Draft Commander returns with Battle for Baldur's Gate!
Experience the fan favourite commander format with an awesome draft experience! The introduction of Commander Legends allowed for a draft version of the Commander format. The newest Commander Legends set is the epic Battle for Baldur's Gate! This expansion features a ton of awesome themes, characters and monsters from the evocative world of Dungeons & Dragons! A draft is a great way to experiment and learn the cards of a set. If you're not sure how to play a draft, it is very simple.
Here is a list of everything needed to play draft:
- Three Commander Legends draft boosters per player (we recommend 4 players)
- A selection of basic lands (Plains, Islands, Swamps, Mountains, and Forests). You will mostly likely need a lot of these.
The process of setting up a commander draft is very simple:
- Each player opens a Commander Legends booster pack and picks two cards from the pack in secret
- Everyone then passes the remainder of their booster to player on their left, each player then picks a card from the pack they just received before passing again.
- These steps are repeated until all the cards in the first packs have been selected.
- This process is repeated with the second pack, but instead the remaining cards passed to the right. The third pack is once again passed to the left.
- Once all the packs have been opened and all cards selected, everyone builds a deck from the cards they have gained. You may add as many basic lands to your deck as you’d like, but each deck must have exactly 60 cards. Unlike regular commander, this format doesn't include the singleton rule and players can play as many copies of a card that they draft.
