Foundations Draft

Foundations Draft

Whether you’re taking your first steps into Magic, finishing up your Standard deck, or diving deep into Modern, Commander, and more—Magic: The Gathering Foundations is where to start playing.

Your favorite legends and Planeswalkers are here with quintessential magic from across the Multiverse. This set was made for past, present, and future Magic players, featuring products for players fresh or famous and filled with cards legal in Standard, at least until 2029!

Format: Each player receives three Foundations play booster packs. Every player will open one pack to start, pick one card, and pass the remainder to the left. This pick-and-pass repeats until there are no cards left. Players then open their second pack, pick a card, and pass to their right, etc. The last pack is passed to the left again.

After all cards have been drafted, the players will build a minimum 40-card deck with their draft pool and basic lands provided by Just Games. Your deck composition may be changed between games and matches and does not need to be “reset” to its original list at the start of each match.

Tournaments are run using the Magic Companion App. If possible, please download this app to your smartphone or tablet prior to the event and create an account (or use your Arena account if you have one). You can still participate without the app.

Magic: the Gathering is intended for ages 13+ due to complexity, but if you are younger, know the rules well, and would like to participate, please arrive 30 minutes early so the shopkeepers can assess your readiness for the tournament. This only needs to be done once, so if you’ve played here before, please disregard.

Event Policies: Advanced registration is highly encouraged to attend this event as each tournament is limited to 20 people. Please arrive at least 10 minutes early because the tournament will begin promptly at the listed start time and we like to go over set specific mechanics beforehand. Magic: the Gathering is recommended for ages 13+ but younger players who know the rules of the game and can play in a timely fashion are welcome to attend.
