  • Every player who finish the tournament will be have an additional gift : Promo Card and Deck Box (While stock last. Subjected to changes)
Tournament Format :

Modified format with booster draft

At a signal from the Tournament Organizer, each player opens one (of six) booster pack without
revealing its contents to the other players. Each player then selects one card from his or her
booster pack and lays it face down in front of him or her. Once a card has been placed in a
player’s stack, it is considered selected and cannot be returned to the pack in exchange for
another card. Players then pass the remaining cards, face down, to the person on that player’s
left. The cards selected by each player should remain private knowledge during the drafting
process. Each player continues to select one card from among the cards handed to him or her
until all of the cards have been selected.

This process repeats for each remaining booster pack, with the passing pattern alternating from
left to right as each new pack is opened. After all of the booster packs have been opened and all
of the cards have been selected, each player constructs a 40‐card deck, using only the cards he
or she selected. Players have 30 minutes to construct their decks.

Players may not trade the cards they selected in the draft with other players until the
tournament ends. The Tournament Organizer may require players to fill out deck lists, including
the cards in their decks and any cards not being used. Once the first round of the tournament
begins, players may not alter the contents of their decks.

Each player will play with only 4 prize cards.

Time Limit : 20 minutes plus 3 Turns

We have imposed a time limit per round in order to run the event smoothly. If a match has not ended by the expiration of the round time limit, a winner must be determined without delaying the tournament for an unreasonable time.

If time is called during a player’s turn, he or she completes the current turn, we will then add 3 more turns. This is three turns combined not three turns for each player. This will mean that the player who is not active when time is called will get the last turn.

Use the following criteria, in order, to determine the outcome of a game that is unfinished after the three turns. After one of the criteria has been met, none of the others are applied.
  • If both players were on time to the match and were not away from the match for any period of time, the judge determines the winner based on the number of Prize cards that each player has remaining. The player with the fewest Prize cards remaining wins the match.
  • If both players have the same number of Prize cards remaining, the current game continues, starting with any in‐between turn effects that take place after the last completed turn, if necessary, until a Prize card is drawn. The player drawing the next Prize card is considered the winner of the match and the match ends.
