It is the typical format played in paper at &lt;em&gt;prerelease&lt;/em&gt; events whenever a new Magic expansion is released.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On Arena, it costs &lt;span class="arena-cur arena-cur--positive" title="Gems: 2,000" aria-label="Gems: 2,000"&gt;&lt;img class="arena-cur__icon" src="https://www.bolt-the-bird.com/arena/gems.webp" alt="" aria-hidden="true"&gt;&lt;span class="arena-cur__amount"&gt;2,000&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
to enter, which is more expensive than Draft (&lt;span class="arena-cur arena-cur--positive" title="Gems: 1,500" aria-label="Gems: 1,500"&gt;&lt;img class="arena-cur__icon" src="https://www.bolt-the-bird.com/arena/gems.webp" alt="" aria-hidden="true"&gt;&lt;span class="arena-cur__amount"&gt;1,500&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
). I assume that is because, on top of whatever you win by playing, just for entering you get to keep the contents of 6 boosters (which cost &lt;span class="arena-cur arena-cur--positive" title="Gems: 1,200" aria-label="Gems: 1,200"&gt;&lt;img class="arena-cur__icon" src="https://www.bolt-the-bird.com/arena/gems.webp" alt="" aria-hidden="true"&gt;&lt;span class="arena-cur__amount"&gt;1,200&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
in the &lt;em&gt;Store&lt;/em&gt;), whereas in a Draft you only open 3 boosters. It is also a more forgiving format than Draft: even if you do not win a single match, you still get &lt;span class="arena-cur arena-cur--positive" title="Gems: 200" aria-label="Gems: 200"&gt;&lt;img class="arena-cur__icon" src="https://www.bolt-the-bird.com/arena/gems.webp" alt="" aria-hidden="true"&gt;&lt;span class="arena-cur__amount"&gt;200&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
and 3 prize packs.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
