Rules

For Constructed events, players need an Avatar, 40 card spellbook, and 20 card Atlas as described in the Sorcery Rulebook.

For Sealed events, players will open 6 booster packs and build a 25 card spellbook and 12 card Atlas. Players can supplement their decks with any ordinary sites or avatars.

For Draft events, players will draft from 3 booster packs. To draft, open a booster pack, select one card, and pass the remaining cards to the left. This is repeated until the player has selected 14 cards. Ordinary sites and Avatars are not selected. For pack 2, pass to the right, and for pack 3 pass to the left. After drafting, build a 25 card spellbook and 12 card Atlas. Players can supplement their decks with any ordinary sites or avatars.

There will be no ban list. Tear up Eric's Curiosa at your own expense! Blow a minion with Chaos Twister at your own peril!
