Limited forum

Posted on March 6, 2017, 12:24 p.m. by Fr0sty11

getting back into magic.. Haven't played since around 2011. The group of guys who got me back into it want to do a booster draft.. They haven't done one in over a year and i haven't done one in about 5 years.

I know the ideal group is 8.. But we will only have 5or6 at this draft.

Looking at some other forums khans of tarkir seems to be a favorite in the last couple years.

Now it looks like there are 3 sets.

Khans of tarkir

Fate reforged

Dragons of tarkir

If I'm right. Which of those 3 would you suggest we buy a box from and draft.?

Or are there Any other box set you would recommend?

Fr0sty11,
Khans, unless you want to buy multiple boxes.

  • Khans of Tarkir Draft = 3 packs of Khans
  • Fate Reforged Draft = 1 pack of Fate Reforged and then 2 packs of Khans.
  • Dragons of Tarkir Draft = 2 packs of Dragons and then 1 pack of Fate Reforged.

It should be noted that the pack distribution clayperce says is what official drafts for those sets looks like.

I would recommend Conspiracy: Take the Crown (aka Conspiracy2):

Pros:

  • it's a set that has a focus on draft
  • it's built with multiplayer in mind, so you could even play a free for all kind game
  • it contains cards that are also played in modern/legacy/EDH
  • a box can be bought at msrp

Cons:

  • you can have "draft matters" cards in the rare slot

You can find the set list here

KtK is really good on its own. Never drafted FRF, but apparently it diluted the format a bit.
