Monster of the Week // Monster of the Week (cont'd)

2+ players | 2+ packs | 10 minutes OBJECTIVE: Compete to be the best wedding planner for the bride Olivia Voldaren, by matching cards to her chosen theme. GET READY: Each player opens a booster and sets aside all cards without _Magic_ card backs. Then each player randomly selects a nonland, non-colorless _Magic_ card from their own cards without revealing it to the rest of the players. Shuffle all players' remaining cards together and place the stack face down in the center of all players. Each player's selected card is their wedding *theme*, and they may secretly look at their own card at any time. Each player is dealt 4 cards, then turn over the top card of the stack to create a discard pile. Randomly determine who goes first. Then take turns counterclockwise. LET'S PLAY: Players take turns drawing and discarding cards, trying to create a hand of cards with the highest point value. Players may draw the top card of the deck *OR* pick up *any* card from the discard pile. If a card is taken from the discard pile, they must *take every card discarded on top of that card* as well. Whenever a player picks up one or more cards, they must discard one.

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.
