There are no rules. It's anarchy in its purest, evilest form. Don't play.

A wise man once told me "Friends don't let friends play T1 Multi" right before I played T1 Multi round.

I should have listened.

You guys a too funny but isn't booster draft essentially the same thing?  Is that evil too?

Booster is actually the best category. It's like MP only in setup, as it's usually 4 people. It's much better because of the crazy decks that result in the random nature of the draft. T1-MP takes T1-2P and warps it into a free-for-all that turns everyone into animals that try to outdraw and outsearch everyone else. Like booster, it usually ends with one person being singled-out as the threat and everyone else ganging up on said person, but with Dominants.

In short, Booster is the fun category, T1-MP is the serious category. Even if you lose in booster, you can still have some really fun games. That's much less likely to happen in T1-MP, where losses tend to feel more bitter and undeserved.

The important thing in any MP game is that no one draws 3 the first round. The person who goes first is the one that draws 3 first, when everyone has had their first turn. At least, I'm pretty sure that's how it is, it's changed more than once I think...

So after drafting the packs, how do rounds work? Do all the players drafting have a big multiplayer game?
