| − | '''Limited''' [[format]]s are so-called because they require players to build their decks from a more limited pool of cards than [[Constructed]] formats. Limited formats require players to open a specified number of ''[[Magic]]'' products] they then must work exclusively with the cards that came from that product. Due to the nature of Limited formats, players cannot build their decks in advance of the [[tournament]] and must build their deck within the tournament itself. |
||
| − | ==Rules== |
||
| − | *Limited decks must contain a minimum of 40 cards. There is no maximum deck size, however, the player must be able to shuffle their deck unassisted. |
||
| − | *Players are not restricted to four of any one card in Limited tournament play. |
||
| − | *Any drafted or opened cards not used in a player’s Limited deck function as his or her sideboard. |
||
| − | * Players may request additional [[basic land]] cards for their sideboard (usually with organizers supplying a stock of basic lands). |
||
| − | * There are no restrictions on the number of cards a player may exchange this way as long as the main deck contains at least forty cards. Cards do not need to be exchanged on a one-for-one basis. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Formats== |
||
| − | The two most common Limited formats are [[sealed deck]] and [[booster draft]]. |
||
| − | ===Sealed deck=== |
||
| − | In sealed deck tournaments, each player receives six [[booster pack]]s (each containing 15 cards) from which to build their deck. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Booster draft=== |
||
| − | In a booster draft, players each receive three booster packs of 15 cards. After being seated around a table, each player simultaneously opens one booster pack, selects a single card, and then passes the rest to the next player over. After all players have drafted fifteen cards, they each open their second pack, and drafting continues (sometimes in reverse order during the second pack). |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Other=== |
||
| − | * in the [[casual]] [[Duplicate Sealed]] format, everyone receives the exact same card pool. |
||
| − | * In [[Rotisserie Draft]] very single card of a subset of ''Magic'' cards is legal and every card only appears once. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Trivia== |
||
| − | * Sealed deck was formerly played with a 75-card [[tournament pack]], containing 45 cards and 30 basic lands, and two booster packs. |
||
| − | * It is [[development]]'s job to balance a set, and to make it playable in Limited. |
||
| − | * Limited was featured as [[rules card]] 6 of 9 in the ''[[Magic 2011]]'' set. |
