Format: Pick 2 Draft with a Twist
The best way for four players to draft! Like a traditional booster draft, each player will start with three booster packs. In Pick-Two Draft, players always select two cards from each booster pack and then pass that booster pack to the next player.
For the first booster pack, players pass the cards to their left. Once all players have selected all the cards from the first pack, they'll open a second pack, continue selecting two cards at a time, and pass the pack to their right. After all those cards are drafted, players do the same with the third pack, passing to the left again.
At the end, each player will have about 42 cards, which they can use to build a 40-card deck, adding in any basic lands they need.
THE TWIST:
Players begin each game with an emblem that states:
Mana of any type can be spent to cast Mystical Archive cards.
Special drafting rule: With each player's first pick from each pack, they also take the Mystical Archive card from that pack.
Players who finish the event with a winning record (having more wins than losses) receive a blind-pack challenge coin featuring one of five Mystical Archive art designs.
