How to draft: First, players sit around a table in a semi-circle. Each player then opens a booster pack and picks a single card without showing the other players. Each player then passes the remaining cards to the left, and continues drafting from the new cards they get from the player on their right.
Team Draft works best with six players. Before the draft, assign players to two teams and seat players alternating teams. Players draft as they would a Booster Draft. After the draft each player plays each opponent on the opposing team.
For Three Players For each pack, the first player takes a row or column, then refill it with three new, random cards. The second player then picks a set of three without refilling. The third player picks, which may be only two cards, and the rest of the cards are discarded before laying out a new pack.
You, along with everyone else at the table, open one pack each and select—"draft"—one card from that pack. Then you pass the rest of the cards to the player on your left. The packs get passed around the table until all the cards are gone. You repeat this process for the second pack, passing to the right.
To have a Booster Draft, you need three things: 3 Booster packs per player from the current draft format. 8 total players (It's possible to draft with fewer than 8, but 8 is the number needed for sanctioned Magic drafts) A healthy supply of basic lands.
Rules. Winston Draft is primarily a two-player format and is best with two players but can be played by up to four. Each player must bring three boosters (or 45 cards per player).
You definitely can build from a booster box. However, unless you're really lucky, you'll be lacking enough copies of certain cards to build any of the big meta decks.
Draft Boosters have a fixed distribution based on rarity. Currently, a regular booster pack contains sixteen cards: fifteen playing cards and a marketing card / . Of the fifteen playing cards, one is currently a basic land, ten are common, three are uncommon, and one is rare or mythic rare.
After being seated around a table, each player simultaneously opens one booster pack, selects a single card, and then passes the rest to the next player over. After all players have drafted fifteen cards, they each open their second pack, and drafting continues (sometimes in reverse order during the second pack).
