What's a rare redraft?
As a charity event, we need you to donate RARE/MYTHIC RARE cards you would like to see in the event! Our Magic pros will then use these donations to create draft boosters of nothing but Rare and Mythic Rare cards (and maybe some non-rare mana fixing).

Donations
You can also donate bulk rares! There is a bulk rare collection box located by the judge desk in our play space. We need your bulk rares, and every single card donated will be used in the draft or in prize packs.

However, the best way to help is to donate those jaw-dropping cards in your collection to help make this draft a memorable one! Anyone who donates an individual card valued at $10 or more will be entered into a drawing for special prizes! Each card worth $10 or more will get you one raffle ticket.

If you have a $10+ single card donation to make, check in with the judges or staff when you're in the shop to have your photo taken with the card for our Wall of Fame! 

As an incentive for you to donate those good rares - there are some prizes based on the final value of rares donated! More prizes to be announced soon!

We also have a new special prize this year: For the 8 players who donate the highest cumulative value of rares, you will earn entry into a special Collector Booster Draft of The Hobbit! You won't want to miss this! Only rares of $10+ in individual value are counted toward this.

Special Bonus!
During the event, we'll give you the opportunity to donate more and spice up your game a little!
  • For $5 you will receive a set of 3 cards that are usable once!
  • Each of these cards lets you do something unique: a free mulligan, a land grab or add one mana.
  • They will have special rules and be torn up after use! But you can donate enough to get some for each round if you want!
Thank you!
Thank you to the players at Common Ground Games and beyond who have helped make this Not-So-Reject Rare Draft possible for more than a decade! Every repack used for this special draft event has been made using donated mythics, rares, and promos. We couldn't host this event without your support!
