MTG Draft Simulator: Best to Use

Magic: The Gathering’s Draft format is one of its most popular as well as one of its most complicated. Rather than giving players pre-made decks or allowing them to bring their own, Drafting is a strategic process that some have taken to analyze, especially in advance of new set releases.

Draft is a format in MTG that gives each member of a group of players (usually eight) three special Draft Boosters. Players cannot simply use the cards in these boosters to create decks, however, instead they must pick a single card from their pack, then pass it to another player, adding uncertainty to what cards any given player will have access to.

Draft is popular but can sometimes be difficult for inexperienced players to get into. That’s why a number of sites exist that allow you to simulate and practice drafting without the risk of actual playing.

The most popular Draft Simulator for MTG is Draftsim. Draftsim is free and easy to use – it allows you to create a Draft pool for the most recent sets and create a virtual deck, though it cannot be played. Draftsim is a good way to practice in advance of an in-store Draft event or a Draft event on Magic: The Gathering Arena.

MTG’s latest set, Phyrexia: All Will Be One, is coming to stores and Arena soon. Arena will likely have a Draft event for the new set, so it might be a good idea to practice on Draftsim with the new cards before jumping into the real deal.
