What is Snake Draft?
We asynchronously draft cards from the standard card pool. The draft occurs on discord and might take a week or so. After that we play ~4 rounds of double sided swiss, with the expectation that everyone gets one round done per week, so not a huge time commitment. Games can be done either on jnet or in person at a regular meetup.

Draft Rules:

• We are building Standard decks using the current Standard ban list
• The draft will be a snake draft. Drafting in round 1 will go Player 1, 2, 3, …. 7, 8, and then in round 2, it will be the reverse order (Player 8, 7, 6, … 2, 1), and so forth. This means that Players 1 and 8 will be drafting twice in a row at the end of rounds.
• We will do 16 rounds of drafting.
• If you draft a card, you may include up to a full playset of it in your deck, nobody else may use the card
• All players are allowed to use any undrafted cards
• You must draft an ID if you want a specific one, otherwise you get a blank ID for one selected faction with a 45 card deck size and 15 influence
• Everyone gets full playsets of Sure Gamble, Hedge Fund, and Spin Doctor for free (you must still spend influence on Spin Doctor if not playing NBN).
• You must adhere to your selected ID's influence requirements and deck size
• You may make deck edits/changes from week to week (following the above rules)
• If you literally cannot build a corp deck because you don’t have access to enough agendas, you are permitted to use blank 5/3s

Prizes:

• I have a H1 2026 CTK. If you’re interested in prize support, there’s an optional suggested donation of $10 to me, but if you’re not interested in prize support, you can skip that.
• I will distribute prizes at local events when we see each other.
