Magic: The Gathering—FINAL FANTASY Omniscience Draft

Draft three packs of Magic: The Gathering—FINAL FANTASY against bots and keep the cards you draft, but with some twists: You don't have to pay the mana costs for spells you cast! You'll also get one mana of each color each turn to use for abilities, and every player starts with three cards in their hand instead of seven.

Select one card at a time from rotating draft packs. The cards will be added to your collection, and you'll use them plus basic lands to build a 40-card deck. Play games and receive prizes based on how many games you win!

Magic: The Gathering—FINAL FANTASY Omniscience Draft runs from July 18–22. Act fast, embrace chaos, prepare for glory.
