Booster Draft (Game Mode)
Booster Draft is played 1 vs 1, and the recommended number of players is 8. Each player receives 4 Altered boosters. Players open their first booster, remove the Token/Foil card, choose one card and pass the rest of the booster to the person on their left. The process is repeated until all cards are selected. The same steps are followed for the other boosters, alternating passing directions (left-right-left-right). Decks must contain at least 30 cards following the deck construction rules.
Deck construction:
Decks built from the Booster Draft must follow these guidelines:
- A deck must contain a minimum of 30 cards.
- Token cards do not count towards the deck minimum. If you have Token cards to accompany your deck, they start outside your deck.
- You can play cards from up to three different factions.
- A deck may include one Hero card. If so, it counts towards the 30-card minimum.
- Your Hero must belong to one of the factions in your deck.
- You can choose not to play a Hero card.
- There is no restriction on the number of cards with the same name you can play in your deck.
- There is no restriction on the number of rare
or unique 
cards you can play in your deck.

Should I play a Hero card in my deck?
It is not mandatory to play a Hero card in limited formats like Booster Draft, but it is often preferable to play one in one of the factions of your deck rather than not playing one at all.
Can I change my deck between games?
Players can freely modify their deck using their pool of drafted cards between games when playing in limited formats.
When should I scan my cards and add them to my digital collection?
After the draft phase, during deck construction, unless otherwise indicated by the draft organizer.
What happens if I don't have enough cards for a 30-card deck, and I don't have enough Mana Convergence tokens?
Check with the tournament organizer if they have additional tokens. If you are unable to find any, use other tokens as substitutes.
