It looks like we’re all set for a draft!
How to Play [Drafting]
In a draft, players build a 41 card deck (40 deck+1 Leader Card) only from cards included in the booster packs (deck construction rules have been altered in order to fit the format).
First, open one series 1 or 2 booster, choose a card, and place it in front of you face-down. Then, pass the remaining cards to the person on your left.
(*Be sure to keep both the cards you picked and the remaining cards face-down at all times.)
(*each player should be opening the same series booster.)
Put the remaining 5 boosters and Leader Card aside for now.

*Choose a card which you would like have when building your deck and place it in front of you face-down. Then pass on the remaining 11 cards to the player on your left.
If you wish to take a Leader Card from the booster, reveal the card to all other players before placing it in front of you
The act of passing cards to the next player is called “drafting.”
Do not draft before confirming each player has chosen a card from the pile of cards they currently have. Decide any sort of drafting call such as “Draft!” or “Go!” so all players pass around cards simultaneously.
When you receive a pile with 11 cards, choose 1 card from them and pass the remaining 10 cards to the player on your left.
Repeat this process until there are no more cards left in each pile.
*Note!
If you open a booster pack with a Leader Card, If you have only leader card which was distributed in advance you must choose and take Leader Card from that pile.
Then you can also choose another card to take in a normal fashion. Pass on the remaining cards to the next player.
- *If a player only has the Leader Card distributed at the beginning of the draft
-
*Take a Leader Card, then take another card from the same pile.
- *If a player already has any other Leader Cards
-
After the cards from the first booster run out, open a new booster but for this round pass the remaining cards to the player on your right.
Reverse the direction cards are passed around each round as such, and repeat this process until all cards from all 6 packs run out.
![How to Play [Drafting]](../../images/product/dbs-box01/how-to_01/img_04.png)
When all cards have been taken, the draft is over.
After the draft, players need to construct their decks. Each deck must be made up of 41 cards (1 Leader Card + 40 cards).
Players can use the Leader Card distributed to them at the beginning of the draft, or any Leader Card they took from Boosters. Combine the cards you strategically chose to create the deck you hand in mind while drafting! (*you cannot reveal or trade cards with other players)
All remaining cards can be used as your side board.
How to Play [Battle]
A round robin tournament (fighting against all other players) with Bo3 matches is recommended.
After finishing a game, players can switch around any number of cards between their decks and sideboards before moving onto to 2nd and 3rd games. In a Bo3 match, the first player to win 2 games wins the match.
Fight to the top in this battle of gameplay and deck construction skills.
After Playing [Distributing Prizes]
Decide how to distribute the cards pulled from the booster packs.
We recommend the methods below when drafting with the DRAGONBALL SUPER CARD GAME.
-
Keep What You Pull
Each player keeps all the cards they took from boosters during the draft. -
Rare Redraft (In order of placement)
At the end of the tournament, lay out all rare cards (Rare, Super Rare, Special Rare, and Secret Rare) on the table. Then, players take turns drafting a card of their choice starting from the player who ranked 1st place, then 2nd place, and so on.
Players keep all the common and uncommon cards they took from boosters during the draft.
Drafting for the Very First Time
Let’s look at a few key concepts for drafting DRAGON BALL SUPER CARD GAME.
Once you have these under your belt, drafting will be easier – and more fun!
①Draft lots of cards with lower energy costs!
If you draft nothing but expensive cards, you’ll have difficulty playing enough Battle Cards to keep up the pace, and may find yourself without enough cards in the Battle Area – a dangerous predicament to be in.
Draft a balance of low-cost cards, and you’ll avoid this problem handily.
②Aggressively pick flexible Leader Cards!
“BT1-001 Champa,” “BT2-068 Cell” and similar Leader Cards don’t require you to play specific colors or cards, making them easy to use regardless of what you end up picking during the draft.
③Avoid taking too many combo cost 1 cards
If you take too many cards with a combo cost of 1, you’ll find it difficult to combo.
Combos can be performed with energy of any color, so it’s worth checking the combo cost of cards – even when they’re not in colors you’re playing. If you think you might be taking too many combo cost 1 cards, try splashing an off-color 0-combo cost card to get back on track.
④Try to limit the number of colors you draft
If you build a deck with cards from more than one or two colors, you might have trouble finding enough energy to play your cards during an actual game.
Pick one or two colors to focus on during a draft, and you’ll have a much easier time building a successful deck.
⑤Use the Draft Box Leader Cards
Starting with a Leader Card in mind can form the backbone of your deck.
By matching powerful cards that match restrictions on your leader (like BT1-045 0 combo cost Piccolo), you can obstruct your opponents while strengthening your deck.
Drafts let you enjoy DRAGON BALL SUPER CARD GAME in a totally new way.
Have fun, think of the tips outlined above, and you’ll be a master drafter in no time!
And since drafts let you combine the excitement of opening packs with the depth of deckbuilding, it’s the perfect chance to have your friends over for a night of drafting fun!
