Magic Presents: It’s Turtle Time! at Gnome Games Green Bay East – $35

Cowabunga, dudes! It’s Turtle Time!

Join us at Gnome Games Green Bay East for a special Pick-Two Draft event featuring Magic: The Gathering | Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

April 11th at 1:00pm
$35.00 Entry

This unique Pick-Two draft features a TMNT-flavored twist to add some variety to Draft!

All players will be seated into a pod of four, and each player will receive three Play Booster packs of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Once cards are drafted and decks are built, players will play in two rounds to see who can go undefeated and win an exclusive promo card!

What is Pick-Two Draft?

The best way for four players to draft! Like a traditional booster draft, each player will start with three booster packs. In Pick-Two Draft, players always select two cards from each booster pack and then pass that booster pack to the next player. For the first booster pack, players pass the cards to their left. Once all players have selected all the cards from the first pack, they’ll open a second pack, continue selecting two cards at a time, and pass the pack to their right. After all those cards are drafted, players do the same with the third pack, passing to the left again. At the end, each player will have about 42 cards, which they can use to build a 40-card deck, adding in any basic lands they need.

Disney Lorcana Draft Saturdays Gnome Games Green Bay East – $35

Disney Lorcana Drafts are now weekly at Gnome Games Green Bay East! Every Saturday at 11 a.m we’ll be drafting Disney Lorcana!

We’re playing 3 rounds of draft, and every round that you win your match, you win a pack! Matches are best 2 of 3 games within the 50 minute time limit.

All the packs drafted will be the newest set, Ursula’s Return! Drafting Disney Lorcana uses 4 booster packs for each player and requires at least 6 players. For the first pack, each player opens the pack, selects one card to add to their card pool, then passes the remaining cards to their left. Then they collect the pack from their right, select a card, and pass the remaining cards to their left. Card selection continues in this manner until all cards from the pack have been drafted. The direction of passing reverses for each pack: the second pack is passed to the right, the third pack is passed to the left, and so on. Once all packs have been drafted, each player’s picks become their completed card pool for deck construction.
