Post 4 - Trollandtoad draft

While the booster draft is the so-called proper way to draft a cube, there are many different ways to draft out your cards to build a deck. Doing a quick Google search, I found many different ways to draft for MtG, and i figured i'll introduce it over here


This link will lead you to the market draft, where you "buy" the cards that go to your deck. Making some changes to yugioh-fy it, I came up with the revised draft format. This format is for any number of players, but i recommend a maximum of 12, depending on time constraints.

  • Make sure you have 45 cards for each person. Each person also receives 60 credits.
  • Shuffle the total card pool into one pile.
  • Deal out 14 cards from the Draw Pile until all 14 slots are filled according to the chart below. This will assign each face up card a value. 
  • On your turn you are required to buy one of the 14 cards showing (no passing your turn), of course you are free to grab any of the $0 cards and keep your money.
  • Once you have purchased a card (creating an empty space on the table), all of the cards above it will now drop down to fill in the gaps. Finally draw the top card of the Draw Pileand refill the $4 card space. Your turn is done and the next player gets to go to Market. 
Well this is a shorter post, but there aren't many personal comments on my part. It is completely different that anything i have ever seen or tried, so I hope it would interest people to try it.
