All participants must have some experience with Lorcana and a basic knowledge of how to play.

How does the Lorcana Draft format work?
Participates will receive 4-packs with entry to contribute to a pick-and-pass draft around the table of players, called a Pod. With their selected cards, each player will build a 40-card deck (using any number of the inks). Using those newly built decks, players will participate in 3 round Swiss-tournament against three different players. Each round consists of up to 3 matches, best of three determines the table’s winners. The event host will act as a judge of rules questions and clarifications.

Prizes available!

Psst. We’ll be hosting a monthly Lorcana event on the last Wednesday of each month. The event formats will fluctuate! These events will typically be a free casual constructed play format and on occasion will host a draft or sealed tournament with an entry fee. Mark your calendars and keep your eyes open for future format announcements!
