- This page is about all draft formats. For the most common draft format, see Booster Draft.
Draft or Card drafting is the process where players pick cards from a limited subset, such as a common pool, to gain some immediate advantage or to assemble hands of cards that are used to meet objectives within the game. With the introduction of the designed-for-digital Spellbook mechanic in Alchemy: Innistrad, Draft became a nominal keyword action.
Description
Games where cards are simply drawn from a pile are not card drafting games - drafting implies that players have some sort of choice.
The most commonly known draft format in Magic: The Gathering is Booster Draft.[1] But there are many casual variants, as well. Examples are Auction Draft [2] Flavor Draft [3], Chaos Draft[4] and Conspiracy Draft.
Draft matters
Conspiracy has a "draft matters" theme.
