Silent Auction Draft

For this game you will need three 15-card booster packs or its equivalent (45 cards) for each player playing. It is recommended to have four people per pod. 

Rules

The four players will sit in a circle with their positions chosen at random. Each pod will have a judge who will also serve as a banker and an auctioneer. This person should not be drafting. Each player will receive 3 booster packs (each player should receive the same type of packs, i.e. 1 Invasion pack, 1 Planeshift, and 1 Apocalypse) and 200 dollars (coins or fake money) from the bank for which they may bid on cards.

  • To begin the draft, player #1 will open a booster pack and spread the cards out on the table so everyone can see them. They should be laid out in three rows of five.
  • Each player will be given a draft form for each pack opened that should look like this:

  • After each pack is opened each player will record his bid amount in the space provided for each card. A player’s total amount bid may not exceed the total amount of money the player has remaining. For example if you only have $50 left then your total on the sheet above may not be higher then $50.
  • After each round of bidding the banker will collect the bid sheets and inform the players who won the bid for each card (the winning bid amount will be announced) and inform each of them how much money they have left in their bank account. In the event of a tie, priority will be given to the player with the most amount of money left in his bank before the start of the round. In the event of a tie in the amount of money, the player who opened the pack will be given priority and the person to his left will have second priority and so on. The person with the highest priority will get the card.
  • After that pack is completed player #2 will open his pack and follow the above procedure. Continue until all 12 packs have been drafted.
  • Please note after the draft how much money each player has left in his bank.
  • Once each table has drafted all 12 packs, players will construct a  40-card minimum deck from the cards they have drafted. They may add as many basic lands as necessary.
  • When playing, compare the amount of money left after the draft. In each match, the person who had the most amount of money left may choose who plays first in the first game. In the event of a tie use a random method.

Sideboard

Your remaining cards are considered your sideboard. You may remove any card from your deck and add any number of cards from your sideboard, as long as your deck still meet the deck construction guide lines. At the end of your match you must return your deck to its original form. Example: After game one you decide to take 2 cards out of your deck and add 3 cards from your sideboard. At the end of the match you must return the two cards back into your deck and remove the 3 you added before you play your next opponent.

Mulligan Rules

Standard “Paris” Mulligan is used for this variant.

Before each game begins, a player may, for any reason, reshuffle and redraw his hand, drawing one less card. This may be repeated as often as the player wishes, until he has no cards left in his hand. After the participant, who plays first, mulligans as often as he likes, the decision of whether to mulligan passes to the other player. Once a player passes the opportunity to mulligan, that player may not change his mind
