Settle in for a Magic The Gathering draft built around three packs per player. Everyone opens a pack, selects one card, then passes the remainder to the left while receiving a new pack from the right, continuing until all cards are chosen. The second pack is passed in the opposite direction, one pick at a time, and the process continues through all three packs. After drafting, players build a 40 card deck from their pool. Community lands are provided. Matches use a Swiss style format, and prizes go to the top two to four players. For this event, each participant chooses three play boosters from a variety on hand. Pack prices vary, so your buy in depends on the packs you select. The prize pool scales with attendance, with one pack per player added to prizing.
