Booster Draft
What is Booster Draft?
Want a way to play that offers a level playing field and lets you check out new cards at the same time? Then a limited format like booster draft may be for you. Unlike constructed formats, where you arrive with a carefully constructed deck ready to play, limited formats allow you to build a deck from new cards as part of the game.
Rules
Players each have 3 booster packs. Players open one booster pack and choose one card from the pack and then pass the remaining cards to player on their left. They will continue until all cards have been chosen from the first booster pack.
Repeat this process for the next two boosters, switching the direction in which the boosters are passed around the table. See this page for comprehensive rules.
Usage
Booster draft is a popular limited format used at Friday Night Magic.
Deck Size
Minimum of 40 cards with no maximum, as long as you can shuffle your deck unassisted.
Sideboard
All cards from the drafted cards that were not put in the main deck.
There is no limit to number of individual cards that can be played. For example, having 5 or more of an individual card is permitted.
