How to hold a draft
« on: June 27, 2011, 09:26:55 AM »
I remember back in the day playing draft tournaments and really enjoying them, but I can't remember how it actually worked to set up your deck.  I just remember you start with something (either a starter deck or a draft pack, I can't remember) and then you open some number of packs and take one card and pass it until you build up enough cards for a deck to play.  Does anyone know exactly how it works?

Each player first opens a draft pack and examine sthe content. Then you get 3 boosters from the corresponding block, and draft them (left, right, left).

the draft pack is 29 cards, so with 3 packs, that's only 62 cards, that doesn't seem to be enough to then put a working deck together.

I suspect the deck will be 40 cards (20/20). You might also be allowed 1 free reshuffle in draft, so if you run out once, you can shuffle your discard pile into your draw deck.

That is correct Thran. It does seem small, but keep in mind you bring your own ring, ringbearer, and site path from the appropriate block. These as far as I know can be swapped with anything found in a booster if you desire.

That is correct.

And yes, with a draft you can make a deck with AS FEW AS 40 cards. You can do more if you wish.
