Soloman Draft

For this game you will need six 15-card booster packs or its equivalent (90 cards). 

Rules

  • Open the six 15-card booster packs without looking at them and shuffle them together.  Set these cards aside in a facedown pile.
  • Use a random method to determine who will draft first. The person who drafts last will get to choice of playing first or second in the first game. The person drafting first will be player 1 and the other player will be player 2.
  • Draw 6 cards from the pile and place them face up on the table. Player 2 divides the cards, any way he chooses, into two piles; the piles do not need to have an equal number of cards.
  • Then player 1 selects a pile, and places them in front of him, face up, in one pile.
  • Then player 2 gets the remaining cards and places them on top of his first pick, face up.
  • Continue this process with players alternating dividing and selecting.

Once you have completed the draft, build a 40-card minimum deck. You may add as many basic land as you would like.  

Typical games are played as the best out of three games.

Usually the winner of the match gets to keep all of the cards but there are many different variants to this. Some examples are:

  • You keep what you draft.
  • Both players draft the rares/foils starting with the winner of the match getting first choice. The uncommons and commons go to the winner of the match.
  • Keep what you draft but the loser pays for the next draft.

Be sure to discuss this before you start playing to avoid arguments.

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.
