed to the right, and cards from the third pack are passed to the left again.
Once all cards have been drafted players build a minimum 30 card deck following all other deck construction rules using the cards they have drafted along with provided basic cards.
When building their deck players may use a Warlord they drafted, or one from the provided basic cards. They may also use provided basic cards to fill out their starting army as needed. Only the basic cards Out of Options, Tattered Armaments, or Coward may be shuffled into your deck.
More in-depth draft procedures may be found in the Tournament and Event Rules.
