Careful Study (minigame) // Careful Study (cont'd)

3-6 players | 3-6 packs | 15 minutes OBJECTIVE: Some cards are strong in Standard, others shine in Draft, but which card looks the tastiest? Take turns being the Judge and decide which Magic card is the best of the best in each wacky category. GET READY: Randomly determine who will be the first Judge. Each player then opens a pack, removes any cards without Magic backs, and looks at their cards. LET'S PLAY: The Judge chooses a category from the list on the back of this card (either their favorite or at random). The other players each secretly submit a card from their pack that they think fits the category. When the Judge has collected all the cards, they reveal each card, read it aloud, then choose the winner. The Judge role then passes to the next player, and they select a different category.

2 players | 2 packs | 10 minutes OBJECTIVE: Unlike Jace, not all of us can rely on telepathy to solve a mystery. Using other cards as clues, discover all the facts about your opponent's mystery card. GET READY: Randomly determine who goes first—that player is the Secretkeeper, and their opponent is the Detective. First, the Secretkeeper opens a pack and removes any lands and cards without Magic card backs. Next, they shuffle the remaining cards and pick one at random. That card is the mystery card. Finally, the Secretkeeper gives the Detective the rest of the cards, and the game begins. LET'S PLAY: The Detective must correctly guess four facts

2 players | 6 packs | 30 min | Basic Lands OBJECTIVE: Grab a friend and play some _Magic_ in this quick, casual 2-player Draft format. GET READY: Open six packs, remove all basic lands, ads, and tokens, and then shuffle the remaining cards together into a *stack* without looking at them. Place the stack face down, and then take the top four cards of the stack and place each one face up to create the beginnings of *four separate piles.* Randomly determine who drafts first. The first player to draft chooses one of the four piles and adds it to their draft pool. Place a new card from the stack onto each pile, including the empty spot. Then it is the next player's turn to draft. They also draft an entire pile and

1 player | 1 pack | 5 minutes OBJECTIVE: In ancient Dominaria, Urza and Serra would play *Dominarioes* to pass the time. Connect all cards in the *most condensed way possible.* GET READY: Open a pack, remove all basic lands, ads, and tokens. LET'S PLAY: Place a card face up to start the game. That card is now in play. Continue to place cards that connect to another card in play (see diagram on the back of this card). TO WIN: The game ends when all cards that can be connected have been placed. Determine how many cards long and wide the board is, then add whichever number is higher to the number of unplaced cards to get your rank. 5 or lower is Planeswalker (the best!), 6 is Wizard, and 7+ is Goblin!
