I'm pulling away from the curb because I dropped my son off at school.

We all know what that means. It's time for other drive to work.

Okay, so today is on the history of draft.

So there are many ways to play magic.

A very popular way is draft. The most popular of draft is what's called booster draft. So I'm going to

talk today about sort of the history of draft, how draft became, talk a little bit about how we

designed for draft, and then talk about a bunch of different ways to draft for some of you that

might not have tried some of them. Okay, so the history of draft. So first, what is draft, for those that don't know?

The idea is magic can be broken into two categories, limited and constructed.

Constructed means before I come to the tournament I'm playing or wherever I'm playing,

I build my deck ahead of time.

There's some rules about how to build it.

Limited means I do not bring cards to the event.

I open cards out of usually sealed stuff that are cubes and things that are similar.

But the idea is that I don't have the cards ahead of time.

I'm sort of having the cards.

And then limited breaks into two categories, sealed and draft.

Sealed is I just open what I open.

I have some number of packs.

I open them, and I build a deck out of what I open.

Draft means, there's some means by which I'm choosing what I want to play with.

And there's a bunch of different ways to draft.
