Magic: the Gathering Booster Draft (CANCELED)
2022-02-06 12:00 - 17:00, 2022-02-13 12:00 - 17:00, 2022-02-20 12:00 - 17:00
Join us for our weekly booster draft for Magic: Gathering. This is a sanctioned event through Wizards of the Coast. All players, beginners and seasoned are welcome to come play!

Players must pay and register in the store by 11:45AM.
Entry for the event is $15.96, three boosters and an entry fee. All players must have a Wizards Account with a valid email address. You can create an account here:
https://myaccounts.wizards.com/register

In a booster draft, players are seated around a table and each player is given three booster packs. Each player opens a pack, selects a card from it and passes the remaining cards face down to his or her left. Each player then selects one of the remaining cards from the pack that was just passed to him or her, and passes the remaining cards to the left again. This continues until all of the cards are selected. The process is repeated with the second and third packs, except that the cards are passed to the right in the second pack. Players then build decks out of any cards that they selected during the drafting and add as many basic lands as they choose. Each deck built this way must have a minimum of 40 cards, including basic lands. Basic lands are provided.

After deckbuilding, the players are randomly matched up against an opponent and play a best two out of three games match. Players are awarded points for winning and will be matched against equally skilled players in the subsequent rounds. At the end of the tournament, booster packs or store credit are rewarded to the top three players.

We highly recommend downloading the Magic Companion App from the App or Play Store to follow along with the progress of the event from your phone!

Sellers will receive Diversions store credit for each game of theirs which sold at the highest paid bid. Credit earned from the auction sales cannot be used on other games within the auction as we will not issue sellers’ credit until all payments have been collected.

Please bid at your own risk. While we have required all games to be complete without missing or damaged pieces, we cannot verify any details about the contents of the game. We cannot field questions about the contents or conditions of individual games. There are too many games and too few resources to honor these requests, unfortunately.
