Magic Presents: It's Turtle Time! puts a special twist on the Pick-Two Draft format - a streamlined, four-player drafting experience ideal for small groups and casual play.
Unlike traditional eight-player drafts, Pick-Two Drafts allow each player to select two cards per pick, reducing the number of participants needed while maintaining strategic depth and fun. Games are played in pods with a minimum of four players; we recommend breaking players into pods based on attendance this way:
3–7 players: 1 pod
8–11 players: 2 pods
12–15 players: 3 pods
Etc.
After the draft, players will compete in two rounds of Swiss featuring special, Turtles-themed rules.
All players begin each game with an emblem with the following rules text:
- Mutant creatures you control have "Whenever this creature attacks, you gain 1 life."
- Ninja spells and spells with sneak you cast cost 1 less to cast.
- Turtle creatures you control enter with an additional +1/+1 counter on them.
(Note that player pods may opt out of the special rules if all players in the group agree.)
We'll be giving a special promo version of Ossification and Disdainful Stroke to every player who signs up for the draft! The undefeated (2–0) player from each pod will also receive a promo Spicy Oatmeal Pizza.
