Draft

Draft or card drafting is the process where players pick cards from a limited subset, such as a common pool, to gain some immediate advantage or to assemble hands of cards that are used to meet objectives within the game. With the introduction of the designed-for-digital Spellbook mechanic in Alchemy: Innistrad, Draft became a keyword action, albeit limited to Magic: The Gathering Arena.
==Description==
Games where cards are simply drawn from a pile are not card drafting games - drafting implies that players have some sort of choice. 
The most commonly known draft format in Magic: The Gathering is Booster Draft. But there are many casual variants, as well. Examples are Auction Draft, Flavor Draft , Chaos Draft and Conspiracy Draft. 
==Draft matters==
Conspiracy was the first set to include cards that have abilities that affect the draft itself. To date, only Conspiracy and its sequel Conspiracy: Take the Crown have contained draft abilities.
