How to Draft 2 players Minneapolis Draft- From the twobert article:
Minneapolis Draft is a two-player draft format where both players make eight packs of seven cards. Each player starts by simultaneously opening their first pack without showing the contents to the other player, drafting one card face down, and then trading their first pack with the other player. Then each player takes two cards from the other player’s pack and trades back. Finally, players take an additional two cards from the pack they had opened and the last two cards in each pack are discarded face-down from the draft. To reiterate, that’s one first pick, two picks from the other player’s pack, and then two last cards from the pack you opened before discarding the remaining two cards from the draft. Players continue this process until all eight of their packs have been drafted. From here players add any number of basic lands to their deck and play some 40-card Limited Magic.
• Start with 18 packs of 9 cards.
• For each pack, lay it out in a 3×3 grid face up (just lay them out in order, don’t look at the cards and decide where each one should go).
• The first player takes a row or column.
• The second player takes a remaining row or column. Discard the undrafted cards (which will be 3 or 4 cards per pack).
• Alternate who goes first each pack.
Each player gets 5 packs of 9 cards, and drafts each pack like a standard booster draft (pack 1 goes to the left, pack 2 to the right, etc.)
face-up snake draft.- Make 12 packs of 16 cards
- lay one pack face up in a 4 by 4 grid.
- Choose a starting drafter. That person chooses a card, and then each player going clockwise chooses a card. When the last drafter chooses a card the draft "snakes" and goes back the other direction. Once all cards in a pack have been drafted, the second drafter becomes the new starting drafter.
- Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each pack.
Example: The draft order goes (by drafter number):
1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4
|
1 <- 2 <- 3 <- 4
|
1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4
|
1 <- 2 <- 3 <- 4
