Four ways to play, from kitchen-table casual to the sanctioned circuit.
Format 01

Bring your own 50-card deck built from any legal sets. The format of local tournaments and the Dragon Cup.

Format 02
Draft
Open packs, pick a card, pass the rest. Build your deck on the spot from what you drafted. Every seat is a new puzzle.
