What Is Magic Presents: Open the Archive?

Magic Presents: Open the Archive invites players to draft Secrets of Strixhaven, but with a twist. Mystical Archive cards—some of the most exciting pulls in each pack—can be played in any deck, regardless of color, opening new strategies and letting players fully enjoy every Mystical Archive card they draft.

Running from May 22 to June 18, this special Draft event occurs during the second half of the Secrets of Strixhaven season, offering stores and players a new experience after a few weeks of normal Draft play.

Digital Reward Added for Magic Presents: Open the Archive

MTG Arena will be promoting the in-store Magic Presents: Open the Archive event and will reward players who participate in at least one of these events with a Ral Zarek avatar in the game. To receive the avatar, players must register for the event using the same Wizards Account they use to log into MTG Arena. The avatar will be delivered to their in-game player inbox within one week of the event.

Play Rules/Modifiers

The best way for four players to draft! Like a traditional booster draft, each player will start with three booster packs. In Pick-Two Draft, players always select two cards from each booster pack and then pass that booster pack to the next player. For the first booster pack, players pass the cards to their left. Once all players have selected all the cards from the first pack, they'll open a second pack, continue selecting two cards at a time, and pass the pack to their right. After all those cards are drafted, players do the same with the third pack, passing to the left again. At the end, each player will have about 42 cards, which they can use to build a 40-card deck, adding in any basic lands they need.

Players should play one-on-one games after the draft. In a four player Pick-Two Draft, players should play two rounds, with the winning players from the first round pairing up, and the other two players also pairing up.
