Draft Experience
Diamond Valley’s draft experience is geared toward hardcore limited players looking for something different. Driven largely by collectability, the ridiculous prices of vintage magic packs have ensured that drafting these old sets is essentially equivalent to setting your money on fire. This draft product removes the collectibility premium from the equation, and replaces it with a sophisticated and thoughtful limited experience that faithfully recreates the experience of drafting booster packs. DV adds value by double sleeving everything from the start, including matching basic lands, and even provides an extra set of rares so that you can draft twice for the price of a single experience.
Your DV Draft Experience starts with a medium flat rate box. Make sure to open the box carefully, since you’ll use the same flat rate box to return the cards to us.
Inside the shipping box you’ll find 3 very tightly packed boxes. The trick is to open the flap of the center box and pull up on the flap. It should pull up pretty easily.
Your draft experience contains 24 packs, a complete set of basic lands, and a box of Diamond Valley Draft Extras. You’ll receive 13 copies of each basic land art, meaning you’ll have 260 double sleeved basics to round out your decks.
Each pack comes with a tamper-proof seal to show that USPS (or your playgroup) hasn’t tampered with the packs. Also, it just feels really darn cool to break the seal for each pack.
I personally recommend using your thumb to break the seal at its narrow point, but you can also peel the seals. That makes it easier for us to reseal them later.
Each pack is collated to match the distribution of cards originally contained in the booster pack.
Now make your P1P1, and get to drafting! Once you’re done with packs 2 and 3 you’ll have your draft pool, already double sleeved and with a full set of matching basic lands! Make your deck, agonize over your terrible decision to switch colors in pack 3, and jam some games!
Once your games are done, make sure to check out the box of Diamond Valley Draft Experience Extras! Your experience rental includes another set of 24 rares, with no duplication between the rares you opened the first time around. So remake 24 packs and fix all your mistakes from the first draft!
When you’re finished cubing with your playgroup just put the cards and lands back in their respective holders. Pack them in the box and use the included shipping label to get the cards back to us. As a token of our appreciation your playgroup will also enjoy 10% off your next draft experience, so start browsing and thinking about what you want to draft next.
