What is Sealed Play?

Sealed play is a limited format that combines the limited card pool aspect of draft play with the more open-ended deckbuilding approach of constructed. Like draft play, everyone starts the event off on equal footing, and like constructed play, this format gives you the opportunity to let your deckbuilding skills shine.

Deckbuilding:

At the beginning of a sealed play event, you will open six booster packs.

Using the cards opened in your 6 packs, build a deck while adhering to the following rules:

  • Your deck must consist of exactly one leader, exactly one base, and a minimum 30-card draw deck.

  • Your sideboard includes all of the other cards you opened from your packs.

  • You can use any common base for your deck, even one that did not come from one of the booster packs you opened.

  • You can only use a rare base if it was in one of the booster packs you opened.

  • Your draw deck can include any number of copies of the same card.

Playing:

  • Let the GSRs know when you are ready for pairings

  • Play 3 best-of-three matches!

  • Players may utilize their pool as a sideboard to swap cards in between rounds.

  • Report wins to the GSRs in between rounds.

  • After 3 rounds, don't forget to collect your prize packs!
