Magic: Friendly Neighborhood Friday Night Draft! – Green Bay West

Friendly Neighborhood Draft

Ultimate Green GoblinEveryone knows Spider-Man is the friendly neighborhood hero! Well in his honor, Gnome Games and Wizards of the Coast invite you to a season of Friendly Neighborhood Drafts! Each Friday night during the Spider-Man season Gnome will be hosting these special drafts!

Friday, November 7th
$30
Pick-Two Draft style event.
Event Code: 7G8YMZY

Unlike traditional eight-player drafts, Pick-Two Drafts allow each player to select two cards per pick, reducing the number of participants needed while maintaining strategic depth and fun. Games are played in pods with a minimum of four players; recommended pods based on attendance this way:

  • 3–7 players: 1 pod
  • 8–11 players: 2 pods
  • 12–15 players: 3 pods
  • Etc.

Players then compete in two rounds of Swiss. The undefeated (2–0) player from each pod should receive the event promo card (while supplies last).

What is drafting?

How to Pick-Two draft:

First, players sit around a table in a semi-circle. Each player then opens a booster pack. Remove a token, art card, or advertising card. Then pick two cards without showing the other players.

Each player then passes the remaining cards to the left, and continues drafting from the new cards they get from the player on their right. This continues until all of the cards in those packs have been distributed (drafted). Then each player opens a second pack, but this time, pass the pack to the right. After all those cards are drafted, you do the same with the third pack, passing to the left again. At the end, each player will have about 45 cards (along with any number of basic lands) which they can use to build a 40 card deck.

Gnome Games provides basic lands for the purpose of building decks (Plains, Islands, Swamps, Mountains & Forests) as each player needs.
