Seeing as this format is coming back in Arena and probably will do so again later, I'm curious as to where it should go. It's not constructed or limited because players have no deckbuilding agency. It's had an event as a Workshop, an FNM at home, and now as a Festival, so the payout and entry fees differ each time. | Seeing as this format is coming back in Arena and probably will do so again later, I'm curious as to where it should go.

A quick rundown is that you start with an emblem that gives something like the [[Mental Magic]] utopia land rule, and players are dealt an 180 card deck with basically whatever Historic-format cards the developers wanted to put in it, typically cube-level quality.

Hi, not sure if this reaches anyone, but I have another draft / limited format that is not listed here. It's called Grid Draft and I use it mostly with a Cube. It can be used with booster packs or some other set of cards as well. It's probably best for two players. It could work with three, but not more (never tried it). Here's how it works: From a pile of face-down cards, 9 cards are taken face up in a 3x3 grid. The player who picks first will pick a full row or column of three cards (diagonals are not allowed). The second player then picks another row or column. This can lead to the second player ending up picking only two cards. All cards that were not picked, are put aside and are not used in the match. This procedure is followed until the stack of cards is empty. Then they build a 40-card deck adding basic lands (if necessary). Therefore 6 Booster packs wouldn't be enough for 2 players, since 3-4 cards out of every grid aren't even used in the match.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 176.198.219.95 (talk • contribs).
- Hi. There are many formats. We usually only record those that are supported by a website with rules and have a certain following or credit standing. --Hunter (talk) 05:21, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

Seeing as this format is coming back in Arena and probably will do so again later, I'm curious as to where it should go. It's not constructed or limited because players have no deckbuilding agency. It's had an event as a Workshop, an FNM at home, and now as a Festival, so the payout and entry fees differ each time.
A quick rundown is that you start with an emblem that gives something like the Mental Magic utopia land rule, and players are dealt an 180 card deck with basically whatever Historic-format cards the developers wanted to put in it, typically cube-level quality. The decklist has certainly changed since last time given that it's very Party-focused this go-around. Where would the info for such a strange format go?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 220.238.37.16 (talk • contribs).
