Eric's Draft Format #1

Draft Format # 1 - The 8-Man Draft

While there are many different way to run a draft the most common is the 8-player Booster Draft.  Although it is designed for 8 players it can be done with as few as four.  The basics of the Booster Draft is that each player brings a certain amount of boosters (usually 3) that they then competitively draft decks from. 

• Each player opens their first booster pack, chooses and keeps one card, then passes the remaining 14 cards to the left.
• Then each player chooses and takes a card from the pack that was just passed them (from their right). 
  
• Repeat this process until all the cards form the pack are gone.
• Then repeat this entire process for each booster pack (typically 3).
  
• Then each player makes a 40 card deck using as much basic land as needed.
