Monster of the Week

1 player | 1 pack | 5 minutes
OBJECTIVE:
Survive the night by defeating the monster in your booster!
GET READY:
Open a booster and pick a double-faced card (DFC), then set it aside. This is the monster you will face. Discard all ad, token, and art cards. Shuffle the remaining cards into a stack and place it face down to create your library.
LET'S PLAY:
Play a game of Magic against the monster with the following rule modifications:
• You start with zero cards in hand and 20 life.
• At the beginning of your upkeep, create a Treasure token. (It's an artifact with "{T}, Sacrifice this artifact: Add one mana of any color.")
The monster doesn't have a life total, mana, or library, and it can only be defeated by removing it from the battlefield twice: once on its front side and once on its transformed side.

Monster of the Week (cont'd)

The monster behaves automatically as follows:
• It starts the game on the battlefield on its front side.
• It doesn't attack until it has taken a number of turns equal to its mana value.
• It attacks you on each of its turns after it's able to attack.
• The first time it leaves the battlefield for any reason, return it to the battlefield transformed. It can't transform by any other means. (It now attacks during each of its turns regardless of if it could attack before it transformed.)
• If it leaves the battlefield for any reason while transformed, it is defeated.
Take turns with the monster, performing its actions for it.
Though you cannot attack the monster, you can block with your creatures when it attacks, and you can target it with spells that target any creature or a creature your opponent controls.
You lose if your life total reaches 0 or if you attempt to draw a card from an empty library.
TO WIN:
Defeat the transformed monster to win.

Vampire Wedding Planner

2+ players | 2+ packs | 10 minutes
OBJECTIVE:
Compete to be the best wedding planner for the bride Olivia Voldaren, by matching cards to her chosen theme.
GET READY:
Each player opens a booster and sets aside all cards without _Magic_ card backs. Then each player randomly selects a nonland, non-colorless _Magic_ card from their own cards without revealing it to the rest of the players. Shuffle all players' remaining cards together and place the stack face down in the center of all players. Each player's selected card is their wedding *theme*, and they may secretly look at their own card at any time. Each player is dealt 4 cards, then turn over the top card of the stack to create a discard pile. Randomly determine who goes first. Then take turns counterclockwise.
LET'S PLAY:
Players take turns drawing and discarding cards, trying to create a hand of cards with the highest point value. Players may draw the top card of the deck *OR* pick up *any* card from the discard pile. If a card is taken from the discard pile, they must *take every card discarded on top of that card* as well. Whenever a player picks up one or more cards, they must discard one.

Vampire Wedding Planner (cont'd)

Points are scored as follows:
• 1 point for each card in your hand that matches your theme card's *color* or *mana value*
• 1 point for each artifact or foil card (Olivia likes shiny things)
• 1 point for a land (maximum of 1). The location of the wedding.
• -1 point for any card that does *NOT* count for one of the above
*Cards can count for multiple points if they meet multiple criteria.*
TO WIN:
Play ends after each player has taken four turns. Players reveal all of their cards and pitch their wedding theme as they total their points. The player with the most points wins. Ties are shared.

Strictly Better

3-6 players | 3-6 packs | 15 minutes
OBJECTIVE:
Some cards are strong in Standard, others shine in Draft, but which card looks the tastiest? Take turns being the Judge and decide which Magic card is the best of the best in each wacky category.
GET READY:
Randomly determine who will be the first Judge. Each player then opens a pack, removes any cards without Magic backs, and looks at their cards.
LET'S PLAY:
The Judge chooses a category from the list on the back of this card (either their favorite or at random). The other players each secretly submit a card from their pack that they think fits the category.
When the Judge has collected all the cards, they reveal each card, read it aloud, then choose the winner.
The Judge role then passes to the next player, and they select a different category.
