Objective:

Best your opponent in a series of fast Magic games using only the cards in two booster packs!

Get Ready:

Each player opens two packs and makes three face-down piles of three cards each using the Magic cards inside. Players make their piles with the goal of winning a series of Magic games with these modified rules:

Players start at 5 life, have infinite mana, and cannot lose by
drawing from an empty library.

Let's Play:

Randomly determine who goes first. Each player chooses which pile their opponent will use for each round. Then both players draw all three of their cards and play a game of Magic. When a player loses a game, they get to go first in the next game.

To Win:

The first player to win two games wins the match.
