Description
<p>Cube draft is Magic the Gathering format in which players "draft" from a booster pack of the creator's own invention. Each player gets 3 "packs" of 15 randomized cards from the 360 available in the pool, picks one, and then passes to the left, continuing until no cards are remaining. After doing this 3 times, the 45 cards they draft can be supplemented with basic lands to form a 40 card deck. Afterwards players will compete in a 3 round swiss style tournament. This particular cube is a special one: not only are the only creatures available 100 copies of the namesake 0/2 Artifact Creature with flying, there are also no other ways to deal damage in the set that are not traceable back to an Ornithopter. After the dust settles, the ultimate winner will immortalize their winning Ornithopter by giving it some personal touches with a sharpie so that it will forever be theirs.</p>

GAME SYSTEM
This entry is to allow for discussion/rating of the game system as a whole. It is not for a specific product or release. Versions will appear on the individual item pages.
From the official website: In the Magic game, you play the role of a planeswalker—a powerful wizard who fights other planeswalkers for glory, knowledge, and conquest. Your deck of cards represents all the weapons in your arsenal. It contains the spells you know and the creatures you can summon to fight for you.
This is the grandfather of the collectible card game (or CCG) genre. Cards are categorized as common, uncommon, rare, and mythic rare. Players collect cards and build decks out of their collection.
Players build a deck of cards and duel against an opponent's deck. Players are wizards attempting to reduce their opponent's life total to zero. The first player to reduce his opponent's life to zero (or meet another set win condition) wins the game.
An important part of the game is deck construction, which is done prior to the actual game by selecting what cards are included in a particular deck. There are over 25,000 different cards from which to build your deck!
Cards can be lands, which usually generate mana of various colors, or spells, which require a certain amount of mana to be used. Some cards (creatures, artifacts, and enchantments) stay on the board and continue to affect the game, while others have a one-time effect.
Players randomly draw spells to see what they get and can play each turn. Although this limits your choices, there is a lot of strategy in how you play those spells. A robust list of game mechanics, including intricate rules for reactive card play called "the stack," provide for rich tactics and tough choices each turn.
Though traditionally a two-player duel, there are several casual and tournament formats to Magic that allow more players to play.
